1HE GREAT COWI NER LOSES ON TEST VOT DEFEAT OF BRYAVS AMENDNE-i GREETED WITH CHEERS. The "Peerless One" May be Depos( as Democratic Leader of Ne biaska. Grand Island, Neb., July 26.-Am a tumult of cheers from the form followers of Wm. 'Jennings Brya permanent Chairman Smyth, of U Democratic platform convention, t day read the result of a test vote the gathtering, which practically to< from Mr. Bryan the Democratic lea ership of Nebraska, which he h; maintained for fourteen years. The vote came on a motion made 1 Congressman G. M. Hitchcock, a ca didate for the senatorial nominatio which in effect was to eliminate t1 introduction of platform planks wi accompanying speeches, unless su mitted as a section of the majori or minority report of the committ on resolutions. Mr. Bryan, seated a member of the Lancaster coun delegation, was on his feet immediat ly with a protest and offered o amendment that would modify th intent of the original motion. TI Bryan adherents denounced the Hite cock motion as "gag rule," and the opponents declared that . "individu rule" must not prevail. Chairmo Smyth ordered a roll call on t1 amendment. When two-thirds hc been called, opponents of Mr. BryE realized that he was defeated and wave of cheers that drowned the r< call began. Vote Unfavorable to Bryan. As Chairman Symth read the r sult, 436 against Mr. Bryan's amen ment to 394 in favor of it, the del gates sounded a fresh volume cheers that seemed to indicate the relief from the uncertainty that hE existed as to the strength which 1M Bryan might develop in the conve tion. The original motion of Mr. Hite cock then was adopted. The action of the convention prac1 cally prohibits any speech from I Bryan unless, as a member of tl resolutions committee, he shou speak on one of the planks offered 1 the committee to the convention. Gn ernor Shallenberger and Mayor L man, of Omaha, rivals for nominati< for governor, addressed the conve tion and hurled verbal shafts at ea< other. Makes a Promise. Governor Shallenberger promis' the delegates that if re-elected toget er with a Democratic legislature, would give them opportunity, throul legislative action, to settle the salo' question definitely. The convention took a recess un 8 o'clock to await the report of ti committee on resolutions. In beginning his address Mr. Smy said: "For many years we were told tb the tariff was passed in the interE of the laboring man, and the laboril man believed it, but he knows bett now. He knows, and so do the me chant and the farmer and the peof in general, that not one dollar of t fund raised through the tariff go to the laboring man's benefit; that i stead it is used to create multi-in lionaires and purchase rotten tit] of a still more rotten nobility f silly American girls. "The country knows how well 3 Taft and his party have kept th< promise on the tariff question. Nev was there a more flagrant betrayal a great public trust." Bryan's Candidate Speaks. The differences of the Shallenbe ger and Dahlman factions on the mi or 'points of the platform did not pI vent a solid front by them against t county option issue, of which Mr. Br an was the only sponsor. At the opening of the raging sessi, former Senator W. R. Patrick, t Bryan candidate for governor, to the platform and openly defied the c ponents of Mr. Bryan. He dedlar that failure to adopt the county plal meant certain, defeat at the polls. ] attacked Shallenberger and May Dahlman until cautioned by Chairm; Smyth. He declares that Bryan w the only man who did or could le the army to Democratic victory. Majority Report Adopted. The committee on resolutions 1 ported at the close of Mr. Patric] speec hand the majority report w read. There was unanimity of opi ion on every phase save one, and adoption was asked. The plank in dispute was: "We heartily approve of the da light saloon law and we commend t courageous action of Governor STh lenberger in approving it." The plank was adopt~ed by a vote 710 to 163. It was then announced that tx minority reports would be submitt( one by W. J. Bryan and the other "We favor county optLion as the best E niethod of dealing with the liquoi question." That of Mr. Flenharty was: "We favor local opzIon as now pro ided for by law, but are opposed to 'county option." The majority plank on the liquor question, favored by five of the seven members, then was read as follows: id "We are opposed to making county option or any other plan for the regu n. lation of the liquor traffic a question e Of party creed. We stand for and in D sist upon strict endorsement of our :f present laws and believe that any fur >k ther changes in our liquor legislation - should be decided by a direct vote of is the people, and that the cause of good government and public morals will yy e better served in that way than by a- dividing the people into hostile fac n, tions on purely moral issues." ie Bryan Addresses Convention. 1h Speeches were made by the spon b- sors of thei)lanks, and the convention Ly then settled down to the final battle. e Mr. Bryan, speaking from the plat t form in behalf of the minority plank Y presented by him, was greeted by e-shouts of applause and was listened Ln to in silence. He said in part: "If I have advocated that which is not good for the State, let me feel your . wrath. If you find I have done any thing that is not for the good of the al Democratic party, I do not ask your L mercy. Who, less than I, could de ie sire to disrupt the Democratic party. d Am I not aware what a repudiation at your hands will mean to me? a 1l1 "It has been said that I am making this fight because I am not a can didate. Nothing could be more un true." Attacked by "Political Assassins." Mr. Bryan here referred to the poli tical battles he had waged and declar ir ed that he had been fearless when his Ld own future seemed at stake. Con r. tinuing, he said: "I have been called a dictator for expressing my opinion. Your candi dates here today haxe expressed their sentiments. By what law am I com pelled to remain silent when I feel r. that the good name of my State is at 1e stake? ld "It has been said that I am aggriev yed because I have been sold out by the -liquor interests in my own State. I LI. have been sold out by these liquor m Democrats in my own State, and say a. ed by the votes of self-respecting Re h publicans who refused to aid in it. "I expect to be in politics for many years yet. I expect to aid in the work dof the Democratic party, but I will not remain silent when a band of po litical assassins attack me.'
