BUSINESS MEETING HELD
Party Leaders Discuss the
Plans of the Coming
Campaign
CHICAGO.—Hon. William Jennings
Bryan arrived in Chicago today to
pay a two da "s' visit to his political
triends and campaign managers. The
presidential nominee was greeted at
the railway station by National Chair
man Mack, Colonel Wetmore, in
charge of the iinances of the cam
paign, and a score of party leaders
and prominent Democrats trom Chi
cago and elsewhere.
A rousing cheer wont up as he
stepped down from his sleeper and
grasped the hands that were out
stretched in welcome.
Mr. Bryan looked refreshed and
via! after his night on the road, ah'’
declared that he felt line. Greet'.
having been exchanged all around
the party proceeded through the sta
tion, where throngs of Democrats had
gathered to catch a glimpse of the
great Nebraskan. Their number had
been augmented by the patrons of in
coming trains, until the station was
packed to its utmost limit with an en
tnusiastie, encoring crowd, through
which Mr. Bryan and his escort pass
ed along the lane marked out by the
policemen detniled to guard the per
son of the illustrious visitor, who
bowed to .he right and left in smiling
acknowledgment of their tribute.
Arriving at the Auditorium, Mr.
Bryan lest no time in getting down
to the business that brought him to
Chicago, but plunged into a series of
conferences over' plans for the fight
to ho waged between now and No
vember 3d.
All the heads of the various com
mittees had been summoned to Chi
cago, and before Mr. Bryan leaves on
Monday for Indianapolis the whole
scheme of warfare is expected to have
been mapped out in detail.
One of the most important ques
ttons to b P taken up is the speaking
part Mr. Bryan is to play in the cam
paign. Some of the officials of the
national committee are opposed to
any extensive tour o. the sort made
four and eight years ago, but it rests
with Mr. Bryan to decide.
Another subject which will come in
for full discussion is the money ques
tion—how to raise the cash for the
campaign.
The campaign in the East will also
claim attention from the nominee, and
it was for the purpose of taking up
this subject that Senator Culberson,
of Texas, as head of the advisory com
mittee ,was summoned to the confer
ence by Chairman Mack.
Among the party chiefs who came
to Chicago to meet Mr. Bryan are
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, and
Governor Patterson, of Tennessee.
