has been received from Washington by
the local military authorities that the
plans for the proposed transport dock

tion.
In connection with the transport dock

TWO FACTIONS IN STRUGGLE
Some Democrats Would Demand Sulli
vans Resignation as Bryan De-
sires, Others Would Keep
Committeeman.

PEORIA, ILL.,, August Whether it
pleases him or not William j. Bryan
will be endorsed as the next presidential
candidate Of the democratic party by
the state convention of the Illinois
democracy which will be called to order
tomorrow. Bryan has stated that under
certain conditions he does care for the
endorsement of the Illinois democracy.
but this win have little bearing on the
convention and Bryan will be endorsed
irrespective of the fact that he has an
nouneed, he does not care for the ap-
proyal of the democrats of the state
officially expressed, if Roger @. Sullivan
Of Chicago is allowed by the conven-
tion to retain the position of National
Committeeman, to which he was elected
in 1904.
1t is expected that there will be
stormy times in the convention, but al.
debates will lead to the same end, which
win be the endorsement of Bryan. Ii
his friends are successful in all attempt;
to gain control of the convention, he
will be approved as matter of course.
If the men to whom Bryan has said he
is opposed, are successful in retaining
control of the party organization, they
will endorse him, no matter what h.
says.
The friends Of Bryan have been posi-
tive in their assertions that if the con-
vention does not call for the resignation
of Sullivan, they viii fight with all their
strength against any resolution endors-
ing Bryan. If they are not able to con-
troll the convention, and indications
tonight seem to be against them, they
viii be unable to prevent the endorse
ment from going through.
Both parties tonight are making
claims Of being able to check the con-
vention tomorrow. Sullivan claims he
will have so per cent, The opponents
claim this statement is absurd. The
outlook tonight is that the convention
will sustain Sullivan, refuse to ask his |
resignation, do nothing that Bryan asks
md then endorse him in the most fiat
ering manner,
