THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1906.
PEOPLE'S PARTY
OF ONE ACCORD
Harmonious Meeting of Na
tional Committee Is Held
at St. Louis.
PLANS FOR TtfE CAMPAIGN
Committee Is Appointed to Take
Measures for the Organization of
a People's Party Club to
Reorganize the Party.
ST. LOUIS. Juno 27. The National com
mittee of the Peoples party met in an
nual conference here today at the Olym
pic Theater, delegates being present from
almost every state In the Union. At the
Southern Hotel a conference was held by
members of the conference provisional
committee, which Is advocating a mam
moth National convention of all the re
form forces of the Nation, the object be
ing to organize a political body of anity,
harmony and strength.
The conference was called to order by
James H. Ferriss, National chairman of
the People's party of Joliet. 111. In the
absence of Secretary C. Q. De France, of
New York, Paul J. Dixon, of Chillicothe,
Mo., was chosen temporary secretary.
Chairman Ferriss said in part:
This u the first meeting 'neld by the Na
tional committee since the official healing
of the differences between the Mlddle-of-the-Road
and Fusion factions of the party.
The party Is at peace within Itself. The
Nation smiles with us, believes in our sin
cerity and rejoices in our success. Since
peace came to the party, a coincidence no
doubt, the Nation politically has turned
about face. The people, not the money bar
ons, now make progress in the ascendency.
The calamity howlers are now the boosters.
Today there are no disorganizing or dis
cordant spirits among the National com
mittee. The rate bill does not meet Pop
ulist demands, but it Is a step showing at
least that the statesmen desire to do some
thing for the people. Populists will push on
for Government ownership of the industries
possessing Government functions. Theodore
Roosevelt, Senator La Follette and Thomas
l.awson. W. J. Bryan, Governor Folk and
W. R. Hearst, nicknamed Populists by their
Wall-street despisers, are the great men of
their parties, and it is their Populist ten
dencies alone that have made them more
highly esteemed than their ordinary fellow
partisans. It Is so recognized by their party
managers, for Bryan, Hearst or Folk will be
taken to defeat a Republican for the Pres
idency. Likewise the Republicans under
stand they can defeat the Democrats with
Ho other than Roosevelt.
The general tendency for reform is re
volt. In the organization of the new parties
for labor and public ownership in various
parts of the Nation, particularly along Pop
ulist lines.
Tibbies Defines Socialism.
The afternoon session began with an
Address by Thomas Tibbies, of Omaha,
who was the Vice-Presidential candidate
of the People's party In the last cam
paign. He said in Part:
We ?lalm that a monopoly should be
owned by the people. Whenever a Popu
lism iunv lias u t 11 incorporaicu lino i tv
it Is the astonishing fact that the whole
public finally becomes in favor of It.
We are fought on the grounds of Social
ism. I want to say that thre are two
kinds ot Socialism In the United states
the Karl Marx. Socialism and the Debs
Socialism. The Karl Marx Socialism is the
only kind of Socialism that is worth any
thing. The other kind, the Debs Social
ism, Is a fraud. Our principles stand for
the good of the people, regardless of name.
What is a Democrat? Can anybody tell?
Silence in the audience.
"What is a Republican?" demanded Mr.
Tibbies, with emphasis.
"A crazy Democrat," ' shouted a voice,
and a general laugh followed.
"The great split in these parties," con
tinued Mr. Tibbies, "has destroyed their
names. Their names do not mean any
thing. But the Populist party is solidi
fied and it will stand for the next 100
years, and the name means something."
Chair Restores Order.
M. V. Rork, of Los Angeles, then start
ed to make an address, whicn was Anally
interrupted by John M. Louder, of Ma
con, Mo., who arose to a point of order
and made a motion that a committee on
credentials be appointed and an order of
business adopted. Much wrangling fol
lowed regarding the meeting and the or
der of business to be pursued.
Finally, after several of those present
had offered to withdraw, when the chair
stated that this was a meeting of the
National Committee, and not a mass
meeting, but that the Invitation had been
extended to friends, harmony was re
stored and Mr. Rork was Invited to finish
his speech. Again discussion arose as to
the purpose of the conference, and Mr.
Tibbies finally put an end to it by stating
that this was a meeting of the National
Committee, and friends that had been in
vited had the same power to vote on
questions that may be brought up as have
the regular members of the National
Committee." i '
Organization of People's Party Club.
Colonel H. L. Bentley, of Abilene, Tex.,
was appointed chairman of a committee
of 15 to consider and draft a proposal for
a People's party club organization, to be
submitted to the conference for adoption.
Colonel Bentiey made an address, prior
to the meeting of the committee of 15,
explaining the purpose of the club organ
ization proposed.
Jay W. Forrest, of Albany, N. Y., who
was a delegate to the National Conven
tion in 1904 In St. Louis, made an address
on party organization. He said:
In 1008 a radical party will sweep this
country. Men who In the past Ibave been
Republicans, Democrats, Prohibitionists or
anything else, and who today want to clean
house, are going to be radical. That Is the
condition that will obtain in 1908 and It
is dangerous. It wants a leadership and
It Is up to the Populist party to give It a
leadership. I do believe we should have a
union of all reform forces In the United
States and elect the President in 1908,
which w can do.
If William J. Bryan had bolted the nom
ination of Parker, as I did, he would be
the biggest man In the United States to
day. Today we. the Bryan men of the
State of New Tork, look upon Thomas B.
Watson, of Georgia, as the Jefferson of the
South. We want 1,000,000 men between
now and 1908 as Independent American cit
izens who believe In the divine doctrine of
America and who w-111 go to the ballot box
and register their ballots regardless of any
