Senator Du Bots of Idaho
Finds Few Delegates DiSpos-
ed 10 Take His Anti Mormon
Crusade SeriouIy,


has been the prevailing note Of the
discussion on the subject Of national
democratic platform today. This dis
cussion has been INDUCED in freely
among prospective members Of the
resolutions committee as well as
among the leaders Of the party gem
orally and Mr.. Bryan personally being
IN harmony with the idea. The one
radical plank which il seems 70 be con-
ceded VIII go into the document, will
be- the expression on the subject of an
anti-injunction law as applied In labor
disputes. Those who oppose any strong
language on this subject are c%onceding
that their influence will not be potent
which will pledge the party to an
amendment Of the law which will
make notice Of the issuance Of a pre-
ilminary injunction imperative; also
that the provision viii be made for
hearing Of tho case before d different
judge than tho one issuing the l%njunc-
ton. and for a hearing of the facts Ia
the case before a jury.

cratic national platform n an effort

today been making an active canvass
Of the situation in behalf Of the

has announced that however the ques-
ton is settled. ne win go before the
committee with an anti-Mormon plank
and bring to bear every influence pos
sible In it's behalf.
IT Is asserted by the Utah delegation
that no such plank viii be adopted.
Judge II. w King, Of Salt Lake, who
has been chosen as Utah's member Of
the resolutions committee. has the un-
animous backing OF this delegation ia
opposition 10 the plank. HIS argument
Is that the Mormon question IS a dead
issue. He asserts that the practice OF
polygamy has ceased IN Utah. and that
the only remnant OF il Is in the liv, :
Of a number OF old Mormon patri-
archs, who married their wives long
before the practice was declared un-
lawful and who are now leading quiet
lives, creating scarcely a ripple on thu
