Mr, CTBrien then said: "A strange condition presents Itself.

Tou have been reading In the public press how State committees In other States have Indorsed the candidacy of Mr. Bryan and this Is the first time that I have heard such action criticised. I have yet to hear of any place or time when Mr. Bryan has criticised any committee that indorsed his candidacy. "Governor Johnson can carry every State that Bryan can carry and In addition can carry Minnesota, Wisconsin, South and North Dakota and many other States that Bryan cannot carry.

This committee has the right to express its opinion." Mr. Vasaly. of Morrison county. In opposing the O'Brien resolution, said the Democracy of Minnesota had more serious business on hand than to be throwing boquets at a favorite son.

LEe! ORDINANCE LIKELY TO DIE, Mayor Defines Status of North-side Councilmanic Clerks, Promotion for Alderdice, Public Safety Director E. G. Lang made a few pointed remarks on an ordinance creating a bureau of! elevator inspection before the salary revision committee yesterday afternoon with the result that the bill was negatively recommended to the finance committee. "In the first place I don't think the bureau would be self-sustaining from license fees, as haa been claimed, and I doubt If such Inspection by the city would Increase the safeguard furnished by the casualty companies, which are financially interested in preventing accidents and whose Inspection of elevators is thorough." It has been figured It would cost about 125,000 a year to operate the bureau and this sum, it was thought, would be derived from inspection fees. Mayor Guthrie was asked to come before the committee and explain the legal status of the council clerks and message clerk of old Allegheny councils.

The mayor said the clerks of Pittsburgh councils were city officials and only ex-ofncio clerks of councils, whereas the North-side clerks had been employes of counciis. The latter positions, he thought, went out of existence when the merger took place. The matter was referred to the city solicitor. In questioning Director Lang it was brought out that Robert Alderdice, who has been acting captain at the Oakland police station for over a year at a lieutenant's salary, will be promoted permanently to a captaincy.

Mr. i Vasaly then offered as a substitute a resolution indorsing Bryan for President and averring that.
