.Democratic Zeaders, However, Say
JXenominatlon Will Be Virtually
Cnanimous Bryan Not Ex
pected to Oppose Platform.
CT. IX5UIS. Juns IS. Pre-conventlon
discussion centered largely today on
moves and suggestions to defeat plans
for the renominatlon of Vice-President
Marshall and put a new man on the
ticket with President Wilson. A the
number of delegates to the Democratic
Kational Convention grew hourly
greater, boomlets for rarlous favorite
cons appeared on the surface to rise
and fall with the tide of talk.
A move to defeat Vice-President
Marshall for renominatlon took well
defined form and substance when
Henry Morgenthau. who reoently gave
tip his post as Ambassador to Turkey
that he might engage in the work of
re-electing President Wilson. an
nounced that "a stronger man" than
Marshall should be named and brought
forward Secretary of War 'Baker to
run with President Wilson.
Newa Causes Stir.
News that Mr. Morgenthau was
booming Secretary Baker created some
thing more than mild discussion, for
It was pointed out that Mr. Morgenthau
had been cloee to -the Administration
and that It might Indicate that the
naming of Mr. Baker would not be
unacceptable.
Mr. Morgenthau hastened, however,
to make It clear that he was urging
Mr. Baker's nomination on his respon
sibility and Initiative, solely with the
desire of naming the strongest possible
candidate for the office.
National Chairman McCombs . said
tonight he had received a telegram
from Jacob Schiff. the New York bank
er, asking that a stronger candidate
than Mr. Marshall be named, and Mr.
Morgenthau also eald that he had a
letter from Mr. Schiff also requesting
that another than Mr. Marshall be put
on the ticket.
Talk that Secretary Baker's name
would be presented as a candidate for
Vice-President caused a rush of dele
gates to National committeemen and
other party leaders to know If there
had been any change In the plans to
rename Mr. Marshall. The informa
tion was quickly given that "noses had
bee,n counted long ago," and that while
one or two names other than Marshall's
'might be heard on the convention floor.
. the vote for him would be virtually
unanimous, if the nomination was not
made unanimous.
Mr. Baker Checks Move
"There has been no hitch in the plan
to rename the present Democratic tick
et." said National Chairman McCombs
tonight when asked about possibilities
of opposition to Mr. Marshall. National
Committeeman Mack, of New Tork.
also declared that the talk of upsetting
the plan to rename Mr. Marshall was
"silly and absurd."
Just before departing from Wash
ington for St. Louis, Secretary Baker
announced he was for Marshall and
that the mention of his own name was
merely "friendly enterprise." He Is
expected to stop all mention of his
name when he reaches this city late
tomorrow.
Booms for new candidates for Vice
Preident still appeared hourly, the last
one to come to notice tonight being
for Judge A. M. Jackson, of Wlnfleld.
Kan.
The delegation from Kansas Is to
arrive tomorrow.
The Nebraska delegation is In
structed as a unit for Governor John
II. Morehead for the Vice-Presidency,
hut it was reported tonight that when
Governor Morehead reaches St. Louis
tomorrow he will agree to renounce
his candidacy conditioned upon the
withdrawal of the candidacy of Roger
Sullivan, of Illinois. As Mr. Sullivan
never has seriously been a candidate
for Vlce-Preeident, his name being
brought forward by Illinois friends
simply with the desire to pay the state
leader a compliment. It appeared to
leaders tonight an agreement with
Governor Morehead could be reached.
Pennsylvania for Marshall.
A. Mitchell Palmer. National com
mitteeman" from Pennsylvania, came in
today with part of the delegates from
that state and promptly declared that
all the delegation Is for Marshall. Pal
mer said he made the announcement to
neip - Kin orr the little boomites."
William J. Bryan does not expect to
precipitate any fight on the party plat
form. That was the information
brought here tonight by a close friend
of the former Secretary of State, who
added that Mr. Bryan might not, after
an. go Derore the resolutions commit
tee and that he would not make any
10 ooiain a proxy. Mr. Bryan
la expected here late tonight or tomor
row, when Senator Ollie James, Presi
dent Wilson's choice for permanent
chairman: Secretary of War Baker and
other notable political leaders are due
to arrive.
Senator Stone, who is to be the cl,lr.
man of the committee on resolution.
issued a statement this afternoon In
which he characterized the nomination
of Justice Hughes by the Republican
parry as in every way bad and vicious,
it was a dangerous experiment, he
pointed out. for a great political party,
hard pressed, to invade the Supreme
Court and take down from the bench
one of Its justices to make him a can
didate for political office to meet and
eerve a party exigency.
Senator Stone's pronouncement gen
erally was taken to ' mean that the
Democratic party probably would make
a party issue against Justice Hughes
on the ground of his nomination to the
Presidency while on the Supremo Court
bench. Other leaders, however, were
not inclined to press this issue, recall
ing that the party drafted Alton B.
Parker when he was Chief Justice of
the New York Court of Appeals.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of .Labor, with
Secretary Morrison -. and jf her labor
leaders, arrived today bringing 14 labor
planks which they desire to have in
corporated into the party platform.
The National committee held & ses
sion today as a preliminary to the
opening of the convention on Wednes
day and formally arranged for the
temporary organization. Former Gov
ernor Martin Glynn, of New York, of
ficially was named as temporary chair
man and the man who will start the
convention and campaign with the
keynote speech. Only one seat that
h the Hawaii delegation among the
1092 in the convention was contested
before the committee. Two contests
for places on the new National com
mittee were deferred for decision by
the new committee when It meets Im
mediately after the final convention
session.

