DENVER, Colo. June 29.--The fight ove'
tn anti-injunction plank in the democratic
platform is not the only struggle in the
committee on resolutions and possibly the
convention itself may he involved. II de-
veoped today that the prohibition question
Is to be brought TO the front and that
desperate effort will be made to have a
plank declaring IN its favor placed In the
platform. The prohibition movement will
he headed by General James b. Weaver OF
Iowa. who demanded Of the recent demo-
cratic convention in that state that II
declare in favor Of prohibition. General
Weaver and his followers were not success
fu in their efforts IN their own state. but
nothing daunted by their failure. have made
arrangements to bring the matter up before
the democratic convention They claim
however, to have strong backing from
number Of the southern delegations which
have recently passed prohibition laws and
It is declared confidently by General Weav.
ers adherents that II the democratic ma.
tiona platform does not contain a prohibit
tion plank, IT will only be for the reason
that the hardest kind Of fighting has been
unable to secure its adoption.
AntI-Injunetion Plank.
The anti-injunction plank continues to
! provoke a large amount Of discussion
among such party leaders have already
arrived for the convention. While opinions
differ as to the exact nature Of the plank
/ which should he adopted all are OF one
| mind in saying that II shall be definite
| and specific statement Such members OF
| the national committee as have discussed
/ the matter are a unit in saying that the
wording Of the ant-injunction plank shall
leave no possible doubt in the mind Of any
! reader as to where the party stands on this
! question.
/ II is not generally believed. however that
| the anti-iniuncton resolution will not pro-
vide for trials by jury In cases of contempt
! of court favor in any way measures
which might he construed as interfering
with the prerogatives of the federal courts.
The friends Of Mr. Bryan say that such
of his critics as are already expressing
! themselves in fear Of a radical anti-injnno-
tion plank are fighting the air. The plank
/ has not yet been written. It has not been
| drafted and It's form is stil a matter which
| is under deep and careful consideration. It
! is said to be the desire OF Mr.. Bryan to
| consult as many of the prominent members
of the party s is possible before any deci-
sive action in formulating this resolution
, is taken.
Statement of Mr.. Sullivan.
Roger c. Sullivan. national committee
! man of Illinois, gave out a statement today
embodying his views of what the platform
should be- Mr.. Sullivan is not the subject
of ardent admiration on the part OF Mr..
Bryan who once specifically requested that
he resign from the national committee, and
It is not to be expected therefore that Mr..
Sullivan has concerned himself greatly
garding the views on the platform enter
tanned al Lincoln
While his statement deals largely with
generalities, Mr.. Sullivan makes It clear
that he is opposed to any plank which diff
ferentates between classes Of citizens
either in or out Of the courts. That all men
should be equal before the law, he de-
clares. is the doctrine which all members
of the democratic party are essentially
bound TO maintain.
Setback for Chnnler Boom.
The vice presidential situation remains
TO all appearances Just where II was yes
terday, although the boom Of Lieutenant
Governor Chanler Of New York seems to
have weakened somewhat and his name is
not mentioned as prominently as It was
two days ago. This is largely due to the
announcement made by Norman F. Mack.
national committeeman from New York,
} that he has no authority to speak for
Mr. Chanler and that his interest In the
= movement was dictated by friendship and
by a sincere belief that the New York
official is well qualified to take Second
place the ticket
Only new name was mentioned to-
day as vice presidential possibility, this
a was Governor George f. Chamberlain OF
Oregon He found much favor with some
n OF the party leaders and It is said he will
- be personally acceptable to Mr Bryan, II
n the latter is nominated. Sponsors of the
ga--H FN -
g New York state claim to be greatly en-
q couraged by the fact that already five
d New York men have been mentioned as
e aspirants to the vice presidential nomina-
s ton They believe that with the New York
5 delegation divided among that number OF
n candidates outsider has a far better
o chance Of securing the prize than would
Il be the case II the delegation from the
i Empire state were standing solidly for a
n single man.
