Show THERE effle OTHERS who want bryan endorsed THE SILVER MEN LIKE HP populists about evenly divided there seems to be a firmer footing helu by the pro bryan people than by their opponents no man with the welfare of tha nation and its people at heart e will interfere with the probably ties of the union of silver forces st louis july 16 the battle between the factions of the populist party is growing fiercer and by next week wili be at white heat on one side it is a figh for the life of the organization on the other it Is a to secure a comprise in favor of the democratic standard bearer so far no state convention has declared in favor of an eland the best that has been done has been the ol 01 un instructed delegations this is notably the cabe at little aock ark philber at arms mcdowell went yea berday to present an argument approved by chairman the proposition presented by mr mcdowell who returned to st lonia today was in the form of an address reviewing the two sides of the question ob endorsement indorsement Indor of alie democrat ticket and was handled exclusively in the united press dispatches last eight mr mcdowell said today that ahad pre the proposition to the arkansas convention and that in hia opinion it had struck deep he looks upon second proposition electoral fusion as the only way to secure unity of action upon the issue of silver mr mcdowell along with mr and others of the official family are taking the ground that party organization preserved hon A D maxwell Max th state chairman in illinois and the biggest party leader in the state arrived today and said while it ia true that a great majority of the populists in favor of indorsing bryan said be it is with the belief that he will accent the populist platform and importance of the party both before and after the election the leaders of the peoples party know that thy ave more votes than the democrat in oregon north and south dakota wyoming oklahoma nebraska kansas colorado minnesota nevada and north carolina they also know the democrats can neither carry any of these states nor illinois indiana or iowa without the aid of the populist vole and knowing that they are not going to indorse bryan unless they atre assured that they will get what is them in the war of recognition they fear that though bryana intentions are all right in another four years hill and other rold leaders will effect a compromise in the democratic party and get back in the you can be assured that bryan will not be indorsed unless be will accept the populist nomination on the entire omaha platform and become our candidate as well as that of tho democracy 4 in spite of the strong showing made by the anti bryan wing the prediction is freely made that it will yo down to quick defeat when the main body of ther delegates reaches st louis only a few leaders have come in and delegates are evidently timing their departures fron their homes EO as to reach here jut in time to go into the convention there will be no marching chube no brass bands and very little of unusual excitement the notional executive committee which meets saturday will start rolling a boom for a middle of the road populist to preside as tern horary chairman of alio convention which will meet here wednesday next cyclone davie will probably the honor he was first choice of tho leaders in the city thursday next in OS v A THERE ARE OTHERS CONTINUED the race for alie honor of presiding aa temporary chairman is senator marion antler of north carolina the populist convention will be j slightly enlarged by increased representation from the territories indian territory alaska and oklahoma will be admitted to the membership will now bo 1300 if full quotas of delegates are bent the presa arrangement will be practically the same as those of the lican convention almost tho same seats acini assigned to the greater newspapers as batore WANTS TO peoples executive committee talks july 16 V 0 strickler a member of the national executive committee of hie peoples party was seen today by a representative of the united press and asked for his opinion as to the cours the peoples party would pursue at gt louis 1 I believe that the nominee of the chicago convention will be endorsed at tat louis it is jhb only thing the party can do the nomination of a separate ticket would result in dividing the silver vote and would be directly in the interests 0 mckinley and the gold standard such a course would demonstrate that populists are more loyal to their party than the people for which the party stands I 1 know that there are many true and noble men in the peoples party who had confidently expected that financial rearm would come through that organization but I 1 do not believe that there is any man in the party who Is so selfish as to oppose that reform merely because it docs not come through bis own party there is no personal sacrifice which they will not make in order to obtain relief from the terrible blight of gold to my mind it would be worse than folly to nominate a ticket man of standing in the party could be induced tu accent the nomination 1 I therefore believe that wisdom and alike dictate that persons who are opposed to the single gold standard should subordinate every other consideration and give to william J bryan the fullest possible support such a course would I 1 believe almost certainly result in his election and with him as president pre eident of the united states the beope may rest assured that no foreign government will be permitted to meddle in our private affairs or indicate the kind of laws that we should paes KANSAS SILVE RITES delegation to 51 louis instructed lo 10 vote as a unit to indorse bryan topeka kas july 10 the american silver party state
