BRYAN STRONG IN CALIFORNIA
Governor; Johnson in Omaha Gives
Views of Political Situation.
UNDESERVEDLY AGAINST TAP!
Western Statesman Declares that If
Peerleaa Leader Is Nominated
Therei Will Bo No Need
of a Third Party.
If William J. Bryan is nominated in
Batllmore, there will be no Roosevelt
party in the field this year, is the
opinion of Governor Johnson of Cali
fornia. The governor was In Omaha for
a few minutes yesterday on his way
home from the Chicago convention.
The governor of California denied that
he spoke with the authority of Colonel
Roosevelt but took the position that with
Bryan running there would be no neces
sity for a third party candidate. To a
friend he stated that he based his judg
ment on the facts that nearly all of
the principles contended for by Roosevelt
and Bryan are almost Identical and that
they could be subscribed to by both
progressive republicans and democrats
alike.
Against Taft Strong.
At the Union station Governor John
son met a number of friends and to them
made no reservation in saying that he is
not a supporter of President Taft. The
governor declared that notwithstanding
the fact that Taft secured the nomina
tion California republicans will be for a
progressive candidate at the election,
provided one is hi the field.
When informed that it appeared that
Bryan was in charge of the steam roller
at Baltimore and that he was running
it over the opposition, ignoring speed
limit' regulations, the governor . smiled
and ventured the opinion that the "Ne
braskan has not been ridden out of the
party to the extent - that has been
claimed."
"Bryan stands for the principles for
which Caltfonlans contend ana for whioh
they contended when we elected our dele
gates at the direct primaries, giving them
majorities ot 76,000 or thereabouts. Now,
representing and standing for those
those principles, there is no valid reason
why California republicans should not
be for Mr.' Bryan, and I wtfuld not be
In the least surprised if many of them
voted tor him if he is the nominee."
Railroad Man Likes
to Haul the Women
Henry A. Gross, general agent- of the
passenger department of the Northwest
ern, with headquarters In Chicago, is in
town, on his way back from San. Fran
olsco. Mr. Gross was in charge of a
special train, all of the passengers on
which were women. They were on their
way to the national convention of the
Federation ot Women's clubs. Speaking
of them Mr. Gross said:
"I have run hundreds of special trains
and have carried all kinds and classes of
people. In my experience I never had
such a nice lot of people. They did not
bother me with foolish questions and they
were not half as exacting, annoying and
finicky as that many men would have
been."

