New York Is Only Doubtful

Democrats Will Push Their

LINCOLN, Neb., July 1S.-New
York is the only state east of the
Appalachian Mountains considered
doubtful by Mr.. Bryan and the Dem
ocratics leaders. Mr.. Bryan has not
said so for publication, but the pro-
gram of campaign which he win sub
nit in person TO the subcommittee OF

mark the middle west and tae Pacific

able bit of strength and political STRAIT
egv from the Democratic forces will
be hurled into the Mississippi Valley,
and Mr.. Bryan surely anticipates an
overturning of the Republican ma
iorities.
There was a big conference of ma
tional committeeman of acknowledged
political astuteness coming over on
the special train from Denver TO Lin
coin.
The result of that conference, which
lit was understood was submitted to
Mr.. Bryan and was found to coincide
with his views, demonstrated to the
Democratic leader a strong chance
for success. These leaders claimed
the solid south for Democracy, added
Oklahoma's seven new electoral votes;
the thirteen from Indiana and three
from Nevada and agreed that Bryan
and Kern cannot receive fewer than
1874 electoral votes as a result or the
November elections
They set down as certain for Tart
every eastern state except New YORK.
New England was conceded in a solid
block, and to this showing they gave
away Michigan and Minnesota from
the central west, dropped Utah, wy
oming and Idaho into the Republican
basket and waived Oregon and Wash
ingtCn for good measure.
Here is what they marked out sor

months: California, Colorado. Hi
