TICKET BRYAN AND CHANLER
Norman r. Mack of New York Believes
That il the Best Democrats
Can DO,
Bryan Of Nebraska and Chamber Of New

Bryan Of Nebraska and Chanler OF New
York.
This will be the democratic national
ticket, according to Norman z. Mack,
editor of the Buffalo Times and national
Committeeman from New York, who with
his wife. spent Tuesday night In Omaha
enroute to Lincoln where they spend today
the guests of Bryan Mr.. Mack talked
freely of democratic plans and hopes and
says he Is confident that his party Will
win.
The nomination Of Sherman by the
republicans makes It advisable for us to
also choose a New Yorker for vice presi-
dent. and I therefore think thai Lieutenant
Governor Chanler Of our state will be in
all likelihood be nominated" said Mr..
Mack. FORMER Governor Douglas OF
Massachusetts is also a figure, much more
30 than Sullivan. Johnson Mitchell, Gray
or any Of the other possibilities, but Chan
Ter is the man for the place. He is by
far a stronger man than Sherman and
the democrats will carry New York by
100000 majority.
Bryan will of course be nominated, and.
I think, by reclamation. l very much
doubt II any other name will be presented.
Yes, of course Bryan will be elected, he
is stronger than he was in 1896 or in 1907"
Asked what would be the paramount
issue of the unterrifled this year. the
New York committeeman replied that they
will have three tails to their Kite, though
none of them will be free silver, anti-im-
perialism or government ownership OF
railroads.
THE democratic pnr.y will declare for
immediate revision q tae tariff. absolute
humiliation % Sfs trusts and regulation
q the railroads" he said. Il do not mean
gc~arument ownership of the railroads.,
1t regulation of them, though l do not
care to go into a minute description of
this plank at this time. We believe the
tariff should he revised now, not at some
far distant date, and that the trusts should
not simply be curbed but wiped out COM
! pletely.
II am free to say that our platform will
be a platform. There is absolutely nothing
to the republican platform, it isn't worth
| that" and the speaker snapped his fingers
and refilled his glass with mineral water.
THE republican injunction plank is, is
well, 1 just can't say what it is, can you?
Mack says that the national COMMITTEES
on arrangements in Denver on Saturday
will choose the officers of the convention,
but who the permanent and temporary
chairmen will be he does not know. He
mentioned four men from whom he says
the selections will doubtless be made.
| These four are Senator Culberson of
Texas. Governor Folk of Missouri, Con-
gresham Clayton of Alabama and former
Congressman Bell of California.
None of the faithful met Mr.. and Mrs.
Mack when they alighted from the Rock
Island train at 11O5 last night and they
were allowed to find their way TO their
hotel alone. They leave this morning for
Lincoln and proceed Thursday to Denver
to remain until after the convention.
Upon his arrival in the city Mr.. Mack
bought the papers to learn of the con-
dition OF Representative Sherman, and
expressed deep regret on his illness. He
says that Sherman is a big man and that
they are personal friends.
