BRYAN CONFIDENT
OF NOMINATION
QUESTION OF VICE-PRESIDENT
TO BE POSTPONED TILL
LEADER Is CHOSEN.
II Democratic Convention Chooses
Bryan, He Wants Hand in
Naming Running-Mate.


managers have at no time shown
any nervousness over the renewed
activities of the "allies," and Mayor
Dahlman. of Omaha, one Of the
Bryan chiefs, made a very definite
statement showing the expectations
of the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follows:
''Mr. Bryan will be nominated on
the first ballot.
"The Bryan forces control SO del
egations and will have at least that
many members of the committee on
resolutions and possibly more. The
platform adopted will be In accord
ance with Mr.. Bryan's personal views
and will express his well-known
cas- on all of the important politi-
cal issues"
The question of the selection OF
a candidate on the Democratic ticket
for the ice-Presidency will not be
determined until after the nomina-
tion of a candidate for the Presi-
dency. This Is the desire OF Mr..
Bryan and has been communicated
to the Bryan leaders. Mr.. Bryan
has taken the position that not until
after the first position has been filled
can there be q really intelligent Sc
lection for the second place.
This desire on the part OF Mr..
Bryan has been received generally
with favor. Most of the delegates
agree that the situation can be sized
up to bvs.er advantage after the first
selection Is made than before that
event. She present disposition Is
not onf, o postpone the selection OF
a Vice Presidential candidate until
after the nomination for the first
place, but to adjourn the convention
for long enough time to permit
general exchange Of views among
the leaders and to give the Presi-
Dental nominee an opportunity to
express his preference. Mr.. Bryan
has not hesitated in letting the fact
be lSaAwn that IL the nomination for
the Presidency goes to him he will
desire to be consulted as to the
choice OF a running-mate.
The following injunction plank
drawn by Former Mayor Dunno, of
Chicago, has been given out. 1t was
said that Mr.. Bryan has requested
Judge Dunne's membership on the
resolutions committee, so 1t is be-
lieved that his plank represents Mr..
Bryan's views:
"The right of court OF chancery
to intervene and protect the status
quo between lltigants is unquestioned,
but no such writ should issue ex
parte and without notice, except
where 1t Is clearly made to appear
that irreparable injury will result
unless the writ be issued immediate
ly and without notice, and In such
cases the motion to dissolve such In
junction should take precedence OF
all other legal business in the court
issuing such injunction, and shall be
heard and determined befo8 any
other business Is considered in such
court. In all cases where injunc-
tions are issued, with or without no.
tice, an ample bond shall be exacted
OF complainant, sufficient to cover all
damages resulting to defendant from
the issuance OF such writ, including
reasonable attorneys fees incurred
in moving to dissolve such writ. In
all proceedings for contempt for vio-
latlon of an injunction enjoining the
commission of any act, which by the
common law or by statute Is made a
crime, and which is not committed
In the presence OF the court. the de-
fendant shall be entitled to jury
trial upon the issue of fact as to
whether he has committed such
crime and thus violated such injunc-
tion. We favor the passage of law
amending the chancery practice so
as to secure these results"
