Says a Higher Authority Than the Nebraskan | oA Gave Him His Position | CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Democratic Na- tional Committeeman Roger C. Sulll- 7 gave out today a statement which | he has prepared and majled broadcast t Illinois in reply to William demand that he resign from National committee and Bryan's| subsequent assertion that his opposi- | tion to Sulllvan was prompted solely by his belief that “Roger Sullivan and | John P. Hopkins had deliberately rob- bed the Democrats of Illinois of their | political rights.” Sullivan ift his rejoinder declines to| concede to Bryan the right to question his democracy or his membership in the National committee. He says: My membership in the national com- mittee has been conferred and con- firmed by & higher authority than Mr. I r. Bryan may have written the let- ters in which my resignation or re- moval is advised, although the channel through which the letters have come throws doubts on their authenticity. The purpose of the demand made by | Bryan, Sullivan asserts, is to create new factional strife. Sullivan con-| tinues: | Actually this demand emanates from | two men, Millard Fillmore Dunlap and | Owen P. Thompson of Jacksonville. | By misuse of Mr. Bryan's name and | popularity they hope to stir up enough discord at Peoria to enable them to pose again as “leaders” and as ‘‘repre- | sentatives of Mr. Bryan | oIn the letters attributed to Mr. Bryan there is the plain statement: “Mr. Sul- i livan was selected as national commit- | teeman by delegates who were not | y the convention.” If this| s Mr. Bryan's then he per- | a contention that was declared | last Democratic national to be a misrepresentation. fairness maintain this posi- It is true that the seats of cer- of those delegates were contested. ese contests were not decided by d Mr. Bryan knows it.

It is expected that the Government will repuire from 50,000 to 100,000 ounces of silver a week for an indefinite length of time. It is the purpose, therefore, of Secre- tary Shaw and Director Roberts to re- celve bids on Wednesday of each week until further notige. —_— SURVIVES WITH BULLET HOLES IN HEART AND BRAIN Surgeons Attending This Desperately Wounded Negro Think He Will Eventually Recover. .
