Lincoln, Neb., July 10.-William
Jennings Bryan heard the news of his
third nomination. for the presidency
on the democratic ticket on his spac-
ious front porch at his Fairview home
with Mrs. Bryan and his daughter
Grace. A few personal friends and a
dozen newspaper correspondents were
with him during the long vigil

graph wires connected the auditorium
with the Bryan home and a steady
stream of bulletins denoting the pro-
gress Of the convention were receiv-
ed. At 4:35 came the bulletin an
nouncing the completion of the roll
call and the nomination.
After congratulations by his guests,
Bryan retired to his library and dictat-
ed a statement and gave 1t to the
press as follows: The presidency
is the highest official position in the
world and no one occupying it can
afford to have his view upon public
questions biased by personal ambi-
ton. Recognizing his responsibility
to God and his obligations to his
countrymen. he should enter upon the
discharge of his duties with single
ness of purpose, believing that one
can best do this when he is not plan

the following verbal statement. This

WHILE PUSHING PROSECUTION
AGAINST THOSE WHICH STRAY

Today Secretary L. E. Browne of the
Richmond Home Telephone company
received the resignation of A. c. Lin
demuth as president of the company
Mr.. Lindemuth in a letter which ac-
companied his resignation confirmed
the report sent out from Chicago yes

however that he had been appointed
general counsel of the association and
that he would continue to make Chica-

this action will be taken.
The resignation of Mr.. Linde.

reported from Chicago that he had re

It Was Not Until a Late Hour
That This Body of Men
Kook Its Place to Make Re-
port.
CONVENTION WAS NERVOUS
NOMINATING SPEAKERS AND
THOSE SEcoNDING NoMINA-
TIoNs WERE OFTEN TIMES
HOOTED BY CROWD.

Denver, July lot was a strenuous
session, the one which was set for sew
en- O'Clock last night. and which result
ed in the overwhelming triumph for
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska.
He was named on the first ballot as
the standard bearer of democracy this
campaign When the time was set,
dt was expected that the platform COM
anittee would be ready to report at Z
o'clock. 1t was not and it was not
for nearly an hour after the time set
that the convention was raped to or
der. In the meantime the crowd.
both delegates and people in the gal
aery was in for good time. AS they
all realized, however. that the real
work of the convention was about to
be done there was an air of sup
Npressed excitement, which vented itself
in cheers and songs and on the part of
some, almost hysterical cheering.

0utfey Out Of Il.
Tho business Of the session las,
might was begun by the announcement
from Chairman McQuestion Of the
definite end to the activities Of Col
Iames NJ. Guffey. so far as he being &

q committee of three was sent to fine
out when the committee on resolu
tions would be ready to report. II
the meantime a number of orators
were given chance to get rid o
some Of their oratory and keep the au
dience in good humor.
Thomas H. Ball of Texas, Senate
Grady OF New York. Chas. NJ. Wade o
Iowa, and Champ Clark of Missouri
were the orators and all of them spok
with power and effect.
Finally the committee returned Will
the information that the platform
would not be ready until midnight.
A motion was made to suspend tn
rules and go into the nomination o
candidates for the presidency, witt
provisions that no vote should be TAX

short speeches and then came one OF
the best speeches of the lot. Indiana
yielded to Kentucky and Congressman
Ollie James took the stand. The big
Kentuckian is popular. He is good
speaker to such a crowd. He thinks
Bryan is the greatest man that ever
lived and he don't care who knows 1t.
AS the convention thinks the same
way, he soon had the whole crowd
cheering almost continually. He was
given the finest spontaneous sample
of enthusiasm when he concluded, de-
spite cries of go on, Go on" that has
been seen here. outside of the Bryan
demonstration
James for Second Place.
AS he went to his seat more than
once the remark was heard that
speech is likely to put James up for
second place on the ticket
J. B. Sullivan of Iowa and S. l..
Gilmore of Louisiana had a hard time
making a few brief remarks and J. A.
Reed of Kansas City who was named
by Missouri to second the nomination
of Bryan as a real citizen Of Missouri.
The crowd, most particularly the gal
leries started into guy and shout down
Mr.. Reed, but the Missourian was
cool as a cucumber and quick as a
flash. He gave as he got and soon
had the bulk of the crowd with him.
While he did not say all he wanted to
say. he got in pretty good speech.
New York had nothing to say and
New Jersey seconded Gray briefly.
Nebraska gave way to Congressman
Heflin of Alabama and this states
man had a hard row of stumDs to
hoe as his fellow Alabamaians would
put it. The guying began with his
first sentence and continued until he
finished. Heflin made his speech,
Judging from gestures. but only he
behind him heard it.
Gore is Magnetic.
When Oklahoma was reached, Sena-
tor Gore went to the stand to tell how
much the new state wanted Bryan.
1t is wonderful the hold this blind
man has on the great crowds which
fill the auditorium. Previous speak
ers had been guyed to a point of in
suit. Although they all wanted to
say good word for Bryan. the crowd
would have none of it or at least not
more than they could help. The min
ute Gore was led to the platform the
noise was Gained as by ma&ic and
it was only on his own volition and re.
spite cries to continue, that he ceased
speaking.
All For Bryan.
From then on to the end it was q
succession of announcements from
| the states that they were solid for
Bryan. Then came roll call. There
never was any doubt about 1t. but
this was taken to make sire. Bryan
got the vote in every state by three
Delaware. Minnesota and New Jersey
In only two other states did he fail to
get a majority of the delegation
Georgia and Maryland. He got all
votes in AZ states and territories.
! Was a Great Victory.
It was the most overwhelming vic
tory ever gained in a national conven
tion where there was semblance OF
contest. 1t was the vote Of Pennsyl
vania which gave Bryan the neces
sary two-thirds vote. When that state
was called. he was AZ votes shy oi
nomination. He received 491h votes
in Pennsylvania, two and one-hall
votes more than needed.

took the stand to place Bryan in nomi-
nation. He is a fine speaker and had
the crowd with him at the start. He
reached the climax Of his speech when
he placed in nomination, Nebraska's s
gifted son, William Jennings-that was
as far as he got, for before he could
sound out Bryan's name, the whole au
ditorium went wild and for just one
hour and fourteen minutes pandemo-
mum reigned in the convention hall.
It was the usual convention demon
stration with much more than the u.s.
