Cares Little What Is Done at
Denver Business Not Dis
turbed by the Election.
FINIS FOR PEERLESS ONE
Conservative Democrats Count on
Reorganization or Party, With
Chance of Success Four Tears
Hence Bets Three to One.
BY LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK. July 5. (Special.) New
York Is taking only the most languid
Interest in the doings at Denver.
Outside of the professional politicians,
none of the New York State Democrats
will be In evidence at the convention. The
"special trains" pulled out with light
cargoes, and many of the regularly
elected delegates and alternates did not
even take the trouble to go to the ferry,
much less to board the Pullmans.
In the financial district, the result of
the convention and the result of the elec
tion has already been discounted. The
first uneasiness over the possibilities of
Democratic success, which followed the
Chicago convention have given place to
general belief that Air. Bryan will be
nominated without trouble and defeated
with ease.
Almost without exception the "Wall
street commission hduses have given
voice to this confidence in their "market
letters." which are issued at regular in
tervals for the information of their cus
tomers. Judging from them, the possi
bility of Bryan's election has received
absolutely no consideration. Here are a
few sample extracts from recent letters:
Rely on Common Sense of Voters.
"Ruslness men can now go ahead with
certainty," says Henry Clews & Co..
"feeling assured that Mr. Taft will be
our next President."
J. 8. Bache & Co. remark. "The nom
ination of Bryan and the election of Taft
are discounted."
Miller & Co. write, "We expect to see
the market advance considerably fur
ther, discounting the nomination of the
'Peerless One at Denver."
John H. Davis & Co. have made a care
ful study of the chances of the two can
didates. Their article concludes as fol
lows: "It is necessary to add that at this
time the Indications point to the nom
ination by the Democratic party of a
twice-defeated candidate, Mr. W. J.'
Bryan. We have little fear of the re
sult of a Presidential campaign waged
between these two contestants. There
may and there probably will be, recur
rent scares as to the upshot of the elec
tions before the balloting takes place,
but we have faced even more uncertain
and disturbing occasions before, only to
ascertain that our apprehensions were
groundless, and that the fundamental
common sense of the American people
can always be relied upon to assert
Itself. We believe that Mr. Taft will be
elected."
E. F. Hutton & Co. say, "As we near
the period for the Democratic conven
tion, securities maintain a firm tendency.
It would appear that bankers would
welcome the nomination of Bryan, as
being sure to elect Taft."
Defeat Bryan Without a Bolt.
Judged from conditions here. Bryan's
efforts to conciliate the Cleveland wing
of the Democracy have utterly failed.
The leaders of that faction are as bit
terly opposed to him as they were in 1896.
but they have learned wisdom by the
experiences of that year.
I'p to a few weeks ago there was a
good deal of talk in certain circles, con
cerning the advisability of a third ticket.
The men Interested could command suf
ficient funds to finance a National cam
paign, and the problem of when and how
to bolt was carefully worked out at
several conferences. It was said that the
election of Judge Alton B. Parker as
delegate at large from New York, was
one of the early moves of the game, it
being explained that Parker was to lead
the exodus from the convention hall at
Denver. The anti-Bryan men figured
that a bolt would be participated In by
the representatives of a majority of the
Eastern States, and several on the
border.
Recent developments, however, have
satisfied the conservatives that a bolt
would be an unnecessary expense, as
Bryan is doomed to defeat without it.
Besides, a number of the delegates ob
jected to a formal repudiation of their
party.
"We tried it In 1S9S." said one New
Yorker today, "and the trouble has kept
up ever since. All of us were read out
of the organization, and it has taken us
twelve years to regain positions of au
thority." "Should we bolt again, it would seal
our fate for all time to come. That Is
why the plan for a third ticket this
year has been abandoned.
"Careful investigation has convinced
us that Bryan has not the slightest
chance of election. The business in
terests of the country will not support
him. and the rank and file of the party
will bolt him.
"Bryan Is the candidate, not of Hope,
but of Despair. We realize that Byan
is utterly selfish, and would knife any
other man who might be nominated.
And he has a good-sized radical follow
ing, as was demonstrated In 1904.
"This year we intend to take a leaf
out of his book. It is useless to fight
him for the nomination, and we will not
say a word against him during the
campaign. But he will discover where
he stands when the votes are counted
in November.
