ENDS CONTESTS
IN FOUR STATES
i Committee Beats Record in
Deciding Claims of Rival
Delegates.
; STOPS M'CARREN'S MOUTH
J Deposed Brooklyn Boss Becomes
Abusive Bitter Contest in Penn
J' sylvanla Dubois Wins First
Bound in Idaho Fight.
1 DENVER. July 6. In record time to--
cay the Democratic National committee
; disposed of all contests before It with
l the exception of those of two states
' Pennsylvania and Idaho which went
', fever until tomorrow morning. The gen-.
eral result was to sustain the delegates
' who came here with credentials from
' their state and district conventions. A
'total of 76 seats was involved in the
. conterts from Illinois, New York. Penn-
- sylvania. Idaho, Ohio and the District
' of Columbia. The work was done by six
sub-committees, four of which reported
today to the full body.
" Results Summed Vp.
- Roger Sullivan, of Chicago, was an
''easy winner of the 3) contested seats
from Cook County, which were disputed
by Robert E. Burke and his associates.
' Senator Fred T. Dubois was sustained
by the sub-committee which heard the
-Mormon contests from Idaho, but the
committee was not ready to make Its re-
. port to the full committee before that
body adjourned. Tom Johnson, of
Cleveland, was a winner in the Nine
teenth Ohio district, where he triumphed
over the sub-committee before the. Na
tional committee. The Rockwell dele
gates weit displaced and the two John
son delegates seated in their places. In
the ninth Ohio district the Garber fac
tion retained the a wo contestants over
the protest of Johnson.
McCarren's Abuse Choked Off.
Patrick McCarren. of Brooklyn, was
practically ignored In his contest against
-Charles F. Murphy for the 12 seats in
Kings County. New York. Before the
sub-committee he became so abusive of
ths Murphy-Coler men that he was not
- permitted to proceed and the meeting
was abruptly adjourned, with the de
' Vision to take no further action with re
gard to the contests. The full commit
tee sustained this course without debate.
In the District of Columbia contest,
where the entire delegation of six mem
bers was involved, the committee divided
the seats between the two contesting par
ties. Joseph Howley, of the Chirty-flrst Penn
sylvania district, whose right to his seat
was disputed by the Guffey people, was
sustained by the subcommittee. The
Pennsylvania contests, which involved
e'cht seats in the City of Philadelphia
and three In Allegheny County, provoked
' probably the most bitter discussion that,
was heard before any subcommittee.
Bitter Fight on Keystone State.
Charles Berwood Daly, of Philadelphia,
"appeared before the committee and ar
raigned Charles P. Donnelly and Thomas
J. Ryan, the leaders of the Guffey fac
tion In the districts. In the bitterest man
ner. He charged that the eight Guffey
delegates were elected by the aid of Re
publicans and that the rankest frauds were
perpetrated. Both Mr. Donnelly and Mr.
Ryan, who spoke in support of the reg
ular delegations, replied in kind to the
charges.
After listening to criminations and 're
criminations for an hour and a half, the
subcommittee took the contests under ad
visement and will report tomorrow morn
ing. Deaders of several of the contesting
delegations. Incensed by their defeat,
charged that the subcommittees were
packed against them. Little hope was ex
pressed by the opponents of Mr. Sullivan,
Mr. Guffey and Mr. Murphy that they
would win before the National committee.
Oklahomn Case Passed Up.
The matter of whether the Oklahoma
' delegation should be allowed 14 seats, as
accorded by the National committee, or 18,
a claimed by that state, was passed
along to the credentials committee. But
- 14. however, will appear upon the tem-
. porary rollcall.
The National committee adopted a suit
able expression of sorrow for the death
of James K. Jones, of Arkansas, the for
mer National chairman.

direct vote of the people; the guarantee

His View of Injunctions.
The injunction plank as drafted would
prohibit the Issuance of prohibitive wrts
without notice except in cases in which
It is evident irreparable damage might
be done to property. In that event the
plank would permit the Issuance of an
injunction limited to 10 days time, and
a hearing would be required on the sec
ond presentation of the case. Mr. Bryan
has given his friends to understand that
while he 'tenders his suggestions, he does
not desire that the plank committee
should feel tied to bis language. He is
willing that phraseology should be al
tered, if it can be Improved upon without
changing the sense.
Soon after arriving In the city, Mr.
Brown went into conference with Mr.
Haskell, who will be chairman of the
committee on resolutions, and laid be
fore him Mr. Bryan's views. Both of
them declined to discuss the platform.

ROGER C. SULLIVAN (AT RIGHT), WHO HAS BEEN RE-ELECTED
TO NATIONAL COMMITTEE IN SPITE OF BRYAN, AND UREY
WOODSON, OK KENTUCKY.
Judge Dunne's membership on the reso
lutions committee, so it is believed that
this plank represents Mr. Bryan's views:
"The right of a court of chancery to
intervene and protect the status quo be
tween litigants is unquestioned, but no
such writ should issue ex parte and with
out notice, except where It is clearly made
to appear that irreparable injury will re
sult unless the writ issued immediately
and without notice, and in such cases the
motion to dissolve such Injunction should
take precedence of all other leeal busi
ness in the court issuing such injunction,
and shall be heard and determined 'before
any other business is considered in such
court. In all cases where injunctions are
issued, with or without notice, an ample
bond shall be exacted of complainant, suf
ficient to cover all damages resulting to
defendant from the Issuance of such a
writ, including reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in moving to dissolve such writ.
In all proceedings for contempt for viola
tion of an injunction enjoining the com
mission of any act, which by the common
law -or by statute is made a crime, and
which is not committed in the presence
of the court, the defendant shall be en
titled to a Jury trial upon the Issue of fact
as to whether he has committed such
crime and thus violated such Injunction.
We favor the passage of a law amend
ing the chancery practice so as to secure
these results."

