Seventy Nine Contests
To Be Decided.

One OF the most important things
slated for consideration by the national
committee today was the making up Of
the temporary roll of the convention
There are 70 contests listed. One of the
biggest fights Is that which will come
when the Illinois contests are heard.
The fight there is that between Com
mitteeman Roger C. Sullivan and his
faction and the faction headed by
Mayor Carter II. Harrison Of Chicago
Before the meeting Of the national
committee today for the first test Of
strength between the Bryan and anti
Bryan forces it was confidently assert
ed by the anti Bryan men that they far
outnumbered the Nebraskans support
ers. II was reported that Bryan him
self might enter the committee meet
ing, holding the proxy Of Committee
man p. l.. Hall of Nebraska. Hall is a
close friend Of Bryan and is his sup
porter in the fight that is being waged
against Parker.
Interest in the candidates for the
presidential nomination was two-fold
today IN addition to their race for
party leadership, there was much spec
ulation as to the part they would play
in the Bryan Parker fight.
Supporters Of Champ Clark. of Mis-
souri, according to statements Of his
leutenants, have been left free to take
what part they choose in Tire skirmish.
The BRYAN men will support the man
from Lincoln. The anti Bryan Clark
supporters will aid the hackers Of
Parker
Woodrow Wilson has taken a definite
stand saying that the progressive musb
sound the keynote. He Gates Parker as
a conservative and his followers will
take sides against the men from Esopus
The others-Governor Judson Harmon
Of Ohio. oscar Underwood of Ala
bama and Thomas r. Marshall Of IN
diana-haye taken sides in the con-
troversy.
In the matter of candidates, the field
is rich Today the New York delega
ton added the name of William j.

list His picture was thrown to the
breezes and his workers got into ac-

Interest today conferred in the
moves of the leaders over the
craftsmanship fight William Jen-
nings Bryan, who has announced
that he will oppose Judge Alton
B. Parker, of New York, for the
position, began to marshal his
forces That he will fight to the
finish, in spite Of the efforts Of
the party leaders to induce him to
join "a harmony movement,
was apparent.
Clark Howell, member Of the com
mittee for Georgia. said:
The committee will select Judge
Parker He will have from 80 to 81
votes on the test
Speculation as to the candidate that
will be brought out to oppose Parker
was rife. The names of Senator John
Worth Kern of Indiana and Governor
Frederick Plaisted of Maine were men
toned. Kern is a close personal friend
of Bryan. -Four years ago he was vice
presidential candidate with Bryan His
selection was made then at the sugges-
ton of Bryan, and for this reason it
was believed today that Kern would be
selected to lead the fight
Governor Plaisted, however, is pro-
gressive whose fight at the head of his
party in Maine brought him into prom
inence, and he is favored by many of
those who are backing the Nebraskan
in his fight against the New York
iurist
