dential nominee despite the fact that
they have received word Indirectly
from Mr. Bryan that he does not want

it advisable for the party to place a
ticket in the field for the coming
election.
The only thing' that can avert an
attempt by a large group of dele
gates to stampede the convention for
Bryan and name him by acclamation
is for the Nebraskan himself to sena
word Chat he positively will not ac
cept the nomination, according to
many state leaders. A telegram was
sent to Mr. Bryan tolay informing
him that unless such a statement is
forthcoming his supporters will at
tempt to carry out their plans of plac
ing him before the people on the dry
em platform that can be framed.

the nomination on Mr. Bryan wa
made late today after several secret
conferences of national committee
men, delegates and friends of Mr.

tional secret conferences were held
and the decision made to let Mr.

could avoid being nominated Would
be to send direct word himself.
Dan A. Poling Is Strong;.
The lapse in the Bryan boom dur
ing the early hours today revealed
that Dan A. Poling of New York,
acting international president of the
Christian Endeavor, will have con
siderable strength, as many delega
tions announced . him as their second
choice-. Bryan being first.
Besides the usual dry planks, the
platform committee will have before
it proposed planks on several other
subjects. Among these will be planks
advocating public ownership of rail
roads and public utilities, a world
tribunal to settle international dis
putes, "friendly co-operation" with
Mexico rather than "hostile interfer
ence," federal anti-lynching laws and
one dealing with labor problems.
Warren D. Stone, grand chief of
the Order of Railway Engineers, has
prepared a labor plank. An anti
tobacco plank to be proposed by "a
Colorado delegate is not likely to re
ceive serious consideration, according
to committeemen.
The national committee today voted
to recommend to the convention that
in future each state name one man
and one woman as members of the
party's national committee. The meet
ing was open to all. and a score of
delegates spoke.
The proposal, introduced by Robert
Patton, Illinois state chairman, was
attacked by B. E. P. Prugh, Penn
sylvania state chairman of the party.
and by G. W. Dean of Wisconsin.
Dean asserted that the party had
no women members in Wisconsin
who were suitable for membership
on the national committee.

Why heels" wear down
like this
This condition is not dne to sloven
liness. It iscau8ed by a distortion
of the outer longitudinal arch and a
misalignment of the heel Ijpne.
Under the weight of the body the
ankle leans outward, causing the
heel to wear down unevenly.
The frame thus becomes unbalanced,
causing strain which may affect the
foot, calf, knee, hip and spine. Pains
resulting are often mistaken for
growing pains in children, and sci
atica, lumbago or rheumatism in
adults.
This condition can be completely
overcame by counterbalancing the
foot and supporting the dislocated
bones in normal position by means
of the Wizard Lightfoot Adjustable
Arch Builders and Heel Levelers.
Beneath these all -leather Arch
Builders and Heel Levelers are over
lapping pockets, so located that in-
serts of any desired thickness can btf
placed in exactly the right spot to
support the. dislocated bones in nor
mal position. Adjustments are
simply made by shifting inserts or
changing their thickness.
Being all leather, Wizard Lightfoot
Adjustable Arch Builders and Heel
Levelers are light, flexible and are
worn without one being conscious of
them.
Wizard Lightfoot Arch' Builders
and Heel Levelers are sold by lead
ing dealers everywhere. Usually
where they are sold there is an ex
pert who has made a study of fitting
them.
If there is no such dealer near you,
