SnCe Plank
10 Dam Leader.

Denver, Colo. July 6.-Since giving
his approval to the Nebraska state
democratic platform some months
ago, 1t is stated upon authority that
Mr.. Bryan has not written a prospec-
tive platform for submission to the
national convention. nor has he made
drafts of planks to be incorporated in
that document
The Nebraska state platform, how
ever, was drawn entirely upon nation
al issues, and Mr.. Bryan has let It
be known both at Lincoln and Denver
thar the planks in this document re
lpresent precisely and exactly his
views on every public question inten-
ded to be brought forward in the
looming campaign.
That Gompegs will not get all he
is demanding in the way of anti-in-
/ junction legislation IS evidenced hy
tho attitude Of the Kansas and Mis-
souri, leaders, now on the ground.
They have been in conference with
Bryan recently and no doubt express
his sentiments, When they declare
that nothing shall be said in the reso-
lutions that win tend to show thar
the democracy party wants to de-
tstroy the courts or to refuse protec
ton to life and property.
Reed Outlines Plank.
John II Atwood of Kansas, who no
doubt speaks by the card, says the
platform should only go far enough to
prevent the abuse of injunction pow
er by the courts.
James A. Reed says the platform
should be emphatic on the PROPOSE
tion that the party stands TO protect
life and property and that il favors
restraining orders without hearing
when life and property are in immin-
/ ent danger He insists though that
the power should be regulated so that
federal courts cannot set aside state
laws without hearing, or If they do
issue temporary restraining orders, to
lrequire them TO give a speedy hear
ing.
II the platform follows these lines
It will not be altogether to Gomper's
liking. However. the democrats will
see tnat it will be so much nearer his
,plan than tho republican platform
stands for that Gompers will tell the
labor vote TO accept 1t.
