.THE MORXIXG OJREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1908. 3 TAMMANY SINGS SONG DFHARMONY Probably New York State Will Cast Solid Vote for Bryan. CAN NAME VICE-PRESIDENT Parker Resolutiou "ot Fathered by Delegation. Says Murphy Dele gation 'Will Caucus Monday and Pick Its Man. DENVER. July 3. The vanguard of the New York delation arrived late today ,and materially quickened the ante-convention gossip. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall and head of the delegation, came singing a song of peace and harmony, declar ing that New York state is anxious to bring all Democrats together and will take only such action as will bring about that result. As a first step toward harmony, Mr. Murphy gave It out that the widely discussed 'Cleve land resolution prepared by Judge Al ton B. Parker represented only the per sonal views of the writer and could not be put forward as coming from the delegation. Judge Parker arrived somewhat later than Mr. Murphy, but traveled from Chicago over a different road. The former Presidential candidate was ac companied by his law partner, William F. Sheehan. one of the state leaders. With Mr. Murphy came Lewis Nixon, ex-leader of Tammany Hall and. a power In the party councils of the state: Martin W. Littleton, whose boom for the Vice-Presidency assumed Im portant proportions on his arrival; D. F. Cohalan and P. F. Donahue, mem bers of the "Inner circle" of Tammany. Earlier In the day the arrival of Will lam Sulzer and Bird S. Coler. of Brooklyn, had signalized the coming of the New York . hosts. Tammany Friendly to Bryan. One of the significant features of the talk that came with the New York delegates was the distinct tone of friendliness to Mr. Bryan. Not a word was uttered against the leading can didate, while oeveral of the arrivals took occasion to say plainly that they believed the state would give its 78 votes to the Nebraskan. Mr. Murphy would not commit himself, declaring that he had no right to speak for the delegation, which would caucus on every Important matter that required the attention of the delegates. This Important caucus will be held Monday, the main body of Tammany and New York delegates arriving late on Sunday. The coming of the Tammany special train Is awaited with the greatest in terest, for there promises not to be a dull moment after the Tammany dele gates are here. Lewis' Nixon is known as one of the warmest personal friends Mr. Bryan has In the party. Time and again Mr. Bryan has been a gueot at the Nixon house on Stnten Isliind and the relations between the two are con fidential in an extreme degree. With such a friend as Mr. Nixon close to the Tammany throne, and with no ex pressions In favor of any other can didate, the Bryan supporters are jubi lant. Mr. Sulzer said today the New York delegation would vote. solidly for Bryan. New Yorker for Second Place. .The New York delegation is opposed lVAa radical platform, especially as to i'viXB anti-injunction plank, f! New York headquarters eventually will he established in the Brown Pal ace Hotel, but just now the delegates are scattered at the Brown, the Shirley and the Savoy, their reservations not being available until Sunday. Mr. Murphy Is at the Shirley, where many important conferences will be held. The caucus of the New York delega tion on Monday will be one of the most important during the convention period. A decision will then be reached as to the candidates to be sup ported, both for first and second places on the ticket, the state's position as to the platform will be outlined and committee assignments made. Some of the New York delegates believe that Mr. Bryan's wishes with regard to the Vice-Presidency should be consulted. It was said that New York had been given to nnderstand that any man of Vice-Presidential caliher who Is clean will be acceptable to Mr. Bryan. New York expected to play the leading part in the Vice-Presidential situation. Weld Party Together. "We are mjt saying much just now," said Mr. Nixon today. "New York come for harmony, and before we do anything we are going to have a thor ough consultation with the delegates on the ground. We want to try to weld the party together and believe we have a splendid opportunity. We will decide, of course, at the caucus on Monday; New York is not looking for trouble in any way." Mr. Coler gave out an Interview dur ing the day In which he declared that Mr. Bryan not only would be nominat ed, but that he would carry New York State and the country. As to the Vice Presidency, he believed the wishes of Mr. Bryan should be considered. "Tt t the fin 1 v cotirteoim and nroner thing to do." he declared. Mr. Sulzer Is sanguine of Democratic success. "It wa written on the slate that we are going to win. This Is our year and they cannot