Former Senator Allen made
good liis word that lie would
not enter any scramble for the
nomination, and while the nomi-
nations were being made lie
twice instructed the Nebraska
delegation to say that his name
must not go before the conven-
tion. In the face of this, how-
ever, he received forty votes.
Whether Mr. Watson will ac-
cept the nomination or not, no
one in the convention seemed
to know, and all efforts to se-
cure as saying that if the demo-
crats nominated Hearst he
would support liim for presi

ceived only a few votes and
soon withdrew, giving Mr. Wat-
