BRYAN TWO TICKETS,

Chicago, June S.--Wiliam Jen-

cts for the convention by none other
than Victor Rosewater, chairman Of
the Republican National committee,
also Nebraskan.
1t is said certain others from thai
State were making merry over the
rumor that Mr. Bryan would not OBJ
tain a seat in the convention, be-
cause of the heavy demand for seats.
Mr.. Rosewater heard of the matter
and at once wrote NJ. Bryan as fol-
lows;
Il am enclosing you two tickets CT
admission to the coming national
convention Of the Republican party
One for yourself and one for Mrs

about Republican conventions as he
does about Democratic conventions

to their being decided on the same
arguments as had served in the case
of the four delegates-at-large
The two remaining Georgia dis
tricts went the same way. With
twenty-four delegates, sixteen from
Alabama and eight from Arkansas,
placed on the temporary roll of the
convention as the result of yester-
days hearing, today's work runs mp
a total of 72 added to the Taft list,

vened Thursday afternoon.
