II was practically decided that the
question OF chairman for the Demo
cratic national committee be left to
a subcommittee of nine. II is said
TO be the desire OF Mr.. Bryan that
this subcommittee make a selection
inside of two weeks.
The names so far most prominent.
ly mentioned for the chairmanship
as national committeeman are James.
Kentucky; Atwood, Kansas; Lamb.
Indiana and d. J. Campau, former
member of the committee for Michi.
gan.
While Mr. Bryan believes James to
be one of the most capable men in
the party, II is said he does not want
the place. First and foremost Mr.
James is an orator, and his services
on the platform will be in great de.
mand during the campaign. He be
lieves the greatest usefulness will be
exerted in this direction. Atwood is
highly thought Of. particularly among
westerners, but the eastern sentiment
is believed TO lie between Lamb and
Campau. The latter's wide experience
and keen business ability make him
favorite for the place
Mr.. Bryan will be officially notified
Of his nomination at his home Aug. 13
Mr. Kern will be notified OF his nomi
nation at indianapolis at a date to be
determined upon later
The Democratic national committee
in executive session adopted this reso

the work of the coming campaign.
William Gonzales, editor OF State, OF
Columbia, South Carolina, and one of
Bryan's lieutenants, after a visit with
Bryan and Kern Tuesday, said:
The statement that Mr. Bryan will
not make a canvass is incorrect. IL
is his present purpose, however to
deliver no platform speeches, dealing
with more vital issues as presented in
the platform, Mr.. Kern will make a
more continuous campaign, and it was
assured at Denver that TOwne would
be no less active than if he had been
the vice presidential nominee"
Mr. Gonzales said campaign contri-
buttons will be invited by newspapers
in his state and he believed every
Democratic paper in the south will
do likewise
