Alton B. l'nrkcr, mimed ns temporary
clmirmnii of the democratic national
convention, hv a sub-committee of
tlic national committee, will refuse to
tdep aside in order tt placate Hrynu.
A statement to this effect came today
from Norman K. Mack, chainnau of
tho national committee, through one
of his secretaries.
"Mr. Mack says that Jud-re Parker
is in the fiejit to stay and will not
withdraw," said (he secretary.
UALTIMOUK, Md., June 22.
Fear Hint William J. Bryan will bolt
tho democratic national convention If
the progressive cause he represents
la defeated by the conservatives per
vaded the conservative camp today.
There were many who scoffed at
tho fear, and declared the fight be
tween Bryan and the conservatives,
brought by the selection of Judge
Parker for temporary chairman of
the convention had not reached a
point that would Justify tho Nebras
kan In pulling out. Others however,
took stock In tho reports and wore
prepared to go to almost any length
to prevent an open rupture.
Candidates Crawfish
Until Bryan himself arrives In
Baltimore Sunday and takes personal
charge of tho progressive forces, the
latter will be more or less disorgan
ized. Tho conservatives have been
well captained and have had a dis
tinct advantage because of that fact.
There appeared today to be disap
pointment among Bryan's followers
over Bryan's apparent failure to force
tho so-called progressive candidates
for tho presidential nomination to
take an out and out stand with him
against the selection of Parker as
temporary chairman. Tho replies
of Champ Clark and Governor Foss
are considered evasive and Governor
Marshall of Indiana told Bryan that
he thought Parker should bo pre
mltted to serve. Governor Wilson's
friends said that tho governor would
reply to Bryan Sunday and that ho
would take the position that the
temporary chairmanship was not a
matter that would cause serious dif
ferences and that he proposed to keep
out of tho squabble.
Most of tho national committee
members are hero and Monday It Is
expected the committee will ratify
tho action of tho sub-committee In
selecting Parker. This will force
Bryan to carry the fight to tho floor
of the convention on Tuesday. Bryan
had been counting on tho support of
both the Clark and WllBon forces. It
appears to be problematical now Just
how many Wilson and Clark dele
gates will follow him. Tho candi
dates themselves want to keep out
lest they make enemies that will cost
them votes when tho balloting for
president begins.
Tuiniimiiy For llarmon
In tho camp of Governor Harmon
today the claim was being made that
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many, had decided to throw New
York'B 90 votes to Harmon after tho
first or second ballot. Murphy him
self would not confirm this. Ho said
a caucus of the New York delegation
would bo held before anything defi
nite was decided upon.
It !b becoming moro and moro ap
parent, however, that Harmon is first
choice with tho conservatives, whoso
real leader Is Murphy and that Har
mon will likely bo tho beneficiary of
tho ontlro conservative strength of
tho convention as long as thero ap
pears to bo a chanco to nominate him.
If tho conservatives cannot nomi
nate Harmon or Underwood, who is
considered tholr second choice, Champ
Clark may got their votes. Clark
bus been endorsed as a progressive
by Bryan, but at tho same time the
conservatives uro not as pronounced
In tholr opposition to him as they
nio toward Governor Wilson.
J'Vac Bryan's Candidacy
Talk that Bryan himself may bo
cmo a caudldato for the presidential
nomination continues to grow. It is
generally conceded thai if Bryan is
able to prevent the election of Parker
as tomporary chairman and to do
that without tho active co-oporatlon
of any of the progressive candidates
for tho presidency, ho would ho In a
powerful position to got tho nomina
tion for himself, It Is bolng said
that tho rank and file of delegates wh0
might follow him on pno fight would
likely follow Jilm iu tho other, r
The pronounced feature of modern
indstrlnl life Is Its enormous diver
sification. To apply tariff data
Justly to these changing conditions
requires closer study and more scien
tific methods than ever before. The
republican party has shown by Its
creation of a tariff board its recogni
tion of this situation and Its deter
initiation to be equal to It. We coa
demn tho democratic party for Its
failure cither to provide funds for
tho continuance of this board or to
make some other provision for secur
ing the information requisite for In
telligent tariff legislation. Wo pro
test aglanst tho democratic methods
of legislating on these vitally Im
portant subjects without considera
tion. Wo condemn tho democratic
tariff bills passed by the house of
representatives of the 62nd. con
ress as sectional, as injurious to the
public credit and as destructive of
business enterprise.
