j. Bryan spent an hour and a half be-

cupied the time by holding a conference
with Jere s. Black Of York, Warren
Worth Bailey OF Johnstown and other
prominent Bryan men. who were defeated
in the democratic state convention here
yesterday in their attempt to have the
delegates at large instructed for the Ne
braskan.
When asked about the result OF yes
terday's convention Mr. Bryan said: Il
appreciate very much the efforts Of the
democrats who attempted. to secure q
resolution in the state convention in har-
mony with the vote of the democrats at
the primaries. The difference between
the primaries and the state convention
illustrates forcibly the necessity for pri-
maries. When voters speak for them
selves they say what they think and do
what they please. When voters put their
interests in the hands OF uninstructed del
egates they take chances in the delegates
using the power for themselves and
against voters. 1t is just such betrayals
Of public trust that have led to the ex-
tension of the primary system
