White Satin Petticoats

tional Dry-Farming Congress. 1.-The
crop is specifically drouth resistant
by nature" he adds, "and the condi-
lions necessary to best seed quality
are found under those of the semi
arid foothills of the Rocky mountains,
where dry-land agriculture is being
practiced-dry air, cool nights, warm.

Baltimore, June e7.-The platform to be

first by Mr. Bryan and Senator OGor-
man of the resolutions committee, and
later by the subcommittee OF II, OF
which Senator Kern of Indiana is chair
man. and, in the end, by the fun COM

Immediately after their task was as
signed them Messrs. Bryan and OGor-
man shut themselves up In the commit
tee room, dotted their coats and collars
and continued until about p. M. when
they announced that their work had been
completed.
The subcommittee was called in at that
hour and Immediately began careful
reading of the document. Members of the
subcommittee found little ground for
criticism, all of their analyses being
merely verbally They were satisfied.
As has been announced, the platform Is
a fiat and positive declaration for tariff

ment In favor of free material

ciples with which the document opens.

BRYAN'S VIEW ON
RESULT OF VOTE
Eliminates All ReactiOnaries
From Party
READY FOR WORK
Has No Interior Reason for With
drawing Second Part of Resolu-
tion-Makes No Choice Be-
tween Clark and Wilson

Baltimore, June 27-At the conclusion
of the roll call ON his resolution, Mr..
Bryan had the following to say in regard
thereto:
"This vote eliminates all of the re-
dictionaries and we can now proceed 10
the election of progressive, put him on
a progressive platform and go out and
win. There are some things which
think it would be wise for the candi
date to do, but they need not be an
nounced until his nomination"
Late tonight Mr.. Bryan received a num-
Der OF newspaper men and was asked If
he had any reasons to give for withdraw
ing the latter part of the resolutions
introduced by. him, demanding the with
drawal from the convention of the per-
sons named in the resolution. He said:
II stated my reasons at the time. Many
of our democrats sincerely objected to
the second resolution on the ground that
it was an invasion of a right of the state
and did not want TO put them into a
position where their reasons for voting
against the double resolution would be
the subject of discussion.
"Others were likely to use it as an
excuse for voting against the first part
sof the resolution and 1 thought it best
not to give them that excuse and the
purpose was served anyhow in a con-
domination of the men and the system
that they represent.
The large majority indicates that the
actual number of delegates who will adj
nit that they are reactionaries is really
small.
From now on we will have progress
sive convention and a progressive cam
paign and believe q democratic vic

There has been suggestion of a bolt
on your part" was suggested by one.
Mr.. Bryan smiled as he answered:
''Have you heard any talk of anything
like that? Would | be apt to bolt pro-
gramme such as 1 have outlned?"
'of course, the report was circulated
by your enemies"
do not measure me by my enemies.
