of linen from American flax. The next

Minneapolis, May 8 Bryan will
control the Minnesota democratic con-
vention by $50 majority, according to
statement given out today by the

Hearst men of four years ago are now
active in the Bryan movement, and

more complete and thorough than
theirs of four years ago, which car
ried the state.
The Bryan men have been holding
weekly meetings since the meeting of
the state committee and have more
than 1000 democrats enlisted in this
state organization. A large amount of
Bryan literature has been distributed
over the state. and in some cases con-
fidential men have visited different
parts of the state to assist in organi-
cation work. This has resulted in the
accumulation of a mass of informa-
ton which was submitted to the ex-
ecutive committee of the organization
a day or so ago The details of the
conditions arrived at by the committee
are not given out, but Secretary Pike
was authorized by the executive COM
mittee to make public the result,
which shows that the Bryan men
would have at least $50 majority in
the state convention"

kept in a dark room where each day
was permitted to grow a degree ligh-
ter until it was light as day. Then
she had to put on glasses, which she
will be always compelled to wear.