"When Bryan is beaten for the third
time, he will undoubtedly retire from
politics forever. Then we will have a
chance to build the party up for the
next fight. It is useless to try to do
anything except to kill Bryan this
year."
Hill Enjoys Trip Through Europe.
David B. Hill personally demonstrat
ed the great Interest the "conservative"
Democrats have In the present cam
paign. He has gone to Europe, and will
probably not return until after election.
It may be added that this is Mr. Hill's
first trip abroad, and he is having an
enjoyable time, far better than if he
had remained here and contemplated
Bryan bossing the whole show.
Thomas F. Ryan is also on the other
side of the Atlantic. Mr. Ryan was an
active factor during the National cam
paign four years ago. His friends say
ha Is thoroughly convinced that the
best thing to do this Fall Is to nomi
nate Bryan once more and have the
agony over for good and all. Mr. Ryan
believes that Taft will be elected Presi
dent without any particular difficulty.

1905, when Major William Warner was
finally elected, has been in town this
week. He is thoroughly confident of a
sweeping victory for Taft. Speaking
of political conditions, Mr. Niedrlng
haus said:
Expect Taft to Carry Missouri.
"I consider Mr. Bryan an ideal candi
date for the Democratic party. Inas
much as I am a staunch Republican. I
believe that Mr. Bryan's nomination
would be of great benefit to the Nation,
because the fallacies which he presents
would be forever burled by the people
in his defeat.
"Mr. Bryan would have a better
chance to carry the Western States,
perhaps, than either Mr. .Johnson or
Mr. Gray, but in the East he would be
very weak.
"I am confident of a Republican vic
tory In Missouri, and I should not be
surprised to see Mr. Taft win by a
larger plurality than did President
Roosevelt In 1904.
"The great advantage to the country
I see in Mr. Bryan's running for Presi
dent is the ultimate termination of his
power and the reorganization of the
Democratic party. Mr. Taft represents
the ideals of the Missouri Republicans
absolutely."
Already one bet has been made on
the result of the election. An attache
of Mayor McClellan's office wagered $60
on Taft against $20 owned by' a Bryan
enthusiast.
"And I can get $100,000 to bet on
those odds," says the man who took
the Taft end. "It is worth giving
three to one-to pick up money."
So you can see that New Yorkers be
lieve that the campaign is over, the
votes counted and cast, and the cheers
directed for Taft.
And the action that may be taken at
Denver possesses for them purely an
academic interest.
DUBOIS MAKES LAST STAND
Seeks to Have National Committee
Recognize His Idaho Delegation.
DENVER, July 6. With the entire
delegation trailing at their heels, ex
Vnlted States Senator Dubois and Heit
feld. of Idaho, today made the rounds
of the various state delegations in the
Interest of the retention of their names
on the convention roll. Their seats are
being contested by a delegation which
claims that the Dubols-Heitfeld conven
tion was irregular.
"They contend." said Mr. Dubois, in
effect to the delegates whom they met,
"that some of our delegates were not
properly elected, but in reality tho con
test Is made by and In the Interest of
the Mormon organization. The Mormons
in Idaho are all Republicans and in
close alliance with the Republican party
of the state and Nation. They do not
participate In Democratic politics or vote
the Democratic ticket. Their only claim
to recognition by this convention is that
If the Democracy will cease Its fight on
polygamy and Mormon domination in po
litical affairs, it will get some of the
Mormon vote. The American citizens,
regardless of party in Utah and in Idaho,
are practically united in their determina
tion that the political power of the Mor
mon organization in politics and the con
tinuation of polygamous living phall be
brought to an end. The National party
In Its platform at St. Louis In 1904 de
clared strongly for the separation of the
church and state In political affairs and
the extermination of polygamy in the
United States. All of the Democratic
Senators in the Senate on the committee
voted to expel Apostle Reed Smoot from
the Senate and all the Democratic Sen
ators wtth the exception of four voted
in the Senate to expel him. They took
this position because it is proved that
Mr. Smoot belonged to an organization
which continued to teach and practice
polygamy. Tha position of American
Democracy is plain and unmistakable
and the contention of the delegation of
which I am at the head is that the Demo
cratic party should declare even more
plainly against polygamy in the approach
ing campaign than it has heretofore
done."
The National Committee will hear the
Idaho contest tomorrow.