Cast of LIvIiik
Tho steadily Increasing cost of 11 v.
ong has become a matter, not only
of national but of world-wide con
cern. The fact that it is not due to
tho protective tariff system is evi
denced by tho existence of similar
conditions in countries which have
a tariff policy different from our own,
ns well as the fact that the qost of
living has Increased while the rates
of duty have remained stationary or
havo been reduced.
Tho republican party will support
a prompt, scientific inquiry Into the
causes which are operative, both In
the United States and elsewhere to
Include the cost of living. When the
exact facts arc known, it will know
tho necessary steps to remove any
abuses.
MonoKly and Privilege
The republican party i op'toscd to
special privilege and to monopoly,
it placed upon the statute hooks the
interstate commerce act of J 887 and
the imiortaiit amendments thereto
and the anti-trust act of 1800, and it
has consistently and successfully en
forced the provisions of these laws.
It will take no backward step to per
mit the re-establishment in any decree
of conditions which were intolerable.
Experience makes it plain that th-.'
business of the country may bo car
ried on without fear or without dis
turbance and at the same time witho-it
resort to practices which are abhor
rent to the commoiiscnsc of justice.
The republican party favors the en
actment of legislation supplementary
to the existing anti-trust act which
will define as criminal offensos thoe
sHicific acts which uniformly mark
attempts to restrain and to monopo
lize trade, to flic end that those who
honestly intend to obey the Jaw may
have a ;;uidc for their action, and
that those who aim to violate the law
may surely bo punished. I he sum'
certainty should be given to the law
prohibiting combinations and monopo
lies that characterizes other provi
sions of commercial Inw, in order that
no part of the field of business oppor
tunity may be restricted by monopoly
or combination, the business success
honorably achieved.
Banking and Currency
The republican party has alwas
stood for a sound currency and safe
banking methods. It is reoiiihk'
for the resumption of specific pay
ments and for the establishment of
the c.old standard. It is committed to
(he development of our bankiuc and
currency system. Our banking ar
rangements today need further revis
ion to meet the requirements of cur
rent conditions. We need measures
which will prevent the recurrence of
motley panics and financial disturb
ances and which will promote the
prosperity of business and the welfare
of labor by producing constant em
playment. We need belter currency
facilities for the movement of crops
ill the west and south. We need
ljiinkin; arrangements under Amer
ican auspices for the encouragement
and belter conduct of our foreign
trade, in attiiiiiiutr these ends, the
independence of individual banks,
whether organized under national or
state charters, must bo carefully pro
tected, and our bunking and currency
system must lie snfeguarded from any
possibility of domination by scctiouul,
financial or political interest.
It is of great importance to the so
cial and economic welfare of this
country 'that its farmers have facil
ities for borrowing easily and cheaply
the money they need to increase the
productivity of. their lands. It is as
important that the financial machin
ery bo provided to supply the demand
of farmers for credit as it is that the
bunking nnd currency systems be re
formed iu the interests of general
business. Therefore, wo recommend
and urge an authoritative investiga
tion of national credit societies mid

Governor Simeon K Baldwin today
scut tho following telegram to Wil
liam J. Bryan at Chicago In answer to
Bryan's message concerning tho se
lection of Alton B. Parker as temp
orary chairman of the democratic nn
tiounl convention at Baltimere:
"Ueplylng to your telegram, It does
not seem to me that tho course you
suggest would promote harmony at
Baltimore.
"The republican party has been
.is'ldy destroying Itself at Chicago.
The storm center has been the action
of its national committee In plan
nlug for tho organization of Its con
ventlon. I should regard It as unwise
to agitate a similar cause of differ
ence, respecting tho action of the
democratic national committee.
"Tho democratic party of Con
necticut stands for three things:
"1 Opposition to grants of spe
cial privilege to special Interests.
2 Opposition to centralization of
power at Washington by encroach
ments on the rightful spheres of the
states.
"3 Economy In public expendi
tures. "All those who believe that these
principles should bo steadfastly
maintained belong to the democratic
party.
"No party can expect to deserve
success in the conduct of national af
fairs which Is not broad enough to
comprehend many who differ widely
Iu their views on minor points. It
will have a right wing, a left wing
and a center, all co-ordinate parts of
one and the same political body."
