the democratic nomination. This is

Conventions have not been held in all
of the states and territories but the
Bryan bureau proclaims $50 delegates
already instructed for the Nebraskan
and sixty-seven others in states not
bound by unit rule have declared
their personal preferences for him and
will give Bryan their votes. This
gives Bryan 697 votes, twenty-five
more than will be required to nom
mate on first ballot under the two

Rico in addition, which have yet to
hold their conventions are Florida,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Vermont,

maintains the Nebraskan will get a
large majority of the 146 votes of

Larger Cities Along the Line
Have Done Practically
Nothing to Secure Proposed
System.
SMALL TOWNS WORK
WITH A VENGEANCE.
At Fountain City, Business
Men Have Raised TheI Por-
tion Necessary to Complete
\PreIiminaries.

Local promoters of the proposed
traction line from Decatur to Port
land. are a trifle uneasy as to the sue
cessful outcome of the project. AT
recent meeting held by members Of
the committee appointed by the Com
mercial club to assist in promoting
the enterprise, the statement was
made that at some points along the
line of the proposed road the project
was meeting with enthusiastic en-
couragement but at other points the
business men were treating it with
indifference.
Cash Beall, one of the members OF
the local committee, stated yesterday
that at Fountain City, Lynn, Chester
and Ridgeville the citizens were work
ing hard to raise money to assist in
promoting the line but that at Port
land and Winchester the business men
had taken no action to assist in fur
thering the project.
Small Towns Active.
At the last meeting held by the
committees representing all the towns
and cities along the proposed line,
it was decided that each community
should raise a fund to be used in de-
fraying the expense of completing the
preliminary work on the line, such as
making surveys and securing options
on the right of way. Fountain City.
| Chester, Lynn and Ridgevi!le at once
set to work to raise their share of the
expense. 1t is understood that at
Fountain City the business men have
raised the entire amount expected of
them and that at Chester, Lynn and
Ridgeville the business men in each
town have nearly their portion.
Big Cities Slow.
Not a cent has been raised in this
| city, or in Winchester and Portland.
Mr.. Beall states that the Commercial
club committee will take no action in
attempting to raise any money in this
city to further the project until the
committee sees what the business
men at Winchester and Portland in
tend to do. If they refuse to assist
in promoting the proposed line. Mr.
| Beall states, the local committee will
drop the project.
1t is understood that the business
men in Portland and Winchester dc
not look kindly on the project as they
are of the opinion that it will not ben
eft them but would take some of the
trade they now enjoy to this city OF
| to Decatur. The local committee has
communicated with the Commercial,
clubs at Portland and Winchester ask
ing them to inform the local CONNER
cial club at once what action they in
tend to take in regards to the propos
ed traction line.
