Bryan Nominates Ken for Temporary

Senator Kerp for temporary chairman,
a lengthy speech, exclaimed: ,rWe
are writing history today and the coun-
try is waiting to hear whether this
convention will follow that of Ohicago
i listening to the voice of predatory
e^lth.” He said ‘the people had not
forgotten the promises of campaign
funds from Wall street eight years ago.
Continuing, Bryan said: “This is
no time' for a campaign of pleasant
words and smooth phrases, we need
not deceive ourselves with that which
is done in a national convention is due
to secrecy. Delegates to this conven-
tion must not presume on the igno-
rance of the people who did not come.
Those people will know that the Influ-
ence that dominated the Chicago con-
vention had made it a farce are here
and more brazenly at work than they
were in Chicago." Bryan closed after
forty minutes.
Kern took the platform amid mild
applause and proposed that he and man were designated today to write a
Parker unite on Senator O'Gorman for platform for the resolutions commit-
been named, and the committee adopt-
ed this motion by a vote of forty one
to nine, and it will be so recommended
to the convention. f

man there, but tor tome reason he waa
pulled off. Of course, aa we mo tt.
the company was in no way responsi-
ble tor the accident Monday night.-un-
less it was because of the abseaot of
