M'COMBS WIRES
AN INVITATION TO
PROGRESSIVES
(Continued From Page One)
contain much to appeal tOj Progres-
Will Wot Comment.
He refused to comment on reports
that some of the conservative Demo
cratlc leaders had attempted to check
the efforts to win over the Progres
sives.
A national child labor law and rec
ognition of the woman suffrage move
ment may be two of the leading planks
in the Democratic platform.
The child labor plank Is to be the
principal feature,. of the "social wel
fare" clauses. Those urging this
plank desire it to show Progressives
that the Democratic party is willlnx
to abandon its historic states rights
stand on this subject. A canvass of
strength. Progressive Democrats claim.
has shown that southern Democrats
here have not sufficient strength to
block this plank.
Flan Is Popular.
Kffort to enter -Into harmonious re
lations with the Progressive party
meets general approval of Democratic
leaders and the lnitators of the
plan are at work lining up support.
Many big Democrats as fast as they
reached the city were enlisted in the
mcvement. Secretary of Agriculture
Houston was one of these. The party
has been working out many of the
Ideas advanced by the Progressives
four years ago, he said, and there is
room for the Progressives in the
party.
Homer S. Cummings. the national
committee's choice tor national chair,
man. Joined Chairman McCombs in ad
vocacy of immediate, definite action
and the extending of an invitation to
the Progressives to offer suggestions
before the platform is completed.
Definite Action Vrf ed,
XJrey Woodson, Kentucky national
committeeman. Joined the forces urg
ing definite action.
"Why not?" said Woodson. "It's a
long call from the Republican plat
form, adopted at Chicago, to what the
Progressives stand for. We come
nearer giving them what they want.
Most Bull Moosers would be gooi
Democrats merely by changing their
name.
"We ought to get the rank and file J
of the Progressive party," said Cato
Sells, Texas committeeman.
W. W. Marshall, Iowa national com
mitteeman, said he wanted to see plans
worked out for taking over the Pro
gressives. Opposition to the plan has rrown
out of the fear that it would bring a
big radical element into the party that
would be hard to handle, so the would
be kidnapers charged today. They say
the fear Is unfounded.
Definite Under standing' Urged.
"If the Democratic party organira
tion ls-to be more important than the
party membership," said one of the
leaders, "then we haven't anything to
offer the Progressives, that's true.
That is why they left the Republican
party and that is why their new party
has been wrecked. If we're going to
invite them In, let's not do it under
fruse pretenses. Let's bring them in
on a real understanding of wnat we
propose to do. The first step In that
direction would be to have aa many of
them as possible here while we work
out our own platform and program."
Opposition to the combination pro
gram was voiced today by Senator
Hardwlck of Georgia, one of the con
eervative group in the senate.
"If we win we'll win as Democrats
cn historic Democratic Issues," said
Hardwlck. "The so-called Progress
ives, I believe, will g?t checked uo
short if they attempt to override
states rights on child labor and simi
lar measures."
TENTATIVE DRAFT OF
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
IS 0. K.'D BY WILSON
St. Louis. June 13. (U. P.) Secre
tary of War Baker will arrive in St.
Louis tonight with the draft of the
Democratic platform approved by Pres
ident .Wilson himself. Jn fact the chief
executive Is credited personally with
writing a number of planks. He has
talked the whole document over with
Senator Stone of Missouri The latter
has the principal direction of putting
together of the words and pledges on
which Democracy -will make the race
this year.
The great bulk of the delegates were
arriving today. Lobbies of the Jeffer
son and Planters' hotels show more or
the convention spirit but up to this
moraing exactly one band has blared its
way down town. The delegates put in ,
their time alternately aoagmg ana
ing to woman suffrage workers; sev
eral score of movie operators are on
the lob from dawn to dark and several
hundred newspaper men are In town.

ervtiiiiig.
William Jennings Bryan arrivea to
day.
Twenty years ago the silver tongued
orator came to the 1896 Democratic
convention as a reporter, thrilled De
mocracy with eloquence and departed
au its presidential candidate.
In the 191 convention Mr. Bryan will
be a reporter Just as he was 20 years
a an alTernae. Mr. Bryan .will prob-'
ably add
ddress the convention, but he Is
ret expected to take a prominent part
in the proceedings of the convention.
The convention will adjourn early
on Wednesday, probably immediately
after the keynote speech of ex-Gov
ernor Glynn, out of respect to the
memory of the late Thomas J. Pence,
secretary of the Democratic national
committee. One other thing which led
to the decision to cut short the session
was the discovery that if the usual
program were adhered to, three out of
four of the big speeches of the con
vention would come on the same day.
Victory for Roosevelt.
St. Paul, Minn., June 13. (I. N. S.)
Minnesota Progressives are likely
to support Hughes. C. W. Halbert,
state chairman, said today:
"It is to be borne in mind that the
.1otlnn rf Mr Ttuchpa bv thn Tfcft-
publlcans is not a victory for the re- (
actionarles, but really a victory for f
Mr. Roosevelt, who put them in a 1

Des Moines, Iowa, June 13. (I. N.

