they are talking over with leaders Of
delegations from other states the ques-
ton of ruuning-mate, and to all del
eg4tions that have a candidate for the
place, and giving assurances OF their
distinguished esteem. Former Senator
Hi, William K. Sheehan, former sen
ator Murphy and State Senator Nc
Carren held a levee all afternoon and
tonight, while they not yet seen all
the delegations promised for Parker,
they are in a state of confidence, so
much so indeed that they are not pay
ing any attention TO the arrival of the
leaders of the Tammany delegations
in fact. Senator MCCaTren said this
evening: We are looking for people
who have UuinstrUcted votes to de-
liver. The Tammany votes viii be cast
by ex-senator Murphy, who votes New
York state under the unit rule. and ne
VIII cast them for Parker. who viii
likely be nominated on the first ballot,
ana surely on the. second
Platform Not Drawn Up.
Two things were stated definitely at
Senator Hills headquarters tonight,
cyst, that no platform has been drawn
W for Judge Parker to stand on. and
that even a rough draft win not be
forthcoming until Wednesday; and,
second. that Judge Parker as a candi-
date viii readily stand upon any plat
form that a majority of the convention
agree upon. This last statement 5 sig
nifcant because it is thoroughly well
known that he would not stand on
radical platform 1t is. therefore. evil
dent that Parker supporters are al
ready assured that the convention VIII
not agree to even "A suggestion Of rad
fcalism as suggested by Bryan and
Hearst supporters, but. indeed, viii
strongly tend in an entirely different
direction. particularly on the financial
and tariff planks. A man close to Sen
atoT Hill said tonight:
Bamberger Interviewed.
The feeling is that the Bryan ele-
ment have had their way twice. One
year they did as they pleased and the
next time they we're catered to by haV-
ing the old platform endorsed. They
have had their innings and have failed.
This time they must give way TO the
conservatives. and il they are good
Democrats they VIII do it gracefully
ihlS Is not a mere sentiment from
New Workers or from the east. Early
this afternoon state Senator Bamber-
ger Of Utah came here and made the
statement that while he had twice sup
ported Bryan and his principles and
had IN each campaign given largely of
his personal wealth 10 try and elect
him. he believed he should be elm
mated from this campaign and that If
necessary the party should go to the
extreme Of absolute Reputation Of his
ideas The Texas delegation also feels
the same about it. and are for a direct
declaration in favor of sound money
Financial Plank.
And so some OF the time of the Par
ker adherents this afternoon was given
UP To the considera ton of a financial
plank in the platform. There is some
difference Of opinion as TO whether the
plank should read sound money or
simply refer to the money of the con-
stitUtion-" while a few think il would
be- proper to declare for gold stand
ard This latter thing viii not be done.
~ 1t IS probable there viii be a dec
SaTation. for the money of the con-
stitution.
Senator Hill himself is paying little
or no attention 10 the platform al
least al present. and this statement
was made for him this afternoon by
one of those close TO him. Senator
Hill IS not drawing up the platform and
while he VIII represent the state in the
committee on resolutions. he viii moi
be its chairman. Several men Of
affairs, including some OF the Unit
ed states senators and members
Of congress. are preparing in
diVldual, planks and VIII submit them
al a conference on Tuesday or EVednes-
day But Senator Hin wants il distinct
" understood that he has no platform
prepared and that the only thing he
j. devoting his attention to is the nom
i1ation of Judge Parker"
Germans Position.
sdne OF The assurance Of the Parker
nlaS gers on the success of their can
didate was based upon a statement
made 10 them by d close supporter of !
Senator German, who said that the
senator had refused 10 allow his name
70 be used for the purpose Of edectinE
a consolidation Of interests inimical to 4
the candidacy of Parker. 1t was stated 4
tIat while Senator Germans name
would be presented, il would be for
the purpose of keeping him eroouned i
50 that in case Of the failure of the /
Parker boom he would be available.
some OF the things that the Parker +
adnerents believe are greatly to the
advantage Of their candidate. are:
