Willi 11EII WHITE BOB THE
DEMOCRATS
William Allen White, one of the ed
itors of the American Magazine, and
perhaps the most brilliant newspaper
writer of the United States today,
write of the epenlng. of the demo
cratic national convention at Denver,
in the following entertaining way:
This In a convention crowd wherein
the barbaric yawp which Walt Whit
man speaks of Is the keynote. In the
republican convention was the still
small voice of Roosevelt In the hearts
of a hypnotized delegation. In thU
convention the only trouble will be In
compressing the snort of the unterrl
fied Into polite lunguage. If It Is
charged that In Its platform the re
publican convention didn't mean all It
said, It may be pretty sure that this
convention will not say all It means.
The average conservative citizen to
whom squatting In a cold bath tub
of water Is a -startling adventure, will
take no comfort in the two. platforms
of the great parties this year.
For the democratic platform will be
dictated by Bryan, he Is the conven
tion, "the bn'sum tight, the midship's
mite, and the crew of the Nancy Brig "
And as between the platform which
satlnfles Mr. Roosevelt and the plat
form which pleases Mr. Bryan, the
only question which occurs to the
conservative citizen Is shall law-defying
wealth be turned down or blown
up. That Is the choice between the
parties. To him the republican con
vention was an assemblage of fire
brands and this Is a gathering of dy
namiters. Still It was calm here today until
Oklahoma lit. The Oklahomans came
with a band and a procession, and
when they arrived -t their hotel they
had speeo : pow-wowlng and
for a few uiuiia-iiis there was a sound
of revelry hy night which made Jim
Him Lewis with his pale pink whis
kers and his sky blue hat band, who
was the most audible thing In the
town, sink Into silence sweeter than a
summer night.
Loud Roar of Necktie.
But when Oklahoma disintegrated
the loud roar of Mr. Lewis' haber
dashery rose above the din and not
even the white flannels of the south
ern delegates, the broad hats of the
Texans nor the Irrldescent breath of
Tammany could quell Mr. Lewis. If
the republican convention had Its
steam roller, Mr. Jim Ham Lewis Is
the sartorial fog horn of this momen
tous occasion. And he Is no "lone
peak of Darlen" either. There are
others. This gathering of the great
plain peepul Is certainly a clothes
congress.
There are more high hats, Silurian
and post-tertlery formation, at this
uprising of the oppressed than ever
assembled west of the Mississippi be
fore. If this thing Is going to continue
when the bastlle falls In this country
and the guillotine takes up Its work,
the mob that greets plutocraehy will
look those panoramas of fashion be
ginning with the Goths and ending on
Fifth avenue that used to adorn the
tailor shops of the countries In the
eighties.
IiillUH(liy of Clothe.
But declaration of Independence In
clothes merely expresses the unfet
tered uncombed and unterrlfled soul.
Bryan dominates, but he does not con
trol. He has no lieutenants. There Is
no card index In the situation. There
U no boss, no sub-boss to system here.
There Is not the semblance of a ma
chine. The congressional crowd Is
glad to be alive with ' a license to
breathe regularly. It does not arro
gate to Itself any authority as It does
conventions wherein there is a con
gressional majority. In the days when
there was a democratic congress, there
was a democratic machine, but now In
this "convention the man who would
try to organize anything through the
congressional machine would be spit
ting Into a tidal wave.
So three things are settled. Bryan
will be the candidate, Bryan's Idea of
what will beat Taft will be the plat
form, and Bryan will be the vice-pres
ident. The vice-presidential nomtna
Hon will be a mistake as it always Is.
But It will probably bo Bryan's mis
take, which Is more than Sherman to
Tuft.
Bryan's Flint Choice.
Bryan's first choice is said to be
O'Nell of Connecticut, a wealthy man
ufacturer, whom no one ever heard of,
but who has been loyal to Bryan
through his entire career. But Bryan
would be glad to get dray and would
take Towne or would not object to
any of half a dozen gentlemen who are
gasping for a fleeting breath of fame
and blowing the waters of obscurity
out of their faces. But It Is well
known here that Bryan has drawn Just
one 'line. He will have none of Mr.
Johnson of Minnesota.
He believes, so gossips say around
the hotel corridors, that Johnson tied
up with the antl-Bryun crowd not to
get the nomination for Johnson, but
to beat Bryan. He thinks Johnson
put sand In the bearings of Bryan's
machine, not so much to overtake It
as to wreck it; so among the Bryan
people there Is the mist and the blind
ing rain for Mr. Johnson. Wherefore,
Mr. Johnson 'announces that ho will
not accept second place, which no nmn
ever declined. This Is all the politics
there Is In this convention today.
NO (illlllNlKM'Iflg.
But there Is no gumshoeing; there Is
no whispering and mighty few con
ferences. No one knows anything.
There Is no place where the sanctu
ary Is kept. The platform which was
printed at Chicago the Sunday be
fore the convention has not arrived.
No one has It in his pocket. It Is still
rather nebulous. And as the clans
gather the delegate who has been
here 20 minutes has taken two drinks
und some kind and healing libation
knows Just as much of the situation
as tho oldest Inhabitant who camo
hero :.i!H Tuesday.

PANAMA FACTION RE-
S EN TS I N T El t KE1 1 E N CE
A th ' !' i identlal campaign In
Panun.:. d:aus to a "close, charges
and counter charges of graft and cor
ruption are being made by the lead
ers of the' two factions and the ex
citement among the people Is reaching
a high pitch. iThe election will be
held Sunday. The present appear-
i ances point to the success of Oencral
J. D. de Obaldla, whose party waa
successful in the recent municipal
elections. . Obaldla Is tho opposition
candidate to the government party,
which is supporting Dr. Rlcardo Ari
as, President Amudor'a minister of
foreign affairs, for president. Obal
dla declares that wholesale graft has
marked Amador's administration and
that it Is the purpose of the Arias to
perpetuute such a regime. Hundreds
of American marines are patrollng the
canal lone, to protect the property of
the United States govtrnment. but
no serious trouble is anticipated. It
is alleged by Obaldla that the gov
ernment party, frightened by the re
sult of the municipal elections, is
making preparations for wholesale
ballot box stuffing.
The organs of the Arias party are
very bitter against the I'nlted States
government for Its intervention In
Panama's political contest, and the
Star and Herald, in an editorial said
to be inspired by President Amador,
caustically remarks, with a covert
threat:
"On election day. God forbid there
may pass In Punama something
which, like the explosion of the
Maine, may servo ns a cause so that
all of us remain enmeshed In the com
mon conflagration, for ls t not true
that the Americans arc today In the
world the heralds of purity of suf
frage, and that solely through love of
this purity do they come to break
lances In a foreign land, whilst In their
own country the recollection that bal
lot boxes full of ballots were thrown
Into the muddy waters of the Missis
sippi still remain fresh?
"We desire pure elections. We
want a president to be he who has
obtained the greatest number of
votes at the poll?, but we do not ac
cept the present Intervention, because
we consider It unconstitutional, In
convenient and dangerous."
The Obaldla party, on the other
hand, welcomes the supervision of
the election by the United States au
thorities. The Press, a supporter of
General Obaldla, declares that the
discontent of the Arias supporters Is
due to the fear that the Intervention
of the "big stick" will prevent the
crrylng out of their plans for stealing
the election.
Fear Is expressed In some quarters
that present peaceful appearances are
deceptive and that the malcontents
will yet succeed In arousing the peo
ple to a widespread revolt that will
give Uncle Sam's marines plenty to do
In coping with the situation,
