 He expressed his views as follows:
 '.Mr. Bryan will be nominated on the first ballot.
 'The Bryan forces now control thir- ty-six delegations and will have at least that many members of the Com mittee on Resolutions and probably more.
 .The platform adopted will be in &C., cordance with Mir. Bryan's personal views and will express his well-known ideas on all of the important political issues"
 Governor Charles N. Haskell. of Ok lahoma, is now regarded as the leading candidate for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions, but there are many other prominent men being mem toned for the place. It is needless to say that loyal Bryan man win be chosen.
 "If the men who call themselves the old guard can unite on strong East ern Democrat for second place. said Mir. Haskell. tho Bryan men will not show curiosity as to the attitude of their candidate towards Mir. Bryan In