E. Hughes for president by the Re-
publican party, the Ioa Progressive i
party is disbanded. This was the I

Two Men Dynamite
Power Wire Towers
San Francisco, June 13. (P. N. S.)
Two men are being sought by de-
tectives today as the dynamiters who
blew up three big steel towers of the
Sierra & San Francisco Power com
pany, carrying power from the moun
tains for the use of the united Kail
roads. The towers, located on the top of
San Bruno mountain in . San Mateo
county, were wrecked early Sunday.
Three distinct explosions were felt by
residents for miles around, the first
at 3:34 a. m. and the last at 4:10 a. n.
Mystery surrounds the dynamiting, j
The two men sought by the police were
seen walking near the towers carrying
a large, heavy valise. This is sup
posed to have contained the explosive
used in wrecking the towers.
Local police and United Railroad
detectives are cooperating in an effort
to find the men and unravel the mys
tery surrounding the affair.
The damage now is being repaired
rapidly. Immediately after the explo
sion, the steam auxiliary plant of the
-United Railroads was put into use and
the car service was not interrupted.
Fulton Park's Tots

A young friend of The Journal who
has the instinct of a news reporter,
sends in the following account of the
Fulton Park rose show:
The small girls of the Fulton Park
school had a little floral parade all
of their own last Saturday and had
their doll buggies as well as them
selves decorated and marched around
the block and school house with a
little band in the line.
Genevieve Dorner. aged 6, was the
queen, and her little sisters, 5 and 4
years old, were the attendants. Then
they Had a fine little picnic dinner to

CONCLUSIONS ARE QUOTED
Telegraun 7rom TTOtea to Senator

Appended to the final report of the
senate judiciary committee cn tne
tion of Louis D Brandets as a
" " .1 "VL "T'.- .L
pudiic wnen tne vote was taken on
confirmation, are a number of lettera
and telegrams received by members
of the senate. Among these is one ad
dressed to Senator Chamberlain, signed
Dy wiuiam a. u Ken, reading as fol
lows:
"Urge the confirmation of B rand e is
because he is able, Just and progres
sive. One of the best appointments
president could have made. No one
opposing here but reactionaries, spe
cial-privilege beneficiaries and big
business representatives. Onnonnts
here include all who were applauding
in advance , nomination of Taf t (as
supreme court Justice) as the-graceful
wing to ao.
Storey Is Kit Hard.
In this report reference is also made
to tne. severe criticism which eminent
American Jurists and public men have
received in other years, when partisan-
ship has been rampant.
One of the
naraest-hlttlng observations of the re-
port is that dealing with Moorfleld
Storey of Boston, who led the on
siaugnt or the whole Boston crowd
that Idught Brandels. The report says
Take such au eminent man as Elihu
Root, now the president of the Ameri
muu ui a. yuuuiea lawyer wno
would adorn the supreme bench. Yet
it is the Irony of the present situation
that in a report published in 1902. en
titled, 'Root's Record In the Philippine
Warfare," Moorfleld Storey, who has
been most prominent in fighting the
nomination of Mr. Brandels, Joined in
Bunlmi ng up conclusions anTong othVs,
aa fr.i,nw-
as follows
CrlttdaTm of Boot.
' 'That the statements of Mr. Root,
whether as to the origin of the war. its
progress or the methods by wihich it
bas been prosecuted have been untrue.
" 'That he has shown a desire not to
luvcHLiBaie, a-iiu, on ma omer nana; to
conceal the truth touching the war, and
to shield the guilty, and by censorship
and otherwise has largely succeeded.' '
"Mr. Root's preeminent position aa
a citizen," proceeds the committee re
port. "Is a guaranty that nothing
which we quote now from Mr. Storey
in 1902 can possibly do any Injury,
but if he had had less prominence and
power, and disappointed railroads and
other special Interests had so desired.

CAMPAIGN TO STAVE
OFF PROPOSED ARMOR
PLANT BILL IS MADE
Washington, June 13. Tha govern
ment armor plate provision In the
naval appropriation bill divided the
Oregon delegation in the house. Mc
Arthur and Hawiey voted against it.
Slnnott for it.
Slnnott thinks it may never be nec
essary for the government actually to
manufacture armor for its battleships.
but he believes It a good thing to have
in reserve, so the armor plate inter
ests will not be able to do as they
Dlease.
i The bill appropriates Jil.ooo.ooo ror
establishing a government plant. Ever
Since Senator Tillman, ' early in the
present session, began to urge this
appropriation, and sentiment appeared
strong for it, the armor, makers have
conducted a systematic campaign. For
days at a time congressmen and news
paper correspondents have received
in their mail neatly prepared and well
written arguments from the Bethlc
ham Steel company protesting against
a government plant.
The pleas became almost tearful in
declaring that a plant owned by the
government would close up ' and
destroy expensive Investments, as this
government is almost the sole cus
tomer for armor plate.' At the same
time they have declared that' $11,000.
000 is inadequate for a plant to
supply more" than one-third or one
half the government needs.
Few members of congress believe
that the armor making plants will be
dismantled. An enlarged naval pro
gram means a demand for more armor,
and these plants, prior to the Euro
pean war, were developing some for
eign business, also.

"The traveler who makes only a
