SEES BRYAN VICTORY
ChieagO'S Mayor Tells Why De-
mocracy Will Triumph.
M'KINLEY is LOSING
GERMANS IN PARTICULAR FEAR
SYSTEM OF MILITARIsM.

New York, June 21.-Mayor Carter
Harrison of Chicago. when asked what
he thought of the Republican plat
form, said he did not believe it would
attract many voters to Mckinley.
Bryan is sure to win anyway" he
said. Platforms are not the issues.
and the people nowadays vote for
those whom they think will best rep
resent them. The fight this year will
be largely one of personalities. Colo
mel BFyan's personality, his Individual
1ty, is attracting votes to him, while
Mckinley repels them. Throughout the
west thousands of men who were
against Bryan four years ago are with
him now.
In Chicago particularly Mckinley is
losing ground rapidly. There is a great
deal of dissatisfaction with the admin
istrahOn, especially because of its at
titude towards trusts and its imperial
istic tendencies.
In our city there are thousands of
Germans who four years ago voted al
most TO a man for Mckinley, but will
oppose him next fall because of the
expansion ideas set forth in the plat
form and the actions of the admins
tration in the far east.
ITO these Germans expansion and
colonlSm means great army, and a.
great army includes eventually a sys-
TEN Of consumption and militarism,
which IS just what has driven hun
dreds Of thousands of Germans to this
country, and they won't see US make
the mistake if they can help it. I am
informed by some Of the best posted
Germans in the west that the detection
from Mr. Mckinley will be general
throughout the country
Another thing that has operated to
exasperate the Germans is the admin
istratiOn's apparent fOndnesS for a
hard and fast alliance with Great Brit
ain and it's opposition to an expression
of sympathy with the Beers.
I'm my opinion, however. the trust
problem is the most important cOnsid-
Grafton. Although the Kansas City
convention will doubtless reaffirm the
platform of 1896, the campaign will be
| fought on the two issues of trusts and
| Imperialism, and strong planks on
these subjects will be introduced in
/ the platform.
Silver, if it is mentioned at all, out
| side of the reaffirmatiOn of the Chi
| cago platform, will occupy a secondary
/ place. and a supreme effort viii be-
made in the direction of bringing to-
| gether all elements of the party"

DAVIS PREDICTS BIG WAR.
Senator Says Chinese Crisis Is Hugely
Important

Important.
Philadelphia, Pa, June 2.-In the
opinion of Senator Davis of Minnesota,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign affairs, the situation in China
is even more grave than published dis
patches would indicate and may de-
velop into an international problem
such as the powers have not had to
deal with in many years.
mo man can tell what will come out
Of the present situation in China said
Senator Davis Y shall be agreeably
disappointed if the immediate cOnse-
quence does not result in complica-
tiUns which it will take years to
straighten out. Moreover, generations
to come may find that in awakening
China the western world has brought
into existence a giant which viii insist
upon taking part in affairs at inOppOr-
tune moments.
''That the powers are in a dilemma
which they would have been glad to
avoid may be taken for granted. It
seems inevitable that China viii be
partitioned. Certainly the acting en-
press will be dethroned. This cannot
be done without a war. which will prob
ably repeat itself many times.
1T must be remembered, too, that in
China lives fully One-fourth of the
worlds population. The people there
have a civilization of a certain sort,
that was in existence when the wolf
was sucking ROmUlus. Until now the
newer civilization has made no i'm
preston upon China. If we force upon
the yellow race our methods, and in
China they are accepted as readily as
they have been in Japan, we viii ere
a-e a force which viii be sure to work
inf he frrf1
tory of the world. 1 look upon the
present crisis as more important than
any that has arisen since our own
civil war"

expansive smile.

result of a canvass of the editors Of prom
inent newspapers throughout the United
States as to the running mate of Bryan

Another favorite is William II. Hearst

A V. Booth of Chicago, of unlawfulIy
contracting in writing, with the Weare
Commission company, an option to buy
10000 bushels of corn at a future time,

The decision is important in that it
declares the Illinois law regarding
puts and calls to be valid. The defense
was based on constitutional grounds.
The court does not hold that q contract
to buy grain for future delivery is I'M
lawful, but holds that the Booth Weare
contract did not bind Booth to take
the corn on delivery day and was
merely gamble on the prices of corn.
