WIN D0 IT6dtGu or
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1O.-The Dem
ocratic campaign text book will not
deal as mentally with Roosevelt as
has the Democratic candidate so far.
The committee named to edit that
publication, John e. Lamb of Indiana,
Josephus Daniels of North Carolina,
and Richard l.. Metcalf, editor of the
Commoner, meets here tomorrow and
Mr., Metcalf, with some suggestions
from Bryan. has a mass of matter
ready for the committee to pass upon
One of the things most emphasized
will be the failure of the Roosevelt
| administration to get what it went af-
ter and made the most noise about
A complication of extracts from
Roosevelt's message will be made to
show precisely what reforms he has
urged and in parallel columns will be
shown what congress did to them. 1t
| is also proposed in addition to the
usual matter relating to the platform,
! speeches of acceptance and the like,
| to devote separate chapters to showing
| how prices have mounted under trust
! controlled markets, the selling of
| goods cheaper abroad than at home
| because Of tariff protected monopoly
on guaranteed bank deposits
Taft's record on labor injunctiOns
and the various other topics of vital
| interest will be dealt with.
Members of the committee say that
their chief task will be to boil down
into the 300 pages they propose limit
ing the book to, all the material the
Republicans have given them to work
on. This will be the committees first
meeting and it will possibly last all
! day. Another important meeting
slated for tomorrow is the cOnsulta-
tion by Bryan and Chairman Mack
and the members of the national ex-
! ecutive committee. who are coming
| to the notification, and desire to have
a talk with Bryan upon the general
aspect and the conduct of the cam
paign. Chairman Clayton of the noti-
ficatiOn committee, held two confer
ences today with Bryan. He was a
guest over night at Fairview. Clay
ton says his notification speech will
be model for brevity, being only
about seven hundred words in length.
He will accompany it by presenting
Mr.. Bryan with a formal letter of no.
tifcation about $50 words long.
Mr.. Bryan stated that his tariff
| - hn of
on August 81, has been completed
and sent to the printer. He has start
ed the preparation Of his speech on
the trust question which will be Civ
en- at Indianapolis on the occasion of
Kern's vice presidential notification,
August 20.
Asked for his views on the result
CT the primary elections held recently
in some of the western states Mr..
Bryan said:
mo matter what the results Of the
primaries are, if the people secure
what they want-that is the best we
can hope for"
Bryan also paid this compliment to
Adlai Stephenson:
while l take no part in the con-
tests, between Democrats before con-
ventions or primaries, am sure | will
be pardoned in this case If l say that
while we had a number of worthy
Democrats aspiring to the governor
ship in Illinois, no one among them
was superior In his qualifications to
Mr.. Stephenson. I believe he will
make a very strong candidate and will
greatly aid the national ticket"
The advance guard of visitors for
Notification Day are arriving and the
citizens have begun decorating blocks
and houses. One noticeable is on the
Burr block, owned by a lawyer and
lifelong Republican. He is for Bry-
an this year and the Democratic can
didates' pictures fill every nook and
Granny of the side and front of the
| block.
Henry George, Jr., was closeted
with Bryan for an hour this after
noon. He has been filling Chautau-
qua dates in Nebraska and Kansas
for the last six weeks, and says there
is a strong trend towards Bryan,
many Republicans openly stating
their intention to vote for him.
Five hundred visitors to the Meth
odist ChsutauQua called on Mr.. Bryan
this afternoon. He stopped work on
writing a speech to make one to them,
which he said was his first and only
Chautauqua speech this year. His
remarks we're largely devoted to laud-
