CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, March 24. The Bryan Democrats controlled tha state convention here today. The object of the convention was to select delegates to represent Iowa at tha Democratic national convention in Denver next July. The leader of the opposition to Bryan centered In the person of State Chairman Miller. After he had learned of the temper of tho convention he announced that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself aa state chairman, neither would he ba a candidate for delegate to tho Denver convention. It to reasonably certain that resolutions will be adopted strongly advocating the nomination of Mr. Bryan. |
