William Randolph Hearst will give
his support to the democratic ticket.
In recent issue of his paper he says
editOriallyl
Harmony, That should be the
slogan Of the democratic party. Let us
have no more Of the treason and sulk
ing which for eight years have kept the
democracy out of power
There was fighting at the ST Louis
convention, plenty of it, but everybody
had his say, every faction was given a
hearing. And the convention, having
done its work, it is the duty of good
democrats Loyalty to accept the platform
and take the ticket and exert them
selves fol the election of Parker and
Davis.
The st. Louis platform is sound on
the main thngs-the trusts and the
tariff Its whole spirit is thoroughly
democratic, and any democrat can ac-
cept it in good conscience.
1t is high time that the blows which
democrats have been delivering upon
Que another should fall upon the repub-
lican party. surely there is enough in
that organization aud its presidential
candidate to arouse in democrats, radi-
cal and conservative alike, the spirit of
enthusiastic opposition.
Judge Parker is II man of digniiied
position and gravity of character and
when he writes his letters Of acceptance
and breaks the silence he has SO long
maintained on all questions save the
gold standard he will doubtless speak in
such way Ms to rally to his side those
democrats who would have preferred
some other candidate.
With united democracy and n
leader standing for government by law
instead of government by caprice and
favor, the battle against the republican
party can be won.

the employment of men to work IN their

The union had secured an injunction
to prevent Marnitz & Co., from violat-
ing the terms of the agreement ana
employing men belonging to another
labor organization A motion to DIS
solve the injunction gave rise to the
snit. This is said to be the first time
union has obtained an injunction to
secure the rights 1t contended for and
that, accordingly this is the first in
stance of q judicial opinion upon the
legality of contract of this nature.
Should the case be appealed to the
supreme court and the decision OF Judge
Ludwig be affirmed by that tribunal,
the matter could not but have far
reaching effect upon the future prac-
tees Of labor unions If a contract
entered into by labor organization
and an employer of labor shall, IN the
eyes Of the law, amount to II conspiracy
to deprive any class Of men of chance
to secure employment and thus prevent
them from earning a living, union men
will have to resort to different tactics in
order to hold their jobs
on the whole the decision, while i'll
harmony with the principle of free
competition, is decidedly adverse to the
interests of labor organizations. Free
is all right when it goes
haad in hand with tariff for revenue

Henry G. Campbell, a staff CORES
pondeut of the Milwaukee Journal
pays the following complement to the
peerless leader of democracy, William
Jennings Bryan.
st. Louis, July /. From first to last
the dominant figure in the democratic
national convention, which will stand
in history conspicuous among its kind,
was William Jennings Bryan. Upon
the intelligent, unbiased men who at
tended the convention no other man
made the deep impression that Bryan
did. Whatever one may think Of some
of his political beliefs, he is no dema-
is one of his virtues and courage is an
other. He has ideals and they are high;
and he has principles and he defends
them; fights for them He may some
times err, as it is human nature to do,
but his powers OF logic, his keen insight
into things and his rare eloquence,
voice dlctlon and delivery make HIM
strong in n weak cause and unassaiable
In strong cause.
His mastery work as leader of the
minority in the national convention
caused many to wonder whether a new
Bryan has not risen. Not a new Bryan
is he, but a matured Bryan, Bryan at
his best Years of political struggle
have ripened his character; adversely
has chastened his spirit without dimin
ishing his high courage, his absolute
fearlessness; he is broader, more mag
unanimous than he was, but as hard a
fighter and more dangerous fighter,
than ever.

TAMMANY TAKES THE LEAD IN THE FIGHT AGAINST PARKER
Tigers Hope to Defeat Jurist by

delegates. Among the radicals the feel
ing is that the party must not be sur
rendered into the hands of Wall street.
The influences back of the Parker can
didacy are so intimately associated
with the trusts and great corporations
that the Democratic party could not
appeal to the masses. The party can
not afford to intrust its future to the
men who were responsible for the par
tvs defeat in 1895 and 1900. If Parker
had a record of his own he might be
judged upon that record. But as he has
refused to speak he must be judged by
the record of his political manager, ex-
Senator Hill, and his financial agent,
August Belmont, and their records. A
man who is weak enough to put his
candidacy in their hands before the
convention would not be strong enough
to resist their influence after the cleo
ton if he was by any possibility sue
'cessful.
The second objection is the one that
carries weight with the conservative
delegate, viz, that he cannot win. 1t
is becoming more and more apparent
that he would prove a weak candidate.
The first fight seems to be over the
Illinois contests. The Illinois case has
no parallel. The convention was run
by brute force. The contestants will
present the Endorsement of majority
of delegates of the convention, who,
having been deprived of a vote in the
State convention. will appeal for JUS
tice. The national committee cannot

BITTER CONTESTS FOR SEATS.
Hopkins Hearst Fight i'm Illinois the
First to Be Decided.

