ENDORSE JOHNSON;
BRYAN IS TURNED
DEMOCRATS REFUSE
TO EVEN NAME NEBRASkAN
AS SECOND CHOICE.
BOlTEYS OUTCENERALED
OF Conventon--Fla latterine Tribute
to Governor Marked With
Enthusiasm.

st. Paul. May 14.--Democrats of
Minnesota today formally endorsed
Governor Johnson as the preside ntial
candidate and at the same time, by a
vote Of 772 to lGG, refused to declare
in favor of Brayn as second choice.
Followers of Bryan did not carry
cut theil threat to bolt and hold a
rump convention If their contests
we're defeated before the committee
on credentials, or if they We're not
able to secure a partial endorsement
of their leader.
The Johnson men were generous IN
their victory and declared in their
platform that while they entertained
affection for and confidence in the
integrity and ability of Bryan" they
believed Johnson wah a man better
caculsted to bring success to the
democratic party and was first en-.
titled to the support Of Minnesota.
Having lost nearly all in the ere
dentials committee they reserved
their strength for a fight on the floor
of the convention in favor of having
bryan declared the sole heir to the
votes Of Minnesota in the event OF
any political disaster overtaking
Johnson in the Denver convention.
Two OF the 19 members of the raso-
lutions committee presented a plat
form plank to this effect which they
asked be made IAN addition" to the
platform. 1t was, however consid-
cred as an amendment and the d.
feat of the Bryan faction came about
on motion to substitute the
minority report for that of the ma
inrity.
| Bryan Orator Told to "Shut Up"
The fight ut times waxed warm
While the debate on platform was in
progress, but there was nothing ap-
Iproachlng disorder at any time C.
e. Vasaly, the Bryan orator who
made the leading speech for his side
was, after he had spoken at consider
able length cordially invited by a
Johnson delegate to shut up and
when minute later ne addressed the
convention as my friends" he was
informed that he had talked so long
he had no friends" but beyond this
there were no unpleasant remarks of
fered on either side.
The convention today was a fiat
tering tribute to Governor Johnson.
The enthusiasm for him was un.
bounded and sincere. The final adop-
ton Of the platform formally en-
ldorsed him and instructing Minnesota
| to fight for him at Denver was fol
lowed by n demonstration of enthusi-
astic loyalty, The following deel'

New Mexico Wedding.

Editor Tribune: Your readers will be
interested in an event that recently
took place in Albuquerque, inasmuch as
one Of the parties was until recently
a resident of your state and community.
Mr.. Edward T. Dunn of this city was
married on Wednesday, June Sd to Miss
Nina E. Lamson of San Mateo, New
Mexico. The ceremony took place at
the Alvarado, the principal hotel in the
city, and was performed by Rev, j. H.
Head, Supt. Of the Congregational
Education Society.
Mr.. Dunn came to Albuquerque some
two years ago and has already become
esteemed in the community for his ster-
ling worth. Miss Lamson, the bride,
has been for some years the principal
of the Congregational Education Socie-
ty at San Mateo, New Mexico. She has
devoted herself with rare conservation
and ability to the education Of the chill
dren and youth and to the betterment
of the town. Speaking huently the
language of the native Mexicans, she
has gone about among them as friend
and counsellor. Possessing considera-
BILE medical knowledge, she has doc
tored the sick and saved TIE lives Of
not few. Naturally she has won the
esteem and affection Of the people to a
rare degree. Mr. Dunn is to be con
graduated on having won the affection
Of noble woman.
There is quite little romance con
nected with the marriage Mr.. Dunn
went to San Mateo to build an addition
to the school building He wrought
well, not only for the school building,
but for himself. He left a good build
ing and took away a good wife And
those who know him best say that she
has been equally fortunate.
Yours truly,
J. II. HEAD.
