W. J. BRYAN STILL
DOMINANT FIGURE
tain of nomination is no’ a certain-
ty by any means. Bryan, counted a
Clark supporter at first, has given
no sign whether he Is still impressed
that way or not after the mauling
given him yesterday by the Murphy-
Taggart crowd with the- Clark lead
era' assistance. V Clark himself un-
dertook to steer clear of the contest,
but it was of deep significance that
almost every one of his leaders lin-
ed up with the react onary elements,
while the Wilson following. on the
contrary, almost to a man Ijned up
behind Bryan -or the chairmanship
Many of Clark s delegates, too—al-
most 200 of them in fart—voted for
Bryan, and some of them today were
mighty "aore" over the result, a few
of them includ ng Clark in their feel
Ings.
Much Talk of a Dark Horse.
Another significant"feature ot
today-, development* lies in the fact
that while last night the talk ’as
counter j largely of Clark, today it has been
largely of a dark horse with Kern
of Ind ana leading in the talk and
'Gaynor also prominently mentioned.
• Not a few of Bryan’s friends seem
wholly confident tha* unless' the
nomination is made on the'first few
ballots, the Nebraskan will land it
Apprehenh on
a not incon-
siderable figure in the defeat of
i Bryan yesterday, some of his friends
loving him but not desiring h m for
i the standard-bearen. believing his
i defeat to be the easiest means to in-
sure his not being the nomJnee.
IA<d|ette-Bryan Conference?
Antoher sensation exploded today
came tn the annuoncement that Sen-
Mor LaFollette. late candidate for
the presidency, was here yesterday
and last nght That be was in a
lengthy conference with Bryan was
also reported, but not substantiated
authoritatively. The und'sputed
fact that H^ney and Crane. Roose-
velt men. were here last night to
confer with Bryan, the details of '
the conference, however, being un- |
session of the National
convention was very short and
account of the business
thereat Js even shorter,
vent loti met at 12:21 and adjourn-
ed at 2:17, after Iteing Informed thai
the Credential* committee would
not be ready to report before to-
night. Adjournment was taken u>>
til 8 o'clock.
Much HUNinee* Outside Convention.
But outside the convention there
was much to do The refusal ot Wm.
J. Bryan to accept the chairman-
ship of the Platform committee was
the feature ot the day. The Nebras-
kan s declaration that unless the
platform committee report was in
line with progressive ideas he would
submit a minority report and make
a fight for it on the contention floor
was another. In fact, outside the
convent on ball, it was a day of sen-,
saticas—with rumors and
tumors flying thick.
