Nd DEARTH OF CANDIDATES
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Convention Will Nominate Bryan on First

of Nebraskan Rapidly Dying
0ut---The Days Develop
mentS at Denver

DENVER Colo. Puly 6.-For pres
ident of the United States. William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska. For vice
president-but let us not anticipate.
So far as the Nebraskan is con-
cerned it is all over but the shouting.
The convention to be opened tomor-
row by the democracy of the nation is
to he q ratification meeting, not free
for-ap race. The hundreds of dele
gates and thousands of other visitors
assembled here today are practically
unanimous on this point.
few anti-Bryan delegates oc-
cupv forlornly a little island of their
own entirely surrounded by the dash
ing waves of Bryan enthusiasm. Their
voices are drowned in the runbling
roar of the Bryan sea, whose sirens
sing OILY the praises of the Peerless
one. And the wreckage Of this sea is
the blasted hopes and bursted boom
Of joan Johnson, of Minnesota.
And this is how it will come about.
A thousand and odd delegates will
gather in the brand new convention
hall, the pride of chesty Denver, and
after transacting the necessary pre-
liminaries the chairman will announce
that nominations are in order. The roll
of states will be called. When Nebras-
ka is reached. the delegates and
some ten or eleven thousand other
leather unged disciples of democracy
will make the welkin ring with shouts

Then will arise in his place one
Ignatius j. Dunn, city attorney of
Omaha and one of the delegates at
large from Nebraska. In language
carefully and painstakingly selected
from among the very choicest words
in Webster, the orator from the banks
Of the Big Muddy will enumerate the
civic virtues, the lofty craftsmanship
and the great ability of Nebraska's s
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton.
Again the cheers of the delegates
will ring through the hall, spread
throughout the confines of the city
and echo from peak to peak Of the
STOW clad mountains. With the res
toration of parliamentary calm. Gov
ernor Glenn of North Carolina. ia
NOUS throughout the country as the
sworn foe of the demon rum. will
make the first seconding speech.
Afterward the formality Of vote,

orado-nOre of these delegations will
lose any time in climbing into the
Bryan band wagon. Little Delaware,
with it's six votes. will announce for
its favoriate son, Judge George Gray,

silence Governor Johnson, who will
be nominated by Representative Win

BEATEN MAN
NOW IN JAIL
GARDING ATTACK BY SPECIAL
POLICEMAN.

Albert Williams. the man who was
beaten up by Special Policeman j. D.
Stubblefield during the Fourth of July
celebration. is still in the county jail,
and charge of drunk and disorder
ly'' is registered against the man on
the police station blOtter. Williams has
practically recovered from the effects
of the blows of the special policeman,
and will probably be prosecuted on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly.
Owing to the big crowd which wit
messed the occurrence, many conflicting
stories are told of the affair. 1t is ad-
mitted that Williams and the special
policeman had had some difficulty early
in the day when the former, who had
been drinking. called Stubblefield
vile name Later when Williams was
holding some horses for the cavalry
bandsmen and Stubblefield ordered
him to move on, he refused to do so
and an alteration ensued. The ques-
ton of whether or not Williams struck
at the policeman is one on which the
spectators are not agreed. as they like
wise disagree regarding the charge that
Stubblefield struck Williams after he
aad knocked him down. Williams head
bled profusely as result OF the Wig
orous use of the special policeman's
club. and the sight of the blood greatly
excited the big crowd of on-loOkers.
For a moment it looked as if there
might be things done to the special OFF,
Ger.
The extent of Williams injuries were
greatly exaggerated in the rumors
which f1oated throughout the town, and
MANY people were told that the special
policeman had beaten the man 10
death.
No charge has been preferred against
Stubblefeld.

