Bryan Discusses Parker
as a Candidate.
SILENCE SHOWS WEAKNESS
New York Platform Is Dishon
est and .Evasive,
PANDERS TO CORPORATIONS
Nebraskan Saya It Should Defeat Any
Candidate, and Pays His Respects
to Hill and Other Re
organizers. o
YIEWS OF W J. BRYAN.
Judge Parker Is not a fit man to be
nominated either by the Democratic
party or by any other party that stands
for honesty or fair dealing In politics.
The New York platform Is ambiguous,
uncertain, evasive and dishonest. It
would disgrace the Democrats of the
Nation to adopt such a platform, and
It ought to defeat as an aspirant for a
Democratic nomination any man "who
would be willing to hae it go forth
as a declaration of his -views.
Can any one doubt that with such a
platform the party would be mortgaged
beforehand to the corporations?
The President to "be elected this Fall
will doubtless hae the appointment of
one or two, and possibly three. Su
preme Court Judges. If his sympathies
are with the corporations he will
doubtless appoint Judges satisfactory
to the corporations.
"With a candidate willing to run upon
the New York platform the party could
secure as large a campaign fund as the
Republican party has eer secured.
The issue presented today in the trust
question and in all the other questions
with which we hae to deal, is the i
question between human rights and the j
so-called property rights. j
If we are to take the platform as an I
indication of what the next Democratic i
platform le to be, then -we will be un- t
Able to deny the secret purpose of the J
reorganlzers to turn the party oer to
predatory -wealth. ,. '" J
I, for one, am not willing that the T
Democratic party 6hall becomo the tool I
of the corporations; I am not willing I
that it shall become the champion of t
organized -wealth. I
CHICAGO, April 23. William J. Bryan
addressed a large audience tonight In the
Armory of. the Second Infantry, at the
corner of Curtis street and Washington
boulevard. The place -was packed to Its
utmost capacity, and a large number of
people -were unable to get through the
doors.
The meeting was entirely an affair of
Mr. Bryan's, he having rented the Arm
ory and paid all expenses of the meeting.
He -was particular to have it understood
that his address was not In favor of, or
against, any particular aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for President. His
subject -was: "The New York Platform."
This he repeated several times during the
course of his speech.
In order that his address might not have
ae appearance of being delivered under
any particular political influence, Mr.
Bryan was his own presiding officer and
introduced himself to his hearers. His ad
dress was chiefly as follows:
"As it is somewhat unusual for a po
litical speech to bo made as this one
is tonight, let me preface my remarks
with an explanation. I have hired this
hall, and I Introduce myself, because I
do not care to speak under tho aus
pices of any club or organization which
is committed to any particular aspirant
for office. My concern is not about the
name or the personality of the nominee,
but about the principles for which the
xemocrauc party is to stand.
"While many of the papers seem to
assume that tho contest for the Demo
cratic nomination Is necessarily be
tween Judge Parker and Mr. Hearst and
that every Democrat must either be for
one or the other, such a position Is il
logical and without foundation. Those
who are classed as reorganlzers, and by
that I moan those who would carry the
party back to the position It occupied
tinder Mr. Cleveland's administration,
aro not entirely agreed among them
selves as to the proper candidate upon
whom to concentrate their votes, and
so those who aro in sympathy with the
spirit of our recent platform may dif
fer as to the relative availability of
those who represent tho progressive
clement of tho party.
His Position One of Neutrality.
"M3' position Is one of neutrality. I
regard as available all candidates who
are in favor of making the Democratic
party an honest, earnest and courage
ous exponent of the rights and interests
of the masses, and I regard as unavail
able all who aro in sympathy with or
obligated to tho great corporations that
today dominate the policy of the Re
publican party and seek through the re
organizers to dominate the policy of the
Democratic party. I have no favorites
among: those on our side, and no special
antagonism to those who represent the
reorganlzers. I believe the line should
be drawn between principles, not be
tween men, and that men should only
be considered as they may b.e able to
advance or retard tho progress of the
smocracy.
Why Parker Is Not Available.
"When, some two years ago. I became
satisfied that ex-Senator David B. Hill
was planning to be a candidate, I point
ed out the objections to his candidacy.
When the Cleveland boom was launched
I pointed out the objections to his can
didacy, ana now tnat Mr. jarKer seems
to be the leading candidate, though not
tbe only candidate among the reorgan
lzers, I desire to present some reasons
why he cannot be considered as an
available candidate for a Democratic
nomination, and, I find these reasons,
not in his personality, but In his posi
tion upon public questions. For a year
he has been urged to speak out and de
clare himself upon the important Issues
of the coming campaign, but he has re
mained silent. If this silence meant
Vio TirtHrkflir Vnn.iT Vifn rlnwa thnsft whn
have been loyal to the party in recent j
years would stand upon an equal foot
ing with those who deserted, but It Is
evident now that while to the public
generally his views are unknown, they
are well known to those who aro urg
ing his nomination.
New York Platform Dispels Doubt.
"Whatever doubt may have existed
on tms subject heretofore has been dis
pelled by tne platform adopted by the
New York State Convention, and taking
this platform as a text, I am sanguine
enough to believe I can prove to every
unbiased mind that Judge Parker Is not
a fit man to be nominated either by
the Democratic party or by any other
party that stands for nonesty or fair
dealing in politics I cannot hope to
convince those who favor deception and
fraud in politics, but I "am satisfied we
now have evidence sufficient to convict
Judge Parker of absolute unfitness for
the nomination. If he did not know of
the platform in advance, if he did not
himself dictate it or agree to It. ho has
allowed it to go out as his utterance,
for the convention was dominated by
his friends, and adopted a resolution
presenting him as the candidate of the
pany 01 me bull".
Issues Before the Country.
"What are the issues oofore the coun
try? The trust question is certainly an
issue, and yet there Is nothing in that
platform that gives any encourage
ment to the opponents of the trust
"Imperialism is an issue. Our Uov
ernment is now administering a colon
ial policy accordirg to the political
principles employed by George in a
century and a quarter ago, and yet
there is not in this platform a single
word relating to the question of im
periaism! not a plank that defines the
party's position on that subje t! not a
protest against the surrender of the
doctrines of self-government!
"The labor question is an issue. The
laboring men.have been before the com
mittees of Congress endeavoring to se
cure three important measures. One is
the arbitration of differences between
corporations engaged in interstate com
merce and their employes. Both the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms de
clared In favor of arbitration, but the
New York platform not only falls to re
fer to the arbitration plank of these