OREGON LIST HtJT VP TO WILL R.
KING BY COMMITTEE.
Nicholas M. Bell, of St. Louis. Formerly
of Salem, Gets Place and Sop

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Juno 12. (Special.)
Under authority given him today by
the National Committee, Judge Will R.
King will select ten Oregon Democrats
from among the visitors to the National
convention and seat them as alter
nates, the state having selected no al
ternates at the recent primary. Already
alternate badges have been bestowed
on Dr. J. W. Morrow, of Portland; C. O.
Peterson, of Eugene; C. S. Jackson,' of
Portland, and Bill Hanley, who in Chi
cago declared his purpose to vote for
Wilson next November.
The only outsider to sit as an alter
nate will be Nicholas M. Bell, of St.
Louis, formerly of Salem. Mr. Bell has
a long record as delegate to Democratlo
National conventions. Away in 1868 he
was one of the Oregon delegates to the
convention that met at Tammany Hall,
In New York, and nominated Seymour,
He has been a delegate from Missouri
to practically every Democratlo con
vention since then up to and including
the convention that first nominated
Bryan in 1896.
Mr. Bell is president of a large to
bacco establishment in this city, and
during his talk with the Oregon dele
gates today promised to "give them all
the tobacco they can eat and smoke
during their stay In St. Louis. As
showing their appreciation of Dr. Ball's
offer, the delegation Invited him to

he only drinks on Sundays.