New Jersey. These, however, are
mere details. At Bryan head
quarters. it is alleged that the Ne
braskan will receive in the neigh
borhood of 500 votes on the first bal
lot. That will be plenty, thank you,
since only 672 are required for the ne
cessary twO-thirds to nominate
The Real Business.
With the formality of ratifying the
candidacy Of Bryan out of the way,
the delegates will settle down to the
transaction of the real business of
the convention, that of agreeing upon
a vice-presidential nominee In this
there will come a few skirmshes
The platform makers will have a
difficult time of it in formulating a
statement Of principles. The union
labor leaders are busy and will at
tempt to secure, an tnti-injunction
plank in accordance with their ideas
IN the subject. Both the brewers and
the Anti Saloon league have estab-
lished lobbies ard the temperance
question may be injected into the
convention. The National Good Roads
association will attempt to secure the
insertion of a plank preaching the
gospel of highways Improvement
full meeting of the national or
ganization will be held today. when
many mooted questions will be de-
cided

Aupon to entertain such vast crowds as
are in the city today, and as specia!
trains are still pouring thousands into
the city this morning. it is feared that
the hostelries of the city will prove
inadequate for their proper entertain
ment. Many Of the parties, however,
will sleep in Pullman cars.
The decorations of the city are of
an elaborate nature and have ELECTED
the praise of all the delegates and Wis
itors Bunting and flags have been
freely used on all the principal streets
and thousands of electric lights have
been strung feature which is at
tracing much attention is a royal til
ger, of papier mache, erected at the
principal street corner Of the city.
The great auditorium, which will
scat 12,5OO people, with standing room
for many more. is fully completed ard

convention tomorrow. The committee
in charge has decided to prohibit the
use or sale of any variety of intoXi-
Cants within the hall and those afflict-
ed with chronic thirst will be forced

Guffey Is Successful.

bolt by the Kerr contestants elected
Colonel Guffey as chairman of the del

LEAGUE TEAM \
MAY Be D|SBANDED
LACK OF SUPPORT HAS PROBABLY
KILLED LOCAL BASE
BALL.

Owing to the somewhat limited pat
ronage of the baseball games in this
city during the last three weeks, 1t Is
doubtful if there will be any more
league ball here this year. Yesterdays
game was witnessed by some 80 or 40
people. and games before have been
played to smaller crowds. A thinning
game brought out but about so people.
Although there can be nothing denn1te
learned about the future OF the lea/1e
as far as this is concerned. it Is hardly
prohable that il will be continued.

FOR DEFENSE Of
PACIFIC COAST
PLANK WILL PROBABLY BE IN.
SERTED IN DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM.

United Press.)
DENVER, Colo July eff the Paci-
fic coast delegations work hard enough
for it there is good chance for a
coast defense plank in the democratic
platform.
Naturally, democratic leaders realize
that such move would be good poll
tics, because of the rundown the Pa
cific coast defense measure received
at the Chicago convention.
Mayor Dahlman said: Il am for Pa
cific coast defense; | am going to talk
it and work for it. If the coast delega-
tiOns are behind me we will do busi-
ness.
Il will advocate that fleet be kept
in Pacific. If another fleet is needed in
the Atlantic we ought to build one, but
not take ships from the Pacific"
There will be no effort made by the
Pacific coast delegations favoring an
injunction plank. The delega
tiOns are willing to discuss Japanese
exclusion which stands no chance of

The majOrity of the California and
Washington delegates say there ought
to be some change in the injunction
procedure, but insist that this should
be a conservative change.
The Washington delegation is out
strong for safe and sane anti-injunc-
ton plank.
Thomas ]. Casey, of Seattle. secre-
tary of the Bryan volunteers, is fight
ing for the plank that labor wants.
Casey says Charles G. Heifner, a
member of the Washington delegation
and a Seattle politician is working
hard against labor interests. Heifner
says he is out for a modified plank,
but does not want the power of in-
junction entirely destroyed.

presidency is that of Frank X. Lane,

Bryan In Control.
The Bryan managers have at no
time shown any nervousness over the
renewed activities of the "allies" and
today Major Dahlman of Omaha. one
of the Bryan chiefs, made a very def
mite statement showing the expecta-
tiOrs of the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follows:
Mr. Bryan will be nominated on the
first ballot
THE Bryan forces now control SO
states and will have at least that many
members of the committee on resolu-
tiOns and possibly more. The platform
adopted will be in accordance with
Mr. Bryar's personal views and will
express his well known ideas on all
of the important political issues.
Governor Charles ~ Haskell of Ok

candidate for the Craftsmanship of

there are many other prominent men
being mentioned for the place. 1t is
needless to say that loyal Bryan man
will be chosen.