political organization.
Several committees were named and the
conference took a recess until 8 P. M.
Hot Discussion Over Resolution.
ST. LOUIS, June 27. The first day's
session of the annual conference of the
National Committee of the People's
party came to a focus tonight when,
after three hours of heated discussion,
a resolution, designated by W. S. Will
iams, delegate from Indiana, as an at
tempt "to hand the organization of
the People's party over to an antag
onistic element," was made the special
order of business for 9 o'clock tomor
row. The session then adjourned.
The resolution was introduced by H.
X Mullins, of Tennessee, and provides
that the conference authorize that the
executive committee of the conference
provisional committee be composed of
the president of the Confederation of
People's Party Clubs, the chairman of
the People's Party National Commit
tee and the presidents of all organiza
tions which subscribe to the Spring
field. 111., platform and indorse Thomas
K. Watson, of Georgia, for President.
The conference adopted the plan pro
posed by H. L. Bentley, president of
the National Federation of People's
Party Clubs, for expanding and - in
creasing the clubs throughout the
country.
BRYAX'S NAME IS CHEERED
Wisconsin Democrats AVliJ Indorse
Nebraskan for the Presidency.
MILWAUKEE. June 27. Indorsement by
the Wisconsin Democracy of William J.
Bryan as the Democratic Presidential can
didate in the campaign of 1908 was indi
cated in the sessions of the Democratic
state convention which met here today.
Every mention of Bryan's name caused
prolonged applause, many delegates who
two years ago were strongly opposed to
Bryan-joining in the demonstration.
At tonight's session .John A. Aylward,
of Madison, who was chosen permanent
chairman, caused a prolonged demonstra
tion by his reference to Bryan. "The
death and 'burial of the Democratic party
has not happened yet," said Aylward. "Our
Republican friends bury us quite regular
ly, but they plant us face up and we have
the faculty of digging out. Six years ago
they tried planting us face down and we
dug out through China and have visited
the Empress of China, the Mikado of
Japan and the Sultans of Turkey and of
Sulu.
"We have witnessed the dawning of a
day of freedom in Russia. Last week we
were present at the organization of pop
ular government in Norway and so on. in
the grandest resurrection the world has
known since the Prince of Peace walked
forth from Calvary's sepulcher, which
shall arrive home, with the peerless, fear
less William Jennings Bryan.'.'
The work of the convention Is to prepare
a paltform on which the candidate who
will be chosen at the primary election in
the Fall may run.
The Democratic State Convention,
called to adopt a platform to
be recommended to the candidates
who will be nominated at the
primary election In the Fall, met here to
day. There were about 700 delegates in
their seats when Chairman H. H. Manson,
of Wausau, rapped for order and an
nounced the names of the temporary of
ficers. That the Bryan supporters rule
the convention seems to be a foregone
conclusion. Daniel H. Grady, of Portage,
was temporary chairman. Mr. Grady in
his speech discussed the tariff issue at
length. He said:
More men have been enriched hQ the Ill
gotten gains as the fruit of the Republican
policy of levying tribute upon the many for
the benefit of the few - than under any and
all of the most corrupting governments the
world has ever known. Upon the right of &
government to levy tribute upon one class
for the benefit of another we have ever dif
fered with them, and from the watchtowr
of Democracy has sounded the keynote of
warfare against that system that has
strangled individual enterprise and has
stifled legitimate competition.
The prediction f the party of years ago
has come to pass and, to quote the words of
the Republican Governor, Cummins, of
Iowa, "the total life insurance grafts for
all time have not been one-fifth of the an
nual amount of which the people have been
despoiled by excessive tariff rates."
We have seen the effect of the tariff upon
the three great Industries that should go
hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder to
secure the greatness of the country and the
prosperity of her people. We say to them
that the cause of this condition Is the in
equable protective tariff system. They dare
not and they do not deny It. Tou may In
vestigate every trust In this country and
you will find that the article manufactured
by It Is a protected article, and you will not
find a manufactured article controlled by a
trust that la not a protected article.
We have seen the ill-gotten millions, the
levied blackmail, the tribute paid for Gov
ernmental favor, the money wrongfully
withheld by the life Insurance companies
from widows and children poured out upon
a tempted and a deluded people, and by a
criminal conspiracy and coercion without
parallel in history, purchasing the highest
office within this great republic.
But, as "truth crushed to earth will rise
again," the united Democracy stands today
facing the rising sun ot the East, watching
for the face and waiting for the sound of
the voice that for a decade has. In the cause
of true Democracy, pleaded the promptings
of his majestic mind, encouraging his coun
trymen In the days of trial and tribulation
as did Columbus the mariners on the trou
bled seas, saying, Sall on, sail on, sail on.
the craft will yet ride triumphantly to the
lea."
Recognizing In him the embodiment of
the principles of Democracy, with out
stretched arms, he ts today flailed and
welcomed as the leader of his party, and
though twice defeated, by means corrupt
and weapons befouled, now bidding defiance
to their power, he who led Democracy's
brave battalions In the memorable cam
paigns of 1800 and 1000, lives the loftiest,
and. In the hearts of the American people,
the best beloved of them all. That he may
live to see the triumph of the cause and
answer the people's call to the helm of
state, leaving an official record as stainless
as that of his private life, we all hope.
The temporary chairman's reference to
W. J. Bryan was received with tumultu
ous applause.

