Mistake to Tie Up Delegates

Democratic National Com
mitteeman From Oregon. '
' (Washington Bureau nf The Journal.)
Washington, July 13. Judge Will R.
King, who is In Chicago to attend the
meeting of the Democratic national
committee as the member trom
Oregon, whfch meeting will take place
Monday, spent several days here after
the convention and discussed with the
correspondent of The Journal the events
of th ereat gathering at which the next
,..iHini nf tha United States was
ACTOR IN "THE THIEF"
is well known here
nornTr7BTeoana"6nTafled on sume con-
cluslons he drew rrom mem.
The outcome was especially gratify
Ins to all good Democrats, thought Judge
King, and he predicted a great victory
n uj.nh fiM wilunn and Marshall.
With the Republican party split wide
open, he couid see noming uui nu..
cess for the Democracy, which is again
happily united and confident of suc
cess. - --
Important Conclusions.
Two Important conclusions were
reachod by the national committeeman
for Oregon. One that it may be a
mistake to tie up delegates with in
structions, and the other Is that the
sldentlal pref
erential primaries will not, end should
not, ao away wun nuuuimi
. tions. r
It was not uncommon at Baltimore
to hear the remark:
won t renWnn this is the last na
tional political convention that we shall
6VfT SCO-"
Commenting on this attitude Judge
King said: "It's popular to say to the
ronia- -wo don't nint any more con-
vAnHnnn' Rut wo know better, and
consequently it is the duty of the me.n
who know to correct the popular error.
Th. man hi )ivp Kftt as delegates In
conventions are in a position to tell the
rest of the people wnai gooa ineio m
thot mothnrt nf ERlcrtlne candidates, and
thev ought to do so even if at the time
tneir counsel may seem uuinivuw,
Demand for Primary.
Tt.,. la a ArdrA nrobabllltv that
there will be a universal demand for
the selection of the president ana vice
president by means of the preferential
nrimarv Th nrefarentlal primary will
prove a great aid In the selection of
presidents, but It will be a great mis
take to carry out the Indicated will of
the people without tlie medium or a
nnvmniinn whpr the delegates can
meet, consult and net on rtfh'dtftons .is
they may develop up to the time of
hnidinir surh convention. There should
not be any going to extremes In the!
Instruction given to delegates. Experi
ence shows that this may have embar
rassing results, and things may happen
which would have resulted In different
Instructions hml they been known in
time. The primaries can be counted on
to give us the plurality while the con
vention Vvill give us the benefit of
the majority or two-thirds vote, as the
case may be, the Republicans working
under the majority rule and the Demo
crats under the two-thlnls rule.
Personally, I think that the results
at both the RepuWiran and Democratic
conventions demonstrated that the selec
tion by a two-thirds vote proved in the
end to he the safer plan. At Chicago,
under surh a plan, they wVuild not have
had either Taft or Roosevelt, while in
Baltimore with a majority rule, Tam
many would have been able to nomin
ate Its man.
Opposed to Unit Sale,
"1 em opposed to the unit rule. In
my opinion It is a mistake. The con
vention released delegations from the
obligation to the unit rule in all cas;s
where their states had presidential
preferential primaries. The Kansas
delegation had to vote for Clark until
two thirds of the delegation were will
ing to vote In caucus to do otherwise.
For -0 ballots a majority of the Kansas
delegates wanted to vote for Wilson, and
yet the entire vote for Kansas went to
'lark. In fact, Wilson would have
been nominated anywhere between the
first and tenth ballots had It not been
for Instructions given to delegate.
Take Rhode Island, for Instance. Its
delegation was satisfied all the time
that Wilson was the stronger candi
dates but under their Instructions they
couldn't se how they could break away
from Clark until he should be willing
ft release them. If instructions to
delegates are to be carried to th3 limit,
there will be danger of no nomination
at all lelng made.''
"What, then. Is the remedy?" the
Judee was asked.
"My Idea," rvplled the Judge, "would
be to let the people In their primaries
expreMS their preference for president,
but not to tie up the delegates; to leave
the latter free to art under the advls
of the. voters as expressed at the pri
maries. As was shown at the late con
vention, the delegation should be left
free to vjte under those conditions.
Attempt to Criticise Bryan.
"There has been some attempt to
criticize Mr. Bryan not to any extent,
I am glad to say, by Democrats, or
Democratic organs. As for me, I fully
Indorse Bryan's course from beginning
to end. I think he was right. Had It
next hrpn fnf him u-A Mhnulri hflVA hn
In the same predicament as the Republi
can party i hi me present nine; iu.,
by taking the stand he did he endan
gered his own chances and temporarily
fcacrlflred his claim to the nomination.
I say 'temporarily,' for four years from
now he will be stronger than ever, If
Via wants to rim."
Reference being made to the manner
In which the Oregon delegations voted
Judtre King replied:
"1'nder the ruling of the chair,
In states where th delegations were
lor ted at large, ts In Oregon, and
preference for the presidential nominee
was expressed at the polls, the state
delegations had to vote In each case as
a unit when this was demanded by any
one In the delegation. The Oregon dele
gation did not believe In the unit rula
and on that nccount we did not Insist
Hint the vote be cast as a unit, even
though at one time two of our delegates
wei " voting ior i.iarx.
"The party has needed a man to lead
It who would bo really a leader. Wil
son, now, Is a man who leads. I think
be ts the only man that has been men
tioned who ran carry the Pacific coast.
I think ho will carry California If
Theodore Hell and the rast of them do
their duty." I felt thatSenator Cham
berlain, If nominated for vice president,
would have strengthened the ticket, and
he got a large votj In view of the fact
that he was not a candidate and that
everything that was done for him had
been done by his friends without his
nnent and in fact, In opposition to his
wishes.
"We shall have7 a conference In Chlci
fo and I think the party will make a
vigorous campaign and. that we shall
win."

