The auditorium was again packed with

Plenty uf Entertainment.
There was plenty of entertainment
for those who arrived early during the
hour or so in which they waited for th
opening of the session. Bands again
discoursed music, and the air thrilled
with the sounds of patriotic and popu

Two Women Excite interest.
Among these latter were two women
who excited more interest than others.
They were the daughters of two prom
nent men of the nation. One was Mrs.
Leavitt, daughter of V. J. Bryan; the
other was Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
daughter of President Roosevelt. But
those who fttrained their eyes to get a
sight of these two women were not
more interested than the women them
selves. One waits with joyful antici

the highest office in the nation; the
other's interest centers In the fact that
the nominee of this convention may
succeed her father in his high office.

that Kryan wi'.s not busy. Ills day

a cottage in close proximity to tk
Bryan homo for convention purposes a
special wire was run to his ollice, and
at his desk, near which the telegraph
operator had lxeri placed, Bryan spent
most of his time until the Denver con

To persistent Inquiries as to whether
he would go to the Denver convention
Bryan Ftated that at present lie had
no thought of doing so, and knew f n
contingency which might arise to tak"
him to Denver. "You cannot t'dl what
the future will bring forth," said he,
"but I know now of nothing which
will take me to the convention city.
Bryan watched the convention hullo
tins closely, and those reporting occa
sions which brought forth applause
from the big Denver gathering were
read with evident satisfaction and con
tented smiles, but not with looks of
surprise.
News from the- convention did not
prevent him. however, from taking a
deep interest in t lie harvesting of his
alfalfa crop, and he viewed with deep
concern the prospect of ils being gar

Patrick Ryan, who devotes his time to
making the Bryan farm productive, be

other hands raked it into haycocks. A
