Of the democratic delegates-at-large
to the democratic national conven-
ton, and with him as an antilHitch-
cock delegate-at-large is former Con-

er two delegates-at-large Nevilles and
Shallenberger, are of the Hitchcock
faction. OF the twelve district dele
gates, seven are said to be Bryan
men and five of the Hitchcock fac
ton.
The Nebraska presidential pref
erence law has cut queer capers, and
the situation is presented OF at least
two pronounced Wood men being
compelled to cast their votes for

the Pershing slate seem likely to go
the same performance, while
out at San Francisco probably nine
cock men must line them
selves for the Nebraska senator, save
Bryan, who announced in advance he
would refuse, if elected. to vote for
Hitchcock, but would allow his alter
nate to vote for him.
