"A delegate. Mr.. Bryan"
The chairman: There is nothing
in order. The gentleman is explain
ing his vote. The gentleman must be
seated"
A delegate then asked that the
secretary read the paper but his mo-
ton was not entertained by the chair.
Mr.. Bryan then read the following:
Nebraska is a progressive state.
Only twice has she given her vote
for a democratic candidate for presi-
dent--in 1896 and in 190S--and on
both occasions her vote was cast for
a progressive ticket running upon a
platform. Between these
two elections in the election of 1904
she gave republican plurality Of
$4,000 against democratic reac-
tionary.
I'm the recent primary the total
vote cast for Clark and Wilson was
over $4,000 and the vote cast for Har-
mon something over 10000. showing
that the party Is now more than
or about three-fourths,
The republican party of
Nebraska is progressive in about the
same proportion.
And the situation In Nebraska Is
not materially different from the situ-
alton throughout the country west OF
the Alleghenys. In the recent pri-
lnaries fully two-thirds of the repub-
lican vote was cast for candidates re-
policies.
In this convention the progressive
sentiment is overwhelming. Every
candidate has declared himself pro-
candidate would have
any considerable following in this
If he admitted himself out
If harmony with progressive ideas.
BY your resolutions, adopted night

Belmont or any other member of the
privilege seeking. favor-hunting class.
This pledge If kept will have more
influence on the result Of the election
han the platform or the name of the
'andidate. How can that pledge be
made effective? There is but one
way. namely: To nominate candi-
late who is under no obligation to
hose whom these influences directly
control.
''The vote of the state of New York
