In an interview Wednesday UWted
States Senator Rayner, in speaking OF
Democratic and Republican possibilities
in the next presidential campaign, SAID;
eff the Democratic convention We're
held tomorrow Mr.. Bryan would be
nominated for the presidency by accla-
nation. If he receives the nomination
l shall support him not only with loyal
tv but with zeal and sincerity. The
Senator, however, strongly favors the
nomination by the Democrats OF a
Southern man and expresses the behe1
that Senator Daniel, of Virginia would
make a candidate upon whom the Dem
ocrats of the entire country would unite
with enthusiasm, and that he would be
a stronger candidate than Bryan.
Senator Rayner, however, does mol
believe that Senator Daniel or any
other Southern man will be nominated
for the presidency at the next Natlona
Democratic Convention. He voiced II
his interview the sentiments only o.
himself and those like him, who DO no
favor the nomination of Mr.. Bryan an(
hope by thus flattering the people O.
the South to cause them to Withdraw
their support from him.

Boise, Idaho, June 16--While the
trial Of William d. Haywood, charged
with conspirlng to secure the life OF
former Governor Steunenbesg stands
suspended for day, Harry Orchard,
the chief witness in the case will be
taken to Caldwell. Canyon county,
where the case against him for the

who Is presiding insthe Haywood case

morrow, acting for Judge Bryan, who
Is disqualified in the Orchard case be-
cause his partner is or was counsel
for Orchard at the time of his arrest.
Orchard will be taken to Caldwell

Social Democrats Arrested.

During the night nine OF the 16 So
cial Democratic leaders, specifically
named in the government indictment,
including Prince Tzertzereteli and M.
Dzhaparidge, were taken into custody.
The other seven succeeded in eluding
the elaborate provisions made for
their arrest. Two secret service Of
ficers, with signed warrants had been
assigned to follow each deputy and
serve the warrants as soon as the
ukase was promulgated. Among those
who have not yet been arrested are M.
Ozel, the report of whose capture was
unfounded. and M. Alexinsky, who has
not returned to Russia.
The Constitutional Democratic de-
puties today appointed a committee
to draft an address to their constltu-
ents. setting forth the work accom-
plished by the douma and criticising
the radicals for their failure attempt
ing to throw the entire blame for the
dissolution on the government
Cars Master Stroke.
There was much talk of declaring a
boycott on the new elections to the
douma, but no action was taken. The
new election law is regarded as a
mastery piece of gerrymandering,
avowedly designed to reduce to min
imum the representation on the regis
ter of those classes of the population
in which hostility to the government
has been chiefly evident.
While the effect of the present pre-
ponderance of "Non-Intelligents," over
'JnteIligents" has been TO fill the
douma with deputies devoid of all
training for the comprehension of mat
tiers of state administration, consid-
cradle portion of whom lacked even
education, the new douma
promises to be composed Of class of
members with experience of local
and accustomed to quiet
and peaceful work.
An important feature of the law is
hat each class or social group must
henceforth elect deputies OF Its Gloss,
he workmen cannot be represented by
ntellectuals who are not workmen. as
was the case in the dissolved douma.
