Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July IL
The Nebraska delegation, returning
with triumphant banners after vocifer-
atoms unequalled in political or other
history, having participated riotously
in convention proceedings, did not de-
liver what might properly be called a
cheer at all when IL called on Mr..
Bryan today. Minnesota, however,
having had less call for the exertion of
their lungs at Denver, delivered the full
three as a zeal on Governor Johnson S
promise to support the ticket in every
way possible. In this they were ably
assisted by the North Dakotans, who
came on the same train. The Nebras-
kans, however looked their cheers out
of their tired eyes, soothingly caressing
their strained threats. 1t was to them,
many of them fellow townsmen and
members of either the Lincoln Bryan
club or the Nebraska Travelling Men 5
Bryan club, that Mr.. Bryan made his
only speech of the day.

his companions had come TO Fairview

the new light all Democrats would
stand together against the common
enemy.
