William e. Gonzales. editor Of the
State, Columbia, S. c., one Of Bryan's
lieutenants, after a visit with Bryan
and Kern today said:
,sThe statement that Bryan will not
make a canvass Is incorrect. 1t Is
his present purpose, however, to deliver
no platform speeches, but to make ten
or a dozen political addresses. dealing
with the more vital issues as presented
in the platform. Kern will make
more continuous campaign, and it was
assured in Denver that Towne Will be
no less active than II he had been the
vice presidential nominee"
Gonzales said that campaign contrt-
buttons would be invited by the news
papers in his state and he believed
every democrat paper in the south
would do likewise.

notified at Indianapolis at date to

Bryan Still Dictates.
The scene at the Bryan home when
the committee arrived was pictur-
esque one. A large number of the Ne
braskan's neighbors had gathered early
on the lawn surrounding the houses
and prepared to assist the distin-
guished visitors. Bryan stood In the
doorway and personally greeted the
members OF the committee as they
passed into the parlor. When all had
assembled on the lawn Bryan read
statement on behalf of himself and
Kern, in which he quoted the plank
OF the platform pledging the party to
the enactment of law prohibiting
contributing to a cam
paign fund, and said both he and Kern
were in hearty sympathy with the
pledge. He then suggested the outline
Of the resolutions which the committee
adopted, the substance
Of which is stated above. Another
resolution adopted requests democrats
all over the country to organize them
selves Immediately into democratic
clubs, to assist the committee in the
work Of the coming campaign.