America Will Not Lose Any

HONESTY IS NOT COMMON
Every thins Must Be Put Down In
Black and White In European'
Commercial Life, and Then
It Is Not Wholly Safe.
CHICAGO, June 27. The Berlin cor
respondent of the Chicago Daily News
cables the following interview with
Adolph Kahn, a prominent American
business man, on his observance of
business methods abroad:
"European mud-slinging at American
commercial morals, which is now so
popular, is hypocrisy of the rankest
kind," said Mr. Kahn. "Wide knowl
etdge of European methods assures me
that a comparison of ethics would de
cidedly favor the business men and
business practices of the United States.
Representatives of our leading indus
trial organizations declare that their
daily experiences reveal little of the
boasted moral superiority of the Old
World.
"One of them makes the sweeping:
assertion that, barring perhaps Eng
lishmen, he would not trust any Euro
pean merchant, manufacturer or
tradesman, unless the transactions
were tied up in formal documents, pro
ducible in court.
"Such things as a 'gentlemen's agree
ment,' which is an everyday feature of
American business, is unknown here.
The doctrine of common honesty and
mutual trust appears to play no part
in European commercial life. Every
thing must be put down in black and
white, and even then there is a ten
dency to quibble and crawl. Broad
gauge, generous methods and princi
ples, characteristic of the best class of
American concerns, are utterly foreign
to the European business code.".
FUSION IN PENNSYLVANIA
Lincoln Party, Democrats and Pro
hibitionists Name Ticket.
HARRISBURG, Pa., June 27. The
Democratic State Convention today
nominated the following ticket:
Governor, Lewis Emery, Jr., of
Bradford, the Lincoln party nominee;
Lieutenant-Governor, Jeremiah S.
Black, of York; Auditor-General, Will
lam T. Creasy, the Prohibition nomi
nee; Secretary of Internal Affairs,
John J. Green, of Philadelphia.
The platform deals entirely with
state Issues except one plank, which
commends W. J. Bryan. The conven
tion did not go on record in favor of
Bryan's nomination for President.
Emery was the choice of tho dele
gates who favor fusion with the Lin
coln party on a state ticket. He was
nominated on the first ballot by a

