William J. Bryan was seen to-day
and asked

TO receive the Democratic nomination
next year. MIR Bryan?"
There is not the remotest possibility
of Mr. Cleveland becoming the nomi-
nee. Even his state will not risk him
as candidate" said Mr. Bryan.
But Mr.. Cleveland has apparently
come out of retirement and many sup
pose he Is seeking the nomination" re-
marked the News man.

fore cannot give any inside explana-
tion, but as an outsider. venture TO
say that his purpose is TO positively re-
fuse to be a candidate. after awhile.
and then allow his friends to say that
he would have been nominated and
elected had he not refused 10 run This
might AFFORD Mr.. Cleveland some salts
faction AS a salyo for the bruises which
he has nursed since 1896. There Is y
tail OF the Democratic party which was
very nearly pulled out several years
ago that Is just as monopolsllc In its
tendency as the Republican party is.
There are also a number of newspa-
pors calling themselves Democratic
that are ms monopolistlc as any af the
Republican papers. This class OF nowE-
papers can be relied upon to support
any Republican policies the hnanciCrr
OF the country are Interested In. They
keep mp an attack ON minor things and
sometimes attack individual Repubu-
cans, but they are so closely allied TO
organized wealth that they simply de-
ceive the people. II there were a law
compelling these newspapers TO carry

policies OF the editorial pages. the peo-
pie would know that the supposed edl-

DENVER LABOR SITUATION
THREATENS GREAT TROUBLE

Denver, May 12.-Unless some COM
promise is arranged Immediately it
looks as II Denver is on the verge of
the biggest labor strike ever known in
the state.
The joint executive committee of or
ganized labor and the executive COM
mittee of the Citizens Alliance held
conferences yesterday afternoon, but
did not reach an agreement regarding
arbitration, hence the strike of the
bakers and van drivers and the lock-
out of the teamsters remain in full
force.
1t was due to the fire and police
board that the two committees met in
the formers Office yesterday afternoon.
The committee representing labor sub
mitted a proposition agreeing to arbi-
trate the labor troubles, subject to the
stipulation that the arbitration COM
mittee must be composed of an equal
number of the employers and EN-
ployes concerned.
The proposition was taken up at the
general meeting of the Citizens AL
lance last night, and a counter propo-
sition made to the labor committee.
This proposition named five members
of the Alliance to meet a committee
of equal number to be selected by the
labor organizations, and the full COM
mittee to select an eleventh member.
The labor committee met last night,
and after considering the proposition
of the Alliance voted it down and de-
cided to stand by its original PROPOSE
ton, which provides that the arbitra-
ton committee must be composed of
employers and employees concerned in
the controversy.
The proposition of the joint eXecu-
tive committee of organized labor was
as follows:
Denver. Colo, May II, 1908.
''To the Fire and Police Board OF the
City of Denver:
"Gentlemen-Upon your invitation
we submit the following: On behalf OF
each and every labor union at this
time involved in difficulties with en-
ployers in the city of Denver the un-
dersigned executive committee repre-
senting organized labor offers to sub
init the entire matter for arbitration
only stipulating that arbitration com
mittees must be composed of an equal
number of employers and employees
concerned. Respectfully submitted.

Total cash to credit of the state. s799, ,3il
The committee, composed of Horace
II. Mitchell, II. O'Reilly and b. F.
Richardson, recommends the appoint
ment of a travelling auditor to inspect
the state institutions and the county
Offices so far as they appertain to
state affairs. They recommend that
for the benefit of the treasurer's of.
flee more comprehensive system OF
reports be established by the auditor
for the insurance department and sug.
gest that the state treasurer is the of.
fetal who should collect the fiat tax
rather than the auditor, as at present.
That dancing halls should be sup.
pressed is the opinion of Secretary Il.
X. Whitehead of the State Bureau OF
Child and Animal Protection. He
says that the majority of the wayward
girls who come unGer the jurisdiction
of the bureau attribute their getting
into mischief to their visits to this
class of resorts. The associations
which the young find at these halls
are of the worst possible sort, says
Mr.. Whitehead, for many men go there
with the express purpose of getting
acquainted with young girls and pur.
suing that acquaintance as far as they
may. The girls tell the officials of the
bureau that near the halls are saloons
which have private rooms attached
which are patronized by dancers.
Holders of delinquent claims against
the state, created during the last five
years. will hot all share in the benefits
OF settlement. Scores of these claims
have been filed with the auditor since
the announcement that $4,000 is
available fer the purposes of settle.
ment. More than twice this amount
is claimed by those who have already
presented their vouchers. Many will.
therefore, be disappointed. Some of
the banks hold large numbers of re.
cent claims, As the payments will be
made in order of seniority. these will
not be reached until more money is
available.
