committeeman to the next Democrat
y National Convention. and there Is
~ time more opportune than the
present time to set the wheels in mo-

The selection Of a Democratic can
didate for President of the United

question to be considered by the un-
terrified Democracy of the Nation in |

in he South.
The opportunity is ours to place
a man well versed on matters Of
state in this convention, and there
are none better equipped-morally,
mentally, socially or politically
than r. r. Broussard. i,

Mayor Mcclellan of New York Scores
 Hearst and Hughes.
 NEW YORK, June 7.--Mayor Mo Cellan at the city hall gave out copy of long statement which he has sent to the legislature stating his personal objections to the recount bill.
 He declares that the measure is man. ifestly unfair in that it gives every as. sistance to William R. Hearst, permit ting him to select the districts in which the recount is to be made. He also de- clares that "the contest has been de- hberately prolonged by a contestant for his personal advantage, in which each of his claims have been success fully proved false and in which he himself has alone been responsible for deliberately throwing away the oppor- tunity for a speedy recount while such O recount was possible"
 The mayor declares that the bill makes 1t possible to overthrow the fairest and squarest election ever held provided the plurality is small enough.
 Taking up the statement of Gov. eruor Hughes that the granting of T recount was but simple justice, the mayor says that he did not know that any injustice had been done. If there had, he asserts, it is the duty of tho governor to make it public. e

 He also asserted that President Moy- CT of the union wanted him to go to Goldfield and murder John Neville. Neville, Orchard asserted, knew too much about the blowing up of Inde- pendence station for Meyers peace of mind.
 Orchard began his testimony by giv- ing the names of several persons he met in San Francisco when he went there to assassinate Fred Bradley, who had been the manager of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in the Occur d'Alene district. These names were given to pave the way for possible corroboration.
 Orchard said he asked for money and received $125 from Pettibone. with the assurance that be could get more whenever he wanted 1t.
 Orchard said Haywood next asked him "to go to work on Judge Gabbert of the supreme court of Colorado"
 "He said Judge Gabbart." Orchard went on. had been rendering deci- sions against Mover. whom we were trying to get out of Telluride on habeas corpus. I went to Judge Gabbart's house the following Sunday night with Steve Adams and shotgun, but we did not see the judge.
 Haywood also wanted us to try again at Governor Peabody, saying he didn't care how we got rid of him. At this time 1t seemed that Peabody was about to be elected for another term Steve Adams. Billy Alderman and l set to work and made bomb. We put it under the sidewalk at Thirteenth street and Grant avenue in Denver. The governor walked along there every morning.
 Adams and I watched for the gov- ernor until he came out. Just as the governor walked over the place where the bomb was two heavy coal wagons came out of the alley and passed over the wire leading to the bomb, and we could not pull 1t.
 After this we tried to shoot Gov ernor Peabody, hanging around his house for a long time. but not getting an opportunity. We also tried to shoo: Frank Hearne of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. Haywood said Hearne was trying to fix the legisla- ture against us and would be a good man to get out of the way. He also said that Dave Moffatt, president of the First National bank, was another. He said he was convinced that Moffatt was behind the people who were fight ing the Western Federation of Min CTS"
