NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS REFUSE
TO ADOPT LEADERS, PLANK.
commoner's Battle Against Liquor
Vain, Despite Great Speech on
The Convention Floor.

Grand Island, Neb.--Nebraska Dem
3crats Tuesday night delivered blow
10 William J. Bryan when by de-
risive vote they registered their un-
belief in his county local option plan.
Mr. Bryan had labored hard in the
committee in an effort to have his
ideas written into the platform, and
after being defeated in the committee.
he appealed to the convention and in
this appeal made the speech of his
life to convention already instructed
against him.
He pleaded to his old friends,
begged them not to repudiate him I'm
less they found him untrue to Demo
cratic principles; he threatened state
wide prohibition if county option was
defeated; he denounced those Demo
Gratis whom he charged with being
subservient to the liquor interests;
and he cajoled the uninstructed dele
gates to vote for him and his plans
And then standing aside he listened
to the most bitter words directed at
him that he has ever heard.
No attack made against Bryan by
Republicans or others, in any of his
campaigns, was ever so bitter as were
the attacks made by Bryan's old
friends against their old leader. AS a
member of the committee on resolu.
tons, Mr.. Bryan returned minority
report on the county option plank.
This minority report. signed only by
Bryan himself, was short and to the
point, saying simply: 1--WE favor coun.
ty option as the best method Of deal.
ing with the liquor question"
1t was in defense of this report that
Mr.. Bryan made the speech which will
be called the greatest effort Of his
life. ~
The sentiment towards Bryan was
shown when, for more than an hour,
the convention called upon different
leaders to address it, but not single
one was made for Mr.. Bryan. When
the final vote was taken, Bryan's
plank was turned down 645 to 1876
and a direct anti-county option plank

Columbus, O.--By fusion of the
Garfield and administration delegates,
the Republican convention Thursday

the third ballot. after James r. Gar
field and Carmi A. Thompson had
withdrawn.
F. w. Treadway Of Cleveland was

Despite the efforts of Senator Bur-
tons Cuyahoga county delegation to
stalNpede the convention for Nicholas
Longworth, and George B. Cox's every
effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown,
the Dayton man, the combination OF
the 'progressives" with the national
administration men broke up the fight
on the third ballot. Then Cox, yield
ing to the inevitable, cast the 81 Ham.
ilton votes for Harding, and that fin
ished it.
The platform which it is expected
will be model for future Republican
conventions, was adopted almost
unanimously, there being but a few
scattered noes" s.+. .-..
The salient features follow: d..
President Taft's administration Is
commended in highest terms, particu
lar praise being given for the action
taken against the sugar trust. the pre-
vention of raise in freight rates by
the railroads, the indictment OF the
cotton pool and the work of the Sixty
f0t congress-
Faith in the Payne-Aldrich tarin
law is affirmed because lit does not
raise the rate of duty on a single com
mon food product" and also because
1.-The increases made were on luxur1es
and articles not of common USE"
Revival of the merchant marine
and an adequate national defense is
urged.
An employers liability law is
favored and the establishment OF a
commission to investigate the ques'
tion is praised.
I The principle of conservation is In
dorsed and a demand made for the
enforcement of the existing laws and
enactment of new measures.
A limit on the tax rate to ten mills
for all purposes is favored, as is su-
pervision of all public utilities by a
commission and the ratification of the
income tax by the federal constitution.
