J BRYAN TO TAKE GHARGE OF COMMITTEE (Continued from ‘Page One.) could be no immediate solution of the problem. Hopeless and weary, the committee members wero, summoned ‘in prayer on their departure by the great com- moner, who for hours had waged an earnest fight against what he re- peatedly declared was an issue that net only would rend the party, but would array man against man. Before seeking rest, the committee directed Chairman Homer 8. Cum- mings to notify the convention that the resolutions committee had been unable to complete the party declara- tion for 1924 and to ask for an ad- journment of the conven! from 930 o'clock until three o’c& this afternoon, Meanwhile, the committee will meet at 7:30 p. m. to receive the re- port, of Mr. Bryan, who was clothed with full authority to bring about a settlement satisfactory to the c6m- mittee and—it, wag hoped—to the convention. Before coming to the Klan issue, the committee approyed a plank proposing a referendum on the- lea- Bue of nations and pledging the party to a policy of co-operation with the other nations in the promo- tion of world peace. This plan was the subject of five hours of discus- sion, with Newton D. Baker, secre- of war under Woodrow Wilson, ending to the last for a repett mn of the 1920 declaration calling for immediate American membership in the league, ‘The former war secretary prepared a: rough draft of a minority report, but when the committee adjourned he had not reached a final decision as to whether he would present it to the, convention, Three Klan planks were consider- ed. One by Bryan omitted the name of the invisible empire; a second, which was a composite draft on the suggestions of several of the anti- Klan leaders, denounced the Klan by name, and the third, which was presented by the member from Ala- ama, referred to as the “know noth b ing rty” recalled that the Demo crats had denounced that organiza- tion in 1856 and declared that there Was no reason now why it should not specifically oppose the Ku Klux Klan. The composite planks, which had the support of a majority in the platform committee says: “We condemn political secret societies of all kinds as opposed to the exercise of free government and contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter of the constitution. No mem- ber of such society can justly claim to be a disciple of Thomas Jefferson. “We therefore pledge the Demo- cratic party to oppose the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan or any similar or- ganization that interferes with poll!- tical: treedom or religious liberty or which engenders racial prejudices.” The devotion of the Democratic party to religious freedom as quaran- teed under the constitution is reat- in the Bryan plank, which no specific mention of the With -these three planks before them, the members of the committee decided to follow the same procedure as in the debate on the league, allot- ing five minutes to each speaker with the exception of Bryan and entative Finis J. Garrett of the party leader in the house, who were voted as much time os they might care to take. Opening the debate, Bryan sald he did not believe the Klan was a neces- sary or permanent organisation nd that if left alone it would be for tten four years from now.

Kellogg, the member Duncan is al} In. his frana new, great big “‘bar- rel,” built at a cost of 375,000, Harry Yesness was king of Casper last night. He thought he could count his friends in hundreds but he found that they were to be numbered in thousands—just about’ as many ‘housands of people as there are in Casper. Did “The Man in the Barrel” clothier stop to recall that but five years ago he hit this city with a Jingling collection of jitneys, dimes and two-bit pieces in his jeans total- ling only $1.60. He probably did. There in his magnificent new store he undoubtedly. was reminded of that hahdicapped beginning. So there were Iterally legions of Casperites on hand last night to shake the hand of Harry Yesne: and wish him great success in his new location, to say: ‘.Long live Yes- ness in his barrel, he is the one who is big hearted in everything he does, who at his own expense declares that “No man goes hungry in Cas- per. Within half an hour after the start of the formal opening Harry (Continued from Page One.) convention itself. were asked to dis- cuss the question. “In other words, we began | to think of the Democratic party. We thought of all that might be in- volved. And then we grew closer together around the council table, friends, seeking to find a way so that the country might have the serviec of a united Democratic part . “We concluded we ought to have on that particular subject an oppor- tunity for further conference. “In all the years I have known political events, I have never wit- nessed such a scene as took. place in the committee room at 6 o'clock this morning. . When we-began to feel the spirit of fraternity again in our breasts, one of the members of from New York, argued that the Is- sue would not be dodged and that the Klan®should be named. If the party did not name it, he said, the People would feel that. democracy is azratd of it. Lending nis voice to the position taken by Mr. Bryan, Representative Garrett declared the Klan was a temporary thing that would disap- Pear in a few yearn unless it con- tinued to receive undue publicity by political conyentions. A charge that the Klan had dis- rupted the social, religious and poll- tical fe in Maine was made by W. R. Pattengall, the member from that state. He insisted that the Klan be named. a Senator Owen of Oklahom= told the committee that to mention the Ku Klux Klan in the platform would ruin Alfred E. Smith as a candidate ard abolish McAdoo. The discussion became so general that tne five minute rule was abolish- ed and there was an agreement that the time should be limited to 15 minutes for proponents and 30 minutes for opponents, but this agreement was later abrogated. De- bate became unlimited. About this time one member of the committee said he had come from his delega tion instructed to vote for a resolu tion naming the Klan and urged that a solution’ be arrived at before day: light. “Hell, it's daylight now,’ exclaimed another committeeman. ‘This sentiment at least found gen- eral support, and soon: afterwards the committee adjourned. NEW YORK, June 28.—Reports coming from the conference rooms of Democratic party leaders early this afternoon, showed no immediate prospect of agreement that would keep the Ku Klux Klan issue off the floor of the national convention. Gotng into consultation in various groups as soon as the morning con- vention session ended, the party {fs struggled desperately for a solution of tho problem. Some still hopet for succed’, but others were predicting openly just before the platform committee resumed its ses- sions that no agreement would be possible. Should all thetr efforts fail, the committee probably will submit two reports, one by the majority con- demiing the Klan without naming it, and one by a fighting, uncom- promising minority, directing a spe- cific attitude against the organiza- tion. Then the convention will choose between the two proposals after a debate. a COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS, Casper, Wyoming, June 23, 1924. e City Council met in ad- journed regular session in the Council Chamber in the City hall with Mayor 8S, K.

It was at the Arkeon, with Yesness there ag host and dispenser of joy, that the town was concentrated en masse last night. Never in its his- tory of popularity had the Arkeon been so jammed. Coonfe Conrad’s collegians turned loose a musical. fountain of sparkling gems and everybody danced. Prizes worth $100 were given away. The whole evening was one of com: munity celebration for the newest achievement of Harry Yesness.. It was in remembrance of the con- sistently fair, square way he has al- ways dealt with the public that brought forth the mighty crowd. The Yesness buliding is a distinc. tive addition to Casper’s downtown district.’ It offers the latest in every convenience that will ald Harry in serving his thousand§ of customers.