WAGE CASES ARE RESET
No Reason Given for Calling for New
Argument in Supreme Court.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 12. By an order of the
Supreme Court "today the two cases ot
Stetler against O'Hara and others, and
Simpson against O'Hara and others, in
volving the Oregon minimum wage law,
will have to be argued over again be
fore the court. They were argued orig
inally on December 16 and 17, 1914.
While the court gave no indication of
the reason or the re-argument, it Is
probable that the death of Justic Lamar
and a division In the court are the
moving causes. Justice Brandele is dis
qualified from sitting in these cases,
as he filed a brief In them. No date for
the argument has been assigned.
Read The Oregonian's classified ads.
dent says nothing about one term nor
does it advocate a Presidential pri
mary. About all the President left to
the resolutions committee is the draft
ing of the planks dealing with woman
suffrage, prohibition and the Philip
pine question. If the committee can
solve those problems satisfactorily the
President thinks it will have done
enough.
Snffraxe May Bring- Scrap.
There may be a chance for a scrap
over suffrage, although tne over
whelming sentiment among delegates
is against a suffrage plank. It only
remains to be determined whether or
not it is expedient to go about as far
as the Republicans went to make suf
frage a non-partisan issue in the
woman suffrage states. Whatever else
the committee does, it will hold that
suffrage is a state and not a National
issue.
Prohibition will be thrown out. un
less it is decided to put in some mean
ingless plank. On the Philippine ques
tion, the resolutions committee will
concentrate its efforts in the hope of
producing a plank that will catch them
going and coming. It will not declare
flatly for immediate independence.
Until the President speaks positively,
there will be speculation over the
choice of a National chairman, and if
the President should keep hands off a
real fight might be developed. But
nobody expects the President to do
this and when he Indicates his choice,
that choice will be ratified.
President's Choice Final.
The President, for some reason, does
not want Fred Lynch, of Minnesota,
who appears to be the popular choice
among members of the National com
mittee. From what can be gathered.
Mr. Wilson inclines toward Homer
Cummings, of Connecticut. Whoever
he may be, if the President expresses
a preference, that will end it, and an
other chance for a scrap will disappear.
The other problem of his to catch
the Progressives is figuring promi
nently in the preconventlon delibera
tions. There has been a raft of talk
today about nominating for the Vice
Presidency James M. Parker, of Louisi
ana, the Progressive nominee for Vice-
President, but this plan is not meeting
with much general favor. To name
Parker, the Democrats must discard
Marshall, and to eliminate Marshall is
to greatly diminish Democratlo pros
pects of carrying Indiana, both In the
Presidential and Senatorial race. More
over, Parker is not such a big man in
the Progressive ranks as to be able to
swing the bulk of that party to Wilson.
He might bring with him some of the
more radical elements, the men who are
sorest at Colonel Roosevelt, but the
older Beads argue that those Frorres
elves will probably vote for Wilson
anyway.
Talk of kidnaping the 4,000.000 Pro
gressives, which is heard among the
young men who ara talking Parker
for Vice-President, causes the older
heads to smile knowingly. They are
aware that there are not 4.000,000 Pro
gressives left and that no one, unless
It be "Teddy," could swing them in a
bunch.
There is, however, some talk of so
shaping the Democratic platform as to
meet the approval of the Progressives,
but that wcruld be possible on only a
part of the issues. No one believes that
President Wilson will approve a plat
form that goes as far as the Progres
sive platform on Americanism, prepar
edness and foreign relations.- Nor is it
possible to draft Democratic planks
on the tariff, Mexico, woman suffrage
or the Navy that will come up to the
standard set by the Progressive conven
tion last week. The conclusion Is being
reached by the wiser Democratlo lead
ers that they can in no event get mora
than the soreheads among the Progres
sives, and they will get them without
making any particular concessions.
Apathy Canses Concern.
The apathy among Democrats is
causing real concern to the. party lead
era. Everywhere they find a feeling
among delegates that Wilson is sura to
win in November, but the leaders. Jolted
by the manner in which Hughes
launched his campaign, know this is
not true. They also know Hughes will
keep the Democrats on the defensive.
Too much harmony among Democrats
is a novelty, and to the minds of the
trained Democratic leaders it is a real
danger this year. , Hence the desire to
inject ginger into the convention, in
the hope of giving the Democratic
ticket a rousing send-off. But' how to
accomplish this nobody seems yet to
know.
When Senator Bill Stone, of Missouri.
blew into town he launched a bitter
tirade against Hughes because he had
been drafted from the Supreme bench.
Bill was greatly outraged, and thought
the Democratic platform should rebuke
the Republicans for Invading the sacred
precincts.
Muffler Put on Hughes.
But somebody put a muffler on Bill,
and he quickly changed his Una of
talk. Long-headed Democrats in a
hasty conference this morning decided
they can get nowhere by abusing
Hughes for the manner of his nomina
tion, since he was not a candidate, and
tried to discourage the use of his name.
Moreover, they realize that Hughes was
chosen because of the record he made
before he went on the bench and be
cause he was the one big Republican
not Identified in any way with the fac
tional quarrel in 1912.
To. set up a walling such as Stone
undertook, they concluded, would be a

