A statement to this effect came today from Norman K. Mack, chainnau of tho national committee, through one of his secretaries. "Mr. Mack says that Jud-re Parker is in the fiejit to stay and will not withdraw," said (he secretary. UALTIMOUK, Md., June 22. Fear Hint William J. Bryan will bolt tho democratic national convention If the progressive cause he represents la defeated by the conservatives per vaded the conservative camp today. There were many who scoffed at tho fear, and declared the fight be tween Bryan and the conservatives, brought by the selection of Judge Parker for temporary chairman of the convention had not reached a point that would Justify tho Nebras kan In pulling out. Others however, took stock In tho reports and wore prepared to go to almost any length to prevent an open rupture. Candidates Crawfish Until Bryan himself arrives In Baltimore Sunday and takes personal charge of tho progressive forces, the latter will be more or less disorgan ized. Tho conservatives have been well captained and have had a dis tinct advantage because of that fact. There appeared today to be disap pointment among Bryan's followers over Bryan's apparent failure to force tho so-called progressive candidates for tho presidential nomination to take an out and out stand with him against the selection of Parker as temporary chairman. Tho replies of Champ Clark and Governor Foss are considered evasive and Governor Marshall of Indiana told Bryan that he thought Parker should bo pre mltted to serve. Governor Wilson's friends said that tho governor would reply to Bryan Sunday and that ho would take the position that the temporary chairmanship was not a matter that would cause serious dif ferences and that he proposed to keep out of tho squabble. Most of tho national committee members are hero and Monday It Is expected the committee will ratify tho action of tho sub-committee In selecting Parker. This will force Bryan to carry the fight to tho floor of the convention on Tuesday. Bryan had been counting on tho support of both the Clark and WllBon forces. It appears to be problematical now Just how many Wilson and Clark dele gates will follow him. Tho candi dates themselves want to keep out lest they make enemies that will cost them votes when tho balloting for president begins. Tuiniimiiy For llarmon In tho camp of Governor Harmon today the claim was being made that Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many, had decided to throw New York'B 90 votes to Harmon after tho first or second ballot. Murphy him self would not confirm this. Ho said a caucus of the New York delegation would bo held before anything defi nite was decided upon. It !b becoming moro and moro ap parent, however, that Harmon is first choice with tho conservatives, whoso real leader Is Murphy and that Har mon will likely bo tho beneficiary of tho ontlro conservative strength of tho convention as long as thero ap pears to bo a chanco to nominate him. If tho conservatives cannot nomi nate Harmon or Underwood, who is considered tholr second choice, Champ Clark may got their votes. Clark bus been endorsed as a progressive by Bryan, but at tho same time the conservatives uro not as pronounced In tholr opposition to him as they nio toward Governor Wilson. J'Vac Bryan's Candidacy Talk that Bryan himself may bo cmo a caudldato for the presidential nomination continues to grow. It is generally conceded thai if Bryan is able to prevent the election of Parker as tomporary chairman and to do that without tho active co-oporatlon of any of the progressive candidates for tho presidency, ho would ho In a powerful position to got tho nomina tion for himself, It Is bolng said that tho rank and file of delegates wh0 might follow him on pno fight would likely follow Jilm iu tho other, r The pronounced feature of modern indstrlnl life Is Its enormous diver sification. To apply tariff data Justly to these changing conditions requires closer study and more scien tific methods than ever before. The republican party has shown by Its creation of a tariff board its recogni tion of this situation and Its deter initiation to be equal to It. We coa demn tho democratic party for Its failure cither to provide funds for tho continuance of this board or to make some other provision for secur ing the information requisite for In telligent tariff legislation. Wo pro test aglanst tho democratic methods of legislating on these vitally Im portant subjects without considera tion. Wo condemn tho democratic tariff bills passed by the house of representatives of the 62nd. con ress as sectional, as injurious to the public credit and as destructive of business enterprise. Cast of LIvIiik Tho steadily Increasing cost of 11 v. ong has become a matter, not only of national but of world-wide con cern. The fact that it is not due to tho protective tariff system is evi denced by tho existence of similar conditions in countries which have a tariff policy different from our own, ns well as the fact that the qost of living has Increased while the rates of duty have remained stationary or havo been reduced. Tho republican party will support a prompt, scientific inquiry Into the causes which are operative, both In the United States and elsewhere to Include the cost of living. When the exact facts arc known, it will know tho necessary steps to remove any abuses. MonoKly and Privilege The republican party i op'toscd to special privilege and to monopoly, it placed upon the statute hooks the interstate commerce act of J 887 and the imiortaiit amendments thereto and the anti-trust