CHICAGO, June civilian ]. Bryan

cratic party any too soon, declares
Chairman John P Hopkins. of the I'LL
nois State committee and delegate-at-
large to the St. Louis convention. Such
a move, he declares. would only rebound
to the benefit of the party
Chairman Hopkins. who is an ex-
mayor of Chicago and thoroughly ac-
quainted with political conditions
throughout the middle West. said:
Five States as a Unit.
Apart from the choice of candi-
date for the Presidency. it can be stated
with certainty that the delegates from
Illinois. Indiana, Michigan. Minnesota.
and Wisconsin will act together in
everything.
las for the Presidential nomination
Illinois Is instructed foy Hearst. al
though at least forty a. the flfty-four
votes are openly opposed TO his nomi-
nation. Michigan will be for Parker:
Wisconsin is for Wall on the first ball

Minnesota. l understand. is for Parker.
No Anti-PaIker Plot.
I'VE will go into no combination which
will injure Judge Parker We win GER
tainly go into none that includes the
followers of Bryan.
Bryan is going TO discover at St.
Louis just where he stands in the Demo-
cratic party. He will find that he
stands outside of it. They say that he
is preparing 10 bolt. He cannot bolt
too quickly for the good OF the party.
He is getting up a lot of contests in ILL.,
nOis, New Jersey, and elsewhere. and
am told that he wants some of the
Illinois delegates 10 bolt il his contest
in Illinois is not decided in his favor
He will find that the party is tired
of him. He is counting. l am told. on
270 votes. which he PROCESSES 10 control
through himself and Hearst Well nifty
four of these are from Illinois Hearst
may get them on the first ballot or he
may not The delegation will certainly
vote as 4 unit against Bryan on all
things ne may suggest When the time
comes TO vote for candidates ne will
know just what 10 do, but one thing Is
certain. by that time il will have been
made clear that Bryan has no influence
to either obstruct the convention or
shape its work.
The Washington times., 1904-06-29

The fight between the tive wings of the
Democratic party in Illinois gives indi-
cations OF being as great a struggle at
ST. Louis as was the Wisconsin con-
test in the Republican National Con-
vention.
The Hearst leaders. with the assist
ance of Mayor Harrison. OF Chicago
have decided to contest the seats of two
of the delegates-at-large. The men they
will fight are John p. Hopkins and Benz
jamin T. Cable. and they want the
Hearst candidates, who were defeated
at Spring ,eld. z. F. Dune and silas
Cook substituted.
Hopkins is an ex-mayor OF the Windy
City. politician Of note and influence.
and chairman of the State. committee.
Cable was the executive committee chair
man in the last national Congress cam
paign. and in that capacity showed his
genius for bringing dsscorIant elements
of the party together.
In the papers of contest already flied.
the Hearst leaders say Dunno and Cook
were the choice of the delegates. but
that a roll call was denied and that the
chair by gavel rule declared Hopkins
and Cable elected. Both Hopkins and
Gable were sound money Democrats in
1896, and they are also opposing Hearst
this time. They are outspoken against
further recognition of Bryan as a leader.
The contest is said TO have been Inspired
by Bryan personally when he stopped
over in Chicago. after his anti-Pari<er
speech in New York and had a confer
ence with Mayor Harrison.

The letter OF Gen. Nelson q. Miles to

German Tells Why Recent Conference Was Hed-Inter-
est in Illinois Situation-General Miles Position

Importance attached to the conferences
in Washington this week between Sena-
tor German, ex-senator James Smith.
1r. of New Jersey. Col. James NJ. Cuff
fey, Of Pennsylvania, and John r. Nc
Lean, of Ohio, an official statement has
been issued describing what really hap
pened.
According TO the Maryland Senator, the
necessity for some such gathering be-
came apparent because of the dilatory
and unsatisfactory conduct of party af-
fairs by the officials remaining in power
as the legacy of the Bryan campaign of
four years ago. Realizing that many
things relating to the organization of
the convention needed careful arrange
ment. the leaders named took matters
into their own hands, by virtue On mem
bership In their partys national com
mlttee.
Germans Frank Explanation.
Because of tie reports that the con-
ferences were for the purpose Of con-
trolling enough votes in the convention
to prevent the nomination of Judge
Par,Ser, Senator German dictated the
following statement:
The persistency and regularity with
which statements of this character have
recently appeared would seem to indi-
cate studied desire TO misrepresent me-
The fact is that all the conferences l
have attended have related solely TO the
proper organization of the convention.

determined the course they will pursue
with regard TO the candidates at St

conclusion until after their arrival at st.

case since the adoption of the two
thirds rule. has any nomination been
prevented when any candidate has had a
majority of the convention. and where
that majority is composed of delegates
from Democratic States they have al
ways controlled the convention.

the Senator, that the convention will
