Recalling what little opportunity he had in

Pops viii Fight
William ]. Bryan
Mig Convention
Associated Press.

st. Louis, April 1.-Friends of
William Jennings Bryan today made
an earnest effort to influence in his
favor the action of the Populist ma
tional convention, which meets here
tomorrow.
A majority of the members of the
Peoples Party and the various re-
form elements that will participate in
the convention rebuffed the Bryan
people at every turn. They also re-
fused to classify Bryan as anything
but Democrat, who has no right to
participate in the councils of the
Populist party or to receive consid-
Grafton at its hands.
\ The Bryanites will carry the fight
into the convention as a last resort.
Their demand today was for a post
ponement of tomorrow's convention.
They declare 1t to be the part of wis
dom to await the action of the Re-
publican and Democratic conventions
before placing a ticket in the field
They admit that they are in the min
ority as compared with the Watson
men, but claim to have a letter from
Tom Watson himself, in which he ex,
presses the opinion that 1t is unwise
to hold the convention at so early a
date.

Too Much for "Uncie joe"

BY the side of a certain Illinois
suburban railway stands a fertilizer
factory which gives out a particularly
offensive smell. A lady who frequent
ly has occasion to travel on this line
always carries with her a bottle of
lavender smelling salts. One morning
Speaker Cannon took the seat beside
her. AS the train neared the factory,
the lady opened her bottle of salts.
Soon the car was filled with the horri-
BILE odor of the fertilizer, The speak
er stood it as long as he could, then
addressing himself to the lady, whom
he saw holding the bottle to her nose,
he said Madam, would you mind
putting the cork in that bottle?"
