tins STAFF will be men prominent in
police circles throughout America.
While the big chief OF the order brig
ade will not give out any names of
those who are TO assist in keeping
order and directing things military
during the convention, he said that
his aides would all be men who have
earned regulations as peace officers.
Sixteen doorways are to be opened
for the admission of those attending
the convention. There will be four
doorSeepers to each entrance-two
active. and two on reserve list This
will necessitate the employment OF GA
doorkeepers. Col. Martin refuses TO
make public the names OF those who
will fill these highly important posi-.
tons. IL Is considered a certainty that
not more than two or three will be
named from Denver fer those posts.
In the matter of appointments Den
yer has been almost ignored The
assistant secretaries. the doorkeepers,
pages and other employees have been
selected from all parts OF the country.

Service and The TimesO


DENVER. July boss" Roger c.
Sullivan. who got on the ground
early and who has since had his hand
on the reins. is now declared TO be
framing up deal that. If ii Is con-
summated, will be one OF the hardest
blows that could be struck at VIM.
Jennings Bryan, short OF somebody
buncoing him out Of the presidential
nomination
Boss" sullivan is planning TO cap
ture the Craftsmanship OF the resolu-
tons committee. despite the stories
that Alton b. Parker may get It. or
according 10 Mayor Dahlman. OF
Omaha. II should go TO the middle
states and could not get 10 Sullivan.
because Sullivan told him he did not
want IT, That is the strange thing.
Although as yet. no one has fallen on
Rogers neck and asked him to take
the place, he is out through his
friends disclaiming any fiirtations
with the craftsmanship which is now
considered the most important one
in the entire circle.
When this story came out, today. 1t
was understood to mean that Boss
Sullivan had discovered way OF put
ting resin on the skids of Bryan 3
roller coaster" so that il may buck.
The suggestion of possibility or his
taking the place, or even aspiring 10
IL, was met by Mr.. Sullivan with an
expression of horror. He would not
have II under any circumstances. oh,
no, He would be satisfied 10 be re-
elected national committeeman from
Illinois and TO live in political har-
mony ever after.
Parker Possibilities a Zephyr.
There was much said about Park
ers possibilities for the chairmanship.
II created quite a stir. But that up
heaval will be summer breeze TO
what will happen II any one begins
boosting Sullivan for the job. That
is just the point no one dares speak
OF out loud. II Is evident that Sulli-
van could get his hooks in strong to
be named chairman of the resolutions
committees: he would have William
Jennings Bryan right where he want
ed him and could then sit down and
walt for the peerless leader" to go to
him. That is just what Roger is look
ing for. He has been referred To in
a strange language by Mr.. Bryan. and
although the wise old politicians de-
clare that no politician ever holds a
erudge from one campaign to another
1t is evident every day that Sullivan
is only waiting for the opportunity
No Antiinjunction for Roger.
Sullivan made known his ideas on
the platform that would be agreeable
10 him. He docs not stand for social
istic notions. He does not want any
thing that will create class hatred.
That means that he does not want an
anti.intunction plank that will stir up

BELL DOING GOOD WORK
IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST
California Democratic Leader Starts
East at Once at Bryan's Personal
Request, Opening at
Milwaukee

Reports from along Theodore A.
Bells route of speechmaking indicate
that 1.-THE Lion of Napa" is doing re-
markable campaign work for William
]. Bryan.
Mr.. Bell is spending the last few
days of the time In Washington state.
speaking at Spokane last night. He
had addressed Seattle and Tacoma au-
diences the previous two days.
The original intention was to have
Mr.. Bell stump California and the Pa
cific coast, but Mr.. Bryan personally
and particularly requested Bells aid
in the east. Consequently it is pos
sible that Mr.. Bell will not be heard
in California again during the cam
paign, though his latest engagement
of this season is at Chicago on Octo-
Der "a.
Engagements 6or the rest of the
month are: Butte, Mont, September
81; Helena, September 29, and then a
jump to Milwaukee on October 2.
