has been making an active canvass of the situation ;n behalf of the plank. It is asserted by the Utah delegation that no such plank will be inserted.
 Much interest is manifested in the movement of the allies to organize the opposition to Bryan into something like a definite and formidable move ment. Their best efforts have hereto fore not been entirely successful. i Chief Murphy of Tammany, on whom the hopes of the "allies" have been centered, gave no sign committing his forces against Bryan. He is too shrewd politician for that when the tide seemed setting toward Bryan. On the contrary. his lieutenants passed the word around that New York's vote will be for Bryan. However. the allied opposition still contends that the fight will be continued.
 The Bryan managers have at no time shown any nervousness over the re- newed activities of the allies" and ! Mayor Dahlman of Omaha. one of the Bryan chiefs. made a very definite statement showing the expectations of the Bryan forces.
 He expressed his views as follows: Mfr Bryan will be nominated on the first ballot.
 The Bryan forces now control tfir- ty-six delegations and will have at | least that many members of the com | mittee on resolutions, and probably | more
 The platform adopted will be in ac- cordance with Mir. Bryan's personal views and will express his well known ideas on all of the important political issues
 Bryan Man For Chairman. Governor Charles \. Haskell of Oklahoma Is now regarded as the lead ing candidate for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions. but there are many other prominent men being mentioned fur the place. It Is need. less to say that loyal Bryan man will be chosen.
 The vice presidential question may be described as being in the air If the men who call themselves the old guard can unite on a strong eastern Democrat the Bryan man will not show curiosity as to the attitude of their cen. didate toward Mir. Bryan in 1896 and 1900 If the eastern Democrats fan to get together on a man ue will make A selection from hundred available can didateS. any one Of whom would be satisfactory to Mfr. Brysn.-

He said. 2 Although we have more than enough to carry out our programme. there are stIl god seats on the hand { wagon.

be the first business of the caucus. Judge Alton B. Parker is to be ap- pointed as the states representative on the resolutions committee. Only such other committee appointments will be made as are necessary to com ply with the rules of the convention as to temporary organization.
 It was reported that Norman E. Mack would succeed himself as mem- Der of the national committee from New York. There was considerable talk several days ago that William J. Corners of Buffalo would be chosen as Mir. Mack's successor, but this seem ingly has all been cast aside. The national committeemanship will be left open, however, until some future time.
 New York May Be Silent.
 The boom for Judge William ]. Gay nor of Brooklyn for second place con. tinued to die away to nothing. and there was a distinct confirmation of the belief that New York is to offer no candidate at all.
 "New York" said one of the leaders of the delegation. will not have vice presidential candidate until it has to. and we do not expect at this time that we will be compelled to have one"
 The chances that the delegation will vote solidly for Mir. Bryan. it is said. have not diminished in any way.
 Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland will not be chairman of the next Dem ocratic national committee. according 10 his own statement on reaching Den yer. "My work is unfinished in Cleve- land" said Mfr Johnson when asked regarding his acceptance of the chair manship. and while I am not as a rule given to declining positions until they have been offered me. in this case I can make 1t plain that I will not be the chairman of the national commit tee. That work is out of my line en- tirely."
 Conservatism Is the prevailing note of the discussion on the subject of the national Democratic platform. This discussion has been indulged in freely among leaders of the party generally. and Mr. Bryan has been quoted as be- ing in harmony with the idea. The one radical plank which seems to be conceded vill go into the document will he the expression on the subject Of injunction as applied in labor dis putes Those who oppose strong Ian- guage on this subject are concedinz that their effort will not be potent to prevent the adoption of a plank which will pledge the party to an amend ment of iEe law which will take no- fee of the issuance of 8 preliminary injunction imperative: also that pro vision will he made for a hearing of the case before a different judge than the one issuing the injunction and for a hearing of the facts in the case by c jury.

RUSHING ON DEATH.

That the people Of this country con
duct affairs under too great a steam
pressure and are criminally carelcs.
In counting personal danger. is shown
only too surely by a reference to two
items in the New York health depart
ment's report for last year. These
items are the deaths from organic
heart disease and those who have
met with violence as the occasion of
death. or the former there were
1881; of the latter 1914, undoubtedly
the first reflects mad driving of the
human body under our high-pressure
existence; while the second is re-.
mindcr of the absolute disregard Am.
orleans have for their lives when in
pursuit of busfness or pleasure.
OF the 49lt deaths by violence
cnly 2S4 were homicides and III sui
cidcs which leaves nearly 4.0o0 citi
zens of New York alone. Killed by

What is true of New York in this re-

OF every other city in the land.
