FROM COOK COUNTY
Anti-Sullivan Delegation Seeks
Recognition.
PARADES DENVER STREETS
With Band Playing, Flags Waving
and Men Cheering, Windy
City Democrats Intro
duce Themselves.
DENVER. Colo.. July 6. The most ag
gressive and apparently determined dele
gation that has yet appeared in Denver
are the 22 contesting representatives of
Cook County, who arrived from Illinois
on a special train at 11 o'clock this morn
ing. With the delegation came 150 rep
resentatives of the Cook County Democ
racy, the big Democratic organization
of that city, headed by a band of 0
pieces.
Forming In column at the depot, at
the foot of Seventeenth street, the dele
gation marched for an hour through the
principal streets with the band playing
patriotic airs and the delegates singing
campaign songs, cheering for Bryan and
waving flags and banners.
Speech in Hotel Lobby.
The delegation, arriving at their head
quarters at the Albany Hotel, formed in
a group in the street on the front of the
hotel and gave vent to great enthusiasm
in songs and cheers. In the lobby of
the hotel. Judge William Prentiss, of
Chicago, one of the contesting delegates,
and the man who will make the principal
fight for the delegation before the Na
tional committee and the credentials com
mittee, addressed a crowd which com
pletely fllled the lobby and corridors of
the hotel and spread far out into the
street.
"We are here," said Judge Prentiss in
his speech, "as the true Democrats of
Illinois. We are here in the interest
of justice and fair play, which has been
denied us in Chicago. We are here for
William J. Bryan, and we are the only
properly accredited delegation from Chi
cago to this convention which does rep
resent him and what he stands for."
Fighting: Sullivan Forces.
The contesting delegation claims 22
seats In the National conver 4on, two
of which are seats of delegates at large.
The contested districts are in Cook Coun
ty. The contests are directed against
the Roger C. Sullivan faction, and is a
continuation of the bitter fight that has
been raging in Chicago for nearly five
years. The fight centers about the place
of National committeeman from Illinois
now held by Sullivan. If the contesting
delegation Is seated. Sullivan will be
turned down for re-election, and Millard
F- Dunlop. a banker of Jacksonville and
close friend of William J. Bryan, will
be chosen for the place.
The Burke-Prentiss delegation will con
tend that the state convention, which
selected the Sullivan delegates, was
illegally held, in that it was called at
a time which did not allow for party
primaries In Cook County as required
by law. and that the delegation to the
state convention from Cook County was
selected unlawfully.
and out of employment, W. C. Davidson,
a young salesman, attempted suicide by
swallowing strychnine at Sixth and
Washington streets at 4 o'clock yester
day morning, and to the quick action and
presence of mind of W. P. Thomas, night
cierk at Rowe & Martin's drugstore, the
young man owes his life. i
Davidson, while resting in an auto
mobile standing at the comer, suddenly
took several strychnine tablets from his
pocket and swallowed them. The chauf
feur saw that something was wrong and
called Thomas outside. The drug clerk
saw the young man was in convulsions
and thought Immediately of strychnine
poisoning. An effort to pry open his
jaws failed, whereupon Thomas hastily
secured a quantity of chloroform and ad
ministered the drug, which served to re
lax the muscles and permitted him to
administer the antidote. Sergeant of Po
lice Wendorf had the would-be suicide
conveyed to St. Vincent's Hospital. He
will suffer no ill effects from his rash
act, and will be able to leave the hos
pital today. He Is a young man of good
family and yesterday expressed deep re
gret for his attempt at self-destruction.

Replies to Dr. Matthews He Will Do
All In His Power to Abolish
Betting at Races.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 6. (Special.)
While he was in this city yesterday,
Governor Mead received a letter from
Rev. Dr. Matthews, asking him if it
was possible for the executive to use
his power to compel local peace officers
to act on conditions at the King
County race track to effect it closing
and if not. he asks, "Will you aid in
the enactment, by the next legislature,
of a law prohibiting pools, books and
all kinds of race track gambling? Let
me have your promise."
Governor Mead in his reply said: "I
am clearly, of the opinion that in order
to suppress and prohibit the evil ef
fects and Influences of race track
gambling such as you- describe
in your letter, it will be necessary
for a statute to be enacted. If
elected Governor, I will recommend
and urge upon the next legislature
the passage of a law making it a
felofiy to make books or sell pools on
races or similar contests.
'Amateur contests of skill and strength
between individuals and bona tide con
tests of speed between horses, when un
accompanied by the debasing and de
moralizing lniiuence of gambling, are
welcomed by every lover of sport and
healthy exercise. All sports, however,
are not vitiated by the presence of the
book-maker and the pool-seller and merit
gives place to fraud, deception and dishonesty.
"Careful fathers, who would other
wise enjoy having their sons participate
in and view these amusements and
sports, now view with fear their at
tending such places. This is the mct
insidious and harmful species of gambl
ing followed today and I pledge you my
earnest co-operation either in public life
or as a private citizen in abolishing race
track gambling from this state."
TAKES UP ISSUE IX SALEM
Bailey Contends Reld's Payments
Are Short of Receipts.
SALEM. Or., July 6. (Special.) Dairy
and Food Commissioner Bailey and Jus
tice of the Peace Reid, of Portland, are
engaged In a heated controversy over the
question of the amount or money wnicn
should be paid into the State Treasury
by Mr. Reid as fines for violation of the
pure food act. It seems that Mr. Bailey
has been reporting to the State Treasurer
the amount of the fines imposed by Jus
tice Reid and during the last 18 months
Mr. Bailey contends that Justice Reid
should have paid into the Treasury about
$1000. whereas his payments fall short
of that amount by $200 to $300.
As Justice of the Peace Reid insists
that he does not go out of office until
January, no final accounting has been
had. Mr. Bailey has an official interest
in the payment of this money, for the
reason that he depends in part upon the
fines for the money with which to pay
the expense of the enforcement of the
pure food law. He will, therefore, per
sist in his efforts to secure from Mr.
Reid the payment of the balance which
he believes to be due. The State Treas
ury Department is taking no part in the
effort to collect the additional funds.

Elder Statesmen of Japan to Go
Over Cabinet Situation.
TOKIO, July 6. The elder statesmen
have been summoned to meet July 7,
when the political situation, growing
out of the resignation of the Cabinet,
will be considered. At a meeting of
the leaders of the Seiyukai party to
day, a serious split developed, but It
is not considered serious enough to
prevent Marquis Saionjl from deliver
ing sufficient votes to guarantee a
majority for Marquis Katsura aa
Premier of the new Cabinet to be
formed. A danger In the situation
appears to be that the illness of Mar
quis Saionjl may make it possible for
the leadership of another who will
be unable to control a majority.
The situation has developed an in
teresting struggle between the Yama
gata faction and Prince Ito, who
trongly favors the Seiyukai party. In
the meanwhile. Count. Admiral Yamo-
moto and Baron Terauchi, the latter a
strons: Seiyukai party man, have not
given up the hope that the failure of
Marquis Katsura to command a ma
jority means the success of Terauchi
because of his strength among the
Seiyukai party.
