MAYOR DAHLMAN
TO Be CHAIRMAN
Prominent 0mahan Will Prob
ably Be Bryan's Choice
as Campaign Manager.
Especial to The Herald.)

Denver, July s.-Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha or Mayor Brown of Lincoln will
probably be chairman of the Democratic
national committee. This is regarded as
the meaning of a statement that Bryan
made today when he was told of the cleo
ton of Hitchcock as chairman of the Re-
publican committee and asked whom he
would prefer to manage his campaign.
Il should prefer some plain. unassuming
citizen of Nebraska" he said. Il believe
also that il would be well to have an ad-
visory committee containing such men as
Governor Francis of Missouri"
Mr.. Bryan'S message was given to a
friend who sent II here. IL Is taken to
mean that either Mayor Brown of Lin
coin. a warm personal friend OF Bryan.
or Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, who has
had charge of Mr.. Bryan's campaign for
the nomination. will be selected. The
probabilities are for the latter. as he Is
an admirable organizer and of German
descent. and the German vote is going to
be an important factor in the campaign.
1t is believed that for the first Tune since
1892 the German vote will come In great
numbers to thu Democratic ticket

NO ANTI-MORMON
PLANK PROBABLE
Senator PettigreW Attempts to
Aid Dubois, but Commit
tee Is Adverse.
Az TO the CONVENTION
Especial to The Herald.)

Denver. July S.-Former Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota today offered
plank on the Mormon question to the SUBJ
committee on resolutions at an executive
session. After discussion a decision was
reached adverse to including the plank in
the platform. Pettigrew, it was stated
tonight, will attempt again to get his
plank in the platform. He will now try
the full committee. and if he fails there
threatens to make a minority report and
thresh out the matter on the floor.
The proposed plank is similar to that
adopted four years d 20, with the addition
of a preamble intended to win the south
ern states. The preamble sets forth that
1t is good Democratic doctrine to take
cognizance of a condition where the func-
lions of state and church are mingled.
Pettigrew strove hard for the plank. but
was forced to yield to numbers. If he is
unable to win in the full committee. and
his success is improbable. his fight in the
convention, it is predicted, will be equally
In vain.

BOLD ROBBERY IN NEW YORK
Safe Blowers Secure $25, 900 in Loot
From Diamond Point Pen
Company.

New York. July s.-Loot valued at $685.
600 was secured by safe blowers, who
early today drilled their way through a
twenty-inch brick wall into the offices of
the Diamond Point Pen company in Bea-
kan street and then shattered two saSss
with dynamite. The police have no clue
to the robbers.
The burglars had obtained access to the
offices of the Diamond Point Pen COM
pany by cutting hole from a hallway in
an adjoining building through brick
wall. The two safes were dragged into
the work room and blown open, probably
while the sound was deadened by the
passing Of an elevated train. sos
The stolen property consisted mainly of
manufactured goods A safe containing
the most of the company's cash was kept
in another building because the Diamond
Point Pen company already had been
robbed five times in the last three years.
The interior of the offices and work
room of the company was left by the
burglars in a great state of disorder.
Nothing of value escaped them.

TAFT STREAMER
HELPING BRYAN
Lincoln Republicans Take
Pride in Distinguished
Fellow Citizen.

Lincoln, Neb.. July S.-The Taft banner
across o street. which has been the
source of considerable annoyance to local
Democrats. was still in place this morn
ing and Chairman Hayward OF the Re-
publican state central committee said the
committee had no intention of removing
IL.
One Lincoln Republican paper has made
a vigorous crusade against the action of
the committee and other party organs are
only lukewarm toward it. The first step
toward the removal of the banner was
taken this morning. when a number of
Lincoln business men began the circula-
ton of petition to the Republican state
central committee that lit be taken down.
Against the Ordinance.
John T. Fent. chairman of the local
Democratic reception committee, declared
to the Associated Press that the city or
dinances against signs might be invoked
to bring down the obnoxious banner, but
said the Republicans would be given an
opportunity to exhibit their local pride
before drastic action was taken.
Chairman Hayward defends the action
of his committee purely on political
grounds and declares there is no objection
to the Democrats bringing out streamer
and entering into active competition.
