Former Congressman Charles A. Towne of Duiuth is a candidate for tne Demo
cratic nomination for vie president Judge Caldwell of Arkansas has declined to
permit the uso of his name in that connection, and Mr. Towns's candidacy is pre
dicted on tbe judge's declination. Tbe demand for Mr. Towne's nomination is
said to come from the gold Democrats and Republican anti-imperialists of New
England, who were charmed with bis eloquence on his recent tour through that
country, and his diplomatic handling of th situation. It is asserted that Mr.
Bryan would be glad to bav Town for a running mate. Senator Pettigmw ia
another supporter. His programme is to

mitte, which would later indorse tb Democratic ticket namod at Kansas City,
