May Stampede Convention.
The democrats are laughing at rne
expense of the Hearst henchmen who
are busy preparing for the independ-
| ence league state convention, slated
for Indianapolis on August 81. Tho
original date agreed upon was August
25, but when IL was learned positively
that the Kern notification would be
held on that date there was a sudden
conference of the leaders and a switch
ing of dates to the 9th of August.
When asked why this should have
been done, one of the Hearst men
said that they did not care to run in
to the Ncbraskan anywhere. He re-
called the incident at the Chicago con-
vention of the independence league
when a Kansas delegate tried to start
stampede for Bryan and was thrown
out of the hall. He feared that such
q thing might be attempted here,
and believed that IL would be much
more likely to occur at a time when
Bryan was miles away from Indiana
polls than when he is On the ground.
AS a matter of fact the Hearstites
have heard rumors that a stampede
of the state convention Is to beat
tempted. They are preparing for IL
and promise that it will be promptly
suppressed IL sprung. The democratic
leaders smile at the confusion of the
leaguers, many of whom are desert
ers from their party. and declare that
there is no thought OF bothering them
In any way. The prediction is made
that the convention will be unable to
rally a hundred delegates OF the bona
fide type.

calls Abe Martins philosophy: ct