act of 1800, and it has consistently and successfully en forced the provisions of these laws. It will take no backward step to per mit the re-establishment in any decree of conditions which were intolerable. Experience makes it plain that th-.' business of the country may bo car ried on without fear or without dis turbance and at the same time witho-it resort to practices which are abhor rent to the commoiiscnsc of justice. The republican party favors the en actment of legislation supplementary to the existing anti-trust act which will define as criminal offensos thoe sHicific acts which uniformly mark attempts to restrain and to monopo lize trade, to flic end that those who honestly intend to obey the Jaw may have a ;;uidc for their action, and that those who aim to violate the law may surely bo punished. I he sum' certainty should be given to the law prohibiting combinations and monopo lies that characterizes other provi sions of commercial Inw, in order that no part of the field of business oppor tunity may be restricted by monopoly or combination, the business success honorably achieved. Banking and Currency The republican party has alwas stood for a sound currency and safe banking methods. It is reoiiihk' for the resumption of specific pay ments and for the establishment of the c.old standard. It is committed to (he development of our bankiuc and currency system. Our banking ar rangements today need further revis ion to meet the requirements of cur rent conditions. We need measures which will prevent the recurrence of motley panics and financial disturb ances and which will promote the prosperity of business and the welfare of labor by producing constant em playment. We need belter currency facilities for the movement of crops ill the west and south. We need ljiinkin; arrangements under Amer ican auspices for the encouragement and belter conduct of our foreign trade, in attiiiiiiutr these ends, the independence of individual banks, whether organized under national or state charters, must bo carefully pro tected, and our bunking and currency system must lie snfeguarded from any possibility of domination by scctiouul, financial or political interest. It is of great importance to the so cial and economic welfare of this country 'that its farmers have facil ities for borrowing easily and cheaply the money they need to increase the productivity of. their lands. It is as important that the financial machin ery bo provided to supply the demand of farmers for credit as it is that the bunking nnd currency systems be re formed iu the interests of general business. Therefore, wo recommend and urge an authoritative investiga tion of national credit societies mid institutions m other countries mid lio BALDWIN WONT SUPPORT BRYAN H ON PARKER NI2W IIAVBN, Conn., June 22. Governor Simeon K Baldwin today scut tho following telegram to Wil liam J. Bryan at Chicago In answer to Bryan's message concerning tho se lection of Alton B. Parker as temp orary chairman of the democratic nn tiounl convention at Baltimere: "Ueplylng to your telegram, It does not seem to me that tho course you suggest would promote harmony at Baltimore. "The republican party has been .is'ldy destroying Itself at Chicago. The storm center has been the action of its national committee In plan nlug for tho organization of Its con ventlon. I should regard It as unwise to agitate a similar cause of differ ence, respecting tho action of the democratic national committee. "Tho democratic party of Con necticut stands for three things: "1 Opposition to grants of spe cial privilege to special Interests. 2 Opposition to centralization of power at Washington by encroach ments on the rightful spheres of the states. "3 Economy In public expendi tures. "All those who believe that these principles should bo steadfastly maintained belong to the democratic party. "No party can expect to deserve success in the conduct of national af fairs which Is not broad enough to comprehend many who differ widely Iu their views on minor points. It will have a right wing, a left wing and a center, all co-ordinate parts of one and the same political body." IN RUES Fi MMIHE1EN CHICAGO, Juno 22 The rule re Hlrlctlng choice and power of na tional coiniiiUteomeu adopted by the convention today was as follews: "Hesohed, that a national com mittee shall he appointed to consist of one member from each state anil the District of Columbia. The con vention roll shall be called and the delegation from each, shall, through Its chairman, itaiiio a person who shnll act as tho member of the na tional committee. "Such committee shall Issue, at least sixty day before the meeting of the national convention, a call tor satd conventien: and the delegates to the national convention shall be chosen In such manner and at the same time ns delegates at present are elected. Delegates at large shall bo elected by stnto conventiens: except that In nny state which has by law provided for the election of delegates to the national convention, all the delegates to such convention shall bo chosen In accord with such laws. "Twenty days before the day set for the meeting of tho national com mittee tho credentials shall be sent to the committee for use In making up the temporary roll, which roll shall be advisory and not the official roll of tho convention. Any delegate or alternate whose seat has been con tested In good faith shall stand nslde and not be permitted to vote on his case or on other contests until his credentials shnll have been passed upon by the convention when ns semblcd."
