THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. JULY 19. 190S. BRYAN A JOKE TO TAMMANY men Delightfully Optimistic for Publication. REGARDS TICKET AS DOOMED Has No Real Hope It Will Win Next November. BACK IT PERFUNCTORILY Boss Murphy Played Master Politics at Denver Directed All Ener gies to Xext Year's City Campaign in New York. BT LLOYD P. LONERGAN. NEW YORK. July 16. (Special.) Most of the Democratic delegates have drifted bai k to town. A few of them are still traveling about in the Yellow stone and on the Coast, but the major ity of them were delighted to come back the quickest way possible. Charles F. Murphy Is the happiest man in town these days. Murphy was treated with marked distinction by the big chiefs In the Colorado metropolis, and for the first time in its history. Tammany was one of the features in a Democratic National Convention. Ordi narily, at such gatherings. Tammany leaders are afraid to venture on the street without an escort, for fear of being mobbed. Murphy is delightfully optimistic for publication. His district leaders, taking their cue from him, talk in the same strain. One would imagine, to hear them, that they regarded the 39 electoral votes of New Yoik as already eigned, sealed and delivered for Bryan. Murphy Thinks Ifrynii Will Lose. The real fact of the matter is that Murphy regards Bryan as foredoomed to defeat. The organization will sup port the ticket, of course, but no blood vessels Will be strained. It will simply be part of the day's work. A careful analysis of the doings of Murphy compel the admission that the Tammany boss played master politics at Denver. The 78 delegates started West bound by the unite rule. Murphy had more than a majority, and whatever he said would be accepted as law by the delegation. That naturalfy simpli fied matters right at the very start. It was up to Murphy, as an Individual, to say how they should vote. Bryan Sentiment Too Strong. It is not betraying a secret to say that Murphy personally preferred the nomination of cither Gray or Johnson to that of Biyun. And he left for Den ver with the intention of "smashing' the Xcbraskan, if that was possible. But the Tammany boss is a cautious, close-mouthed individual. He had no Intention of getting outside the breast works unless ho was convinced that a successful war could be carried on. After a survey of the ground, he was convinced that the opposition had abso lutely no cliance, whereupon he climbed on the Imuu wagon witli all the grace possible. Murphy made two oilier plays that endeared him to students of politics. One was his absolute refusal to name the man for second place. It was up to hlin to say the word. Everybody agreed that Tammany should select the Vice-PresidontiaV candidate. In this way. the confiding Bryaniles agreed. Now York State would be absolutely assured to their leader. But the canny Murphy did not see it In that way at all. He knew that Bryan would cost the party New York, and he did not care to be placed in a position whore Tammany would be called upon to assume a shaie of the responsibility. Whereupon he caused a large number of New York booms to be trotted out Into the hotel corridors. You could hardly turn in any direction without running against at least one. It would aeem ns if every Democrat in the Km plre State wanted to be Vice-Vresident. Murphy Avoids Trxiuble. Naturally, this furnished Murphy the excuse he desired. He told the Bryan leaders that It would be folly for him to designate the candidate, as all the other "! New York candidates would be unhappy. In this way Murphy avoided any re sponsibility for tile trouble that he sees looming up for the party in November. He Is also thoroughly in line with Bryan, and entitled to a seat at the Democratic tablo, if there- is a table after March 4. The "New York platform" was an other Instance of Murphy leadership. Murphy knew the kind of an anti-injunction plank th.it would be agreed upon. Thereupon in his "New York platform" Murphy's plank was far more radical than the one that Bryan de sired to haw adopted. Of course Murphy's plank was not accepted. But it will give him a chance to "point with pride" mxt year when the city convention is hold. Murphy's lyc on Xcsl Year. All of Murphy's energies are direct ed with a view u next year's cam - paign; what happens to Bryan and Kern Is entirely a minor considera tion. When the Ciaynor boom was sprung at Denver, as it is sprung annually at Democratic conventions, a Brooklyn delegate It'ouhl no would boost the game along. So he called on Murphy with what he regarded as an "un