 Sioux FsIis, S. D.. March S0.--The Dem- ocratic State Convention did not complete it's work until late hour tonight. The report of the Committee on Resolutions which was unanimously adopted. reaf- firms the principals of Democracy ''as enunciated by Jackson, Jefferson and Bryan" and instructs the delegates to the st. Louis Convention to support Will liam Randolph Hearst. first, last and all the time for the Presidential nomina- tton." The resolutions declare that Hearst will never compromise with trusts and terms him the champion of labor.
 One of the features of tonights ses- sion was an address by former United States Senator Richard F. Pettigrew, vlfo stated among other things this. that he believed was the first time he had ever addressed a Democratic convention but that his entire sympathy was with Sthe Democratic cause. He severely de- nounced the State and National poii- ties of the Republisan Party.
 The principal contest of the convention was over the election of a member of the Democratic National Committee. R. Johnson. the present chairman of the Democratic State Committee who was supported by the. adnerents of Hearst was elected to the position. The con ventlon defeated a proposed amendment to the report of the Resolutions Com. mittee, providing that the delegates to the St. Louis Convention be publicly pledged to support the nominee of the National Convention.

That has bees the case with the Postoffice De- pertinent thieveries, and it will be the same with every other case in which the law Is invoked for cleaning out of any part of the Government that is un- der pointed suspicion.

Gorman's Friends Busy.

Since the fresh impetus given the Par ker Presidential trend caused by the news from the New York primaries. the German people about Congress have been getting busy. The Maryland leader still has friends in the Senate. These say that the apparent strong Parker move nent Is only means of opposition to radicallsm as embodied in Bryan and Hearst. and that it has not altered tha following of Senator German.
 Be that as 1t may, it is to be, noted also that since the Maryland Senato- rial election. when Isieador Rayner was chosen against the plans of Senator Cor man. no sign has come from his own State that he has q Presidential boom yet The majority of Democrats in Con- gress have practically settled upon Judge Parker and are now turning to earnest consideration of the question of a con- servative platform, the antfthesis to the utmost of all Rooseveltism the first of which 1t Is agreed was admirably sound ea In the speech on Tuesday by Repre- sentative Williams of Illinois. who is se- riously in the minds of many as fit ma terial for the second place on the ticket to be named at St. Louis.

Mr. Roosevelt More Careful.


 The assault made by Congressman John Wesley Gaines upon the extrava- sance and enormous expenditures upon the White House, with ugly results, has at last come to a given point. causing even President Roosevelt to pause. He held a conference today with Chairman Hemepway of the House Appropriations Committee. and admitted that in view Of criticism throughout the country about the S60.00O appropriation for maintaining the White House, 1t was all right for the committee to curtail the appropriation to save 5000. MT. Roosevelt disclaims hav- ing a hand in the $60.0OO estimate, but the Roosevelt family, 1t will be recalled. laid ell the plans in last years White House budget of nearly half a million dollars for "improyements,'' which. at least m point of architectural effect, marFed in- stead of improving, and resulted in what has amazed every one who was told of the costs.