BE
CONS il l
Bryan's Injunction Idea to Be
Only Radical Plank in
Document.
MORMON ISSUE UP AGAIN
Fred Dubois, of Idaho, Active With
Members of Committee on Reso
lutions Efforts to Squelch Ex
Senator Are Without Avail.
DENVER, Colo., July 6. Conservatism
has been the prevailing note of discus
sion on the subject of the National Dem
ocratic platform today. This discussion
has been indulged in freely among pros
pective members of the resolutions com
mittee as well as among leaders of the
party generally, and Mr. Bryan has been
quoted as being in harmony with the
idea.
The one radical plank which seems to
be conceded will go Into the document
will be the expression on the subject
of injunction as applied in labor dis
putes. Those who oppose strong language
on this subject are conceding that their
influence will not be potent to prevent
the adoption of a plank which will pledge
the party to an amendment of the law
which will make notice of the issuance
of a preliminary injunction imperative;
also that provision will be made for hear
ing of a case before a different Judge
than the one issuing the injunction, and
for a hearing of the facts in the case
before a Jury.
Dubois Very Busy.
There promises to be a struggle before
the resolutions committee over the ques
tion of an anti-Mormon plank. Four
years ago at St. Louis such a plank was
made a part of the Democratic National
platform and an effort Is to be made to
have it re-incorporated in that document.
Ex-United States Senator Fred Dubois,
of Idaho, has today been making an
active canvass or. the situation in behalf
of the plank. Mr. Dubois is involved in
a contest for a seat in the convention,
but he has announced that however that
may be settled he will go before the res
olutions committee with an anti-Mormon
plank and bring to bear every influence
possible in its behalf.
It Is asserted by the Utah delegation
that no such plank will be adopted.
Judge W. H. King, of Salt Luke, who
has been chosen as Utah's member of
the resolutions committee, has the unarw
imous backing at this delegation in op
position to the plank.
Says Mormonism Dead Issue.
His argument is that the Mormon ques
tion is a dead Issue. He asserts that the
practice of polygamy has ceased in Utah,
and that the only remnant of it is in
the lives of a number of old Mormon
patriarchs who married their wives long
before the practice was declared unlaw
ful and who are not by their quiet lives
creating a ripple in the new order of
things.
Efforts were made today, the matter
being engineered by members of the New
York delegation, to have Mr. Dubois
abandon his efforts for an anti-Mormon
plank, but without avail.
H. R. Fuller, Legislative Representative
of the Brotherhood of Railway Men, will
offer the eame injunction plank to the
resolutions committee that was presented
to the Republican convention at Chicago.
It recognizes the right of working men
to strike and to induce others to do so,
and concludes with a plank against the
use of injunctions without notice and
jury trial where the alleged contempt Is
not committed in the presence of the
court.

the Bryan chiefs, made a very definite
statement showing the expectations of
the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follows:
"Mr. Bryan will be nominated on the
first ballot.
"The Bryan forces now control 36 dele
gations and will have at least that many
members of the committee on resolutions
and possibly more. The platform adopted
will be in accordance with Mr. Bryan's
personal views and will express his well
known Ideas on all of the Important poli
tical issue3.
"Governor Charles N. Haskell, of Okla
homa, is now regarded as the leading
candidate for the chairmanship of the
committee on resolutions, but there are
many other prominent men being men
tioned for the place. It is needless to

chosen.
'Old Guard' Can Have Second Place
"The Vice-Presidential question may be
described as being 'in the air.' If the
men who call themselves the old guard
can unite on a. strong Eastern Democrat
the Bryan men will not show animosity,
as was the attitude of their candidate
toward Mr. Bryan in 1S96 and 1900. If
the Eastern Democrats fail to get to
gether on a man we will make a selec
tion from a hundred available candidates,
any one of whom would be satisfactory
to Mr. Bryan."
All of the Bryan men express the
utmost confidence in their ability to
carry out the programme outlined by
Mayor Dahlman.
Charles W. Bryan, the brother of the
Nebraskan, is looking after the Bryan
leaders as they arrive and is making the
compilations of Bryan strength. He said:
"Although we already have more than
enough to carry out our programme there
are still good seats on the band wagon."
Mr. Guffey enlivened, an otherwise
dull and sweltering afternoon by issu
ing a hot reply to Mr. Bryan's charac
terization of him as a "corporation man
who had taken the Pennsylvania dele
gation as the result of a conspiracy to
thwart the wishea of the party."