beat us. As to the Presidency, why. who else is there to vote for but Mr. Bryan? For Vice President, I think New York can agree on a man who will meet all require ments of tlie high office." CI.AYTOX PREDICTS VICTORY Alabama Man Says Bryan Will Beat Taft at Polls. DENVER, Colo.. July 3. Representa tive Clayton, of Alabama, who is slated for the permanent chairmanship of the Democratic convention, arrived here to day. Like all the leaders who have talked with Mr. Bryan en route to Den ver. Mr. Clayton Is confident of Demo cratic victory next November. Mr. Bryan himself believes that the cause of Democ racy never had such a hold on the people as it has at the present time and he feels sure of the party's success. The platform on which the party will go before the country continues to form the main topic of discussion with all the leaders who stop off at Lincoln. It seems to be clearly settled that there shall be a clear and especial pronounce ment on the question of injunctions In volving labor disputes. Mr. Clayton says the plank will be so drawn as1 to leave no room for doubt as to where the Demo cratic party stands. It Is a mistaken idea. he says, that the labor leaders' are clam oring for a radical declaration which would. In effect, align the party against the- judiciary of the country. All they want Is fair and reasonable legislation which will restore to them the right of notice In injunction proceedings which was provided for on the statutes for 70 years previous to the codification of the laws In 1878. "There is no question in my mind," said Mr. Clayton, "that the demand by the labor organizations will be satisfied by the plank as Anally adopted by the convention." DEXVER IS BLAZE OF COLOR In Single Night Streets Flutter With Bunting. DENVER. July 3. Denver, the new convention city of the West, broke forth in brilliant patriotic resplendency today, and a cool breeze, sweeping in from the mountains, set hundreds of flags and draperies of red. white and blue bunt ing dancing in a veritable riot of flash ing color. The sun was undimmed and added material splendor to the city's full dress attire. Wires had been strung at short intervals across the principal down town streets several days ago and last night the decorators set to work with a rush to place the floating nags and bunt ing in position. The transformation, com ing In a single night, was most effective, and delegates and residents alike were taken completely by surprise. The decoration of -the business streets has been carried out in accord with a de sign decided upon some time ago. The plan for each street Is identical and no private decorations have been permitted to interfere with the harmony of the general scheme. The Denver committee early sent out notices that no political organization would be permitted to stretch a banner across the streets and this edict has strictly been adhered to. State head quarters and the headquarters of candi dates are marked only by banners hung along the walls of the buildings where they are established. The draping of the trl-colored banners from the many cross wires along the streets gives an archlike effect and the visitor arriving at the Union Station and passing out through the great per manent arch of welcome, is greeted by a vista of waving color, which extends up Seventeenth street as far as the eye can reach. Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets are the other main arteries which have come in for the more lavish decorative scheme. Vari-colored lighting effects also have been arranged at the principal street intersections and, when the incandescent bulbs are all placed and the current is turned on, the night effect is expected to rival that of the day. The public build ings of the city and state also have been incorporated in the plan of making Den ver gay for convention visitors. The Cap ltdl, from its eminence overlooking the city, is the most effectively decorated. Denver is eagerly awaiting the coming of the crowds, for the convention is re garded as marKing the opening of a new epoch in the city's history. THINKS BRYAN' SURE WINNER Bird S. Coler Predicts Nebraskan Will Carry New York. DENVER. July 3. Coming via Lincoln. Bird S. Coler, of New York, and Daniel J. Campau, of Michigan, arrived in Den ver this morning. They make strong claims for Mr. Bryan. Said Mr. Coler; "Bryan will be nominated and will be elected. Furthermore, he will carry New York, notwithstanding the prediction of McCarren to the contrary. He will have an Immense majority in the city and will come out of the election with the Empire State behind him. He ts stronger with the people than he has ever been and the lobbyists can neither frighten the conven tion Into refusing to nominate him nor prevent his election when he