Parker and Turner. 1t looks very
much as if this would be the demo-
cratic ticket. A judge from New York
and a lawyer and former United States
senator from far-away Washington.
The presidential part of the ticket is
seemingly so sure that only a languid
sort of interest is felt in the efforts Of
the dissatisfied ones to break down
what is called the Parker stone wall.
For vice president former Senator
Turner of Washington is a favorite

mess is still in the stage of mere talk

Waiting for Committee on

ADJOURN UNTIL EIGHT O'CLOCK TONIGHT
Nomination Of Judge Parker Toniaht
Is Now Almost Certain-Turner
for Vice President.

ST. LOUIS, July S.-Tempted by the
exciting and interesting events of yes
terdays session and hoping to witness
equally inspiring scenes today the
crowds this morning thronged towards
the convention hall earlier than usual
in order to secure good seats. By
the galleries were half filed and when
the time came to call the vast assemb-
lage to order there was scarcely a
nook or Granny either on the floor or
in the balcony untitled with perspiring
humanity. The thermometer register
ed pretty nearly at the 100 mark yes
terday in the hall and the prospects,
are that this will be duplicated IL nor
exceeded today.
The convention was called to order
at 1914 a. m. for it's fourth session.
Prayer was offered by Rabbi Samuel
Sale of ST. Louis. A call for the report
of the committee on resolutions bring
ing no response, the roll of states was
called for on the announcement of the
members of the new national commit
tee. When Taggart's name was an
nOunced as the member from Indiana
he was given an ovation. The names
of CASTOR of Massachusetts. Campau of
Michigan. Mack of New York, Daniels
NJ North CarnIino of
sylvania, We're loudly cheered. The
new national committee was asked to
meet at the jefferson hotel immedi-
ately after the final adjournment of
the convention.
On motion a committee was appoint
ed to wait upon the resolutions COM
mittee and ascertain when it would be
able to report. A delegate suggested
trat the interim be filled by the silver
tongued orator from New York, Bourke
Cochran. This suggestion was loudly
cheered. but Cochran was not in the
hall. There We're calls for Towne,
Towne, but he refused to speak. Bailey
was also called for. To kill time the
roll of honorary vice presidents was
called.
Richmond P. HObson was called for
and was warmly greeted as he took the
platform. Hobson was repeatedly
cheered.
Hobson said: We must solve the
great problem of how the white man
and black man can live together in
peace. We are trying to solve this
great problem and we find the execu-
tive of this country forcing upon a
class that should dominate, persons
not of that class. Shall sectionalism
ever be again raised in this united ma
ton? (Cries OF No MO- The
happiness of millions cannot be sacri-
feed because the party in power is
playing politics with the vital ques-
tions of the country" He called upon
the democrats to see to it that the re-
publicans shall call this years battle
field a Waterloo for their party.
The platform committee announced
that a unanimous report would be sub
mitted at 8 o'clock tonight. There will
be no minority report.

Former Congressman Heard of Mis-

Former Congressman Heard of Mis-
souri,, said:
Everything is now harmonious and
Hill has made many additional friends
because of his great efforts to bring
about harmony. Some times when
Bryan disagreed with the sub-commit-
tee Hill would offer resolutions that
would satisfy both sides. Hill and
Bryan understand each other thor
'oughly and good feeling prevails.
Even General Weaver told the commit
tee he would take off his coat and
work for Parker"
Parker of New York will be nomi
mated for president by the democratic
national convention either tonight or
tomorrow morning. At the session
which begins at o'clock tonight the
platform signed by every member of
the resolutions committee, including
Hill and Bryan will be reported and
adopted. 1t will neither requdiate nor
reaffirm any former principle of the
democratic party. Money questions
will not be mentioned. There will be
a tariff revision plank and a strong
the ticket. In fact it would not be
surprising if he announced to the con-
vention that he will support it,
Bryan went to the Jefferson hotel
when the platform committee had ad-
journed and after a hearty meal lay
down to recuperate for the night ses-
sion. The antis went into conference
today on a plan to have the Nebraskan
take the lead on the floor in an effort
to defeat Parker by either making a
speech. They said his matchless ora
tory might yet stampede the conven-
ton. Bryan himself answered an in
quiry by saying that he was not GER
tain what course he would pursue as
he did not wish to appear exultant at
the outcome of the fight in the COM
mttee, but his friends answered for
him that Bryan had won a great vic
tory and they appreciated it. For a
Scrpps News representative Bryan
briefly analyzed the platform as framed
by declaring that there are four great
planks, namely antitrust, tariff labor
and imperialism. He is pleased with
all and it is known that his opinion
is that Hill will be unable to recognize
his original platform.
The tariff plank is good" said the
Nebra skan. In fact it could hardly be
improved upon. 1t denOunces protec-
ton as robbery of the masses and
gradual reduction of schedules is fa-
vOred. The labor plank has an anti
government by injunction clause
The antitrust plank is stronger than
Bryan expected. 1t calls for the en-
forcement of the criminal laws against
trusts and deals with rebates. Bryan
regrets that he had to give up his
money plank, but his friends have
taken up the slogan that the old money
plank still stands in effect as the
party's declaration.
