To Steal Bryan's Thunder.

1t is now expected that the Republican
State Convention next Tuesday will steal
Bryan's thunder. While Bryan has been
trying TO force county option and the
initiative and referendum upon his own
party, the Republicans have gone steadily
along and without noise preparing to
place planlZs in their state platform which
will enbody both these features. At the
election the Republican candidates expect
TO draw heavily from the Bryan support
ers in the Democratic party as a result.
Neither county option nor the initiative
and referendum are issues in Republican
circles this year, yet because of the strong
sentiment In the party many OF the
county conventions have instructed their
delegates TO insert these provisions in the
platform The planks viii probably be
inserted without fight

Of the initiative and referendum in both

The work now to be done is to Sc
