MINNESOTA TO
TAKE BRYAN AS
SECOND CHOICE
RESOLUTION TO BE PRESENTED
AT CONVENTION TO PREVENT
BRYANiTES FROM HOLDING
RUMP CONVENTION.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 14.-Previous
to the assembling of the state Demo
cratic convention here today the
Johnson men, who will control the
convention, decided to insert the name
of Bryan in the platform by declar-
ing that while Minnesota Democrats
have affection for him and possess
confidence in his integrity and ability
they favor Johnson as man who is
equally worthy and who gives promise
of successful candidacy for the
presidential nomination.
1t is certain the resolution will pro-
duce warm fight on the floor of the
convention and may be stricken out.
The threat of the Bryan men to bolt
and hold rump convention has lost
much Of its force and it is believed If
they can secure the adoption of the
resolution making Bryan the second
choice they will be satisfied.

HULL-Olive M. Lafferty was born
at Sharon, Pa, on October 7, 1929. The
family Of which she was a member
consisted of six girls and five boys.
George w. I4afferty, her brother, and
well-known attorney Of Oskaloosa,
is the only surviving member of that
generous old Pennsylvania home. In
1S47 Miss Lafferty was united in mar
rage to E. w. Hull, and for 81 years
they have trod lifes pathway together
Three score years is a long time to
be permitted to enjoy each others
companionship. They came. to Mahas-
ka county in 1857 with the great tide
Of western immigration. For num-
Der Of years Mr.. Hull was a farmer,
but for thirty years or more he has
worked at the carpenter trade. Their
home was in Oskaloosa until six years
ago, when they moved to Ottumwa to
be near the home Of their daughter,
Mrs. T. P. Walker, who with her in
teresting family reside in that city.
Mrs. Hull united with the church at
an early age and has all her life been
an earnest Christian. Always devoted
to her home and family, she loved the
church, and enjoyed her highest
pleasure in it's various services Six
children were born to their cheerful
home; Florin S. Josie H. Eva, Ella B.,
Ida J. and Sadie. OF the six, but two
remain TO cnerlSh ner life and un-
selfish devotion to their best interests
Mrs. Ella B. Walker, Of Ottumwa,
and Mrs. Josie H. Corbft, who is a
teacher in the city schools in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. F1orin was for several
years a druggist in Oskaloosa. The
other three died in early life. All Of
them are sleeping by her side in the
family lot in Forest cemetery. Had
Mrs Hull lived until October of this
year she would have been 70 years Of
age. For some months time had been
encroaching on the activity of both Of
them and thew gave up their home and
took rooms in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. T. P. Walker, where they received
every attention that love could be-
stow. After a few days of declining
strength, on Sunday morning, April g.
Mrs. Hull quietly fell asleep and with
out any evidence Of the last struggle
she peacefully passed to the heavenly
rest. The unself1sh mother and faith
full wife has closed her we'll spent
life and gone to her reward. Her de-
parture falls heaviest on the aged hus-

were among our best citizens, who
have hosts of friends in Oskaloosa. 1t

flood Of years" breaks in on these
happy homes and leaves only wreck
and ruin. 1t is one way Of teaching
us that we were born for a higher
destiny and the hand Of love is guiding