Twelfth and Morris streets.
Anezing lhanhey are thsrortzlnatora
of the title of the dance, which their
company is exhibiting at the Keystone
theatre, Eleventh street ana benign ave
nue, and that the title has been appro
priated by a company producing the
dances at the Alhambra, under the man
agement of Philip A. Frease, -' Newman
& Qoldsmitlv applied to court to enjoin
the latter company from continuing the
performance.
Testimony disclosed -that the danoe Sn I
question is of a suggestive ana vulgar
charactor. It" was admitted that .the
dance was originally to be seen only In
the music halls of the "Barbary coast,
the name by which the tenderloin dis
trtct of San Francisco is known, and
that even then It was given only by per
mit from the poltee.
The danee was originated, It was tea?
t if led, in dance halls patronized by cow
boys tn Texas towns. After a night of
debauchery,-" it was explained, the cow
boys' attempts to dance were often lu
dicrous, and In order to continue the
entertainment., girls hired by the dance
halls and known as "Tommies' wouia
act as partners. They were obliged to
Indulge in all sorts or contortions ana
twists of their bodies to give some sem
blanee of a dance to the exhibition.
After listening to the testimony Judge
Ferguson said it was .a question In his
mind whether both parties to the suit
should not be enjoined from producing
the dance. Counsel explained that the
exhibition had been greatly modified and
is different from the original. The Judge
reserved decision. ' .

Stockholm, Sweden, July 13. The ath
letes of the American Olympic team are
enthusiastic over the sights they are
seeing in Sweden. - Apart from the Ht
tractions of the Olympic games, Sweden
Is a perfect vacation ground. It may be
roughly divided Into three sections th
forest region to the north, with its glor
ious pine woods and noble rivers: the
mountain region to the northwest, em
bracing Lapland with its midnight sun;
and the southern region of lakes and
fields and smiling landscapes.
The last named district in character
ized by fertile plains cultivated from
almost prehistoric times but still em
bracing wide expanses 'unimpaired by
anyt desecrating hand." Within its bord
ers' He niany of the principal towns
glorious Stockhold Itself; the famous
seaport of Gothenburg; Malmo. next in
importance; Linkoplng, with Its grand
cathedral; and others claiming attention.
Traveling Is Comfortable.
The traveling throughout the country
is very comfortable, the sightseeing eas
ily accomplished, the people most cour
teous, and the accommodation good and
reasonable at ordinary times, although,
of course, some increase may naturally
be expected when the games are in full
swing. English Is spoken nearly every
where. During tha months of June, July and
August there is scarcely any night, and
the grand light effects are a constant
eouree of delight and admiration, while
from the middle of September to the
end of October, there Is perfect Indian
summer.
USED STOLEN KEYS
TO ROB MAN'S STORE
Sunbury, Pa.. July 13. Forcing an
entrance Into the residence of Ohrlsto
pliepher Klimeres, a cigar merchant, a
thief rifled the sleeping man's trousers.
Ho took a gold watch, two diamond
rings, a roll of bills and a bunch of
keys. To the key ring wan attached n
tag bearing Klimeres' business address
on Market street. With the stolen keys
the thief went to the store, unlocked the
door and robbed (he cash register of $11.
(United Pres LetMd Wirt.)
Pais, July 13. If you are a man of
fashion you must wear a stiff collar
in bed. Also you must crease your
pajamas before retiring. Likewise a
monocle is "au fait" when you prepare
to retire.
"The advent of the pajama," write a
Paris expert on men's fashions, "has
brought about an upheaval. Thanks to
this new night attire, covered beds are
no longer necessary and the ridiculous
garment, the nightshirt, is gone for
ever. "Silk pajamas are the correct thing,
silk or xephyr, with stiff collar. The
trousers of the pajamas should not be
too wide and should be creased. Lpon
rising, warmer, flannel pajamas should
be donned, with a turn down collar. In
these one should take breakfast. A man
of fashion should never allow his valet
to see him in the wrinkled pajamas in
which he sleeps.
"Many dandies possess a whole ward
robe of pajamas in beautiful, light tints.
The pocket of each Rult should carry a
handkerchief to match.
"The young man should wear a mono,
cle. He should not be deterred from
wearing it because it injures his sight.
A simple concave glass is the thing.
