YER Discussing this In special
article from Denver to the Chicago
Examiner, William H. Culver says;
Denver, June 29--Bryan and Sulli-
van is to be the Democratic national
ticket, according to a new boom got
here from Iowa today, The Sullivan
is not to be Roger g., the boss OF
Illinois, however, If Iowa has anything
to say about jeremiah V, of that
name, who run for governor couple
of years ago, is the favorite son OF
Mr.. Bryan's adjoining state,
| National Committeeman Martin j.
Wade of Iowa, brought the Sullivan
! boom to Denver. And SO far 1t Is the
biggest boom that has shown itself
above the sky line of Arapahoe
county. (Arapahoe county, 1t should

jeremiah B. Is expected to he his
own chief boomer. He is, unless Judge
4 Wade misses his guess, to carry the
convention off it's feet with storm OF
oratory and win his place on the
4 ticket Just as Mr.. Bryan first got into
the running twelve years ago. The
Iowa orator is to second the nominal
ton of Mr.. Bryan, and the public may
take it from Judge Wade that when
he has finished he will make young
Dunno of Omaha, who is to make the
nominating speech, wish that he had
never tackled the job.
It's to be Real Grafton.
1t is Judge Wade's honest opinion
or at least he says 1t is--that jeremiah
b. is to deliver an Grafton that viii
send the names of Sullivan and Iowa
laundering down the corridors Of time
irrevocably linked, and to live forever
And with such an oratorical delight al
that coming, is it any wonder the goot
