Look ing crushed, William Jennings Bryan stood on the floor of the democratic state convention early' this me-ning after he had lost the fight for control of his party In Nebraska, and inti mated that he would not make any further attempts to direct democratic affairs. Bryan said afterward that he expected defeat but expected to win a compromise. The general concensus of opinion is that Bryan's leadership days are over. The platform adopted condemns the tariff bill, Taft's administration, and recommends a daylight liquor law In Eutno county, the option plank for which Bryan fought The arraignment of the present re publican administration is the strong feature of the platform as it per tains to national issues. It strongly endorses the last national democratic platform and the present state ad ministration and continues: "We congratulate the party upoa the widespread revival of democratic sentiment which gives promise of a democratic victory. "We congratulate the country that democratic opposition has thus far I succeeded in defeating the iniquitous snip suDsuy. "We recognize in the many exces sive rates on such favored product! as steel, woolen goods, rubber, lumber and" others, the return the republican politicians are making to the blund ering trusts for campaign contribu tions two years ago. Condemn President. "We condemn the president for sur rendering to Aldrlch and Cannon the control of tariff revision and for using his patronage to force unwilling con gressmen of the republican party to accept their dictation. We deplore the president's folly nnd weakness in sur rounding himself with a cabinet of tnist advisers.

"We join the democrats everywhere In pledging the party to the cause of tariff reform, economy and simplic ity in government, trust prosecution and the ratification of the income tax amendment." The attitude of many of Mr. Bry an's former lieutenants toward Mm was evidenced in speeches of several who addressed the convention after him. His reference to "assassins" In the party was frequently referred to nn 1 ns each speaker denounced his present position the cheers of the del egates showed that the appeal rf Mr. rryan hnl been Ineffectual. The vote Vy which Ms county option nip r It was rejected was not taken until after mi.! night. It was decisively against the acceptance of the measure. Lfr.
