vention, all minor matters disposed
of, and the full evening before it, the
National Democratic Convention as
sembled today at noon to go through
the formal routine of adopting the
platform and nominating candidates
for President and Vice President.
Unless an unexpected fight occurs
over the adoption of the platform, the
nomination of a candidate for Presl-
dent will take place this afternoon.
The anti-Bryan men held several in
formal conferences this morning and
1t is understood that it was decided to
contest vigorously every inch of
ground on the floor of the convention.

Bryan has enough votes to swing his
nomination on the first ballot.
But the opposition is still confident
that he will fail to land and that a
deadlock will follow.
Delegates and spectators are anxious
for the battle, which promises to fur
nish more genuine thrills than any
convention in recent years

of the classes usually regarded as I'M
desirable, and in favor of the pres
ervation of the Anglo Saxon blood and

ferred to, and it was pointed out as
an urgent necessity that some action
be taken to restrict It,

be imposed. chat a money qualifica-
ton be required. and that the Nation
al immigration Bureau be abolished.