Mr. Guffey did not mince matters,
and his free use of expletives was ap
proved by a conference of the anti
Bryan leaders.
The arrival of delegations began early
this morning and has been going on
steadily all day, by all routes from all
directions and by regular and special
trains. One route reports 27 trains, stalling
the lines up from Kansas City and all
the other lines are equally choked with
the tide of travel. The local committee
started an elaborate plan of reception to
day with relays of brass bands which
welcomed each incoming delegation and
escorted it to its hotel, while "band cars."

and hilarious with trim black suits, shin
ing silk tiles and natty canes topped with
streamers. After them came the Okla
homans, true products of the soil, wtth
broad-brimmed sombreros, high boots and
the stain of travel. Delegations from
Florida and Alabama filed through the
streets during the morning and later
came delegations from South Dakota,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Maryland, Kentucky and Minnesota.
Bell for Vice-President, Maybe.
The Tammany braves, on several spe
cial trains, were anxiously awaited, but
word came that they stopped oft at
Omaha to go to church. They will be
here early tomorrow morning about the ,
time the Bryan home cohorts arrive from
Nebraska, Including the organization
from Lincoln, the Commercial Travelers
Club, which Is coming to lend vehemence
to the Bryan demonstration.
Many interesting convention figures are
added as the delegations come in. Tha
California delegation brought its head.
Theodore A. Bell, the temporary chair
man of the convention, who will sound
the keynote when the assemblage meets
next Tuesday. He is a fine product of
the Coast, over six feet tall with smooth
shaven, actor-like face, magnetic presence
and a reputation for stirring oratory.
There was talk tonight that if his key
noto speech struck the right chord the
hesitating delegations might be borne by
the force of oratory to the choice of a
Vice-Presidential candidate from the
Coast.
Another picturesque personality to
arrive was the fighting Mayor of Cleve
land. Tom L. Johnson, rotund and
Bmiling, just up from a council with
the leader at Lincoln. Others In the
star groups were Governor Folk, of
Missouri; ex-Senator Dubois, of Idaho,
who comes with an anti-Mormon fight
involved in the Idaho contests; Senator
Pettigrew, looking much the same in
dividual as when he was a power in the
United States Senate; Senator James
Smith, Jr., of New Jersey, also a power
In Pettigrew's time: and Senator Over
man, of North Carolina.
Sirs. Long-worth a Guest.
A strange figure in these gatherings
was ex-United States Senator Burton,
of Kansas, here after his tragic ex
perience, to give open allegiance -for
the first time to the Democracy.
Quite a number of diplomatists are
expected tomorrow, and about the same
time will arrive Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth. the President's daughter,
who will be an interesting figure on
the convention platform next Tuesday.
The Vice-Presidential situation had
undergone a change during the day,
owing to certain very definite subter
ranean information from Lincoln to the
effect that Mr. Bryan feels that it
would be wise to defer any definite
action as to the second place on the
ticket until the first place has been
finally disposed of. This comes in such
a. direct way that it will doubtless
have the effect of postponing any cau
cus action by the New York or other
delegations favorable to any particular
candidate. Meantime the various boom
lets are undergoing varying fortunes.
The Gray forces are as Insistent as
ever that Judge Gray will not take
second place, while' the Bryan forces
continue to talk of the availability of
Gray, Mitchell or Towne.
The arrival of Mitchell tonight with
Gompers'and other leading lights of
the labor world is expected to give an
Impetus to the Mitchell movement, al
though he comes primarily to aid Gom
pers In shaping the labor planks.
String; of Pearls for Professor.
A young and bashful professor was
frequently embarrassed by Jokes his
girl pupils would play on him. These
Jokes were so frequent that he decided
to punish the next perpetrators, and the
result of this decision was that two girls
were detained an hour after school and
made to work some difficult problems as
punishment.
It was the custom to answer the roll
call with quotations, so the following
morning, when. Miss A s name was called,
she rose. and. looking straight in the
professor's eyes, repeated: "With all thy
faults I love thee still," while Miss B's
quotation was: "The hours I spend with
thee, dear heart, are as a string of pearls
to me."
ARRIVE AT DENVER
Oregon Democrats Reach Con
vention City Sunday.
