It is probable a' bunch of Nebruskans will
make Uie trip to Denver to the democratic

Improbable the delegation will be a part
of the bunch. Th matter will be brought
up at the meeting of the Bryan Volunteers
Thursday night and in the meantime Dr.
P. L. Hall and others are creating aer.tl
ment in favor of this mode of travel. The
railroads have offered a rate of 116.75 from
Lincoln, so the committee has reported,
and rather than pay that much the Bryan
Volunteers believe they can get at least
M automobiles lined up for the trip, mak
ing of It not only an ideal outing, but a
great campaign in the Interest of Mr.
Bryan.
It is figured about three days ran be
devoted to the trip and no travel done at
night. Tills would give the enthusiasts an
opportunity to have a big democratic meet
ing at every stopping place. Dr. Hall be
lieves most of the automobile owners in
Lincoln would join in such a Hip and he
will be one of its strongest advocates at
the Thursday night meeting.
