CROWDS GATHER
At FA|Rv|EW

Lincoln. Nob.. Aug 11.-Wllliam
jennings Bryan will be formally noti
fled OF his presidential nomination
tomorrow and Lincoln is already fill
ing up with visitors in advance of
the momentous event. All roads lead
TO Fairview today, where the great
Nebraskan is awaiting I'm all patti
ence the breaking OF the glad news
tomorrow. Scores OF Democratic
leaders are already here and Mr.
Bryan held numerous conferences
today Despite the fact that he is
perhaps the busiest man I'm the coun-
try, however. he finds time to greet
the Nebraska admirers, many of
whom are farmers who have come
with their families to Lincoln to
take part I'm the general jubilation
and to see the man whom they con-
fidently greet as "the next presi-
dent"
While Lincoln, as Il normally Re-
publican city, has not always sup
ported Mr.. Bryan in his presidential
aspirations, the people universally
OF him as n citizen. This pride is to-
day evident i'm the decorations the
flags. banners and Bryan pictures,
which line the streets. Republicans
have Joined with Democrats in thus
honoring Mr.. BRYAN and there are
few business houses and residences
which do not bear some evidence OF
the admiration which the occupants
entertain for Lincoln's most famous
citizen
Every arrangement has been made
for properly entertaining the throngs
which will be here tomorrow to hear
the commoner's speech of acceptance.
The notification ceremonies will take
place at Mr.. Bryan's suburban home,
Fairview, and the stage setting of
the great event will be of a distinc-
lively rural character.
The newspaper men who have
foregathered at Fairview from all
over the land have found quarters in
large tent erected on the grounds.
especially for their convenience. The
news-sleuths of the press have an
able ally in Mr.. Bryan's secretary
Robert f. Rose. a former newspaper
man.
Mr.. Rose was the Associated Press
correspondent assigned to cover Mr..
Bryan's first campaign. After that
battle he became secretary to the
publisher of the Commoner. Now he
is on the job at Fairview doing the
heavy work Mr. Rose himself oc-
cupies a small tent imme diatcly in
the rear of the Bryan residence,
where he sleeps with his boots ON.