once is on the ticket. I know what I am talking about. These men have been against me as they are against Bryan and I have suc ceeded just as he will." "What about second place?" he was asked. "I think that neither New York nor any other state ought to attempt to control the nomination for the Vice-Presidency without consulting Mr. Bryan. He should be the otJr to suggest a running mate. New York should act toward him now as he acted toward New York after the nom ination of Parker in 1904 that is, she should put herself in the attitude of con sulting his wishes as he did hers at that time." Waterways Plank Drafted. DENVER, July 3. Colonel Henry T. Clarke, of Omaha, Vice-President of the Inland Waterways Commission, arrived in Denver this morning with a prepared plank for the Democratic platform on the BUbject of Improvement of inland water ways, which he will submit to the com mittee on resolutions. The plank declares In favor of a Government issue of 2 per cent bonds, amounting to J600.000.000 or more, to carry forward the work of im provement of rivers, harbors and water ways of the country, which has already been approved by the House committee on rivers and harbors and by the en gineers of the Army. The proposed plank also declares that "on account of the present inactivity in railroad construction. m,any laborers or dinarily engaged in such work are out of employment, and as a consequence the en actment into law of the plank would ben efit alike labor and the Government." Two Women In Convention. DENVER, Colo.. JSily S. Colorado and Utah have each elected a woman delegate-at-Iarge to the Democratic convention Mrs. Mary C. Bradford, of Denver, and Mrs. H. J. Bayward, of Salt Lake City. As alternates. Sarah Ventres, of Salt Lake City, and Mrs. M. F. McCook, of Brighton, Colo., have been chosen. Their votes will be the first to be cast by women In any Na tional convention of Democrats. In her capacity as the representative of the suffrage organization, but not as a delegate, Mrs. Bradford will ap pear before the resolutions committee to urge the adoption of an equal suf frage plank. She is secretary of the state delegation, and expects to have no committee assignments. Wisconsin for Eastern Man. DENVER. July 3. Judge T. E. Ryan, of Waukesha, Wis.. National Committee man from that state and one of the strong Bryan boomers, arrived from Lin coln this morning. "Mr. Bryan will be named on the first ballot, in my opinion," he said. "We have not committed ourselves to any can didate for Vice-President, but generally we favor an Eastern man. Kern, of In diana, is our neighbor and so is Johnson, of Minnesota. Either of these men would be satisfactory to us. They are also men who could command the support of the delegation. "As to the platform, we are well ad vanced In Wisconsin and will support all of the important reforms that are being urged." Nutmeg Delegation Starts. HARTFORD. Oonn.. July 8. The Con necticut delegation to the Democratic National convention left Hartford this morning. Naval Officer Attacks Writer. HONOLULU. July 3. Lieutenant-Commander J. F. Carter. U. S. N., today as saulted J. C. Moore, a newspaper man. at the naval station during an- altercation over a newspaper article. Carter was arrested. LITTLETON OUT FOR SECOND PLACE Latest Addition to List of Lesser Booms. MAY BE TAMMANY CHOICE Towne Also Running Strongly. Gray Men Insist, Though Gray Declines Mitchell Is Being . Pushed by Iowa Men. DENVER, July 3. Martin W. Littleton, of New York, one of the men of that state most prominently mentioned in con nection with the Vice-Presidency, ar rived In Denver today, haying traveled from New York with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. The coming of Mr. Littleton at this time and his presence on the train with .Mr. Murphy gave a decided impetus to his bejom. Mr. Littleton was selected .to make the Parker nominating speech, four years ago and expects to have an "opportunity - to be heard next week. His speech probably will have to do with the adoption of a platform. "There is nothing I can say at this time," said Mr. Littleton today. "Our state delegation will get together on Monday and say what is to be said. Martin W. Littleton, New York's f Latest Candidate for Vice- I President on Democratic Ticket. I This applies equally to the position with regard to the Presidency and the Vice Presidency." Mr. Littleton's friends profess to be entirely satisfied with the outlook. They say that New York has a leading posi tion with regard to the Vice-Presidency. They say that Mr. Littleton's record as to party regularity is without blemish and this is one of the cardinal recom mendations. Jt is anticipated that Mr. Bryan will not express a preference in any definite way, but will be content with such a