answerable argument." "Pat McCarren will cut the ticket." he said. "If we run Uaynor, McCarren will not dare to do it, and we will poll a solid vote' The Tammany leader looked curious ly at the enthusiastic Brooklynlle. Then ne sighed. "Yes. Gaynor is a very good man," he remarked, and changed the subject. But It will be noted that New York did not present Gaynor's name. For Murphy hopes that McCarren will cut th ticket. He believes It will destroy the last bit of influence the Brooklyn leader possesses and make him a figure of absolutely no Impor tance In the city campaign. Private View of Tammanyite. Here Is the private expression of a Tammany district leader. Just returned from Denver. - Publicly he says, of course, that Bryan will carry the Em pire State: "Those lunatics have destroyed any chance of success we might have had. Personally I think Taft will carry the state by 150.000. Some of the boys think it will be higher; others place it lower; but I believe my figures are fairly accurate. "It was a funny mlxup out there In Denver. Delegates who were pledged co Bryan begged us, with tears In their eyes, to vote against him. They wanted us to take up the work they were afraid or unwilling to do. "We'd have helped to beat Bryan if there had been a chance, but everything ran his way. It does not pay to be a martyr in politics, as Jim Guffey has found out. So we lined up with Bryan, and it was the very best play possible. "Nobody can criticise us for what we did. If mere was no anti-Bryan move ment why should we get under the steamroller? "We will do the best we can this Fall, but it Is bound to be a mighty poor campaign, for we enter It knowing we are beaten. Of course our state ticket will go down to defeat, too, but Tammany can survive It. Record "Talky" Convention. "One funny thing about that Denver convention Is that it was the most talkative bunch of men ever gathered together outside of an Insane asylum. And yet there are fewer letters In the names of the candidates than ever ap peared on a National ticket. Five let ters in Bryan and four in Kern, a total of nine, Is certainly a brevity record. "I believe Bryan has a good chance of success in the Middle West. Many of the leaders believe the nominations have cinched Ohio, Indiana and Ne braska and given the party better than an even chance in Wisconsin. "They count on a combination of state pride and offended Fairbanks dignity to land Indiana. Ohio men say their Republican neighbors are split into countless factions, but I heard what Tom Johnson and Garber said about each other, so I guess the trouble is not confined exclusively to one party. In Wisconsin the Bryanites count on a heavy vote from the La Follette Republicans, who certainly did get a mighty rough deal at Chicago. For my part, while I may have hopes of Ohio and Indiana, I would not do any betting on Wisconsin. "I believe the East will make it unanimous for Taft. and if I was run ning the Democratic campaign I would not waste one .cent east of the Ohio line. This certainly will be the ene mies' country, just as it has been since' Bryan's first nomination in 1896." "Fingy" Conners. by virtue of his office as chairman of the State Commit tee, will conduct the Bryan campaign in this state. Mr. Conners is not un duly elated at the honor. He still shud ders when he thinks of the last state campaign In 1906, when Hearst, the candidate for Governor, would not see him when he called, and the commit tees treasury was barren of cash, and even of postage stamps. Conners believes that it will be hard sledding again this , year, and that money will bo a curiosity at Demo cratic headquarters. The state chairman returned from Denver with Leader Murphy, and was given his orders en route. His first act was to issue a call to the various county chairmen, asking them to meet and ratify the ticket. Mr. Conners expects that Bryan will make a "whirlwind tour" of the state, and also expects Mr. Kern to perform. He failed to obtain any promises to that effect, however, while he was in the West. Bryan has had bitter experience In "whlrlwinding" New York. He first tried it in 1896. when he made three "whirlwind tours" of the Empire State Result: Plurality for McKinley, 267, 469. In 1900, there was only one whirl wind Bryan tour, and McKinlev's plur ality dropped to 143,606. Then when Bryan returned from his trip around the world, he "whirlwlnded" again, this time at Madison-Square Garden, when he espoused the cause of Government ownership. And he had to drop it quick, or the solid South would have dropped him. Here Is a problem