Democratic ticKe' Speaking of thj situation. Mir. Kern said:
 "I have told Mr. Bryan that condi tions are mere than favorable. and while it Is too early to make predic. tions it would seem to me that from reports received from the most con. servative sources that if every Demo. crat would lend his aid in this cam. paign, as I believe he will. the na. tional ticket will be elected. This much l feel, that Indiana is safely ir the Democratic column. and. while I was only few days in Iowa. I have learned sufficient to make me believe that Iowa is an extremely doubtful state. No defined plans have been made for my speaking tour. and it is unlikely that l will go on the stump until after my notification"
 In addition to numerous members of the notification committee. hundreds of persons went to Fairview to pay their respects to Mir. Bryan. Among these was delegation of farmers from Republic county, Kan, who informed MT. Bryan that a. whole trainload of thelr ne1ghbors would arrive today.
 Representative Clayton, chairman of the notification committee, visited MT. Bryan and read his speech of notifi- cation. After Mir. Bryan read his ac- ceptance speech MT. Clayton was high ly delighted. Tt is a mighty strong document" he declared. "and so mrch more decided and original than Tafts that there is no comparison. Bryan Is his own man, and Taft Is another mans man, and the two speeches show it." MT. Clayton's own speech con- tains TOO words.
 MT. Bryan agreed to a plan to or ganize the southern vote in northern states. It is estimated that there are 100000 southern votes in New York state alone. There is a heavy south ern vote in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