f
Since the Crooked River Is Already
Controlled, to Utilize the Des
chutes Would Be Very
Expensive.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 23. The Secretary of the
Interior has received a petition from 300
meinbers of tho Farmers'. Co-operative
Irrigation Association of. Oregon asking
that a thorough investigation be made
by the reclamation service to determine
the Irrigation possibilities of Crook Coun
ty. Tne petition has the indorsement of
Senator Mitchell.
It happens that representatives of tho
reclamation service have made extensive
Investigations In Crook County, and
reached the conclusion that there Is no
present opportunity for the Government
to enter this field. There are several at
tractive Irrigation projects along the
Deschutes River, but all of these are
now covored by segregations made by
the State of Oregon under the Carey act,
and the Government does not desire to
interfere with the plans of private com
panies. The only other water available for irri
gation In Crook County Is the Crooked
River, and tne Summer flow of this
stream. Is now fully utilized. As It would
bo very expensive to dlveit water of the
Deschutes acioss the Crook River Val
ley onto the distant arable lands, the
Government has decided it can do noth
ing In Crook County unless private en
terprises under the Carey act are aban
doned. Should this occur, the Govern
ment -would-not --besitate"to,-beglirwprfc
on. this scheme.
INDIAN OFFICIALS ARE LET OUT
"Washington and Idaho Men Found to
Have Acted Indiscreetly.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ngton, April 23 By direction of the Pres
ident, Albert M. Anderson, Indian Agent
at Colvllle, Wash., and E. T. McArthur,
bonded superintendent in charge of Nez
Perces reservation In Idaho, today severed
their connection with the Government ser
vice. Charges were brought against An
derson some time ago, which resulted In
an Investigation by Indian Inspector Nes
ler and Special Agent McNIchols. These
Investigations disclosed serious Irregular
ities at the Colvllle agency, particularly
In money matters, and while It was not
shown that Anderson profited In any way
through the Irregular transactions. It was
concluded that Anderson could not longer
be continued In office. On recommenda
tion of Secretary Hitchcock, he was dis
missed. McArthur was not dismissed outright,
but his resignation was called for and
today accepted. Like Anderson, McArthur
became involved In Irregularities, but Is
not believed to have profited personally.

