State Convention Roll for
the Nebraskan.
DELEGATES TO VOTE AS A UNIT
Instructed to Stand by Him First, Last
and All the Time.
Declared in the Platform the Greatest
Statesman in the Countrywide
Toilette Republicans in
Council.

Milwaukee, Feb. 14.-WiseOnsin will
send a solid delegation to the Demo
cratic national convention at Denver
pledged to support William j. Bryan
for the presidential nomination. This
much is very apparent from the out
come of the various district caucuses
which have named delegates to be pre-
scented to the state convention for con-
firmation.
The convention was called to order
at the Davidson theater by State Chair
man Fl. H. Hanson, who introduced
as temporary chairman John f. Doher-
ty. of Lacrosse. Dohertys speech was
a ringing Democratic address in which
he strongly outlined Democratic issues
and accused the Republican party of
assimilating Democratic doctrines He
closed by referring to William Jen-
nings Bryan as the standard bearer al
ready chosen. Doherty's reference to
Rrtan was vociferously cheered.
Milwaukee, Feb. 15.-The Wisconsin
delegation to the national Democratic
convention was at the closing session
of the state convention instructed to
vote as a unit for William J. Bryan as
the Democratic nominee for president
first. last and all the time. The plat
form containing the instructions was
unanimously adopted by the conven.
ton by a rising vote.
The delegates-at-large named to at
tend the national convention are as fol-
lows: Representative Chas. III. Weisse.
Sheboygan Falls; Herbert H. Manson.
Wausau; John A. Awkward, Madison
Melvin A. Hoyt, Milwaukee. The al
ternates are: Patrick II. Martin
Green Bay; Representative James w.
Murphy, Platteville; Daniel H. Grady
Portage; Thomas J. Fleming, Milwau-
kee. The delegates named by the CON
vention will be voted upon at the com
ing primary election and will be elect
ed without opposition.
In the contest for delegates-at-largC
somewhat of a sensation was sprung
by Daniel Grady, who after the nom
| nations had been closed asked permits
| sion to speak to a question of personal
| privilege. Grady upon taking the floor
| charged John A. Aylward, of Madison
of not always being a Bryan Demo
| crat, and cited several instances tC
which he asked Awkward to make re-
ply Awkward alleged that he was and
always had been a good Bryan Demo-
crat and was with him first, last and
all the time. 1t was very apparent
from the ballot which followed that
| Grady's action resulted in the loss
himself of a large number of votes,
! Awkward having received 391 to Grady
1853 votes.
The platform, which was unanimous
ly adopted, among other things reaf-
firms allegiance to the time-honored
| principles of Jeffersonian Democracy
declares hostility to Republican nation
al administrations, charges that party
with appalling abuses and eulogizes
William J. Bryan as the greatest living
| statesman of the United States.
