PLATT HAS DARK HORSE
FOR THE GOYERNORSHIP
Gives Up European Trip to Make Fight
With Depew Against
0dell's Forces.

NEW YORK. June Ex-senator Platt's
determination TO take an active hand in
the national and State campaigns in
stead of sailing for Europe on July r.
as intended, has aroused new interest in
what influence he may exert in solving
the governOrship problem.
Elihu Roots positive declaration that
he will not consider accepting the
nomination is affirmed by the Senator.
At Manhattan Beach last night he
said:
Il very much fear that Elihu Root
can no longer be seriously regarded as
a gubeTnatoTial possibility. / had hoped
until within a few days that he could be
induced 10 stand. but we shall have 10
look for another man."
Has a Dark Horse.
The Senator would not deny that he
has a preference. after Root. but said
1t was not now time to express IT. His
intention. he said. is to stay in this
State and devote myself to the task
not only OF doing all | can to help in
the election Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
but have a State ticket named which
will insure to the Republican party the
State Of New York.
Then you will resume your Sunday

Senator Plat chuckled and answered:
We'll / presume that a few friends

emphatic gesture.

Oden wants Black either for governor

hard work for him or anyone else to

"Depew and I are together, and | an
as much I'm favor of his return to the

A Thousand Delegates.
In all. e04 Democrats have been elect

convention. providing Hawaii. Porto
Rico. and Alaska are given a represen-
tation of six delegates each. The Phil
ippines have not elected delegates as
they did to the Republican National Con-
vention. Should there be no change in
the present representation, 6e6 % votes
will be necessary 10 nominate. Bryan
and Hearst contend IL viii be impossible
for the conservatives to obtain that
number for either Judge Parker OF for
mer President Cleveland.
Bryan's estimate is that Hearst will
have 225 delegates. The Nebraskan him.
self expects TO have 100 delegates more
This would leave the combination light
votes short OF one-third the total num-
Der of delegates. providing no change in
representation is made. Bryan, however
will rely on his eloquence and the in
fiuence he is able TO bring to bear on
the delegates to turn them to support
him against the East In its attempt to
again dominate the Democratic party.
Tabulating the delegates elected, they
are as follows:

BRYAN TAKES FLING At
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Calls 1t Boastful and Uncertain, and
Says All Depends on What Demo-
Gratis Do at St. Louis.

LINCOLN, Neb.. June 2T-William ].
BrSan has returned TO his farm near

New York city. Regarding the Repub-
lean national platform he said:
THE Republican platform is boastful
claiming for the Republican party all
that has been accomplished by the citi-
zens of the United States in the last
forty years, most of which is not due
to any party or any party policy. The
Republican party seems 10 assume a sort

Not a Truthful Platform.

THE platform is not truthful where
it attempts to be historical. The Repub-
Hcan statement. "A Democratic tariff has
always been followed by business ad-
versity; a Republican tariff by pros
perity. is simply ridiculous
Besides being untruthful as 10 the
past the platform is uncertain as to
the future. There is no definite policy
outlined on any subject. On the tariff
question il takes as the minimum what
was formerly the maximum. making
IL the highest tarin declaration ever
made by the parry. 1t has nothing
constructive in regard to the trust ques-
ton, outlines no policy for the Philip
pines, and the only consideration IL
shows to the laboring man is to promise
him punishment if he violates the law. -

do you think that the Republicans
have any chance TO win on such a plat
form, Mr.. Bryan?"
1T depends on whether the Demo-
Gratis at St Louis write a similar one
or deal with the people in a different
spirit The Republican platform is more
clear and definite than the Democratic
State platform recently adopted in New
York
Mr.. Bryan declared he would make no
definite plan for a fight in the conven-
ton until he got TO St Louis. and con-

pected to act In full accord with him.

that 100000 acres would be benefited.
Several million dollars will be expend-

Sir Thomas is accompanied by Sir

A FAMILY AFEAiR

The Pioneer Press, in a leading ar
ticle devoted to denial of an attack on
Mr.. Dunn, introduces the subject as
follows: THE following from the Al
bert Lea Tribnne, a Democratic print,
is a specimen of the mud-throwing
which is being resorted to in some
quarters in the Democrats campaign
against the Republican candidate for
governor"
The extract which follows insinuates
that Nh. Dunn when in the city was
not in condition to face big audiences,
and the Pioneer Press defends him at
some length against the insinuation
and rebukes this Invention Of "the en-
envy"
Now there is only one word of fault
to be found with this, which is that the
Albert Lea sTribune is a Republican
newspaper. This agreeable little affair
is all in the family. The paper making
the grave charge and the paper refut-
ing it are both of the same party as
Mr.. Dunn himself. Nor is the Albert
Lea paper the only Republican journal
in Minnesota in which a similar charge
has appeared. We have no desire to
interfere in a family quarrel, especially
when it is as happy a family as the
| Republican party in his state. But WE
certainly expect Of the Pioneer Press
the proper public recognition of its
mistake in attributing its text to a
Democratic source. It would also prove
an appropriate occasion for some re-
marks on the way in which Minnesota
Republicans love one another.

THE LEADER A

Judge Parker has taken personal and
direct charge of his own campaign.
This is what every Democrat in the
United States has desired. The
G. e urged ten days or so ago that
this step be taken. The Democratic
party wants a leader capable Of direct
ing it's affairs as well as shaping it's
policies. 1t has one.
This appearance Of Judge Parker at
the head Of the actual fight does not
supersede any one else. Mr.. Taggart
remains chairman of the national COM
mittee, with all the power and honers
that attach to his position. Mr.. Cor
man remains it's confidential adviser in
relation to political affairs in the East,
with which he is more intimately ia
miliar than any other living man. Mr..
Sheehan remains Judge Parker's lieu
tenant with special reference to the
state of New York 1t is a perfect or
ganization, without friction, without
jealousy, but carefully adapted in all
its details to the needs Of the hour and
the prosecution Of a thorough and sue
cessful campaign. osPsi
The announcement gladdens every
Democratic heart. The party. had no
slightest reason to be dissatisfied with
its campaign conduct. Everything was
being done and well done. But the
sentiment throughout the country that
Judge Parker should come to the front
and direct his W affairs was over
whelming. We need the effect of his
personality. All that the country needs
is to know him better, and it is learn
ing more of him every day. His letter
of acceptance has shown him every
| where as a broad minded, stout hearted
patriotic American. AS a practical
! leader of men he has no superior in the
United States. It is in that capacity
particularly that he o appears. and
| more and more will his influence be FELT
as the campaign progresses. We be-
lieve that the Democratic party is going
to win this national battle, and, that
the appearance OF Judge Parker at the
head of his own forces viii contribute
not a little to that glorious result.
