[ You must take into account the fact that none of the States with the excep- ton or New York has instructed. These state delegations, without the anchors or instruction, may drift upon the cur rents of the convention into groups of which we have no idea at present. ihere is that possibility. and it invests the convention with unusual interest. Do not understand me as discounting the chances of Judge Parker. I do not know of any dark horse that is being groomed I am merely indicating pos slbilities rather than probabilities ."
 Will the convention have to reckon seriously with Hearst?"
 T can only say that Is problemat- ical"
 You appear to lay great stress upon the platform?"
 Yes. in this election the platform comes first, possibly. and then the man. In the campaigns in which MT. Bryan was the nominee, the platforms were after all, secondary in the estimation of the people, for the public believed that no matter what the conventions enun- ciated, Mir. Bryan was his own platform This year 1t will be different and take it that the platform will be accepted as the declaration of the party, as well as the views of Judge Parker or Senator NOAAhd UT MHO0NCI elSe may De nOmI mated.
 So the platforms the thing. The peo- pie of this country are undoubtedly III sympathy with the great principles of the Democratic party. The problem is tc make this platform so broad that all the friends of Democracy may stand upon 1t and that all the vital diversified inter- ests of the republic may be represented in its blanks. Unless I am grievously mistaken the platform of 1904 will be the broadest. most comprehensive and satisfactory of any which has been sub mitted to the people in years"
 So far as the Democratic party will formulate them, first will be a revision of the tariff SO as to remove some of it's inequalities. The people are imbued with the idea that the tariff has in some re- Spects grown to be an instrument of op- pression. and they are looking to the Democratic raTtv to remedy the evil
 That. as I zee 1t, will be the domi- nant issue. Then there will be the trusts think the convention will be wise and conservative in the promulgation of this issue, It will seek to discriminate be- tween legitimate business enterprises and these aggregations of capital which levy burdens upon the people and whose soul Is rapacity."
 "As have said. the outlook for the success of tho Democratic party Is en- coGraglng. Conditions make politics and conditions are responsible largely for the success or failure of political parties in na tional elections. I should say that con- dltions this year afforded the Democratic

Deputy Collector Root Does Good
 Work in Franklin County.

Huntsville, May 2.-(Special. )--Dep- tity United States Collector VI. S. Root has returned from Franklin County. where he made three successful rexe- nue raids. At Pleasant Site. he cap tured a 50-gallon copper still in full blast with 100 gallons of beer and other supplies. Amos Malone was cap- tured while at work and was taken to Hamilton and is now in jail. Six miles east of Hamilton, Mir.

 The agitation for the establishment of union depot by the Southern and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad has again been revived by the newspapers and Chamber or Commerce. It is believed that the proposed sta- tion will eventually be built, but in the meantime the passengers of both roads are at a great inconvenience. The Southern will be compelled to go to a considerable expense In making alterations in the depot here as this will be made an eating station in a short time.

Congressman Bankhead Talks.

Congressman ysnn H. Bankhead of the Sixth Congressional District. was in Birmingham today. He said: "I regard the chance for Democratic success in the forthcoming campaign as good. I nave several reasons for this" he con tined, for I believe that we arc going to have a good platform and a good man tn stand upon 1t. The spirit of con servatism, not blind adherence to the the things of the past. but intelligent conservatism, permeats, the party. The delegates are going to St Louis with the determination to nominate the best man. regardless of the prejudlces and iealousies which ha Ie hitherto had such u lamentable effect upon the fortunes of the party iH recent presidential cam pafgns
 Indications point to the nomination of Judge Parker. However, it would not be wise to say that his nomination is a foregone conclusion. It is true that Judge Parker's prominence as a presidential possibility is due largely to the fact that the party has been steadily eliminating candidates from its consideration, and, as 1t were. en- deavoring to make a choice by the law of natural selection. This has un- doubtedly made Judge Parker the most prominent figure before the par ty It may result in his nomination without the semblance of hesitation or a struggle. On the other hand in the supreme moment it might result in the choice of some other man. Nothing is certain in politics.