Roosevelt. William Allen White, of
Kansas fame, a shining light of Bull
Moosedom, says there are three horns
to the Progressive dilemma. First, to
Indorse the nomination of Hughes as
a patriotic duty, putting separate lec
tors for Parker in the South; second,
to name a running mate for Parker
and make a superficial campaign to
keep the organization together; third,
to let the campaign go and reorganize,
not as a political party, but as a group
of agitators who will try without def
inite candidacies to influence candi
dates and platforms of the two old
parties to the Progressive viewpoint
by acting together in primaries and
elections.
Mr. White apparently decided to ac

GREAT FIGHT EXPECTED
Representative DiU, of Spokane,
Says Republicans Are Strong.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. June 12. (Special.)
Representative Dill, of Spokane, who
attended the Chicago convention, - ia
now looking- things over in St. Lou la.
Asked today what he thought of the
political outloot. he said:
"I do not think Hughes will be a
popular candidate before the country.
The Republicans cannot arouse any
enthusiasm for him. He and Fair
banks make a. frigid ticket. Of course,
Hughes may warm up. but he will have
to if he is going to get anywhere."
When Mr. Dill was asked what he
thought of Hughes- prompt resignation
from the bench and of his letter to the
Republican Convention, he changed
his attitude somewhat and after re
flection, said:
"Hughes will make a great fight be
cause the Republican party Is strong."

uncompromising way of doing things

tq find out what Uie big chlf has to
say. He may make up their minds
for them, but others ' see no need to
wait. The Progressive party is dead,
or at least put to sleep and they say so.
Henry J. Allen of Kansas, who stayed
with the sinking ship until the last.
says It's all over and Hughes will carry
Kansas and he is for him. The local
Progressive leaders as a rule have
come Into the Hi'ghes camp. Ogden
Armour. Alexander R. Revell and other
big bt.slne8s men who had declared
for Roosevelt are for Hughes. Oscar
Strauss, who had said that he would
support Wilson f Roosevelt should not
be nominated, has reconsidered and is
for Hughes. So it seems to be every
where. No Progressive anywhere has
come out for Wilson. They will either
support Hughes or will stay by the
Progressive wreck at least until June
25. when It will be either definitely
abandoned or its cargo somehow salvaged
Governor Johnson, by the way, says
positively that he will not take the
Progressive nomination for the Presi
dency. He knows he could not be
elected. Just as he knew Roosevelt
could not be elected.' He was willing
for Roosevelt to make the sacrifice.
Tne only troublesome figure on the
Hughes horizon appears to be the German-American
Alliance. It is boasting
that It had much to do with Hughes'
nomination and the tendency Is to ask
Hughes to inake himself quite clear as
to that indiscreet organization. But
Hughes knows that the way to grasp
that nettle Is to selra it firmly.
There is no way to distrust the high
and firm quality of his Americanism.
If we will read that nomination letter
fairly. He will doubtless have more to
say. Neither the German-American
Alliance nor any other special and de
tached group of citizens nominated
Hughes nor many of them together.
It was the great body of the Republi
can party, the party of patriotism. Na
tionalism and Americanism. E. B. P.

War Influence on Nomination Ab
sent, Says Paris Paper.
PARIS, June 12. Biographies of
Charles H. Hughes, the Republican
Presidential candidate, were printed to
day by the French press, and comment
upon the nomination was extensive.
"The decision of the Chicago con
vention," says the Temps, "teaches one
thing we should not forget, namely,
that the Kuropean war exercises much
less influence on the political affalra
of America than we had supposed.
Questions essentially American guided
the convention and considerations of a
general character were only Inci
dental." The Temps adds that Mr. Hughes had
maintained reserve, owing to the judi
cial position he occupied, favoring
neither one side nor the other in thi
European conflict, so that he will bo
able scrupulously to follow the prin
ciples enunciated by his party.
The Figaro points out that the can
didate Is well .acquainted with Europe,
coming here each year and usually vis
iting Switzerland, where he takes espe
cial interest in mountain-climbing. Hla
