the list OF those who will respond TO

termined. there will be no Nebraskans

affair decided TO take no chances Of
any designing persons smuggling a po-
Htical bomb into tine meeting and touch
ing q off when the feast was the mer-
riest. I.a
/ Mr.. Bryan's friends realized that the
political situation in Nebraska, from a
democratic point Of view. is fraught
with just such possibilities and several
prominent members Of the party are
suspected Of being more than willing to
pull off some stunt, II given a chance.
Hence only outsiders VIII be Permitted

The speakers list Is not made up. II IL
said, but several democrats Of national
prominence are certain to be among them
1t will be a matter Of interest to see who
Of the many democratic candidates will
be present, or rather which of them will
absent themselves. The fOrethought Of
those managing the affair Is again mani
fest by the advance announcement that
the absence Of any candidate will not
be taken as an unfriendly act as it Is
known that circumstances Will prevent
all from attending" Just the same It
wilf>be interesting to note the absenteez.
Friends Of Mr.. Bryan assert the banquet
will be the great progressive democratic
meeting Of the pre-eonyenton period and
the speakers are expected 10 sound the
