Lincoln, June 30.-The Nebraska
delegation at the Denver convention
will approve any New York man on
whom the factions in that state can
agree for vice president. Failing this
Nebraska will vote solidly for Judge
Gray for vice president.
The record of Gray is regarded as
of the best for pleasing labor votes
and it is for these votes the Demo
cratic party is going to make It's
strongest bid, assert the Nebraskans
The Nebraska delegation, which Is
considered in accord with Bryan In
every particular, is standing for a
strong anti-injunction plank that will
satisfy the demands of President
Gompers and other labor leaders. The
visit of Josiah Marvel of Wilmington,
Del, manager for Judge Gray. has ac-
centuated the belief that Gray is per-
soma grata with Bryan.
The tariff plank will be very similar
to those of former years.
Family TO BE There.
Denver, June 3O.-Although neither
William Jennings Bryan nor Mrs.
Bryan will attend the Democratic ma
tional convention, the Bryan family
will be pretty well represented. The
candidates three children will all be
present. They will occupy box seats
during the sessions.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt is already
in the city. She is in poor health, her
recent ocean voyage not having pro-
duced the improvement that had been
expected. Recently she has been at
a mountain health resort and came
here from there a few days ago.
william J. Bryan. Jr., 10, now on
a hunting and fishing trip in the
northern part of the state, is expected
to arrive about July 4. His sister,
Grace. now nearly II, will reach the
city about the same time.
The youngest daughter bears a
striking resemblance to her father.
She has the same broad face and gen.
erous smile, and the same tricks of
expression. The son resembles neith-
er the father nor the mother particu-
larly. He is more nearly a compos-
lite picture of both.
Bailey There in Spirit.
Dallas, Texas, June 3O.-,Senator
Joe Bailey, too i'll to attend the Den
Yer convention, is. according to his
enemies, saved considerable embar-
rassment as a leading reactionary
among men inclined to be radical. His
friends, however. stoutly aver that
Bailey is heart and soul with Bryan
on every issue excepting government
ownership of railroads, and that Bry-
an will be grieved if Bailey can not
contribute his counsel to the building
of Democratic platform and the
selection of a vice presidential nomi-
nee at Denver.
The Texas delegation will vote as a
unit and Bailey's wishes will be the
delegations wishes. If he could go
10 Denver he would represent Texas
on the resolutions committee. His
friends say he will be for the Nebras-
ka platform generally. though it con-
tans demand that public officers do
not accept services from trusts and
though the Bailey convention refused
to adopt this specific plank when the
anti Baileyites sprang it with a view
OF humiliating the senator.
Bailey is generally sized up as a
reactionary Democrat. His friends in
Texas, without hesitation, say this is
untrue. They refer to the alleged
statement of Bryan that Bailey did
splendid work on the last Democratic
platform. They say Bryan was for
Parker as against Hearst, because Of
his enmity for the latter. His real
choice was German. They say that
Bailey and Bryan are one on all
points of Democratic doctrine now ex-
cepting railroad ownership. The Texas
delegation 10 man believes this.
The Texas delegation will travel to
Denver in a special train to be called
the Joe Bailey Special"
Are Slow in Arriving.
Denver, Colo, June 3O.-FrOm
present appearances probably the
majority Of delegates and alternates
to the Democratic national convention
will be in Denver only a short time
before the convention meets. Thus
far not a single state delegation has
arrived
The most important event of the
day bearing on the convention was the
meeting OF the committee on arrange
ments. which was called to order at
10 o'clock this morning. The meeting
was Informal and the question OF
tickets and seating capacity were the
chief matters discussed. No action
was taken and the committee ad-
1ourned until late this afternoon,
when 1t will again discuss the matter.