suggested by a facetious Democrat: "If three whirlwind tours give the other fellow 267,000 majority, and one whirlwind tour sets you back 143,000 votes, why under Heaven should we have any whirlwind tours at all?" Perhaps this view of the case has appealed to Bryan, and perhaps it hasn't. Wall Street's View. Down in Wall street the brokers con tinue to believe that it is all over, and the Democratic nominations have had comparatively little effect on the stock market. Dick Brothers, of the New York Stock Exchange, are the only firm to get wildly excited. In a letter to customers, they say: "The reports from Denver were enough to set Wall street boiling again. The Bryan party, true to its emblem (the donkey), brayed. and all the thinking people of the Nation see to day the ass beneath the lion's ekin. We doubt that Bloomingdale ever ex ceeded the Denver spectacle. "Is It any wonder that Wall street that sees and thinks, realized at once that the seeing and thinking citizens who, after all. rule the Nation, would take at its worth the charivari at Denver, and In November nsrntn rr.,o to follow one whose rise was due to a sacrilegious presentation of the wild est, most dangerous fallacy ever pre- e.ieQ in nistory to agreat Nation?" The great majority of the flnoi,, ...... ,r. in. iiiipiy yawn at the Denver ticket, and express a belief that the campaign win tie as mild as a Sunday school picnic. They are not even bet. ting on the result, as nobody cares to ns.it any money on Bryan this year. WILD CHARGES ARE MADE German Says Cabrera Spent $10,000 to Klect Roosevelt. MEXICO CITY. July IS. In a. Ions- ar tide published -jikW the signature of Dr. Herman Prowe, a German formerly resid ing in Guatemala, the statement is made that President Cabrera contributed tlO.000 gold to the Roosevelt campaign fund in ine statement appeared in the col- nnins of the Deutsche Zeitung, a German Paper published In this capital. Dr. Prowe contends with all seriousness that this sum was paid to American Minister Hunter, then representing the United Slates at the Guatemala camtal. In two additional columns of matter of similar tenor, he claims that Cabrera is favoring American residents to the exclusion of Germans and members of other nations. He maintains that the past representa tives of the United States have -been per sistently misrepresenting conditions in Guatemala, which, he says, are more an palling than those which existed in Cuba during the Weyler regime or which have been recently reported In Hayti. the Congo and Macedonia. Dr. Prowe claims the result of Cabrera's rule or ruin policy will be a protectorate either jointly wielded by the United States and Mexico or by one of the nations singly. Dr. Prowe names a number of Americans as being implicated in graft In connection with the recent Honduras trouble. BOURNE TO OFFER UNSOUGHT ADvlu E Will Strive to Induce Taft Not to Dictate His Own Successor. SCORNS JESTS OF 'WAGS Arrives at Hot Springs With Large Supply of Clothes and Xurses Pet Idea with Tender Care. HOT SPRINGS. Va., July 18. (Spe cial.) Senator Jonathan Bourne spent the day here playing golf and wearing in jaunty fashion a fuzzy Norfolk jacket and the distinction of being the first po litician to come here to see Mr. Taft without having first been Invited. He arrived last night, bringing enough trunks of clothes to carry him on a dash around the world twice. After some persuasion the Senator ad mitted that he would probably impress on Mr. Taft the importance of promising the American people that he will not try to choose his successor in the White House. Mr. Bourne does not seem at all discouraged by the manner in which the people turned down his second elective term idea for Theodore Roosevelt. On the contrary, he is extremely optimistic and Is nursing his second great idea, the non-heir thought for Mr. Taft, with great care. His plan is to broach the subject to Mr. Taft on the golf links. He looked with scorn today at a wag who suggested the candidate would take the young idea to the neighboring forest and feed it to the bears in the hope that it would give them indigestion. The Senator says he will be here for at least week. He will probably see Mr. Taft Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. In the meantime he "will play golf. Speaking of his idea seriously, Mr. Bourne said this evening: No man can perpetuate himself under our form of government, but when you have a Southern representation and a National committee, you have an organi zation which enables you to come pretty close to doing just that. I think, there