man as Representative Sulzer, of New York, fresh from Lincoln today, described as "suitable, available, amiable and able." Mr. Littleton is an orator of much force and eloquence and his friends are putting much store by the impression he will make upon the delegates if heard in the convention. TOWNE'S BOOM IS LAUNCHED Kern Lets Wind Out or His by De nying Candidacy. DENVEK, July 3. The boom of Charles A. Towne for Vice-President was launched today. Mr. Farnsworth. of Chi cago, was in charge. Mr. Farnsworth is a former Tammanyite and conducted the campaign for Mr. Towne which resulted in his election to Congress from New York. "We have had enough assurances," de clared Mr. Farnsworth, "to lead us to believe that Mr. 'Towne will be supported for the nomination for Vice-President." While not speaking in disparagement of the other candidates for the office whose names have been mentioned. Mr. Farns worth declared that none of them would be more satisfactory to Mr. Bryan than Mr. Towne. John W. Kern, of Indiana, mentioned in connection with the nomination for Vice-President. arrived from ' Lincoln with several Indiana delegates. Mr. Kern denied explicitly that he was in any. sense a candidate for the nomination for second place. "We are for Bryan," said Chairman Jacobson of the Indiana delegation, "and we want Kern for second place. I think, he added, "that we should adopt appro priate resolutions relative to the death of Mr. Cleveland, but that they should be so framed as not to offend the party." GRAY FIRM IN HIS REFUSAL Says He Will Not Enter Race for Vice-Presidency. WILMINGTON. Del.. July 3. On being apprised of information from Denver that some of his followers in that city has wired) him requesting permission to use his name as a candidate for the nom ination for Vice-President, George Gray this afternoon said: "I have received rfo such telegram, and should I receive it, I would make the same reply that I have already made.' DENVER, July 3. Some of the imme diate followers of Judge Gray, of Dela ware, have been requesting the use of his name for the Vice-Presidency. They admit that they do not expect a favor able reply and say this movement will not prevent them from continuing to press the Judge for first place. "What we shall do in the matter of the Vice-Presidency will not be deter mined until after the nomination for President is made," said one of them, "and if the Judge should not obtain that nomination we will try to secure the sec ond place for him, providing he will al low us to do so." MITCHELL IS STRONGEST MAN Dewitte of Pennsylvania Booms Ei- President of Mineworkers. LINCOLN, July 3. As Dewitte Clin ton Dewltte and his fellow delegate. John Garman. from Pennsylvania, took a train at 4:30" o'clock this morning the former delivered a parting shot in favor of John Mitchell, the former pres ident of the United Mineworkers of America, for the nomination as Vice- President. During his four hours' stay in Lincoln Mr. Dewitte has done but little talking, but has apparently done a great deal of thinking, as well as much quiet investigating. "Mitchell is the man," said Mr. De witte. "I have been weighing the value of the various candidates, talking with other qandidates and comparing views, and the result is that I come out for Mitchell. Not only would Mitchell carry Illinois. Indiana and Ohio, bu he would carry Pennsylvania. What other candi date so far mentioned gives promise of anything like Mitchell's following? None. I believe the next few days at Denver will show the truth of what I have said, and I feel certain now that the majority of the Pennsylvania popu lation appreciates the strength that the leader of the coalminers would bring to the ticket." Governor Haskell and Mrs. Haskell and Delegates-at-large J. B. Tompsin and W. H. Murray, all of Oklahoma, left Lincoln on the same train which bore the Pennsylvanlans. Ollie James, of Kentucky, who is expected to second the nomination of Mr. Bryan, and Sen ator Gore, of Oklahoma, both of whom will make speeches at a local banquet to be given this evening, arrived dur ing the wee sma.' hours this morning. James was inclined to deal lightly with any. mention of his name for' second place on the ticket, and expressed the belief that the Kentucky delegation would arrive at Denver with an open mind on the subject, Mr. James was among the early callers, on Mr. Bryan today. HARRISON WOULD ACCEPT IT But Thinks Vlce-P residency Should Go to Gray. DENVER. July 3. Congressman Fran cisco Burton Harrison, when asked if he were a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, said: "Should the delegates to this conven tion select me for the second place on the ticket. .1 would accept the honor. Personally I should like to see the nomi nation of Judge Gray for the