SOUTH TO DICTATE.
Race Question May Be an Issue in Ma
tional Politics.

ST. Louis July 5.--Grover Cleveland's
plea of brevity in the democratic plat
form has apparently fallen on listless
ears. There is entirely too much for
the democrats to say 10 dismiss the
platfrom with a few planlSs. Everybody
knows that a conservative is to be noni-
mated for the presidency. There is talk,
too. about conservative platform. But
at the same time a platfrom must be
built which will help hold all the demo-
cratic voters.
TO accomplish this is mighty prob
lem. Roosevelt will be made an issue
in the campaign. Then there are the
trusts, a foreign policy. Imperialism and
a few things that the republicans have
overlooked that must be discussed The
democrats want to make Il platfrom
that will catch votes. The south de-
anands among other things. the inser-
ton of plank that will bring the race
problem forward. The politicians don't
express 1T that way, but the campaign
of 1904 will introduce the negroes as an
issue i'm the national campaign.
Roosevelt will be made the Issue i'm
tho campaign. The south is vindictive
in its hatred because of his negro policy
and the one hope of democratic success
is that the east may be aroused on the
plea that he is unsafe There will be
an effort to Introduce the race question
MS an issue in some of the states of
the central west, more particularly

HEARST MEN UNsEATEp.
National Committee Recognizes the
Entire Hopkins Delegation.

NdSiOIldI No!nrNltIeS recognizes t''
Entire Hopkins Delegation.
ST. Louis. July 5.-The national COM
mittec met this morning to receive re-
ports of subcommittee appointed yes
terday to consider contests in various
states. All contests We're settled last
nuight with the exception of New Jer-
sey and Illinois.
The national committee reported In
favor of seating the Hopins delegates
In all Illinois contests.
The Harrison and Hearst men were
greatly dishea.sencd by their defeat
and announced their intention of carry
ing their fight before the committee on
credentials and If beaten there. before
the convention itself.
This statement did not alarm the
Hopkins people who said the argument
that won for them before the national
committee would hold good before the
convention.
Contests in other states were report
ed by various subcommittee as pre-
viously announced and their action APP
proved by the national committee.
The subcommittee reported to the
national committee that it was the
unanimous opinion of its members that
the Hopkins delegates be allowed to re-
tain their seats. The report was con-
CURED in and the Hopkins people Will
hold their seats unless ousted by action
of the committee on credentials. The
decision of the subcommittee was based
on the ground that the state conven-
ton was supreme, that fights in district
caucuses are not proper matter for
adjudication by the national committee
and that it Is not the business of the
national committee to get behind the
records of the convention as submitted
to them. The fight should. in the opin-
ion of the committee, have beeen made
in the state before completion of the
record of the convention. This showed
the Hopkins people are the regularly
accredited delegates and sustained
their contention that the national COM
mittee did not have the right to decide
the contest.
