BRYAN A HAS-BEEN,
DECLARES JOHNSON
Minnesota Candidate Says Things
About NsbraSkan In
Home State.

William J. Bryan is has-been. His
star reached its zenith some time ago
and when his name goes before the Den
yer convention he will be looking for
votes. The tide always has a limit.
1t continues to swell until that limit
is reached and then it recedes. The
tide of popularity of Mr.. Bryan reach
ed that limit with the adjournment OF
the state convention in Nebraska,
which lauded him and recommended
him for another nomination, and has
been receding ever since.
This is the remarkable statement of
Governor John A. Johnson of Mime
sofa, who is just now opening his
campaign for the Democratic nomina-
ton for president. The governor
passed through Omaha on his
way to Kansas, where he addressed
the Lndsberg school and then pro-
coed to Lynchburg, Va, to take an
active part in his campaign. The
governors attention was called TO an
editorial in the World Herald, the
personal organ of Mr.. Bryan stating
that the Pennsylvania delegation
would be instructed for Mr.. Bryan.
That statement is entirely untrue,
said johnson, and when that Penn
sylvania delegation reaches Denver
they will become surprises for the
Nebraskan. The Democrats of tbs
country have apparently been loyal IL
Mr.. Bryan because there was appar-
emily no other candidate in the field
until recently. Now that there APP
pears to be real contest it is anoth-
er proposition. There is little doubt IL
my mind that the Pennsylvania dele
CATION will vote with New York, and
that is a very fine start-don't you
think so?"

the grand old man of the Democratic
party and many consider him as such
yet, but how long this popularity will
continue is a matter of conjecture
The signs of the time indicate al
ominous and rocky future for him.

Men to Be On Monitor When
Fired at by Big Guns.

Norfolk, Va, April 2O.-The indica-
tons are that men will be aboard the
monitor Florida when that vessel is
made target for the test
of 12inche guns fire, two or
three weeks hence. An observa-
ton tower 60 or 20 feet above
the main deck is being constructed
from the stern of the vessel.
There could be no use for
such a tower, but to OBJ
serve the effects of the fire.
The tower will be large enough to con
tain several men. Their height from
the deck will minimize the danger
which they will run. 1t is possible
that volunteer officers and men will
man the tower. One of the 12,-inch
guns has been taken from the turret
of the monitor and a stub installed in
its place.
A heavy plate of armor has been in
stalled between the other gun and the
stub to prevent injury to the gun, and
bulkhead has been constructed in
the forward part of the vessel so that
should it be struck at or below the
water line the vessel will not sink.
