BRYAN'S WISHES NOT
 OBSERVED IN ILLINOIS
STATE CONVENTION DEFEATS REQUEST FOR ROGER SULLI-
 YAN'S RESIGNATION

Placed Upon the Table by n Vote oi
 1,0SS tO 57O-On Top of This the
 Nebraskan Is Endorsed for the Presi-
 dency-Feeling Over the Matter Very
 Intense-several Fights During the
 COnventiOn-COnfuslon Reigns su-
 preme.
 Peoria, H.. Aug. 21.-By a vote of 1,O3S to 57O the democratic state conven- tion to-day placed upon the table the request of'William J. Bryan for the res- ignation of Roger Sullivan from the na- tional committee. Despite the fact that MT. Bryan had declared that he did not wish to be endorsed unless Sullivan was repudiated, the convention declared him to be the one and only man capable of leading the democratic party to victory in 1908.
 The endorsement of Bryan and the tabling of the motion calling for the resignation of MT. Sullivan came at the close of most exciting session of the convention, in which there were sev- eral fights and throughout which con- fusion resigned supreme. The commit tee on resolutions declined to report a plank calling for the resignation of Sul- livan, and the debate followed upon a motion made in the convention by Judge Owen Thompson, of Jacksonville, calling for Sullivans resignation. It had been agreed that each side should have forty-five minutes in which to pre- sent it's side of the case, and Judge Thompson was the first advocate of the cause of Mir. Bryan, He aroused the hostility of Sullivan's friends by the unsparing manner in which he dwelt upon the last democratic convention at Springfield. He strode up and down the platform, his face white with wrath and his form shaking with the inten- sity of his feelings. His caustic criti- cisms finally lost him the ear of the convention, and he might never have been able to conclude his speech if Sul- livan had not personally requested
 
 quiet
 Sullivan, who followed Thompson and who was the first speaker in his own behalf declared that the ear of MT. Bryan had been poisoned against him, and the demand for his resignation sprang from his personal enemies.
 Great feeling was displayed on both sides during the debate, and at times personalities of a disagreeable charac- ter were made by various speakers. The end came on motion made by ext Congressman Kern, of Belleville, that the request for the resignation of Sullivan be laid on the table.
 Feeling during the roll call on this proposition ran very high.
 A plank in the platform which re- ceived much applause was that declar- ling in favor of governmental ownership of telegraph and telephone lines.

SPEAKER CANNON ENDORSED
PR ESIDENTIAL BOOM HEART.
 ILY FAVORED IN ILLINOIS

Republican Convention Receives Men,
 tiOn of His Name for Chief Executive
 of the Nation in 1908 With Great
 Enthusiasm-Senator CuIIOm En-
 dorsed for Reelection - Roosevelt
 Administration Praised.
 Springfield. H., Aug. 21. Treasurer of state, John F. Smulski; superintendent of public instruction, Francis G. Blair; trustees of state university, Mrs. Carrie s. Alexander, Frederick Hatch, Alex ander McLain and L. L. Lehman (short term).
 The foregoing ticket was nominated by the republicans of Illinois to-day in a convention which was marked by harmony and good feeling. The presi- dential boom of Joseph G. Cannon for 1908, which was launched last week by his own congressional district, was giv- en an enthusiastic endorsement by to- days convention. The mention of Can- non's name brought the convention to It's feet, and there was enthusiastic cheering. The convention. by unani- mously endorsing Senator Cullom car- ried out the will of the people of the state, expressed at the primaries a few weeks ago.
 Outside of the endorsement of Speak CT Cannon for president and Senator Cullom for reelection, there was little of general interest in the proceedings. The fight for state treasurer was the most spirited of the convention, but MT. smulslzi wos easily on the second ballot.
 The resolutions contain an endorse ment of President Roosevelt's adminis- tration, of Illinois senators and repre- sentatives in congress, and of the ad- ministration of Governor Dineen.

WRECK ON THE 0 N E.
Passenger Train Crashes Into Freight
 Three Injured.

Three iu5hEeus
 Canaan, Aug. 2t-A passenger train scheduled as No. ', which left Miller ton at 9:45 for Campbell Hall, both points being over the New York state line on the Central New England rail- road, was in collision with the local west end freight, known as No. 30. at Silver Nails at 1912 this noon, result ing in injuries to three members of the train crews. Aside from a shaking up which was quite severe none of the passengers was hurt The three men hurt are J. P. Crilley of Poughkeepsie. N. Y, about the head and shoulders; Mail Clerk Thomas Fitzgerald, head and side hurt; Fireman Patrick Hic- key, leg broken Mir Crilley is a super visor of the road
 The trains were running at good speed, and the impact interlocl1ed the engines to the extent that they will have to be torn apart. It is thought both are ruined. The rolling stock on both trains was not damaged to any extent. The engineers and firemen jumped when they saw that a collision was impending, and all escaped injury save Hickey Medical assistance was secured from White Plains. An in- quiry into the cause of the accident is impending.
