BRYAN GIVES UP
EDITORIAL CHAIR
Democratic Nominee Announces
That Profits of Paper Will

North Carolina Committeeman
Assures Nebraskan He
Will Garry South

LINCOLN, Neb., July ga steady
stream of visitors at Fairview kept
Wllllam j. Bryan on the qut yive until
late tonight. They began coming early
In the morning and included returning
delegates to the Denver convention, pol
1ticians, representatives of negro
Bryan and Kern club, members of the
local order of Maccabees and many 9TH
ers who came out merely to pay their
respects.
Bryan has relinquished the position
of editor of the Commoner, signed
letter in the paper announcing today
that his candidacy for the presidency
made 1T necessary for him to take such
action. Bryan also announced that as
personal campaign contribution the
profits of the Commoner, over and above
actual running expenses, will be turned
over to the democratic campaign fund
Probably the most important visitor
was Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, n. c.,
proprietor of the News and Observer,
national committeeman and member OF
the subcommittee of IL to select a
chairman and other officers of the COM
mittee. His friendship and political
judgment are highly priced by Bryan
and for that reason he was summoned
here for a conference on the political
situation in the southern states.
Daniels assured the democratic NOM
inee that the south would be solidly for
him despite the claims alleged to ema-
nate from republican sources that they
would carry North Carolina, Virginia
and Georgia.
A delegation of local negroes, hereto
fore stanch republicans, called to pledge
their active support to the democratic
ticket. Bryan urged them to keep In
touch with their colored brethren
throughout the country and work har-
moniously toward democratic success.
