Gets Through Motion to With.
hold Drafting of Platform
Until After Candidate
Is Named

BALTIMORE, MD, June civil
liam Jennings Bryan won his first vic .
tory In the present battle between
rea dictionaries and proKrenives In the
resolutions committee today.
BY vote OF IL to II. a motion to
withhold the drafting of the platform
until after the convention chooses Its
nominee was passed.
The matter will have to go to the
committee on rules and they Will
probably present It to the convention
In a report either UNFOLDING or
recommending against 1t.
Mr.. Bryan first declined to accept
the chairma nship of the committee.
He explained that he did aet-~ash
to become SO connected with the com
mittee that ne could not present a
minority report on the platform to
the convention. The committee hao
been sent TO request him to take the
place. but he declined. His own seiec~
ton, John W. Kern. OF Indiana. was
unsnimo usly elected to the place.
Following the adoption or the
BRYAN motion the committee ADJOURN
ed until o'clock. AT that time
Chairman Kern WAS to appoint
subcommittee of four 10 begin WORK
on a draft OF a platform -.
Both Mr.. Bryan ana Mf. hoFh ~"l
be on this committee. This means
that Bryan will dominate and a pro,
xressive platform may be expected
with no opposition in the resolutions
committee.
There was considerable debate on
the Bryan motion, the opposition
coming chiefly from Senator clark,
Of Arkansas. Senator Rayner aided
Bryan in pressing the point.
1t was declared that the move was
unprecedented. Bryan had READY
answer. He declared that 1t was
then a good time TO esta blish prece-
dent.
The roff wss called and Bryan re-
cetved forty-one votes, Only eleven
opposed him. He was pleased.
The next move was the onering OF
a resolution by c. II. Culberson, OF
Texas. calling upon the chairman &c
appoirt a sub committee OF -FOUR t'
begin work on a draft OF the piat.
form. A motion to adjourn was pn'
and carried

member that II was ever done before.
II means that we can draw UP plat
form for the party and not for the
nominee. Under this rule we would
not have to change the platform to
suit the nominee.
There have been times IN national
conventions when the platform mas
been drawn up before the nominee
pap named and then had 10 be

happened one year when | was not

II expect to help" replied Mr.
Bryan. II expect TO be one of tine

idea is that II should not become pub

Chairman Kern later decided to
name eleven men on the sup-commit-

BRYAN and Nardaman went into
consultation with Chairman Kern IN

Jennings Bryan admitted today that
he had received an emissary from the
new progressive party.
This emisssry was Francis J. Hem

publican convention In Chicago. To
Mr.. Heney IS credited prominent

Bryan was seen at his hotel this

scout at the rapport that Clark can be

that account they say that after the
Clark delegates begin TO leace him

They figure that the yan-Murphy-

when Hearst finds out that he cannot
nominate Clark, he will have to sup

tied the building.
They were given a royal reception
by H. E. Brandt, the manager and

showing the guests marked courtesies
The ladies were given flowers and the

The telephone exchange was one
of the most interesting sights and
many were delighted with the ex-
planation Of the intricate workings
Of this branch.
The Consumers Power Co. have
given Minot a plant Of which we are
all proud. The company's improve
,nents during the past year and half
have exceeded $15o,o00. Few cities
the size of Minot in the United

Twenty.six Year Old Land That He

In the valley less than a mile east
Ct the city on the Tostel E. Boe
farm, there is a field of fax so rank
that common binder will not handle
it. Mr.. Boe is thinking of cutting
it with a mower with fax attach
ment. The strange part of this is
that this same field has grown crops
continuously ever since 1886 without
being manured or seeded down once.
It seems that soil will hardly wear
out in North Dakota. Mr.. Boe has
three quarters of fine land and has
lived on his farm for fourteen years.

steaded one quarter, learning by acct
dent that it had not been filed on.
One of the quarters was bought from
Peter Bjerka, who had been unlucky
in prospecting for gold in Alaska, and
who now lives on a ten acre tract in
an island in Puget sound. Mr. Boe
has forty acres of fine timber land
and has refused SIPS an acre for a
portion Of his farm.
