II am in somewhat OF an embarrassing
position this afternoon continued Mr..
Bryan. II have not been notified Of my
nomination and Il would not be proper
for me to enter into a discussion OF the
questions involved in this campaign until
the platform has been presented to me and
/ have been officially notified. I can say
in confidence, however, with the under
standing that the newspaper men will say
nothing. that, from what Information I
have been able to gather, the platform Is
a good one. l may go even farther and
say that l have made a hasty examina-
ton OF that document and II there is any
thing bad in it / nave not discovered 1t as
yet, and II anything good has been left
out it has not been brought to my notice.
l think I will be prepared TO accept the
nomination when | am officially notified
Of the fact, without celebration.
Il intend from time to time to receive
reports from every section Of the coun
try. indeed. / have already received some
reports, and they all go to show that the
democratic party is more united now than
It has been in any time in the last twelve
years. This in itself is a good omen, for

to having a majority, IL not. in fact, a
positive majority. so when we have a
united party We are a long way on the
road to victory.
The republican party has a larger load
to carry than ever before. with enormous
appropriations a large deficit, and a per-
sonal and private panic all its own which
It can lay to no one else, the republican
party must shoulder many difficulties this
time. 1t also has other things to suffer
from, and the arguments that party has
been making from time to time must now
be answered. Truly. the republican party
has many things to answer for.
1.-THE time has come for me to go, but
/ will be with you again on Monday night
when 1 am to be initiated into the Ak-Sar-
Ben"
Mr.. Bryan then grabbed the coat tails
Of a big policeman who managed to push
his way through the crowd to the train
and the candidate climbed on board just
as II began to move out.
Mr.. Bryan came in on the Burlington
train at $50 last evening and was met
by a large crowd of democrats, many
women being in the throng which packed
the station platform. Mayor Dahlman was
first to reach the rear platform where the
sage Of Fairview was standing hat in hand
ready to bow and smile to the cohorts. The
mayor told him that he was billed to make
a short talk to the people.
But l can't. / haven't been notified
yet" replied Mr.. Bryan.
Cant help that" said Jim, and he held
w his arms and the presidential candidate
vaulted over the railing to the platform
Then with a policeman and the mayor as
full back and a couple of newspaper mer
acting as right and left guard, football
center rush tactics were adopted and Mr.
Bryan was pushed, breathless. to a truci
in the center Of the crowd where the speech
was made.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 26.-(Special Telesram.).-
notwithstanding the fact one of Mayor
Jim's friends said the mayor was getting
cold feet and was liable to drop out OF the
race for governor, A. c. Shallenberger and
w. d. Oldham stayed in town all day yes
terday, following the meeting of the state
committee of the day before. So far as
learned, their only reason for staying was
to get Mr.. Bryan III the notion of calling
the mayor off.
Eith,r Mayor Jim or Mr.. Shallenberger
will 1t Judge Oldham, so the judge said.
But the pins have not been firmly set to
sidetrack either of them.
II shall quit after the primary said
Tom Allen, chairman OF the democratic
state committee. II have too much work
to do to continue at the head OF the COM
mittee. and l can do Just as much good for
the ticket as a private in the ranks"
II is said the real reason why Mr.. Allen
tried to quit the job the other night and
intends 10 quit it later is because he does
not want to embarrass his brother-in-law
Prominent democrats say IL Allen contin
ues chairman his railroad letters will be
brought out again; his $4,000 touch will be
exploited, and several other matters OF
more or less Importance. Mr.. Allen is going
out under fire, but he is tired of hearing
that he is a milestone around the neck OF
Mr.. Bryan.

the republican party of this state desires
him to again be its candidate. In a state
ment made public tonight the governor
50 declared himself and defined the
reasons which he says are responsible
for the action he has just taken. The
statement is intended as a reply to the
many inquiries received by the governor
regarding his attitude toward a renomina-
ton. He says the personal reason which
prompted him to say privately some time
ago that he did not desire a renomina-
ton are not controlling, and that il re-
nominated / ought to accept"
The governors statement is as follows:
l have received so many inquiries in
regard TO my attitude toward a renom-
nation, that have DECIDED to make the
following statement; Some time ago l

not undertake to serve a second term.

convinced that I have no right to re-
gard these reasons as controlling. and that
II renominated | ought to accept.
But it is my desire that the will of
the party to which / belong should be
freely expressed and that il shall take
such action as shall be most closely in
accord with public sentiment. / believe
that the people thoroughly understand
the principles winch L nave sought TO
apply i'm administration, and II they so
desire l shall regard IL as a privilege and
a duty TO continue In office for another
term. r.
Outside OF the statement the governor de-
clined to make any further mmen for
quotation, but made it clear that he re-
CARDS the policies he has pursued since
he assumed office on January 1, 1907, as
a cause which should be continued. As
ms is sponsor for them many of the, gov
ernor's friends have expressed the opinion
in letters to him that they can be CARED
out better If he is elected for another
term.
It is known that the governor feels
that he believes he has fulfilled his
promises made in his telegram to the
republican state convention that his ad-
minIstrauOn would be free from bossism
and not conducted for any private inter-
ests.
In making the announcement the COVER
