DEMOCRATS ARE
 BADLY DIVIDED
DEMOCRATIC PARTY iN NE5HAS- kA SHOWS PLAIN EVIDENCE
 OF DIVISION.
1ryan's Friends Demand Representa- 2 ton on Resolution Committee
 Causes Serious Dissension.

Fremont. Neb., July 4.-After sev- |eral conferences lasting until late four tonight, there was evidence rzat the rival factions of the democratic |party in Nebraska were anything but united so far as concerns the plat form to be adopted as tomorrow's Istate convention.
 The point at issue was the de- mand of William Jennings Bryan's friends for representation on the res Iolution committee and their desire that the platform contain commenda- ltion of the thrice democratic presi- Idential candidate. While every lead- CT was talking harmony, it was ap- parent the matter was In no wise settled. In fact several men who have been most persistent in their declarations for peace readily admit tcd that the prospect for 1t was far ther away at midnight than at any lime since the arrival of the van guard today.
 Those who have used their utmost efforts to eliminate trouble tonight predicted that unless Mir. Bryan's supporters permitted the plans map. ped out by the party leaders 70 go through, split might occur tomor- row.
 Perhaps tbe most significant feature of the ante-convention conditions was the prominence given to the candidacy lof Governor Harmon, of Ohio, for the presidential nomination. Early in the day supporters of the gover- nor placarded the town with his pictures.
 Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha. and Charles w. Bryan who came in the interests of W. j.. Bryan. met ire lquently without exchanging greetings and the mayor did not hesitate to make his position plain, so far as lcohcerned the candidacy of Governor Harmon. His delegationH at it's con- lvention week ago gave unqualified Endorsement to the Ohio governor, and the mayor tonight gave out an interview regarding that action.
 What we want to know said the mayor, Ifs whether Mir Bryan in the event of Nebraska democrats express ing themselves favorably to Mir. Har- mon. will support, or whether he will take the same position he did a year ago on the head of the state ticket.
 Under the Nebraska law the par ty will express It's preference at the April primaries. for presidential nominee and the delegate at large,
 who is elected at the same time, must necessarily be in accord with the faction of the party. Mir. Bryan thus far has declined to admit the respon- sibility Of Governor Harmon. If he lis going to retain that position. we should know of it at this time. The party in Nebraska does not propose to signify it's preference for pre- si- Idential candidate and have its dele gate at large enter the convention in opposition to that candidate.
 T believe the democrats of the state and of the nation are entitled to know where Mir. Bryan stands be- fore he is considered as candidate at large of his party in Nebraska. r

Narrow Escape from Death.

G. S. Smith met with painful acct
dent and had narrow escape from death
Tuesday. AS his two teams, loaded with
plank, were coming down the hill into
the Travelled road near Fullers dam in
Ashuelot, the second team driven by S.
II. Mcdonald, became unmanageable be-
cause of broken spreader and ran flu
riously down the hill, Mr.. Smith was on
the forward team and when the horses
struck his load, his horses took fright
and also made a breakneck plunge down
the hill. Mr.. Smith had to think quickly,
and he hoped to be able to reach the
main road and make the turn safely He
he struck the iron bridge a portion of
the railing was torn off and Mr. Smith
was pitched headlong down upon the ice
eight or ten feet below. One of the horses
and the toad also went over, the other
horse remaining on the bridge. Mr..
Smith was rendered unconscious but soon
recovered and was helped to a nearby
office and a telephone message was sent
TO Mrs. Smith to. go after him. A
physician was called, and although Mr..
Smith was badly bruised and shaken up
1t was found that no bones were broken.
The next day found him very lame and
sore, suffering much pain and unable to
leave his bed None of the horses, two
valuable pairs, We're injured beyond
slight scratches, though 1t seems little
less than miracle that such is the case
How seriously Mr.. Smith is injured is
n matter of conjecture, but he hopes to
be about soon and that there will be no
lasting i'll effects.
