Leadership Of Democracy in
Nebraska Taken From Him
CHEERS OVER THE RESULT
Convention, However, Made Him a Mem
Der Of the Platform Committee.
Test Came on an Amend
ment.

Grand Island, Neb, July 27--Amid a
tumult Of cheers from the former fol-
lowers Of William J. Bryan, permanent
chairman smyth Of the Democratic plat
form convention yesterday read the re-
suit Of a test vote Of the gathering,
practically taking from Mr.. Bryan the
Democratic leadership Of Nebraska,
which he has maintained for 20 years.
The vote came on a motion by Con-
gresham G. NJ Hitchcock, candidate
for the senatorial nomination, which was
In effect to eliminate the introduction
OF platform planks, VITA accompanying
speeches, unless submitted as a section
Of the majority or minority report Of
the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Bryan, seated a. q member Of the
Lancaster county delegation, rose at once
with a protest, and offered an amend
ment modifying the original motion. A
dozen Delegates made as many motions.
aud heated speeches on the subject, the
Bryan adherents denouneing the Hitch.
cook motion as gag rude and their op-
poEents asserting that individual rule
must not prevail in the convention.
Chairman Smyth ordered roll.call
on the amendment, and the gathering
was silent a. the vote Of tie counties
was called that would determine the
strength Of Mr.. Bryan. When two
thirds had been called, foes Of Mr.. Bryan
realized that be was defeated, and
wave Of cneers that drowned the roll.eall
began. AS Chairman smyth finally read
the result, 485 against the amendment to
S0i in favor Of It, the delegates cheered
again. The original motion Of Mr.
Hitchcock was then adopted.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and Chairman smyth, after
a brief speech, selected committee Of
resolutions. Mr. Bryan was one of the
first two Of the committee Of seven
members.
Congressman Hitchcock then made his
motion to restrict discussion. The oppo.
ncnts Of Mr. Bryan asserted that il IN.
diyidual introduction Of platform planks
had been permitted, with speeches on
each one, it would have materially de.
layed the progress Of the body.
While they asserted their willingness
that he should speak on the minority
report, which it was expected to intro
duce, the action practically prohibited
any other speech from him in the con
vertion.
While the committee on resolutions
was drafting It's report, Governor Shall
lenberger and Mayor Dahlmsn Of oma-
ha, rivals for the nomination for gov
emor, addressed the convention and each
hurled verbal shafts at the other.

UNALTERABLE OPPOSED
TO CANNONISM
Nebraska Republicans Adopt Resolution
Expressing Sympathy with Insur-
gent Movement.

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-The Republi-
can state convention yesterday adopted
platform strongly endorsing the ad-
niristration Of President Taft, express
ling unalterable opposition to the ~sys-
tenn known as Cannonism,n and hearty
sympathy with the 'insurgent movement
in and out Of Congress"
The platform includes declaration
for county option as a method Of regi.
Iatiug the liquor traffic and for an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for direct legislation.
These resolutions were not adopted
without meeting strong opposition, both
in the resolutions committee and upon
tie floor Of the convention. But while
there were no votes to spare in the
committee for county option and the
other matters came before the main
body OF delegates as minority reports,
tine vote in their favor in the convention
was overwhelming.
AS general proposition, Il had been
understood the endorsement Of county
option and of insurgency were supported
BY the same people In consequence,
when at the opening Of the convention
az noon U. s Senator Norris Brown, a
standpatter, was chosen permanent
chairman over Congressman George w.
Norris, a leader in insurgency, by an
overwhelming vote, the rank and file Of
the county optionists began to fear for
the fate of their pet resolution.
II developed, however, that while no
compromise Is admitted By either side,
there was conference Monday night, at
which Senator Brown assured the OPP
tionists Of the character Of the resolu-
tons committee he would appoint if he
was made permanent chairman. The
committee OF seven appointed by him in
cluded three in favor Of the present law,
three in favor Of county option, and
one in favor Of the submission Of
statewide prohibition amendment. The
last named number finally voted for the
county option plank,
Near the close Of the convention, Con-
gresham Norris offered the following
resolutions;
every protest against wrong is in
surging for the right. We are unalter-
ably opposed to the system known as
.Cannonsm' and are heartily in sympa
thy with the insurgent movement in and
out Of Congress. We urge our senators
and representatives to make use Of their
votes and influence along progressive
lines in the future"
There was storm Of protest when
the resolution was presented, but when
put to vote it was adopted.
