Minnesota Democracy Only
Has Compliments to
Give Bryan.
BOLT DOES NOT HAPPEN
After Vain Attempt to Have Their
Man Named as Second Choice,
Bryan Men Calmly Take .
Their MeJlclne.
ST. PAUL, May 14. The Democrats
of Minnesota today formally indorsed
Governor John A. Johnson as Presi
dential candidate, and at the same time,
by a vote of 772 to 166 refused to de
clare in favor of William J. Bryan as a
Second choicei
The followers of Mr. Bryan did not
carry out the threat which they have so
often made during the last 10 days, that
they would bolt and hold a rump con
vention if their contests were defeated
before the committee on credentials, or
of they were not able to secure a par
tial indorsement of their leader. They
made a Bturdy fight for their man and,
when they had been overwhelmingly
defeated, remained quietly in their
seats and made no motion to leave.
Several days ago they had gone to
the length of leasing a hall two
tquares from the Auditorium. In which
the convention of today was held, for
the purpose of indorsing Mr. Bryan and
naming a contesting delegation to Den
ver. The hall was ready for them to
flay, but none of them went near it.
Johnson Men Generous.
The Johnson men were generous in
their victory and declared in their plat
,'orm that, while they entertained an "af
fection for and confidence in the integ
rity and ability of William J. Bryan,"
they believed that Mr. Johnson was a
man better calculated to bring success
to the Democratic paity and was fiit
entitled to the support of Minnesota.
The convention was a flattering tribute
to Mr. Johnson and the enthusiasm for
him was unbounded.
The platform as adopted adheres to the
principles of Jefferson and Jackson and
pledges faithful support to the candi
date for President selected at the Den
ver convention. In conclusion, the plat
form says:
Indorsement of Johnson.
While maintaining an affection for and
confidence In th Integrity and ability of
Hon. William J. Bryan, we now propose as
the party's choice one who, equally worthy,
elves greeter promlne of successful candi
dacy and Is first entitled to our support.
In Governor John A. Johnson Minnesota
present to the Nation as Democratic candi
date for President a man of ability, integ
rity and honor, a constructive statesman,
who holds no brief from any class, who
from early youth has been a wage-earner,
whose private life has been of such purity,
vigor and earnestness as to- win him the
love, respect and confidence of all who
know him. In public life he has. because
of his virtue, won the admiration of the
people of his state and Nation, regardless
of condition of life or political faith.
We. therefore, instruct our delegates to
the National Democratic convention to vote
as a unit for him. and to continue so to
vote as long as necessary to secure the
nomination of John A. Johnson as the candi
date for President.
The words "along the lines suggested
by William J. Bryan," were added by
the committee to the original draft of
the platform and the insertion of the
Kebraskan's name was received with an
outburst of applause.
Want Bryan as Second Choice.
A minority report was presented on
the Bryan plank by P. J. Knox. He
asked that his report be added to the
majority report of the committee on res
olutions. The minority report was as
follows:
Resolved. That. In pledging our adher
ence to the candidacy of Johnson, we do
not disparage or overlook the great service
to the party, the Nation and the world of
that great commoner, brilliant orator and
fearless reformer. William J. Bryan, and
we Instruct the delegates from Minnesota to
the National Democratic convention at Den
ver, in case the nomination of Johnson be
comes Impossible, to vote for Bryan without
variation or exception until a candidate is
nominated.
The motion of Mr. Knox to adopt the
minority report was greeted with loud
cheering by the Bryan men and a chorus
of "no,'' "no," from the Johnson men.
Before the conclusion of his remarks Mr.
Knox was interrupted by cries of "sit
down," and "shut up."
No Second-Choice Girl.
T. D. O'Brien, chairman of the resolu
tions committee, replied in favor of the
report as read, saying:
This Is not a question between Johnson
and William J. Bryan, but the Democracy
wants to put forward a man who will bo
the strongest candidate for President of the
trnlted States. No man asks a girl to marry
him and tells her that. If she won't' have
him, he will ak her sister the next day.
If Bryan Is nominated at Denver, we will
aive him honest support, but Minnesota is
for Johnson and we should let the country
know It.
Mr. O'Brien spoke only for a few min
utes and was cheered as he closed.
DEMOCRAT ON PARTY ISSUES
Chamberlain Explains Tils Position
to Forest Grove Audience.
FOREST GROVE, Or., May 14. (Spe
cial.) Governor Chamberlain addressed a
large audience here tonight in the inter
est of his candidacy for the United States
Senate. He arrived from Beaverton by
automobile at 6 o'clock and was enter
tained at the Laughlin by a Democratic
committee.
In addressing the people he said he did
not care for the patronage of Congress,
but would go there in the Interests of the
people. 'He pledged support to the Roose
velt policies and said he did not care
whether Bryan, Roosevelt or Taft was
elected President. He also made a pre
diction that if Roosevelt was not nomi
nated that Bryan would surely be the
next President. He said he was a Dem
ocrat and would, on party matters in
Congress, stand by them.
He gave considerable of his speech to
the criticism of H. M. Cake, his oppon
ent. He leaves tomorrow for Carlton
and North Yamhill.

