DEMOCRATS WORK
TO CRUSH BRYAN
Issue of County Option
Sounds KnelI to Leader.
WILL HE AID REPUBLICANS ?
Nebraska Leaders Expect 10 Rid
Themselves of the PeerIeS One
Now That He Has Allied Himself
with Unpopular Side of Question.
Victory Is Overwhelming.

Omaha, NebT,. July 17.-TesJerday's re-
suits Of county conventions show without
doubt that the Democracy viii not place
county option in its platform and will
repudiate Bryan. Republican eonven-
tions. held the same day. show that the
Republican State convention will declare
for county option.
With the Democratic platform declaring
against the plank which Bryan says is
the great paramount moral issue. and
the Republican platform carrying plank
standing for exactly that for which Bry-
an has been fighting. the question nat
urally arises: ''WHl Bryan stand for the
Democratic or viii he work for the cleo
ton of the State Republican ticket this
fall?"
Plan to Crush Him.
Bryan IS TO be completely crushed by
the Nebraska Democracy, now that he
is down and OUT according to the pro-
gramme Of the State leaders. Word has
been sent to all counties where conven-
tions have not already been held that not
a single Bryan man is to be placed on
delegations. regardless of the instructions
given the delegates by the county con-
ventions
The poor showing made by Bryan and
his county option scheme in yesterdays
county conventions was so surprising to
the insurgents that they have determined
to once for all rid themselves of the
peerless leader. The anti-county option
lists expected victory. but not one so
overwhelming, and the weakness dis
played by Bryan has made the opposition
leaders bold TO go In and throw Bryan
over the transom."
No HOnOrs for Him.
Bryan has captured the delegation from
only a single county. Special effort will
be made 10 prevent the naming of A
single Bryan sympathizer in the State
convention. The plan is that Bryan be
not placed upon single committee: that
the time of the great speech which he is
expecting to make be cut to the mini
mum. and that while no actual discour-
tesy be shown him. yet that he receive
scant attention from the convention.
The fact that probably more than
three-fourths of the convention are anti
Bryan men and instructed against county
option will make it easy for this pro-
gramme to be carried out.

base of the cannon the figures 1928,
while toward the center the cast on
top of the gun was the coast of arms
of either France or England and the
figures l9, chiseled on the side The
