Arthur Mullen precipitated a warm
debate by Introducing a resolution pro
viding for selection of alternates by
district delegates from each district
and of the alternates at large by the
full committee. Several members of
the committee advocated the selection
of alternates whose names had boen
written In on the primary ballot.
Mr. Bryan proposed that each dele
gate select his own alternate. He
said, "as a progressive Democrat, I do
not want any set of men to select for
my alternate a reactionary Democrat."
Judge Tibbets fell In with Mr. Bryan
on the matter and moved that Mr.
Mullen's resolution bo amended to
meet Mr. Bryan's plan. George Rog
ers of Omaha suggested that the alter
nate be Chninp Clark men Inasmuch
as the state had Indorsed Clark.
Mr. Mullen asked what would be
done about alternates elected at the
primary who had already been Issued
certificates.
Mr. Bryan offered to fix matters all
right with the men selected
Mullen then moved another amend
mcnt that tho alternates selected be
pledged to Champ Clark.
Mr. Cowen of Stanton shouted:
"How about those delegates elected
for Harmon."
Mr. Cowen then brought peace by
making a motion that the alternates
be Instructed to vote the same as
their delegates were Instructed.
The following delogates being pres
ent announced their alternates:
P. W. Shea, W. E. Uehling of
franklin, V. T. Swanson, Lem Tib
betts of Hastings.
W. H. Thompson of Grand Island
