cago between the friends of Robert f.
Burke and Roger c. Sullivan-came
to the front with the, visit of the
Cook county democracy though only
in n veiled way.
The weather throughout was ideal
although late in the afternoon the
heat became somewhat oppressive

Mr.. Bryan remarked to members OF
the Chicago party who were standing
respectfully hat in hand: "Those OF
you who are bald as / am win find II
more comfortable with your hats on
said he and his lead was followed by
large number.
Political events of the day, if there
were any. were not obvious. Mayor
johnson, Of Cleveland, whose position
as national committeeman for Ohio Is
threatened by Harvey CARRIER, came
early and stayed late In an endeavoI
to have thorough understanding with
the democratic leader. At noon he
was chewing straw and exchanging
gossip on the laws with members OF
AilC val iOuS hNltBdliOiiS WHICH, MttN
claiming Mr.. Bryan's time to the ex-
clusion Of other matters of greater
importance to party leaders. Mr.. John
son refused to talk to newspaper men
until he had talk with his host He
does not want to be chairman of the
national committee, nor does he look
with favor upon an attempt to run him
In second place on the ticket.
1t is known, though not from the
lips Of the Ohioans, that his govern
ment ownership and initiative and
referendum planks will not find favor
with Mr.. Bryan.
Another democrat who waited long
for a talk with the Nebraskan was
Judge William Prentiss, who desired
to. enlist Bryan's sympathy for the
contesting delegation from Cook coun-
ty (Chicago). Judge Prentiss shared
the opinion of Judge w. Tomlinson, of
Alabama (who will succeed Congress
man Clayton as national committee
man), that William r. Hearst will be
compelled to be consistent, to support
MIR. Bryan with the Independent
league Mr.. Hearst has demanded GER
tain political reforms and he cannot
with political safety deny the one man

and the New York publish

Hearst is regarded as evidence OF
at least tentative step toward re-

gates from New York, were inclined
to this view.
1t was o'clock before the last dele
cation had departed from Fairview
The Jackson club of Omaha and a
delegation of forty-fve persons from
Massachusetts followed the Cook coun-
ty democracy but they stayed only a
few minutes.
Mr.. Bryan shook hands with each
one. All told eight states. Alabama,
North Carolina. Florida, Mississippi
Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Masacshu-
sets and Vermont. and two cities
Chicago and Omaha, paid their re-
spects to Mr.. Bryan today.
Tonight the special trains on which
they came are bearing them rapidly to
Denver.
In talking to the callers from
Massachusetts and Vermont, Mr.
Bryan said: "T believe that the fig
ures show that when the roll is called
at the Denver convention, we will have
more than three-fourths. If not four
ilfths Of all the New England dele
gates on the first ballot. We have q
two-thirds rule In our convention but
II New England presented the only
delegates in the convention we could
carry the nomination under the two
thirds rule"
Mr.. Bryan was happy in his remarks
to the Oklahomans. In the course
of his talk he said:
Politically | suppose l am nearer
akin to Oklahoma than to any other
state in the union. and l can say that
without hurting the feelings of any
body in Nebraska. Even the Nebraska
democrats will tell and republicans
will not deny that Oklhoma and are
nearer together on political questions
than are Nebraska and |. You have
done me the honor to accept advice
that have given and on one question
that believe will be in the convention
this year, you are going to render
an important service. Oklahoma Is
the first state to attempt the protec-
tion of the depositors in the United
States and about twenty thousand
banks In Oklohoma took the side OF
the deDositors In so far as there was a
conflict, and yet as In all such ques-
tlons the dangers have been shown to
be less than they appear. the disad-
vantages have been proved to be mol
so great as had been thought and the
advantages greater than we had imag-
ined. Your experience In Oklahoma
shows that you have protected your
depostors and you have helped their
hanks while you have helped the de.
positors. for you have shown that the
advantage that the banks receive by
the building up Of confidence out
weighs any burden that is placed up
on them by the small tax that goes