It was ascertained that he deposited Gov
ernment and Indian money Intrusted to
his care In a private bank in Cul du Sac,
Idaho, of which bank J. S. "Martin, chief
clerk of the Nez Perces agency. Is oresl
dent, and A. J. Montgomery, assistant
clerk, is director.
It was charted that McArthur was a
heavy stockholder In this bank, but this
charge was not substantiated. McArthur
erred in not depositing the funds In a
Government depository or a National
bank. He -was asked to resign because
of Indiscretions which. In the opinion of
Secretary Hitchcock, disqualified him
from longer holding office.
Anderson's successor will be appointed
by the President. McArthurs successor
will be promoted from the Indian ser
vice, and it Is understood he has already
been selected. The Colvllle agency pays
51500 per annum; the Nez Perccs superin
tendency J1600.
SPECIAL STAMP FOR '05 FAIR.
Postal Department Is Expected to Au
thorize the Issue Soon.
- OREGONIAN EWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 23. At the suggestion of
Senator Mitchell", the Postofflce Depart
ment has taken ud the matter of pre
parlng a special Issue of postage stamps
to commemorate the Lewis and Clark
Centennial. The department can Issue
such stamps -without special authority of
Congress, and in vlew'of the department's
attitude on the occasion of other ex
positions, It Is expected that the Post
master-General will soon authorize a spe
cial Lewis and Clark issue.
Senator Mitchell has also requested tho
department to supply the Portland Post
office with a special cancelling stamp
bearing some such words as "Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition, 1905, Port
land. Oregon," or "World's Fair, Port
land, Oregon, 1305."
This suggestion has been taken under
advisement Senator Mitchell believes the
stamp Issue and the special cancellation
stamps will be an excellent means of ad
vertising the Exposition.
MORGAN TALKS TOO MUCH.
Reason Why Gorman Was Selected
Conferee on Canal Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 23. The selection of con
ferees on the Panama Canal zone bill
was made by Senator KIttredge, who had
charge of the measure In the Senate.
The practice in such cases Is to allow
the selection of conferees to the men
who have had charge of the bill. This
bill was Introduced by KIttredge, report
ed by him, and he steered It through the
Senate by common consent of the Re
publican members of'the canal commit
tee. It was Kittredge's idea in select
ing Gorman to get rid of Morgan, and
avoid long speeches In conference that he
has heard in the committee, and in the
Senate e"ver sinceJe"canai question lias
been up. There was no substitution of
Gorman for Morgan. In selecting the
Republican conferees, Piatt, Mitchell and
Millard were passed oved for KIttredge,
Dryden and Hopkins. This was done
by general understanding.
Bid for Puget Sound Work Too High.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 23. Bids were opened at
the Navy Department today for the erec
tion of two buildings at the Puget Sound
navy-vard. T. Ryan, of Seattle, was the
lowest bidder on the three-story boat
shop, asking $165,000, while the St. Paul
Foundry Company, of St. Paul, was the
lowest bidder on the steel storage build
ing, his figure being 530,725. As only
$100,000 has been appropriated for the
boathouse, it is likely bids will be asked
for again. The storage shed bid comes
within the appropriation.
Northwest Grazing Permits.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 23. The Secretary of the
Interior today Issued grazing permits for
5500 sheep in the northern division of
the Cascade reserve, and 2000 sheep in
Rainier reserve. Washington.

The feature of the day in the House
was the charge of Dalzell against
Cockran that he had -worked for hire
for the election of Mr. McKlnley. De
nouncement of this charge, and the
gentleman who made it, was in lan
guage bitter with resentment.
Two of the "heavyweight" speakers
of the House of ItepresentatUes held
Bwar. Incidentally, the bill for a com
mission to investigate the question of
ship subsidy was passed. Hepburn
(la.) first aroused and held Republican
enthusiasm at a high pitch. He yield
ed the floor, which was taken posses
sion of by Cockran (Dem., JJ. Y.). who
brought from his Democratic colleagues
thunderous applause and cheers. Each
speaker ,ook "the other side ,of the

WASHINGTON, April 23. Wlien the

Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The
committee Includes Representative Her

