Bryan'S Influence.

Bryan is the man of the hour. 1t
is believed that he can control 80 of
the national committee votes against
Parker at the meeting to day.
Sentiment for the Nebraskan, which
has always been characterized by its
irrepressibility when it appeared, is
surging high. That he can have the
nomination if he wants it there is
little doubt. The Wilson people as
sert confidently that Bryan will make
no move for the nomination and will
discourage any attempt to throw it
to him, that he will support Wilson
and Wilson's nomination is more
than certain that at any time in the
fight they say. (
Shortly after the arrival of the
Kentucky delegation this morning.
Governor McCreary. who favors Viii
son. and his assistants, among whom
is Col. John c. c, Mayo, who defeat
ed Urey Woodson for the national
committee seat, went to their head
quarters in house at 1887 st Paul
street. Both Governor McCreary
and Colonel Mayo said the question
of the temporary Craftsmanship has
not been touched upon by the Ken
lucky delegation. although the entire
delegation is instructed solidly for

the Weather Bureau at Washington:
The pressure distribution over the

that the present week will be one of
warm and generally fair weather
over the Northern and Middle States
east of the Rocky Mountains, while
in the Southern States and general
ly west of the Rocky Mountains tenn
peratures will average near the nor.

Lucian Cayce was going up Main

as slow rate of speed as possible.
At Seventh street he met a small
colored boy in a 1-horse wagon. Mr..
Cayce, as he thought, had passed
the wagon, but hearing a noise IN
the rear of his car looked around
and observed that one of the boys
hind wheels had struck one of his
wheels, injuring the wagon to the
amount Of $3.50. which Mr.. Cayee
paid. The boy stated that he has
not been hurt. Careless drivers
should not forget that when a one

dedicated to-day. In the presence
of perhaps five hundred men, some
of them recognized leaders of the
movement, others merely onlookers,
the first formal step was taken.

this was done.

fash in the pan are mistaken"
In the opinion Of the leaders the
new party enters the field with a
formidable equipment. These lead
ers, however. said that as to the
men who took a conspicuous part in
the campaign for Colonel Roosevelt's
nomination, each must speak for
himself.
The attitude of Governor Hadley.
Of Missouri. was the chief point of
discussion along this line. The Gov
ernor left town without waiting to
declare himself.
LONG INTERREGNUM.
No definite idea Of the plan to be
followed could be obtained. and il
was said several weeks may elspse
before the program is decided upon,
Governor Johnson in the meantime
will act as field marshal and in CO.
operation with Col. Roosevelt will
decide upon the membership of the
committee Of seven and guide the
preliminary work of organization.

The bandanna handkerchief was
adopted as the Roosevelt battle
flag" Most of the delegates wore
flaming bandannas tied around their
arms and others we're distributed by
the hundreds to the crowd. The
bandanna. it was explained, stands
for the plain people who ordinarily
use them.
