If There is No Declaration as te Cana paign Contrihufionn, Democrats May Look Elsewhere for

Lincoln. Neb., July civilian T.. Bryan tonight in speech before the Nebraska Travelling Mems Club. made the significant statement that unless the Denver Convention incorporattd in it's platform a campaign contribution publicity plank, # might look else where than to Nebraska Tor canol- date for President.
 The declaration was made in con- nection with discussion he indulged in regarding the action of the Repub. lican National Convention in falling to neert such a plank, as he said. "af- ter President Roosevelt and Mir. Taft had both declared themselves in favor of such action," and was made with . sincerity that left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he meant all he said.
 MT. Bryan was the last speaker on the program and did not begin his ad. dress until nearly midnight.
 Few political affairs held in Lincoln have gone further to indicate the pop. ularity of Mr. Bryan as a citizen or his own city and State than the ban- duet given in his honor tonight by the Nebraska Travelling Mems Club at the Auditorium. Tn the gallery were gath cred several hundred people and the scene was enhanced by the presence of a predominance of ladies handscmey ly attired in summer gowns.
 Seated at the banquet tables were about TOO guests representing widely diverteent classes of Nebraslrans with many present from other States.
 Richard L. Metcalfe of Lincoln act. ed as toastuaaster and introduced as the first speaker Alexander Troup of New Haven, Conn. Mir. Troup's sub ject was New England Democracy and early in his adddress he pledged a good majority to William ]. Bryan.
 Other speakers were Congressman ollie James of Kentucky. Senator Gore Of Oklahoma and Augustus Thomas of New York. sas sss "

VANTAGE OF THE FLOODS.

The floods in Montana are respon-
sible for the appearance in Billings Of
several clever vaudeville artists at the
Family theater this week. The per-
formers booked to play here could not
arrive, so Manager Enright inyesu-
gated to see If there were any per.
formers on any Of the delayed trains.
He found some, and made arrange
ments for them to lay over here, as
they could not continue on their
journey.
Hesse and Rairdon, Those Ban
joes," who were bound for San Fran
cisco where they have been booked
on the Orpheum circuit at $3.50 per
week are the feature OF the program.
They play on ibanjoes made by ]. B.
Shaw and each is valued at $175.
There have never been rs clever mu-
steal artists at the Family theater as
