| 1udt bryan VIII carry the nSnt
for the temporary chairman to the
floor of the convention now seems
assured.
Efforts to come to an amicable
agreement on this question failed to-
day when the committee appointed
at the opening session of the ma
tional committee conferred with
Bryan and others in an endeav0r to
prevent fight at the beginning
The debate over the temporary
Craftsmanship was brief.
Committeeman Talbot of Mary
land, severely criticized Bryan and
said the Nebraskan had assumed the
role of dictator to the democratic
party and he would not submit to
the dictation of "this man or any
one man"
Senator Newlands who was sitting
in the committee by proxy, defended
Bryan.
He declared that he would not
yield to the dictation Of any one
man, but he did not regard Bryan as
a dictator but as a representative of
the progressive principles endorsed
by the democratic party
Urey Woodson, Of Kentucky, voted
against Ollie James and explained
J that Kentucky did not wish to place
James name before the committee,
that the kentucky delegation had
such instructions and he had been
assured by James that he was not
candidate for the place.
Robert Ewing of Louisiana, nomi-
mated James.
Edward G. Goltra, Of Missouri.
Clark man, explained that he voted
for James because he was supporting
Clark
This is taken by many to mean
that the Bryan forces in the conven-
tion will receive he assistance of
the Clark supporters when the fight
against Parker is taken to the floor
of the convention tomorrow.
Bryan Will Not Recede.
All hope of settling the question
of the chairmanship without con-
test is at end. The issue will be the
alleged conservatism of Parker as
opposed to the progressiveism which
Bryan declares should prevail.
Efforts of the national committee
to placate Bryan proved unavailing
He would not recede from the po-
sition he has taken, and he is pre-
rared to take the fight into the con-
vention and to rally all the progress
sives to his standard in his opposi-
tion 0 Parker
The Nebraskan announced today
that if no other progressive could
be prevailed upon to enter the race
for temporary chairman he would be-
come candidate himself in opposi-
tion TO Parker. He stood out today
as the dominant figure of the con-
ven ion.
All contingencies Of the future, in
cluding the nomination OF the pres
idential candidate. are deemed to
hinge upon what he will do.
Bryan and Wilson.
The impression continues to be
more marked that Bryan may ulti-
mately be the presidential nominee.
Among his friends .onight the
sentiment appears TO be that they
will vote for him whether he Is form
. ally placed in nomination or not
They express the belief that he viii
be nominated if the voting goes Il
. the fourth or fifth ballot.
Some Of the Bryan men are bend
ling their efforts to effect coalition
of the Clark and Wilson forces. The,
are Talking of Bryan and Wilson a
a possible ticket.