lines opposes the leasing system of

the Forestry Service of the Govern
ment. Tentative J'arlf Resolution. '
The tariff plnnk rame in for con
siderable discussion today, with the
result thatthls language was put for
ward tentatively as embodying the po
sition the party should take:
The Democratic party believes in tariff
for revnue only, but Inasmuch as the fX
penxra of the Government are great and
we are depending largely upon the Imposts
for the revenues for running the Govern
ment, which means the Imposition of a
tariff, we favor the laying of the tariff
' duties In such a manner that there shall
'be no discrimination in trhalf of any sec
,',tlon of the country or any industry.
... No one would be quoted as taying that
" this plank would be adopted In the form
,!given.
" Judge Powers, of Ctah. has transmlt
ted to the tentative resolutions commit-
t tee a plank he has received and ap
) ;proves. from' Samuel Newhouse, promi
, nently known in railroad, mining and
financial circles. Mr. Newhouse -wired
Judge Powers that the plank was writ
ten after a careful canvass of the tlnan
Vclal classes in New York. It recites the
- necessity of maintaining and even in
' creasing in some instances existing rail
road rates and tariffs. reofgnlxing the
rightfulness of Government regulation.
"The necogsslty for maintaining rates Is
stated. to be to pay the present high wage

Brings Bryan's Suggestions.
""' During the afternoon Mayor F. W.
Brown, of Lincoln, who is to be the Ne
braska representative on the committee
on resolutions, arrived with Mr. Bryan's
suggestions concerning a number of planks
of the platform in his pocket. Mr. Brown
said that it had not been Mr. Bryan's In
dention to prepare a complete platform,
but that It was his wish that the commlt-
tee Itself should perform this duty. He
declined to say what subjects were cov-
;red by the Bryan draft, but it is under
j stood through other channels that Mr.
- Bryan's memorandum deals especially

POLITICIANS PURSUE TAFT
CANDIDATE 1XDS LITTLE REST
IX MOUNTAINS.
l
Nearly Entire Day Taken Cp by
Conferences Over Chairmanship.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 6. With
the increasing number of confer
ences concerning the chairmanship of
the National committee, it is apparent
mat Mr. Tatt desires to have a chair
man whose selection shall be as nearly
unanimous as possible, but his own
preference for Frank H. Hitchcock
seems to be generally conceded.
When Judge Taft arose today he
more than ever realized what a difficult
task it Is to be a candidate for the Pres
idency and to attempt to secure rest even
amid the isolation of the mountains of
Virginia.
Early this morning a dozen big
boxes of records were delivered to his
office and his secretary superintended
the work of arranging their contents In
the file room, where they will be acces
sible during the next two month's. A
mass of correspondence Is coming to him.
necessitating his personal attention and
the dictation of many letters. But insist
ing upon dividing his time between work
and recreation he accepted a challenge
made by Frank B. Kellogg for another
game of golf on the mountain links. The
Presidential candidate and the "trust
buster" started out very soon after '
breakfast.
Mr. Taft's horses have arrived and
hereafter he will alternate golf with rid
ing over the mountain paths.
Mr. Taft feels that he is a subject for
congratulation because he has signed all
of his acknowledgements to letters of
congratulations received after his nomina
tion. He brought over 1500 of them from
Washington and has stuck closely to the
task of reading and signing them. His
mall is arriving with great regularity and
letters needing his personel consideration
are constantly increasing In number.
Today he had another conference with
Senator Crane, who expects to leave here
tonight accompanied by Representative
Lawrence of Massachusetts, who came
with htm. Mr. Crane's visit has set at
rest suggestions that he will be enlisted
in the active work of the campaign in
any important way. He has talked over
the situation in New England in great
detail and his suggestions have been
carefully noted by Mr. Taft.
Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, and
Representative McKlnley. of Illinois,
had an interesting discussion today
with Mr. Taft Senator Bevertdge's
talk concerned the difficulties stirred
up In his state by the action of the
convention as to the Fairbanks dele
gates and McKlnley concerning the
treasurership of the National commit
tee. The coming of Senator Beveridge
a day ahead of Senator Hemenway and
Representative Watson permitted Mr.
Taft to get information on the Indiana
situation before the coming of the men
who directly represent the Fairbanks
faction. The Btate is regarded as of
such importance that Mr. Taft con
siders It highly important that there
should be assurances of harmony there
over the chairmanship, whoever may
fill that position.
Representative McKinley is talked of
for the treasurership, but unaries J
Dawes. of Chicago, former Controller
of the Currency, Is still In mind for
that office. Mr. McKlnley's visit here
today will do much to clear up the sit
uation in this respect.
Representative James F. Burke, of
Pennsylvania, arrived today.

NATURE'S
PERFECT TONIC
There Is scarcely any one, no matter how vigorous and healthy, who
does not need a tonic sometimes. Little physical irregularities upset the
system, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the body feels tired and worn
out, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning that the-system is disor
dered and needs assistance to ward off, perhaps, some serious sickness or
ailment, S. S. S. is recognized everywhere as the best of all tonics, nature's
medicine, made entirely of healing, cleansing, invigorating roots and herbs,
a systemic remedy without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of
being the greatest of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circu
lation of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, improves the
appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of health to those whose
systems have been weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and
pleasantly than any other medicine, and those who are run down in health
should commence its use at once. It will thoroughly purify the blood and
tone up the system. S. S. S. is admirably suited for a systemic remedy
because it is free from minerals ; it may be used without harmful results by
persons of any age, and no unpleasant effects ever follow. ,
