Naming Running-Mate.

Denver. Col. July 1.-THE Bry
managers have at no time snow
anv nervousness over the renew
activities of the "allies, and May
Dahlman, of Omaha, one OF t
BRYAN chiefs, made a very def1n1
statement showing the expectatio
of the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follow
"Mr. Bryan will be nominated
the first ballot.
THE Bryan forces control SO d.
eeations and will have at least tn
many members of the committee {
resolutions and possibly more. III
platform adopted will be in accord
ance with Mr.. Bryan's personal view
and will express his well-known
ideas on all OF the important politi-
cal issues.'
The question Of the selection OF
q candidate on the Democratic ticket
for the Vice-Presidency will not be
determined until after the nomina-
ton of a candidate for the Presi-
dency. This is the desire OF Mr..
Bryan and has been communicated
to the Bryan leaders. Mr.. Bryan
has taken the position that not until
after the lrst position has been filled
can there be a really intelligent Sc
lection for the second place.
This desire on the part of Mr..
Bryan has been received generally
With favor. Most of the delegates
gree that the situation can be sized
ID to better advantage after the first
election is made than before that
vent. The present disposition is
ot only to postpone the selection OF
Vice-Presidential candidate until
fter the nomination for the first
lace, but to adjourn the convention
or a long enough time to permit a
GENERAL exchange of views among
he leaders and to give the Presi-
lential nominee an opportunity to
xpress his preference. Mr.. Bryan
las not hesitated in letting the fact
,e known that IL the nomination for
he Presidency goes to him he will
lesirs to be consulted as to the
hoice of a running-mate.
The following Injunction plank
Irawn by Former Mayor Dunno. OF
chicago, has been given out. 1t was
aid that Mr.. Bryan has requested
Judge DUNES membership on the
resolutions committee, SO it is be-
ieved that his planA represents Mr..
3ryan's views:

o intervene and protect the status
,uo between litisants is unquestioned,

Unless the writ be issued Immediate
" and without notice, and in such
Eases the motion to dissolve such in
Junction should take precedence OF
all other legal business in the court
issuing such Injunction. and shall be
heard and determined before any
other business 10 considered in such
court. In all cases where injunc-
tons are issued, with or without no
lice, an ample bond shall be exacted
Of complainant. sufncient to cover all

fendant shall be entitled to JURY