Vice-Presidency. I believe that his selection would promote harmony within the party ranks and add great strength to the National ticket." When Mr. Harrison was asked his opinion relative to the anti-injunction plank to be inserted in the Democratic platform, he said: "The arbitrary use of the writ of in junction in labor disputes by the Fed eral judges is a novel construction of the law and our party should provide some restraint of that great power. Such power, unrestrained, is too great to be vested in any one individual." Shively Not a Candidate. SOUTH BEND, Wd., July 3. Benjamin F. Shively will not attend the Demo cratic National convention and, if his name Is presented for the Vice-Presidential nomination, it will be withdrawn. JOHNSON REJECTS HONOR Municipal Ownership Absorbs Him. Favors Radical Platform. CHICAGO. July 3. Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, on his way to the Democratic National convention, stopped in Chicago for two hours today. He set at rest all reports that he might be the chairman of the campaign committee or a Vice-Presidential candidate by an nouncing that the carrying out of his municipal ownership projects in Cleveland would not permit him to consider either of the two mentioned places. He declared he was for W. J. Bryan for' the head of the ticket, as he had been from the start. Mr. Johnson departed for Denver on the 9:15 o'clock Rock Island train. "The platform of the Democratic party must be in accordance with Bryan's views, and along radical lines." said Mr. Johnson. "The Republicans have, and aim to hold, the conservative vote. There must be no straddling on the part of the Democratic party, and the expressions on all questions must be clear-cut and pro gressive." WANTS CAMPAU AS CHAIRMAN Bryan Said to Favor Michigan Man as Campaign Manager. DENVER, July 3. Aside from the question of who shall be the standard bearers of the Democratic party. In terest centered today in the chairman ship of the Democratic National Com mittee. Although but one delegation has perfected its organization, that of Utah, and the. membership of the new National Committee is as yet unknown, the contest for the chairmanship be gan today in earnest. The supporters of D. J. Campau, of Detroit, -were push ing him to the front, and expressed confidence in his ultimate selection for the office. Mr. Campau was chairman of the executive committee In 1896, and his services at that time were fully recognized. Besides, he has in the past contributed largely toward the ad vancement of his party's interests. While It is conceded that Mr. Campau is having some trouble with the Demo cratic leaders of Michigan in regard to being continued as a member of the National Committee, of which he has been a member for 12 years, it is point ed out that membership on the com mittee is not necessarily a perquisite for the chairmanship. While Mr. Campau's friends have he come active, the adherents of Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland are exerting themselves in his behalf, and they made it knowr. today that they will bend every effort to secure for the Mayor of Cleveland the coveted place. So far the contest seems to lie between these two men, and the outcome is being watched with the keenest interest.. Later In the day it was learned that Mr. Campau had, while at Lincoln, dis cussed with Mr. Bryan the subject of the National chairmanship, and it was learned that Mr. Bryan is anxious, in the event of his nomination, to have Mr. Campau at the head of the Democratic National committee. Drive Johnson Off Committee. COLUMBUS. O.. July 3. W. L. Finley, head of the Democratic state executive committee, and his followers are plotting to defeat Tom L. Johnson, Mayor of Cleveland, in his efforts for re-election as the Ohio member of the National com mittee. William S. Thomas, of Spring field. Is a candidate for Johnson's place on the committee. The friends of Congressman Mat Den ver, of Wilmington, declare that they are going to boom him for the Vice-Presidential nomination. Drunkard Murders Wife. SAX DIEGO. Cal., July 3. Mrs. Susie Morse, who was shot last night by her drunken husband, died at an early hour today as a result of the wounds. William Morse had Just been released from Jail for beating his wife and went to the house with the intention of killing her. He fired three shots, one bullet entering the cheek, another the left arm and the third the back. A charge of murder has been placed against Morse. Harvest of Accidents Begins. CHICAGO. July 3. Chicago's crop of Fourth of July accidents got well under way yesterday in the usual manner. Ac cidents to a number of children, involv ing the loss of eyesight and possible dis figurement were reported to the police, but failed to check the use of explosives.
