a Biblical question, I take it-strictly
Biblical. The Bible says a widow can
marry again if she wants to. That hits
your case, but the Bible don't intend
that you or any other widow is going
to make a fool of herself in taking a
second husband. Seems to me there is
something said about fatherless and

The Philippine delegates got togeth-
er soon after the national committee
meeting and drew up the following
protest to the convention:
1T is understood that the national
committee will recommend the Philip
pine delegation be seated in the ma
tional convention merely as matter
of courtesy and that the delegation be
denied the right of vote and speech.
The Democratic delegation from the
Philippine islands believes that for the
good Of the Democratic party and as
matter of justice to the people of the
Philippines their voice should be heard
in the councils of the party. There is
no doubt that the Filipino people look
to the Democratic party for assist
ance. In the platform adopted in Ma
Mia April 80, 1904, and framed by DEM
ocratic Representatives from every part
of the island, the people of the Philip
pines stated to the Democratic party
their grievances, their needs (partly
for unrestricted trade with the Unit
ed States) and their demand for re-
dress. That platform should be con-
sidered by the national committee be-
fore it adopts national plank with
respect to the Philippines. The Philip
pine delegates urge upon the conven-

apparent political idleness, late this
afternoon 1t renewed it's warfare
against Parker's candidacy, and SEN
ator Victor Bowling, Charles A. Towne,

started to poll delegations and to ask
for votes against Judge Parker. Sena-
tor Bowling, on behalf of Charles F.
Murphy, made this statement:
Judge Parker cannot be nominated.
We have 400, more than one third of
the convention, pledged against him.
He cannot be nominated. ONLY this
afternoon we won three new states to

Harmonious Meeting Of New Workers
The meeting of the New York state
delegation today was marked by a de-
gree of harmony such as has not pre-
vailed in this delegation for several
presidential conventions. 1t was ru-
mored prior to the meeting that Tam
many had practically decided to retire
from the race, fully from it's heretofore
emphatic opposition to Judge Parker,
and this was partially confirmed by
what took place at the delegation
no objection to the selection of David
B. Hill as member of the committee
on resolutions, and this harmonious
action was repeated when State Sena-
tor Thomas F. Grady, of Tammany
Hall, was selected as the member of
the committee on rules and order of
business. Former United States Sena-
tor Edward Murphy Jr, of Troy, was
made chairman of the delegation, and
Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, was re-
elected as national committeeman.
James w. Ridgeway, of Brooklyn,
McCarren adherent, was unanimously
selected to represent the state on the
committee on credentials.
The only spice injected into the
meeting was the offering of resolu-

Mr.. Cochran said that the financial
question as presented in the last two
national platforms had been discarded
by the people, and that this decision
should be the basis of the financial
plank in the new platform. George
Ra1nes, of Rochester, opposed Mr.
Cockran's motion. He argued that
there was no reason for an extremely
radical course on the plank, but said
he had no special ideas on the question
himself, and believed that the matter
could be safely left in the hands of
Senator Hill. He moved that it be re-
ferred to Senator Hill, with power
This was adopted by a vote of so to &c,

Senator Grady offered a proposition
that should resolution be introduced
to the convention proper proposing an
abrogation of the two-thirds rule and
the adoption of a majority rule, New
York should oppose it. Senator Hill
remarked that he thought that matter
could be intelligently acted upon by
Senator Grady in the committee on
rules and 1t was unanimously referred
to him. The meeting then adjourned
subject to the call of the chair.

COMMITTEE DECIDES
FOR CONTESTE[S
Neither the Illinois Nor Any
Other Contest Is Sue
cessful

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-The national
committee this afternoon held what in
all probability win be its last meeting.
The reports of subcommittee present.
ed to hear contests from Illinois, In
diana, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Jer-
sey, Ohio, South Dakota and the Dis
trict of Columbia We're heard and con-
CURED in. These reports in every in
stance recommended the placing on the
temporary roll call of the convention
of the contestees. Not one contest was
successful. The majority of these will
go before the committee on credentials.
In the Illinois case which is by far
the largest and most important, the
committee deciding in favor of the
Hopkins delegation, the committee sub
mitted a report which reads:
1t is the opinion of the committee that
the national committee in cases like the
present should recognize the credentials of
the regular officers of the only state con-
Vention held. In some of the COMPRESSION
al districts there was evidence to show
that questionable methods prevailed. Iii
some cases 1t appears that delegates Sc
lected by district caucuSes We're replaced
by persons who had not been selected by
the delegates OF. those districts, and in
some instances it is at least doubtful
whether the SubsttutionS were properly
made.
1t would require long and exhaustive
inquiry to ascertain the facts. Such an
investigation is impracticable and in our
view would be against the province of this
committee. We are unanimously of the
opinion that for the redress of the alleged
grievances in those contests the conven-
ton itself and not the national committee
is the proper forum.
On motion of John T. McGraw, of
West Virginia, Palmer Woods, of Homo
lulu, was declared a member of the
committee to succeed William H. Corn
well, deceased.
No Votes for Filpinos
Mr.. McGraw brought much woe upon
the delegates from the Philippines by
securing the passage of a resolution
providing that the delegates from those
Islands and from Porto Rico should be
given each six seats in the convention.
but no votes until their status had
been fixed by the convention.
The Philippine delegates, who were
waiting the action of the committee
In the hall outside, left in great wrath,

guessed they were not wanted"
Clark Howell, of Georgia submitted
a resolution commencing the work of
the retiring national chairman, James

mlttee. 1t was unanimously adopted,
and, after Chairman Jones had eX-
pressed his thanks for the appreciation
OF his work, speeches praising his work
and that of the other committee officers
were made by Committeeman Mack
and others. The committee then ad-
journed.

PARKER'S MAIL
INCREASES NIGHTLY
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
KINGSTON, N. Y, July 5.-On the
eve of his nomination by the st. Louis
convention Chief Judge Parker appears
as though his name had never been
mentioned. He is pursuing the same
busy labors he has for years followed
at this time, attending to farm work
and his legal opinions. The only diff
ference to the observer is that this
year Parker's mail has increased near
ly twentyfold and kilograms are being
showered upon him as fast as oper-
ators at Kingston and one operator at
Esopus can receive them.

ton as a matter of reason and justice
that due consideration be given to the
platform"
The platform is given in full, as part
of the protest. From what could be
gathered from the delegation it seems
that they feel that the failure of the
Philippine platform to declare for the
independence of the islands is largely
responsible for their trea tment.
