MINNESOTA WILL
 NOT HURT BRYAN
Democrats Discuss Action of
 State Committee
HE WILL BE NOMINATED
Senator Owen Says It Was Natural For Governor Johnson's State To lndorse the Governor For
 the Presidency.

Washington, March S.-(Speclal)-None of the democratic senators regard the action of the Minnesota democratic con- vention in indorsinG Governor Johnson as a serious blow to the prospects of William J. Bryan's nomination for the presidency in Denver next July.
 Senator Culberson said: T regard tho nomination of MT. Bryan in Denver as in evitable. do not believe any combination that can be perfected will prove strong enough to stop it."
 Senator Tillman of South Carolina said: q am satisfied that the democrats in my state are for MT. Bryan, and from what hear from other senators and party lead CTS I am satisfied that the demand for Bryan's nomination is as strong as ever it was. do not think the action of the democrats of Minnesota will have any ef- feet upon the situation" Senator Daniels of Virginia refused to discuss the ques- tion. It will be recalled, however. that Senator Daniels denounced MT. Bryan publicly and charged him with undertal1- ing to set himself up as dictator of the party, and the latter declined to dine with him in the home of Senator New lands until a pledge had been given that politics would not be discussed at the dinner.
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma is convinced that MT. Bryan will be nominated.
 Senator Owen of Oklahoma said: Tt Is very natural that a man as popular in his own state al Governor Johnson should be indorsed. 1t will have no effect on the situation, however, for Bryan will be nominated anyway"
 Representative Smith of Texas declared that Bryan would be nominated. John sons indorsement will have no effect Texas will stand for Bryan as long as there is a chance to nominate him. In any other event it would be for Senator CulbeTson."
 Representative Garner of Texas said: Ut is natural that the democrats in republican state like Minnesota should indorse him for the presidency. As for the indorsement side-traclking Bryan, it is the purest nonsense. He will be nomi- mated without question:"
 Senator McLaurin of Mississippi said: 'The action of the Minnesota state con- vention in indorsing Governor Johnson will have no effect whatever"