TAFT INDORSEMENT FORCED
UNDER GAG RULE.
Roosevelt and Hughes Men Make
Bitter Fight, but Chairman
Denies Them Hearing.
BUTTE, Mont., May 14. The Montana
state Republican convention In this citv
'today Indorsed the policies of President
Koosevelt and instructed its six dele
gates to the National convention for
Secretary Taft. despite the objections of
supporters of Governor Hughes and
Mr. Roosevelt, who constituted no
small part of the convention. Chairman
H. G. Miller, of Livingston, carried the
Taft forces through with an iron hand.
When General Charles G. Warren, of
Silver Bow, moved to lay the resolu
tions Indorsing Mr. Taft on the table,
he was promptly ruled out of order by
the chairman, amid the protests of the
delegate, who shouted that he would not
be bound by the gag rule. Amid a pan
demonium of ayes and noes, when Mr.
Miller put the motion to adopt the reso
lution indorsing the Secretary of War,
the chair declared It carried. No chance
was given for a roll call by counties.
In the committee a bitter fight was
made against the resolution, which was
carried by a small margin. O. B. Ban
non, of Powell, who succeeded in gain
ing recognition, pleaded for Indepen
dence. When he shouted that three
fourths of the Republicans in his county
were for Mr. Hughes, he was howled
down by cheers of the Taft followers.
The following delegates were chosen to
the Chicago convention: Charles R.
Leonard, Silver Bow, T. A. Marlow,
Lewis and Clarke; Charles M. 'Blair,
Yellowstone;' A. J. Bennett, Madison; J.
G. Balrd, Teton; Colonel T. F. Malone.

ASK FUGITIVE WARRANT
Detectives Try New Tack in the
Fullerton Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14. The detec
tives who brought to this city from Se
attle Robert W. Fullerton, accused of
wronging Miss Gladys Hobart, of New
York, made a new move in the case to
day without waiting for Judge Seawell's
decision on the prisoner's application for
release on a writ of habeas corpus. Ap
plication was made to Police Judge Short
all for a warrant charging the prisoner
with being a fugitive from justice from
the State of New York, and asking that
he be held until such time as the neces
sary eteps can be taken for his return to
the place in which the original accusa
tion lies. The complaint filed today makes
no mention of Miss Hobart.
Arguments in the habeas corpus pro
ceedings were heard today by Superior
Judge Seawell, Attorney Peter F. Dunne
appearing for Fullerton and Assistant
District Attorney Cook for the prosecu
tion. Judge Seawell asked the attorneys to
submit the matter on briefs next Mon
day. He will render a decision at that
time. Fullerton will remain in the cus
tody of the Sheriff until the case is dis
posed of here.

TAKE LOCAL OPTION
Washington Republicans Make
It Part of Platfurm.
SING TEMPERANCE SONGS
Elks' Quartet Responds When Re
sult of Vote on Resolution Is An
nounced Taft and Roose
velt's Policies Indorsed.
SPOKANE, May 14. The dramatic
and unexpected feature of the Wash
ington Republican State Convention
today was the adoption of a local op
tion plank by a vote of 506 to 258. A
minority report, signed by only four
of the 37 members of the platform
committee, declared:
"This convention records itself in
favor of a reasonable local option bill
to be enacted by the next Legislature,"
and it was adopted with loud cheers.
Then came a unique incident:
The Elks' quartet of Spokane was in
the big armory and had entertained the
delegates with a number of songs. A
delegate called for the singing of
"Where Is My Wandering Boy To
night." The famous old temperance
song was readily given, and a large
number of the delegates Joined in the
song.
The convention adopted unanimously
thefollowlng resolution for Taft:
We recognize in Hen. William H. Taft, of
Ohio, a statesman of lofty patriotism. He
has proved his genius for public affairs:
he Is experienced In the public service and
la in sympathy with the aims and desires
of the people to governmental principles.
We want the Roosevelt policies continued
and we believe Mr. Taft is pre-eminently
the man for the task. We pledge him the
support of the Reoubllcans of the State of
Washington . if he is nominated and we In
struct the "delegation from this state to
vote for his nomination as long as his
name shall be before the convention.
With a minor change, under which
two of the men slated last night
changed from alternate to Presidential
Electors, the list of delegates and
Persidential Electors as telegraphed
last night to the Associated Press was
ratified by the convention today. As
this state has a direct primary law, the
convention had no nominations to
make.
The platform indorses Roosevelt's
policies; calls for tariff revision; fa
vors forest reserves with a liberal pol
icy for settlers; recommends postal
savings banks and a National Bureau
of Mines; asks for a permanent Pacific
fleet; increased power for the Inter
state Commerce Commission and slate
supervision of all corporations.
RIOT IN ALASKA CONVENTION

Separate Session.
SEATTLE, May 15. Special cable to
the Times from Ketchikan, Alaska,
says:
"Amid riotous scenes of disorder and
confusion the Alaska Republican Con
vention split last night, with the re
sult that contesting delegations will be
sent to the National Convention in Chi
cago next month. The break came as a
result of the credentials committee,
controlled by Governor Hoggatt, refus
ing to seat the regular delegates from
Nome and Fairbanks, and admitting
the contesting forces.
When they saw things were going
against them, the antis assembled in
one corner of the hall and proceeded to
hold a meeting of their own. L. T.
