Teller Campaign Hints at Waiting Role in Democratic Convention
Delegates arriving for the Democratic convention show reluctance to nominate Teller now. Silver delegates and allies from Colorado and elsewhere see him as the strongest bimetallic figure, but his supporters prefer a ground presence to answer questions rather than push a quick nomination. The plan is to press for a silver convention by selecting a temporary chair with strong parliamentary ability, with Senator Harris among likely choices.

Ex Representative Bryan Judge Powers and Mr McNeil spoke similarly as 79 delegates gathered.
