DECIDED ON AT CONFERENCE
NEW YORK IN LINE FOR RoosE.
Welt.
Practically Settles Action to Be TAX.
en- by National Convention
Two Years Hence. @

New York, Sept. 14.-There was a
conference of prominent New York
state republicans yesterday and at it's
close United States Senator Platt
gave out as the chief result of the
meeting this statement:
1T was decided to endorse Mr..
Roosevelt and his administration, and
as far as it is in our power, to endorse
him for 1904"
Senator Platt said that no Other
subject was discussed at The meeting,
He admitted that there had been some
opposition to the resolution, but i:
was in the minority n the final di-
cision was practically unanimous.
THE endorsement Of President
Roosevelt" said George w. Dunn,
chairman of the republican state com
mittee, was gone over extensively.
It was the unanimous opinion that it
was not only wise to endorse the ad-
ministration of Roosevelt, but to en-
dorse him for 1904"
Colonel Dunn said that the compost
ton of the state ticket had not come
before the conference. Nobody would
tell what, if anything had been decid-
ed about the platform. Mr.. Plat and
Colonel Dunn said that the question
Of an antitrust plank was not dis
cussed in any way and they could
not say that the platform would be
discussed at q meeting to be held
prior to the convention. but that the

BRYAN FAvoRs CANDIDACY OF
OHIO MAN.
A DEMAND ON ROOSEVELT
Great commoner Insists That Presi.
dent Institute Criminal Proceed
ings Against the Trusts.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.-In the last
issue of the Commoner Mr.. Bryan dis
cusses the Ohio convention, and in.
dicates a perceptible leaning towards
Tom Johnson as a presidential condi.
date. He says:
The Ohio convention was of i'm.
portance to the democratic party for
two reasons. First, because the dem
ocrats Of Ohio Endorsed the Kansas
City platform and put themselves in
line with democrats of the nation;
and, second, because it showed Tom
Johnson's influence in the councils
of the party in the state.
This influence is a wholesome one.
He is brave and honest. His sympa-
thies aresswith the people, and he has
the ability TO Aght their battles for
them. HE'S open and aboveboard
in his mafhods, and takes the people
into his confidence. His candor is
shown by his speech as temporary
chairman of the convention.
"Mr. Johnson was not an advocate
of free coinage at 16 to 1, but the
Chicago platform had no more earn
est supporter, because he recognized
that the silver question was only one
phase Of the money question. Mr..
johnson has not studied the money
question as thoroughly as he has stud
led other economics, but he is de-
voted to the interests of the people,
and he c be depended upon to
stand with them in the settlement of
any controversy, He recognizes that
the money question is not dead, and
he says it cannot die SO long as Wall
street interests dictate financial pol
icies-and that Wall street will die
tate, unless the people are constant
ly on their guard, is only too evi.
dent"
. In big bold type, on the front page
of the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan calls up
on President Roosevelt to apply the
Bryan trust remedy. He says:
why not proceed against the
trusts under the criminal clause of
the Sherman antitrust law? Section
! of that law reads: Every contract
combination in the form of a trust,
or otherwise, or conspiracy in re-
straint of trade or commerce among
the several states, or with foreign ma
lions, is hereby declared illegal. Ev-
cry person who shall make any such
contract, or engage in any such COM
bination or conspiracy, shall be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof shall be punished
by fine not exceeding $4,000, or by inn
prisonment not exceeding one year,

Of the coal companies state that on

all the locals of the United Mine

Mitchell and pledged themselves to
stay out until the coal companies
grant concessions, no matter how
long it may be. The men apparently

Mitchell and Governor Stone in Har.
