REPUBLICANS
IGNORED THEM
"Ah, There is the Vice." Was
Mr.. Bryan's Greeting to
His Running Mate, as
Kern and Party Reaches
Fairview-Mr. Bryan Will
Speak in Chicago on Labor
Day.
By Assoclated Pcs.

Fairview Farm, Lincoln, Neb. July
13.-SamueI GomperS, president of
the American Federation OF Labor,
will support W. J. Bryan during the
coming presidential campaign. In 20
Iitical circles today this announcement
overshadOwed all others, even the ar
rival of John w Kern, the vice pres
idential nominee.
While Compress support was prom
ised the ticket, he specifically denied
any intention On his part of taking
the stump in the coming campaign.
He left Fairview after a fifteen min
utes' interview with Bryan.
The Republican convention, Com
pers asserted, ignored the demands Of
labor, while the Democrats acknowl-
edged them in their platform.
His course, he says, is clear, and he
will do what is demanded of him in
the interest of labor as best expressed
in the platform adopted at Denver.
The representative of organized la
Dor and the vice-presidentfaI nominee
John w. Kern, and party, reached
Bryan station by trolley car.
Bryan in his much neglected Fedora
hat and alpaca coat, went out to greet
them.
All, there is the vice" observed
the leader of the ticket, smiling What
Kern said in reply was lost in the
confusion
Bryan told his visitors it was re-
ported that he would make a front
porch campaign He was by no means
certain about this, but admitted that
he had promised to nakssa speech in
Chicago on Labor Day.
Aside from this date. the candidate
for the presidency has made no plans.

Want the Presidential
Nomination.
Special to The Journal

Columbus, o., July 13.-What will
be the largest national convention of
the year, in point of number of dele
gates, will begin in this city Wednes-
day, and will nominate a national tick
ct and adopt a platform on which
the foes of the rum demon will stand
in this years campaign. A large pro-
portion of the 1,512 delegates have
arrived and the wire-pullinS for the
presidential nomination has already
commenced. State delegations and
the various committees will meet to-
morrow to transact preliminary bus
mess. The Intercollegiate Prohibition
Association will hold its oratorical
contest this evening, when elecu-
tionists from all over the United
States will launch oTatOrical broad
sides at the saloon. Cash prizes will
be awarded the winners.
The convention will be formally
called to order a. 10 o'clock We'd
neSday morning Memorial Hall will
be the scene of the gathering and has
been deliberately decorated for the oc-
casion- Temperance emblemS, scrip
ture quotations and anti-salOOn mot
toes are sandwiched in between flags
and bunting. The delegates will be
seated on the main floor of the hall,
with the aIternates and visitors in the
galleries An extension to the big
stage has been made TO accommodate
about 400 district leaders who will be
in attendance. Provisions have been
made for about $50 newspaper men.

attorney; DR.. W. B. Palmore, editor
of the ST. Louis Christian Advocate;
Fred F. Wheeler, Los Angeles real
estate dealer; DIR. J. u Cranfil Bap-
fist minister Of Texas who has been
prominently identified with the prohi-
bition movement, and Judge A S
Artman, of Lebanon, Ind, who came
into prominence about a year ago by
legal decision in which he declared
that the granting of a saloon license is
| Illegal.
| Apparently a majority of the lead
ers think it would be better to nom
mate for president a man who has be-
come prominent in the anti-SalOOn
work while holding office under one
of the old parties Among these is
Seaborn Wright, prominent Georgia
politician, who, as a member OF the

will not be for trial upon the charges
filed against him some months ago,
but to establish to the satisfaction OF
the court whether or not he is COM
petent to conduct his own defense
His attorneys yesterday started pro-
'ceedings of this character. claiming
that their client is not competent to

fore should not be tired. Should
Judge Beggs find that Scudamore is
competent to conduct his defense the
case will probably be heard at the

From what could be learned of the
matter the physicians of the insane
asylum decided about a week ago that
ScudamOre is a sane man, and deter
mined TO discharge him from the asy-
iUm- This news reached Pensacola,
but was kept exceedingly quiet, and
there was, therefore, much surprise

amOre was discharged that he be turn

take any such STEP. and furthermore
refused 10 allow the deputy to make
the arrest on the asylum grounds,
stating that ScudamOTe was TO be dis
charged AT $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon. and if the deputy decided to
wait outside of the grounds and make
the arrest he could do so. but ne could
make no arrests on the premises.

Deputy Cusachs then proceeded 10
secure the services Of a deputy of that
county. and the TWO then stationed
themselves near the asylum gate.

A hack had been secured and waG

noon ScUd3more walked out Of the
gate a free man, but had not taken a
dozen steps before he was placed IN

CuSaChS- The latter took the first
train for Pensacola and upon his ar
rival placed ScudamOre in the county
jail 10 await trial.
The deputy stated that he coulc
notice no change in ScUdamoFe, and
that he submitted TO arrest without
