NEGRO QUESTION MAY.
 COME TO THE FRONT.

garding the writ of injunction in la Dor disputes which continues the cru- cial point of discussion, Mir: Bryan is adhering to the lines laid down in the Nebraska platform requiring notice to defendants and hearing by the courts requiring that injunction trials shall
 be conducted by some judge other than the author of the writ. and permitting l jurors in certain cases. But there are already suggestions of compromise. The conservatives are especially hold ing out against tae sweeping require ment for notice and many of MT. Bry- ans best friends are Inclined to be of the opinion that his views would carry the convention farther than It possibly could go on this point.
 Many notifications have already been suggested and 1t is known that some of these have been brought to the. atten- ton of the Nebraskan. The latest of these suggestions look to q change in the notice clause so as to permit the issuance of injunction swrits in labor controversies in cases of great emer- gsncy. but requiring that time limit be fixed and providing for notice and hearing of the subject to the courts. It Is very evident that If some modi- hcatton is not to be obtained, the plank will be bitterly fought In committee
 and probably on the floor of the con- 1 vention.
 The arrival today of N. W. Kern of
 Indiana marked the coming of the | second of the vice-presidential caudi- I dates. Mir. Towne being the first. Mir. I kern's candidacy has received much I attention and Chairman Taggart of the I National Committee. contends that his
 nomination is among the strong prob abilities.

His friends outside of New York appreci- ate. however. that much will depend upon his getting the full support of
 the delegation from that State. If
 New York crystalizes for him he will 1 be formidable as a candidate in case it becomes evident that Judge Gray will decline If nominated.
 AssuEanees Of Support
 Since his arrival Mir. Towne has re-
 cetyed number of assurances of sup- | port from New York delegates. With
 the exception of Burton Harrison he is | now practically the only New York | candidate. as Mr. Stanchtield. like Mir i. | Chanler, seems to have been cilminat- I cd from the running.

 franchise departure has operated 'ad- l vantageously in this State.