fore, this question of residuary legatee ship will play a considerable part in the coming campaign." IS F WESTERN FEDERATION VOTES TO ACCEPT OLIVE BRANCH. Organization Names Committee to DraTt Working Agreement With United Mine Workers. DENVER. July IS. The question of a closer working agreement with the united Mine Workers of America was brought officially before the conven tion of the Western Federation of Miners this- afternoon. The fnatter came up during the consideration of President Moyer's apnual report, in which he advocated such an agreement. Tiie discussion brought out the fact that many members felt a union with the United Miners' organization might force the Western Federation men to adopt the check-off and contract sys tem. The latter organization does not make contracts of any kind. The fight against affiliation of any sort was led by George Hutchinson, but he was badly defeated and the presi dent was instructed to appoint a com mittee of five to' devise ways and means whereby a working agreement can be obtained. At this juncture "Mother" Jones, who Is known from one end of the country to the other among miners, entered the hall. She was given a great ovation. and addressed the convention for over an hour, advocating a closer union among all members of organized labor. The morning session was consumed in the consideration of an appeal In a case of alleged graft on the part or Edward Kennedy, who was expelled from the Tonopah. Nev., union on a charge that he had attempted to blackmail Manager Daniel McDonald, of the Mlzpah mine at Tonopah. The matter came before the conven tion on a motion to sustain the execu tive council. The arguments at times were personal and heated, but by an overwhelming vote the council was sustained. . LABOR LEADERS WIX POINT Vpheld by Judge In Contempt-of- Court Case. DENVER. Colo.. July IS. Through a decision yesterday by District Judge Allen in the case of the Thompson Mar ble Company against President Gompers and the officers of the American Federa tion of Labor and BO officers and members of the Denver Building Trades Council, the trade unionists got first blood in the battle to secure J50.000 damages from the union men and to imprison some of them for alleged boycotting. Also the plans of George C. Manley, attorney for the marble company, to have Gompers and the officers of the American Federation of Labor declared in contempt of court for failure to appear before a notary public yesterday suffered complete defeat. Pa pers in the suit were served on Gompers, John Mitchell. John B. Lennon and James Duncan, of the American Federation of Labor, last week when they came to Denver to attend the meeting of the executive council and to appear before the resolutions committee of the Na tional Democratic convention. As soon as the summonses were served Manley subpenaed the labor leaders to appear before a notary public to make deposi tions. On advice of counsel they decided to ignore the subpenas and left the city. Judge Allen upheld the contention of the attorneys of the labor leaders that they were not compelled to make depositions In a civil case on the ground that their testimony might tend to incriminate them in prosecutions pending.

Charles Wie land, of this city, who cast aside the cloth to enter the ranks of the Social ists, is the head of the counterfeit gang and was arrested yesterday and placed in the territorial prison at Tombstone. His younger brother, Fred WIeland, aged 21. and his half-brother, Edward Nea man, both Los Angeles Socialists, are in the same prison. All were arrested by George W. Hazen, of the United States Secret Service, who discovered their den and confiscated their tools and mater ials! Hazen returned today with 44 $20 gold pieces which the trio had "doctored" and which almost defy detection, responding to the tests by acid and by scraping, and having the true ring. Hazen says they are the most skillful workmen he has ever known. They made thousands of dollars by their criminal operations and the coins tampered with have been passed all along the Coast. Fred Wieland. who studied in a T. M. C. A. school here, seems to have been the mechanical genius. He invented and made a machine for shaving the faces of the coins and removing the milled edges. In the edge and between the faces copper was inserted, soldered end pressed into correct shape in another machine of young Wieland's invention. So cleverly was this done that banks took the coins unhesitatingly. The gold removed was melted Into In gots, after being alloyed, and sent to the United States mint'.
