WANT BANNER Of

Before the Formal Notifi-

LINCOLN DEMOCRATS STIRRED
Elaborate Plans for Gather

Crowd Expected.

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-I.lncoln
Democrats will make an effort to have
the Taft banner which Is hung over
the main street taken down on the
day Bryan Is formally notified of his
domination. The banner, which pro-
claims that Taft will carry Nebraska,
has been an eye-sore to local Demo-
Gratis since 1t was hung. A week
after it was placed, when it was the
subject of much discussion, the ban
ner was burned and partially destroy
ed. 1t has since been rehung without,
however, any unfavorable comment on
the part of Bryan men.
To-day it develops that a determin-
ed attempt will be made to have the
offensive emblem removed on the date
of Bryan's notification, as manyDem-
ocrats will be in the city, and mu-
nicipal tact, the Democrats say, re-
quires that visitors be not required
TO look at the banner. Chairman Hay
ward, of the Republican State Com
mltee, is now in Ohio and has not
been asked If he will take down the
banner. He said before the destruc-
ton of the sign that he would con-
sent to the removal on notification
day, but since the day it was taken
down he has not said he would adhere
to this promise.
Extensive preparations are being
made in Lincoln for Bryan's notifica-
ton on August y. In the hands OF