ST. LOUIS, July 3.-The National
Committee will meet tomorrow to
hear evidence in number of contests.
The real fight in the majority of these
cases will come before the committee
on credentials. The principal con-
test will be in Illinois, where protests
are made against two of the delegates
at large, John p. Hopkins and Ben T.
Cable, and twenty-six other delegates,
two from each of the thirteen dis
tricts. The basis of contest in all
these cases is practically the same,
it being alleged that the Hopkins
faction in the Illinois Democracy ar
bitrarily unseated delegates of the
Harrison and Hearst factions for pur-
poses of their own. without a shadow
Of cause. The Hopkins faction, on the
other hand, alleges that the original
elections were void and that the ac-
ton taken in the Illinois State Con-
vention. when the delegates of Harri-
son and Hearst were unseated. was
only righting a wrong previously COM
mitted.
The fight for the seats in the Illinois
delegation takes on added interest
from the fact that Bryan has entered
the lists actively against Hopkins.
Practically the same situation ex-
lists in the Tenth District of Indiana
Other contests that will come before
the committee tomorrow are from
the Second Maryland District: the
First, Second. Third, Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth Districts of Pennsylvania:
the Second, Sixth and Seventh of New
Jersey.
1t was said that the hearing of the
evidence in these contests would not
consume great deal of time and that
the main fight would be made before
the Committee on Credentials in the
majority of cases.
The Hopkins faction of the Illinois
Democracy is positive in its assertions
that the National Committee will seat
its men. 1t claims to have made a
canvass of the National Committee.

New Jersey VIII Not Present the For
mer Presidents Name.

ST LOUIS, July 3.-All possibility of
the presentation of the name of
Grover Cleveland appeared to van
ish when the New Jersey delega-
tion arrived to-day and announced that
in all probability it would not make an
aggressive campaign in the interest of
the former President. fhis decision
vas agreed upon at a meeting held on
the train as it approached st. Louis.
The meeting was held for the purpose
Of organizing, but also took up the
question Of policy with reference to
Cleveland. Seventeen of the twenty
four delegates are for Cleveland. but
they decided not to press his name un-
less there should appear to be a good
prospect of his nomination
Seven of the New Jersey delegates
are for Parker, but no effort has been
made to reach a decision as to the can
dicate in case a definite conclusion not
TO present Cleveland's name is reached.
Former Comptroller Eckels. who held
Office under Cleveland also declined to
state whether Cleveland's name would
BE- presented.
Il won't say that there will be a for
NAL nomination, but / am sure that
when Cleveland's name is mentioned
ii will be received with enthusiasm"
Being pressed for a more definite an
rOuncement. he would only say:
L am sure we will have a conserva-
tive ticket on conservative platform. -

THE failure of the prune crop would
have entailed very serious consequent

Bordeaux is really the center of the

Of preparing this fruit here are so su-
perior to the manipulation it receives
elsewhere that California prunes

are exported in large quantities to the
United States, where they compete
successfully with the American fruit.
which has not incurred the cost of dou-
bic expectation. In 1908, for instance,
there were almost no prunes raised in
this region-probably not one-twentieth
of the normal crop. The deficit was
supplied by the importation of prunes
grown in California and Oregon. This
fact know from having been required
to make inspections of the condition
of such importations and afterward to
give testimony in litigation resulting
from controversies over the quality and
salable character of such prunes
Though the prune crop of this re-
gion was so small as to be almost neg
lible, the quantity in the markets of
the world not being large enough, in
fact, to supply the home demand, the
export Of French prunes was not ma
terially lessened.

formation that any were shipped as
California prunes.' None passing

After Partaking of Choco-

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July g.
Mrs. John Andrews, bride of Assistant
Controller John Andrews of Atlantic
City, is under the care of a physician
at the Hotel Windsor, and it is feared
she has been poisoned by eating candy
which she received through the mail
last night.
Mrs. Andrews was Mrs. Pauline G..
Baird (nee Stavro) of Virginia. She
surrendered a fortune to marry An
drews, who is many years her junior.
They were secretly married in New
York a year before the announcement
of the nuptials was made here. The
brides fortune was left to her by her
first husband, to go to his heirs in
event of her remarrying. From what
can be gathered it appears that the
box of chocolates came in the after
noon. There was no mark indicating
who sent the gift, and the wrapper has
been destroyed. The writing was un-
familiar to Mrs. Andrews.