GEARIN HEEDS BRYAN CALL
Accepts Request to Second His Nom
ination, Robbing; Milt Miller
of Chance to Be Heard by
the Nation's Democracy.
BY FREDERIC V. HOLMAN.
DENVER, Colo., July 5. (Special.)
The Oregon delegation arrived at noon
today in its special car on time, and in
good health and spirits. All had a
pleasant trip, notwithstanding hot
weather. The delegation has made the
following appointments: Chairman,
Henry; secretary. Booth; honorary
vice-president, Matlock; resolutions
committee, Inman; credentials, Watson;
notification of President. Travis; noti
fication of Vice-President, Fry; Na
tional Committee, Miller. Headquarters
have been secured at the Oxford Hotel.
Gearln to Second Bryan's Nomina
tion. Delegate Fry left Portland before
the others and saw Bryan at Lincoln.
While there, Bryan requested Fry to
ask ex-Senator Gearln to second Bry
an's nomination. The latter also sent
a like request through Mayor Dahlman,
manager for Bryan. Gearln arrived at
Denver this morning to deliver an ad
dress tomorrow night at Denver to the
Knights of Columbus. '
This afternoon Gearln notified Mayor
Dahlman of his formal acceptance and
Gearln will second the nomination of
Bryan.
To do this Gearln must be a delegate.
This has been arranged by substituting
him for one of Oregon's delegates.
Miller, by reason of his supposed in
timacy with Bryan, had prepared a
speech for the nomination of Bryan,
which Miller expected would electrify
the convention and the Nation. The
most he can now expect will be that
it will be classed as one of the world's
great undelivered and unpublished ora
tions. Denver has attempted a good deal In
offering to hold a great National con
vention. Today it has the look of a
Christian Science town with its closed
barber shops and saloons. While its
streets have as few people as Port
land on a Sunday afternoon with a
baseball game on. The lobbies of the
hotels are crowded with people, ear
nestly endeavoring to save the Nation
and the Democratic party. The oppo
nents of Bryan still assert hopes to
defeat his nomination, based on figures
showing Instructed delegates less than
two-thirds of the convention. But the
overwhelming opinion here is that
Bryan will be nominated on the first
ballot. It Is commonly understood tha;
New York may name the Vice-President
if Its candidate is satisfactory to
Bryan. New York has not yet agreed
on its candidate.
KEYSTONE STATE IS IN LINE
Forty-Two Votes Can Already Be
Counted for Bryan's Support,
' DENVER. July 6. "Pennsylvania will
swing into line with the other states
for Bryan," declared ex-Congressman
James Kerr, of that state, soon after
his arrival today. "At least 42 of our
votes are favorable to him. and while
we shall make no effort to have the unit
rule enforced. I feel confident that when
the majority discover the situation they
will wheel into line."
Being asked regarding the situation
with reference to the National committee
man from Pennsylvania, Mr. Kerr re
plied: "We must have a new deal there: we
must have a man on the National com
mittee who represents the sentiment of
the real Democracy of the state. Colonel
Guffey does not meet that requirement.
I notice that the Colonel is very antag
onistic to Mr. Bryan. That is ingrati
tude: Mr. Bryan and myself are respons
ible for Guffey being in his present office.
They say he should be upheld because
he makes liberal contributions to cam
paign funds. That is the very reason
why he should be relieved from duty.
With him out of the way I can get a
thousand men to contribute and the
money they plve will be their own."
Woman Suffrage In Denmark.
London World.
The women of Denmark are rejoicing
over the granting of communal and mu
nicipal suffrage to them. A delegation
from the Danish National Suffrage Asso
ciation waited upon the Prime Minister
and the Minister of the Interior to pre
sent memorials thanking them for their
efforts in behalf of their countrywomen.
At the public celebration both ministers
delivered short speeches congratulating
the women on their victory. During the
jubilee banquet that night a telegram
was sent to the King, who returned an
answer expressing his good wishes for
the results of the reform.
Density of Population In Paris.
Federation Review.
Although there is a certain area of
about three and a half acres on Man

ulation is at the rate of 630,001) to the

a far greater average density of popula
tion than New York, the figures for Paris
being 79.300 a square mile and for New
York City proper 40.000 a square mile.
The average density of London's popula
tion is 37.000 a square mile, and that of