walt, of Lehigh County.

President Buchanan's Cabinet, and a
son of the late Chauncey F. Black,
Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Creasy is the Democratic leader
of the House of Representatives and
was nominated for Auditor-General by
the recent Prohibition convention. The
platform adopted reads:
The Democratic party in Pennsylvania, by
its representative la convention assembled,
declares:
That public questions relating only to the
Federal Government and affecting solely the
election ot Representatives in Congress ap
propriately belong for determination to the
voters of the several Congressional District.
We congratulate .the country upon the fact
that the only prominence which the present
Republican National Administration has at
tained has been achieved by a feeble and
pretended application of the principles enunci
ated by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,'
the great Democratic commoner, who Is now
regarded an the certain successor of Theodore
Roosevelt to the Presidency.
All Important reforms the Republican plat
form advocated now have been consistently
supported by the Democracy of the state for
many years. .
We therefore repeat the declaration of our
alms and purposes when we again affirm
that we stand as ever for the rule of the
people. In county, state and Nation, as against
the federated tyranny of organized greed and
corrupt political and commercial manipulators.
The platform urges improved elec
tion laws, favors a "complete and
rigid regulation of all corporations
engaged in public service," the prohi
bition of transportation by companies
engaged in the mining of coal or other
minerals or the manufacture of any
commodities in the transportation of
which they are engaged as common
carriers; denounces the giving of re
bates, favors such change in the food
laws "as will insure the protection of
public health," and favors a strict pro
hibition by civil and criminal enact
ment of all contributions by corpora
tions to parties, organizations, commit
tees or individuals for political pur
poses. Cobb Renominated In Maine.
PORTLAND, Me.. June 27. The Re
publicans of Maine today nominated
Governor William G. Cobb, of Portland,
for a second term as Chief Executive of
the state. The Lewiston and Bangor
delegates attempted to introduce into
the platform a plank providing for the
re-submission to the voters of the ques
tion of continuing the prohibitory law,
which has been in force for more than
50 years. The attempt failed by a yote
of about 3 to 1.
In his address as permanent chair
man. Senator Frye, referring to the at
titude of the Republican party on the
tariff, said: "It will continue to stand
pat."

CZAR GIVES REPRIMAND
Demands of the Soldiers Were Made
at a Meeting Held in Defiance
of the Officers, and No
One Was Punished.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 27. The com
mander of the ultra-loyal Prebrajansky
Regiment, to which belong the men who
recently held a meeting In the guard camp
at Krasnoic-Selo and drew up resolutions
addressed to their commander, upholding
all of the actions of Parliament and de
claring that they want no more polio
duty entailing the slaying of brothers or
fathers, has been severely reprimanded
by the Emperor.
The severe reprimand by the Emperor
to the commander of the first and most
honored regiment in the service is the
clearest comment possible on the serious
spread of the revolutionary propaganda
In the array. The Emperor Is titular Colo
nel of the Preobrajensky Regiment, and
Invariably wears its uniform on state oc
casions. The demands of the men and
their adoption of the motto, "One for all;
all for one," shows that the movement
was engineered by the revolutionists.
The demands of the men were adopted
at a meeting held In open defiance of their
officers, and, instead of this entailing pun
ishment, their demands received the re
spectful consideration of the commander
of the division, General Ozeroff, who
promised to satisfy some of them and re
fer others to his superiors.
The demands of the men include humane
treatment from their officers; relief from
police duty; the removal of the restric
tions on leaving barracks and visiting the
quarters In St. Petersburg where they are
exposed to the revolutionary propaganda;
the establishment of a regimental reading-room,
where liberal and revolutionist
papers will be kept on file: the abolish
ment of the opening of soldiers' letters;
the discharge of men after serving their
third year with the colors; the release of
their comrades arrested last Winter for
political reasons; the Improvement of the
rations; better care or the sick; the fur
nishing of bed linen; the abolition of spe
cial salutes; the retention by soldiers of
their best uniform when leavinsr the serv
ice; the right of meeting and presenting
complaints to officers, and no restrictions
or punishment for political opinions.
Finally, the men expressed their entire
sympathy with the demands of parliament
for the distribution of lands.
The strike movement has spread to the
sailors detailed for duty at the govern
ment powder factory near St. Petersburg.
The men refuse to return to the units
whence they were originally detailed, and
are holding meetings in which the soldiers
stationed in the vicinity are participating.
The first battalion of the "Preobrajensky
Regiment, in which the trouble occurred,
has been ordered to be removed to the
district of Novgorod, where the first Jap
anese prisoners were sent in the recent
war.

