climbing a small birch, when she

fell.
The girl landed upon the back OF

The animal bounded off across the

The shock that had shaken Miss

Chairman Day of Minnesota
RidicuIes Idea of Rival
Convention
Says Vast Sums Were Spent in
Vain Effort to Defeat
johnson Men

ST. PAUL. May chairman Day of
the democratic state committee, who
is the private secretary of the gov
ernor today ridiculed the threat Of the
Bryan men to hold a rival convention
and send a contestinS delegation TO
Denver He said that the Bryan men
have probably carried but six counties
with a. total OF So delegates and that
IN no event will they have more than
a hundred OF the 9S5 votes in the state
convention.
Chairman Day said.
The convention is ours This talk
OF contests and a rival convention is
simply a bluff for the purpose of COW
ering up failure.
The Bryan leaders spent $4,000 in
this state and i know it, and now with
defeat staring them in the face they
arc trying 10 make those who fur
nished them with the stuff believe that
they were defrauded. I never saw such
a campaign of defamation and de-
bauchery Of voters as was carried on
by this same crowd.
WHY. they spent $4,000 in Henne-
pin county alone. What they did is
without record in the history or Min
nesota politics, They told people that
Johnson's defeat in Minnesota would
END the whole thing. and now that
they have failed they are crying fraud.
In half the counties of this state there
was no fight There was only one
ticket and that was Johnson.
I'VE are going TO Denver with a
johnson delegation and the Bryanites
can do what they please. We will not
recognize them in any way. II any Of
their number are in the convention and
shown to be entitled TO a seat they Will
get courteous treatment

T. A. Pike. secretary Of the Mime
sofa Bryan volunteers, said there would
be contests from Polk and Waseo coun-
ties and probably from Hennepin and