the Senate amendment to the pension.
appropriation bill.
The conrarence report on the naval ap
propriation bill was called up by the
chairman, Foss, who explained the agree
ment reached. The report was adopted
without division.
The conference report on the bill to
ratify an agreement with the Crow In
dians of Montana was adopted.
Bills were passed "for the protection of
the public forest reserves and National
parks In the United States." To amend
the act extending the coal land laws to
Alaska,
The bill for the Interstate Commerce
Commission to investigate the merchant
marine was taken up and Grosvenor (O.)
announced that a vote was to be reached
this afternoon.
He then yielded one hour to Hepburn
(la.). Hepburn referred to the criticism
of the President by KItchIn (Dem., N.
C.) yesterday.
The gentleman, he said, was a member
of a co-ordinate branch of the Govern
ment, "yet you listened to the bitter, yea
the criminal, denunciation of the Presi
dent. This was a depredation to the
Nation before the world," he declared.
Turning his attention to Democratic
Presidential possibilities. Hepburn said
that "when that younsr giant of the West
had begun to move over the troubled
Democratic waters, it became apparent
to the leaders of that party that some
thing must be done."
This young man. William R. Hearst,
was not liked by the Democratic House
leaders, nor the ' Democratic Senators,
but they saw that he must be nominated
unless something was done.
. How Parker Came to Be Chosen.
"So the men who had said nothing but
Cleveland," he continued, "those who
had ald Gorman or Olney, all got to
gether In conference, and scratched
their ranks -with a fine-tooth comb and
finally discovered a man who had never
uttered a single political sentiment, but
had voted the Democratic ticket; he was
a friend of Cleveland and had not bolted
Bryan. At once they said 'this is our
man.'
'But when the masses of the Republi
can party shall name by acclamation
Theodore Roosevelt, it will be because
they know his sentiments, they know his
Integrity, they know his intelligence
and" wisdom and can trust him."
Cockran (Dem., N. Y.) took the floor.
He began by remarking that there never
was a better Illustration of the close con
nection of the vicious principle of pro
tection with all other vicious legislative
propositions than thl3 bill. Ardent
patriot that he Is, Cockran said, he did
not suppose that even the gentleman
from Ohio (Grosvenor) would advise
making up the loss In any other business
excepting out of the Treasury.
The ship subsidy presented the full
Issue between the parties, he said. The
challenge had been made by Messrs.
Hepburn and Grosvenor for the Demo
crats to name tho issue.
"They would name it prosperity." he
continued, "but prosperity is no issue.
All men who labor seek prosperity. We
seek abundance by civilized methods;
you perhaps quite unconsciously seek it
by a return to the methods of barbarism.
The difference between, the two parties,
which were Indicated in every Republi
can "song." ws that the Democratic
party did not know what It wanted and
did not know how to get it; the Republi
can party knew what It wanted and
always knew how to reach out for It.
The Democratic party was essentially
one of divisions. The Republican party
had an appetite and knew how to gratify
It, and the Democratic party had beliefs
for the good of the country. On these
beliefs battles were fought to the finish.
Many Hold Divergent Views.
We are going Into the campaign with
distracted feelings, many of us holding
divergent views. That Is a feature of
Democratic: procedure. That's why we
are going to hold a convention. You are
exposed to no such peril. I congratulate
you on your security. You will hold a
mass meeting. Your proceedings are
already arranged for you In a public build
ing at the other end of Pennsylvania ave
nue." As to the platform, Cockran said if the
New York Democratic platform t ere eva
sive, he wondered what would be the
terms of that written In the White House.
Cockran humorously referred to a. remark
said to have been made by President
Roosevelt about the good and bad trusts.
He said that naturally bad trusts were
those which raised prices. A great on
slaught had been made on one which did
not raise prices, the Northern Securities
Company, and It had been compelled to
change Its base. The trusts which raised
prices were those which were protected
by a tariff wall.
Dalzell's Remark Angers Him.
Dalzell (Pa.) asked Cockran If he had
the same views when he was making
Republican speeches in 1836.
Cockran responded that he never made
a Republican speech In his life; that he
supported McKlnley when the people had
forced a financial plank In the platform
which met his (Cockran's) approval.
"I will state that I have been informed
that It was profitable to the gentleman
from New York to support McKlnley
when he did," remarked Dalzell (Pa.),
amid applause and laughter on the Repub
lican side.
"That Is a statement," replied Cockran
with vehemence, "which has been made
wherever there has been found a mouth
foul enough to utter words behind which
there was no conscience. (Democratic ap
plause.) I challenge the gentleman and
all the cohorts of vice and crime and cor
ruption that are embodied In the Republi
can party to show that the National Com-

The McBrlde faction was In absolute con

The convention Indorsed Roosevelt and
Representatives Jones and Cushman: H.

delegate. A fight was made on Sweeny
and bitter language was handed back and
forth, but Sweeny won out against
Charles R. Conner on rollcall.
The railroad forces, led by Judge M. J.
Gordon, went down the line flshting for
an uninstructed state delegation, but
showed their acquiescence to the inevit

Little Prospect of Fight.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 23. (Special.)
There Is little prospect of a fight In
the Democratic County Convention on
Monday. Though the Hearst men prob
ably have a shade tho better of it In the
county representation an understanding
has been reached between John Y. Terry,
the Hearst representative In this state,
and L. C. GHman, who has led the fight
against Hearst, whereby both men will
be recommended for National delegates.
Terry would, unless tied up in another
direction, support Hearst, while GHman
would fight his nomination blttorly.
This programme, sanctioned by the
Hearst leaders. Is bitterly resented by
some of the hotter-headed Hearat fol
lowing, who wanted to keep GHman at
home. The latter, however, has been so
long in the front of Democratic fights m
the county that he will be Indorsed on
account of his standing.
It is an open question whether there
will be any effort at Instructing the dele
gates to the State Convention. Some
of the Hearst leaders declare they will
be satisfied with the election of a ma
jority of known Hearst followers on the
state delegation.
