With the neccs- lty confronting them of lining up 7L'9 elegates to nominate, the managers of the various presidential booms showed an activity In Juggling figures that would have done credit to the cashier of a 10 cent circus. Each of the lead ing candidates waa shown by figure issued from his respective headquarters to be In the -load. But the figures, when analyzed, all showed beyond the question of a doubt that there was no chance of any candidate securing the two-thirds vote needed to nominate un less there was a stampede. And the danger of a stampede was believed to day to be remote. The Champ Clark managers Insisted that their man would poll 612 votes on the first ballot. They are divided as follows: Instructed, 423; pledged, They said that Wilson had only 122 in structed and 58 pledged. The Clark managers Insisted persist enny inai iney would put tnelr man over on the second ballot. But the politicians who are supposed to have a good line on the situation, were quiet ly Insisting that Clark would show his total strength on the first ballot and tpat. If he had not enough to nominate he would have shot his bolt and there after would dwindle on each succes sive ballot. The Wilson managers assert that they will surely have 222 instructed dele gates on the first ballot and that there are 137 who are pledged and will fall Into line. They also declare they will receive strong accessions from the un lnstructed delegations. There Is little doubt that the Wilson men are forcing consideration of their claims by .insisting that, If their man la turned down, they will line up behind William Jennings Bryan and force him over. This was best stfown bv the at titude of a number of Pennsylvania delegates who openly told New York ueiegaies: xjiner neip us put over Wilson or we will Jam Bryan down your throats. The Wilson men have an enthusiastic supporter for their cause In Senator James A. o oorman, of New York.

Frank A. Morrison, secretary of the federation, was sentenced to six months in Jail for the same offense, Both gave notice of appeal and were re leased on 15.000 bail. John Mitchell, also found guilty of contempt in the proceedings growing out of the publication in the American Federationlst of the name of the Buck Stove and Range company, of St. Louis, In an "unfair list," was not present in court, and ills sentence was deferred. Penalties in Proportion. 'Because these respondents have shown themselves ready to repeat-tne seditions of the past, the penalties In these cases ought to be In proportion lo the gravity of the offenses," de clared Justice Wright in his decision. Wright declared that Eugene V. Debs, "sentence of alx months for contempt of court was not sufficient," and "the offense of the least of these men (Mor rison) was more malicious than that of Debs."

They will tako up with President Taft the reso lution adopted late Saturday night com pelling every member to support the nominee.
