The Roosevelt people are encourag

It is e.pecled that, tho faction of
the progressives, who do not sub

intend to remain "rogulnr" will op
xise the plank in the full committee
and even on the lloor of the conven

ent desire to put an iiueiiii'ocal

Hasing upporlioiunciil of tho dele

Another radical change in the rules
suggested by tho minority is a dele

each state authority to elect ils com

The most drastic change in the

William Jennings Bryan threw his

when ho declared open war on the
selection of the democratic nominee
for temporary chairman Alton B.
Parker and announced his Intention
of leading a fight to prevent tho rat

national committee's choice.
Bryan's defl which took the
form of a telegram to all the presi
dential candidates whom he regards
as progressives, was followed by the
announcement that he would leave
Chicago for Baltlmoro tomorrow
morning. The telegram is regarded
as an adroit move by Bryan to put
ach of the men addressed on record
as to his progrcsslveness. Neither
Underwood, Governor Harmon nor
Governor Marshall of Indiana was
addressed by Bryan.
Clark's Dickering
BALTIMORE, Md.( Juno 21.
Chief interest of democrats hero to
day centered In the fight that is Im
minent between William J. Bryan
and the conservative leaders over the
selection of Judge Alton B. Parker
as temporary chairman of the con
vention. Bryan Is said to be depending for
support on the followers of Champ
Clark and Woodrow Wilson. The
Harmon and Underwood delegates
are entirely satisfied.
Rumors wero flying fast that flio
Clark people were dickering with the
conservatives, especially Murphy of
New York and Tnggart of Indiana
1 and that the deal Involves throwing
I the Clark strength to Parker, In re-
uirn lor wuicn ino voies 01 me wow
York and Indiana delegates, besides
some unlnstructed delegates, would
bo given to Clark on tho first.
Itryuii to Take Floor
Bryan men prefer to disregard
these rumors and point out that if
Clark ateutptcd such a deal ho would
lose moro than ho would gain, be
cause ho would loao Bryan's friend
ship and good will. Tho Bryan
mon will carry tho fight against
Parker to the full national commit
too next Monday. The fight will then
bo taken to the floor of the conven
tion. Bryan himself Is expected to
mako a speech against Parker.
Campaign aitanagora for Clark,
Wilson, Harmon, Underwood, Gay
nor and Marshall are alroady making
clalniB. So far no lll-feollng has
cropped out. No manager oxpecta
his man to bo named on tho first
fow ballots. Clark managers, who
mnko the blgest claims, say ho will
have nt least 425 votes on tho Ini
tial ballot, but that Is 300 less than
tho two-thirds necossary to nominate.
Anyono Hut llryan
Among the conorvntlvo lcndors it
Is no secret that tho mattor of pick
ing Judge Pnrkor for tompornry
chairman Is to bo used to bring to a
direct issue Brynn'B Influence In tho
convention.
Tho conservatives Almost to a
man profess to bollovo that Bryan
himself wants tho democratic nomi
nation. Thoy prefer any candidate
eo tar mentlonod to hint, and thoy
?ay that If thoy can make Parker tho
temporary chairman In tho faco of