pledge Its Support.
ALL OHIO VOTES T0B HARMON
Kentucky Delegates Decide to 8m

mltteo for Temporary
Chairman.
Persistent Advertising is the Road to
Big Returns.
BALTIMORE, June 25. -Although senti
ment in the Georgia delegation was said
to be prsctlcally unanimous In favor of
Judge Parker for temporary chairman,
the caucus of that delegation today ac
cepted the advice of its national commit
teeman. Clark Howell, and declined to
adopt a resolution pledging Its support
The Georgians agreed to follow the lead
ef Mr. Howell in the chairmanship fight.
Mr. Howell will be proposed by the
Georgia delegation for the vice presi
dential nomination. Earlier in the day
they presented him with a loving cup.
An absentee among the Georgians was
Thomas E. Watson, twice populist candi
date for president, who now is recognised
as controlling the balance of power
among the democrats in Georgia. When
Mr. Watson was elected as delegate-at-large
by the state convention last month
he promised to "go to Bsltlmore and
lock horns with Bryan." He is reported
to be ill with ptomaine poisoning at his
home, i v -
Thomas B. Felder, another delegate-at-large,
did not come with the delegation,
but arrived later from Atlanta by way
of Cincinnati. Several years ago Mr.
Felder proseouted some alleged dispensary
fraud cases In South Carolina, recovering
a large sum of money for the state.
Folder's action in these cases started a
feud between him and Governor Blease,
who has repeatedly attempted to have
Mr. Felder extradited on counter charges.
When he learned of Folder's election as
a delegate he announced that Felder
would be arrested on long standing war
rants if (he passed through South Carolina
with the Georgia delegation. Mr. Felder
believed Blease would do it and came by
way of Cincinnati.
Ohio Solid for Harmon.
Governor Judson Harmon will receive
the complete vote of the Ohio delegation.
The unit rule was adopted tonight at a
caucus enlivened by several sharp con
tests, all ot which were led by friends
of William Jennings Bryan under the
direction of Mayor Newton D. Baker of
Cleveland. .
The unit rule was put in force by a
vote of 27 to 19 and a motion endorsing
Mr. Bryan's fight sgainst Judge Parker
of New Tori? for temporary chairman
was laid on the table, 27 to 19. The slate
of the Harmon men for national com
mitteemen and for other appointments
was carried by. substantially the same
division. ,.
.New Hampshire Divided.
The Wew Hampshire delegation spent
much of the day In formal caucus dis
cussing the chairmanship. The dele
gation was not instructed by the con
vention which named its members, but
the resolutions adopted expressed a
preference for Clark. Tonight C. E,
Carr, chairman ot the delegation, ex
pressed the opinion that five ot the eight
delegates favored voting tor Wilson on
the second ballot.
Kentucky for Parker,
The Kentucky delegation at its caucus
today decided to support the choice ot
the national committee for temporary
chairman of the democratlo national con
vention. Nineteen of the. delegates voted
for this action, including Governor Mo
Creary, chairman of the delegation.
There were seven negative votes, includ
ing that of Senator-elect OUle M. James,
who had himself been a candidate against
Judge Alton B. Parker for the temporary
chairmanship.
Mr. James endeavored to secure post
ponement of a vote, insisting it would
be improper to "blindfold" the delega
tion by such a vote. After his motion to
postpone aotlon was defeated, he served
notice that if the choice of the national
committee for temporary chairman of
the convention was not satisfactory to
him, he would call for a poll ot the del
egation upon the floor of the convention
upon the Question.
Texas Proarresalve.
The Texas delegates met tonight and
after a brief discussion, adopted a letter
asking their national committeeman to
vote for s progressive candidate for tem
porary chairman of the convention. Th

lieved, in the Interest of William J.
Bryan's fight on the selection of Judge
Parker as temporary chairman, was de
feated at a caucus of delegates tonight
George W. Fit Man. selected by the del
egation to serve on the convention com
mittee on resolutions and platform, of
fered the resolution to absolve the Illi
nois delegates from observance of the
unit rule, adopted by the Peoria conven
tion. Chairman Boeschenstein ruled Mr. 51th
lan out ot order. The latter appealed
flora the chairman's decision but was
beaten by a large majority.
Massachusetts Vndeclded.
All efforts to ascertain the presidential
choice of Individual members of the Mas
sachusetts delegation proved futile today.
As a result only two members ot the del
egation were appointed to the convention
committees. There were Frank Donohue
to credentials and David L Welch to
platform and resolutions.
The thirty-six delegates are badly di
vided in their allegiance to the various
candidates for the presidential nomina
tion. It Is expected a majority of the dele
gates will vote for Governor Foss on the
first ballot.

Long Distance Telephone
CONVENTION BULLETINS
A Vindication of Universal Service
The universal usefulness of comprehensive and country-wide
. Bell Telephone service, has been shown as never before at the
Chicago Convention last week and at the Baltimore Convention
this week, in giving the people everywhere lucid, complete and
almost instantaneous reports direct from the Convention halls.
Bell Telephone service has been an intimate and integral part of the news
service of both National Conventions. In the larger towns where the daily
papers issued frequent "extras," with complete stories of the developments
from hour to hour, the telephone dispatches were intended only to supple
ment the press accounts, but in the smaller towns the telephone bulletins
furnished the only information hundreds of thousands of people got for
hours after the news had reached the residents of the metropolitan centers.
The telephone reports of the events of those two great political gather
ings mark an epoch in news distribution by telephone," and as a telephone
achievement, serves to mark the pasing point of progress which alone
could Have been reached by a service which has country-wide extensions.
It was an object lesson to those who are interested in the development of the
telephone to the highest level of usefulness to the public.
Every subscriber to Bell service becomes a member of a great country
wide federation of telephone users, capable of a direct and immediate ex
change of ideas, revolutionizing social and business methods. Such a serv
ice as that furnished the public during the two conventions emphasizes the
value of federation in telephone work and of the necessity of close co-operation,
that will assure inter-communication to people of every village city
and state throughout the nation.
