SPLIT ON IMPERIALISM.

Silver Republican Committee on Resolu-
tions Divided.
KANSAS CITY, July 6.-When the
Silver Republican national convention
was called to order by Temporary
Chairman T 4ller the subcommittee ap-
pointed at le meeting Of the commit
tee on resolutions to draw up plat
form was still far from an agreement.
The subcommittee held another session
during the morning in an endeavor to
decide on the disputed question of i'm
perialism. The insertion Of an anti
imperialist plank was only opposed by
Western members Of the sub-commit-
tee, many of whom are avowed expan-
sionists and who favor the ignoring of
the issue altogether. Up to the time of
convening, however, this point had not
been decided, and it was stated that the
platform probably would not be COM
pleted until late in the afternoon.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported the selection Of Judge
L. w. Brown of Ohio as permanent
chairman Of the convention and Fl. A.
McCreary of California as permanent
secretary. Judge Brown received
hearty recognition from the conven-
tion as he took the chair.

PERMANENT CHAIRMAN RICHARDSON.
the general sentiment of the various
planks, several of the members mani.
tested disposition to make changes in
the phraseology and also in the order Of
presenting the various subjects to be
embodied in the declaration Of prin-
ciples.
The members who had led the fight
against 16 to declaration desired the
place Of Importance given to other than
the financial issue, and the silver men
decided to do SO. In accordance with
this decision
The Place of Front Rank
was given to the subject of Imperialism
and to the questions growing out of the
Spanish war. These subjects, including
imperialism, militarism, Cuba, the Phil.
ippines and Porto Rico, occupy fully
half of the declaration, beginning with
an assertion Of their paramount and
supreme Importance, and declaring
that ''while other issues are vital, the
questions of imperialism strikes at the
existence Of the republic"
A change was also decided upon in
the declaration regarding the Chicago
platform and the coinage of silver.
This declaration is placed well down in
the body of the platform and the Ian
guage is changed considerably. The
Introductory phrase of this declaration
as originally presented was changed by
striking out the words, "We reafirm
the Chicago platform in whole and in
part and in letter and in spirit, and it
is made to read as follows:
1--WE reafirm and endorse the princi-
pies of the platform adopted by the
Democracy in convention assembled in
1867
This is followed by positive dec
laration for free coinage OF the precious
metals, and this in turn by strong
denunciation of the gold standard legis-
lation of the last congress.

SLOW IN GATHERING.
Second Days Session of the Democratic
Convention.

Second Days Session of the Democratic
Convention.
KANSAS CITY, July 6.-At 1920, the
hour fixed for the opening session of
the second day of the Democratic ma
tional convention, not more than half
the delegates were in their seats. The
audience busted itself with cheering the
leaders as they arrived but even this
grew monotonous and after another
half hours wait manifest signs of i'm
patience were shown. The band la
bored necessarily to offset the confusion
and the melody of patriotic airs served
to keep the crowd in fairly good humor.
Shortly after IL o'clock the slender fig
ure Of Chairman Richardson loomed up
above the platform assemblage. He
swung the gavel and above the din
family could be heard his calls for or
der. Slowly quiet was brought out of
the confusion and the chairman pre-
sented Rt. Rev. John J. Glennan for
the opening invocation, the entire au-
dience, delegates and spectators, stand
ing .reverently with bowed heads, while
the words OF the prayer echoed through
the building.
Resolutions Committee Not Ready.
With the conclusion of the PRAYER
Chairman Richardson made an earnest
appeal to the delegates and spectators
to preserve order SO that the work Of
the convention might progress without
undue interruption. Sergeant-at-A Arms

larly to the members not to bring their

IN FAVOR OF STEVENSON.

Vice Presidential Tide Turns Toward the
Illinois Man.
KANSAS CITY, July 6.-The talk
among the delegates is that the tide is
setting very strongly toward Stevenson
for the vice presidency. While the
leaders would not agree that Stevenson
should be the nominee it seemed that
he was gaining strength. The New
York delegation said they would stand
by Keller and favorite sons of other
states will be voted for. The Towne
candidacy does not seem to have made
much headway, although his friends
say the 16 to declaration is bound to
help him and may nominate him.
