primaries was asked by the county
central committee and all demo-
Gratis were urged To give freest eX.
preston to their sentiments. BRYAN,
Harmon and Gaynor received the
scattering votes for first choice and

of the party.
! In some of the precincts there
will be divided delegations. as there
was no attempt made by the advO-
Gates of any particular candidate to
force instructions. Where there

rank and lille of the party who are
elected to their offices of honor to
act as they think best for the party

TIE sentiment for Clark for
president among the democrats has
been growing rapidly Of late. As
one state after another declared for
the speaker OF the house of repre-
sentatives and one Colorado county

followed the general drift in their
choice for president.
As the situation lsas been demon