Russian Government Shows Increase
of Receipts Over 1905. '
ST. PETERSBURG. June 27. With a
view to indicating Russia's financial and
economic condition, as compared with
1906, it Is announced that the ordinary
government receipts for the first three
months of 1906 showed an increase of J30,
600,000. Railway returns In January and

April and May there was a total increase
of S.100,000. The movement of foreign
trades from January to June shows a
surplus In exports over imports of $65,
643,600. For the five months savings banks de
posits were remarkable, with an Increase
of from $12,500,000 to $57,200,000, showing
that the recent withdrawals are flowing
back. Other evidence of the cessation
of the acute money stringency is found
in the constant decrease in the loan ac
count of the -state bank, despite the de
crease In the discount rate. The cash
reserve In the bank Is $553,675,000, repre
senting 100 per cent of the note circula

Fired on Loyal Troops Sent to Put
Down Uprising.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 27. An offi
cial report of the outbreak among the
troops composing the garrison at Vlad
ikavkaz, Caucasia, show that the affair
was more serious than at first reported.
The mutinous artillerists turned the
guns of a captured battery upon loyal
troops dispatched to suppress the dis

the cannon, wounding one soldier fatal
ly and a considerable number less seri

have been no other disorders during the
day in St. Petersburg.
The press of St. Petersburg: continues
speculation with regard to possible
changes in the Ministry, but there is
no evidence of immediate action at
Peterhof. The more radical Constitu
tional Democrats are urging a personal
and unofficial appeal to Emperor Nich
olas to discard the Goremykln Ministry.
The Conservative leaders, including
Professor Milukoff and M. Petrunke
vitch, oppose the proposal, on the
ground that delay is playing directly
into their hands.
There are. persistent reports in St.
Petersburg- that influence has been at

BAILEY DEFENDS SENATE

Post referred the question to John H.
Kirby, a Texas multi-millionaire, who
said that Bailey, his attorney, got it

since 1902 Bailey got from him more
than $200,000 in fees.

Idaho Convict Raises Novel
Point on Habeas Corpus.
HELD BY PARDON BOARD
Supreme Court Rules . That Paroled
Prisoner Who Backslides Must
Nevertheless Be Released
When Sentence Expires.
BOISE, Idaho, June 27. (Special.) In
the case of Bert Prout the Supreme Court
hag held that the Board of Pardons can
not compel a prisoner who has been
paroled and returned to the penitentiary
to serve additional time equal to the
period he was out on parole.
Prout was received at the penitentiary
May 24, 1903, to serve a three-year sen
tence Imposed in Latah County. On Oc
tober 6, 1904, he was released on parole.
He issued a check in Shoshone County
on a bank where he had no account, and
for that crime was brought back to the
penitentiary March 2, 1905, having been
out four months and 26 days.
The board ordered that he should serve
out that time after the expiration of his
sentence, or until October 20, 1906, though
the term of the original sentence would
expire May 24.
He applied for discharge on a writ of
habeas corpus. The court has granted
his prayer. It is held that the convict,
though out of the penitentiary, was still
under penitentiary control and was not
a free man.
Justice Sullivan dissents in the case.
