UP To SHEEHAN AND RYAN

Lincoln, Neb, June Am statement
given tonight to the Associated Press,
William j. Bryan replied to an article ap-
pearing a week ago in a New York news
paper charging that Mr.. Bryan was the
beneficiary of a campaign contribution
made by Thomas f. Ryan. Mr.. Bryan
says:
Il have just read the story charging
that my brother-in-law, Mr.. Allen, chair
man of the democratic state committee
had conference with Mr.. Sheehan in
1904 in regard to campaign funds; that
Mr.. Sheehan, as Mr. Ryan's attorney Sc
cured from Mr.. Ryan $4,000 for the Ne
braska campaign; that Mr.. Ryan made
the contribution to secure my open and
unqualified support of Judge Parker; that
to disguise the source of the contribution
Mr.. Ryan gave the check of Mr.. Shee-
: han, and that Mr.. Sheehan gave his check
to Mr.. Allen.
chairman Allen and Mr.. Dahlman,
Nebraska member of the national dem
ocratic committee, have already denied
the charges, and stated that the only
money received came from the national
committee, but I desire to add the fol-
lowing statement:
Mr.. Allen says that he never saw
either Mr.. Sheehan or Mr.. Ryan, and
have no reason to doubt his word. If
Mr.. Ryan contributed to the Nebraska
campaign 1t was not with my knowledge
or consent. While ] had but a remote
personal interest in the Nebra ska cam
paign that year | am interested in Ne
braska politics, and | am also interested
in national politics, and | am not willing
to be in the slightest degree obligated to
any favor-seeking corporation. If the
newspaper in question wills secure from
either Mr.. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a state
ment or prove in any other way that
Mr.. Ryan gave to Mr.. Sheehan, to any
one else, or to the national committee
any sum whatever with the understands
ing that the sum would be used in the
Nebraska campaign, / shall see that the
amount is returned to Mr.. Ryan.
"As to the charge that my support of
Judge Parker was purchased / need only
say that announced my support of Judge
Parker Immediately after the ST. Louis
convention, and that support was open
and unqualified from the convention until
the polls closed. 1 had opposed his NOM
ination, but he had no more loyal sup
porter during the campaign. l was in
correspondence with him, and both on the
stump and with my pen rendered all the
assistance I could While the paper that
prints these charges was selling its
columns to the republican committee to
be used in caricaturing Judge Parker,
my paper was urging his election"

tory for Their Man-Chairman
Harry New VIII Begin at
Once on Contests.

Chicago, June 4--Political activity COM
renced in earnest today around the Au-
ditorium and the Auditorium annex and
the Coliseum. where the republican ma
tional convention is soon to be held. The
Cannon headquarters were permanently
opened In the Auditorium and the an
nouncement was made by a number OF tne
politicians friendly to candidates other
than William H. Taft that Foraker head
quarters will be opened tonight or tomor-
row In the Great Northern hotel.
Charles F. Kurtz of Columbus, O., who
has been Foraker lieutenant for 80
years, is to have charge of the senator's
interest.
Charles P. Taft, of Cincinnati, broth
er of the Secretary of War, came 10
Chicago today and promptly announced
that he expected the Secretary to be
nominated without difficulty on the
first ballot. He smiled as he cautioned
listeners to remember that he was a
prejudiced witness, but asserted that
there was no doubt in his mind that
only one ballot would be cast. He said
that in his opinion the figures of tho
Taft bureau should be taken seriously.
because, "our figures from the begin
ming of the fight for the republican
nomination have always been nearer
right than those of the other fellows.
Vice presidential gossip was promi-
nent Goday for the first time, the names
of Senator J. P. Dolliver of Iowa, and
James Sherman of New York, being
mentioned. John Hayes Hammond, the
well-known mining engineer, was also
talked of.

Cannon Men Confident.

AT the headquarters of Joseph @.
Cannon, it was declared that the esti-
mates of strength made by the Tat
people were largely overdrawn and
John Everman. the confidential man
of Congressman Mckinley of Cham
paign. who is in charge of headquar-
ters at the present time, asserted that
the Illinois candidate would not only
have more strength than has generally
been credited to him but that Taft peo-
pie would not be able to show more
than $50 votes on the first ballot.
The republican national COMMITTEES
will meet tomorrow at noon to hear
evidence in contests for the seating of
delegates on temporary roll.
Governor John A. Johnson of Min
nesota arrived in Chicago today and
spent short time at his headquarters
in the Grand Pacific hotel. Discussing
political conditions, he said
IT believe that the Denver convention
will be a delibarative body and that
nobody has sufficient number of dele
gates to assure nomination. l regard
the conditions as favorable for demo-
cratic success If the right man is
named and the right sort of platform
made. Nothing In recent development s
has changed my attitude and am still
a candidate for the nomination"

CONTESTS TO BE HEARD.
Alabama Republicans Figure Largely
Before Committee.

Chicago, June 4.-The full republican
national committee will meet tomorrow
at II o'clock and begin the hearings on
which will be determined the contests In
volving 229 seats in the convention. The
number of contests filed is so large that
their settlement has become the most in-
portant OF the pre-convention proceed
ings. The nomination of the republican
candidate for the presidency hinges alb
solutely upon the decision of the members
of the national committee. and the SUBJ
stantial approval of the decision by the
credentials committee of the convention.
Half of the contests decided in favor of
Secretary Taft would result in his win
ming on the first ballot, while failure to
capture this number unquestionably
would put the nomination in doubt.
Realizing the necessity of keeping a
majority of the contested delegates out
of the Taft column the representatives of
other candida tes have pooled issues In
most cases and as allies will urge their
claims before the national committee.
The proceedings, therefore, largely will
be resolved into Taft and anti-Taft con-
troversy. So far the south is con-
cerned, the most of the contests are in
states from south of the Mason and
Dixon line: the interests are being looked
after by Maj. F. c. Bryan of Washing
ton. He arrived in Chicago today and
announced that he would base his argu-
ments chiefly on the contention that in
most of the southern states the Taft
forces had disqualified the negro voters
from participating in the state and dis
trlct conventions. and that the allied
delegates had been selected at conver-
tions from which no class or race had
been barred.
News Programme.
If the programme mapped out by Ma
tional Chairman Harry S. New to govern
the proceedings of the committee In hear
ing the contests is carried out, little OPP
portunity for fine arguments or oratorical
effort will be presented This programme
will be submitted to the committee for
action Immediately upon the session be-
ine called 10 order tomorrow. II will pro-
vide for daily meetings to begin at 10
q. nj. and continue until 6 p. M. without
recess for luncheon. Thirty minutes for
each side will be allowed in state con-
tests, involving the seat of four delegates
at large and their alternates in each
case. There are II such contests, the
states being Alabama, Florida, Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina.

HEARS RUM0RS
Of SHORTAGE

keepers, this morning.
Mr.. Cannon has not yet secured
any evidence of a shortage. Little
more than casual glance has been
given to the books as yet. After
the crematory department has
been checked up today the experts
will undertake to go over the
treasurer's water department
books. If no shortages are re-
.yealed the worl, will require only
about month. Should any short
age be found it will necessitate
several months work, as it will be
necessary to check over thousands
Of receipts.
The crematory department, on
which they are working today, is
a small job as the department has
been in existence only few
months.
Mr.. Cannon will not undertake
to make any statement as to re-
ports of a shortage in the treas
urer's department. This is merely
talk yet, probably for political pur-
poses.
