couvenes here tomorrow. But only a
spark is needed TO start much trouble
and hopeless split may result. The

J ton iudorsing Bryan. The Bryanites
will fight any resolution indorsing any
one else. and the Shallenberger faction
will fight both Bryan and Dahlman If

From indications tonight the cOrven-

believed his friends will not dare risk
vote of censure by introducing reso-
luton favoring Bryan.

Of the ante-convcntion conditions was
the prominence given b. placards 10 the
candidacy Of Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio for the Presidential nomination.
Such leaders as former Governor Shall

land. Judge Dean and others declared
that there was no organization behind
the Harmon boom and that il was the
result simply of the efforts Of one in
dvidual who had recently been active
in support Of the Ohio executive.
The Douglas County delegation. Of
which Mayor Dahlman is the recognized
leader did not hesitate 10 make his
position plain SC far as concerned the
candidacy of Governor Harmon. His
delegation, at it's convention week ago,
gave unqualified Endorsement to the Ohio
Governor. and the Mayor tonight gave
out the following statement regarding
that action:
