Republican Congressional Convention.

The Johnson presidential boom furnishes
new story every day. One of the latest and
not altogether improbable and impossible
stories is that Bryan may finally retire in favor
IF Johnson Another defeat would put Bryan
down and out, but by having Johnson nom1nat-
ed Bryan would still remain the Democratic
leader, and the power behind the throne in case
of success.

BELL BEGINS BATTLE
Speech of Temporary Chairman
 of Denver Convention.
SUMMARIZES CRITICAL ISSUES

Addressing Great Assemblase oi
 Democratic Delegates, the Eloquent
 Californian Announces the Princi pIes
 For Which tke Democracy Will Fight
 Theodore A. Bell of California, tenn porary chairman of the Democratic national convention, addressing the delegates assembled at Denver, sum- med up the issues of the coming cam paign as follows:
 We have assembled at time when the public conscience is demanding honesty of purpose in the men who undertake to direct the affairs of state. The public eye is keenly sensitive to every political movement, and our pro- ceedings here will be approved accord ing to the, degree of sincerity appear ing in the work of this convention. There is widespread belief, founded upon evidence of convincing charac- ter, that the party in power has not been true to its trust. that it has be- trayed the common interest into the hands of the enemies of good govern ment, thereby forfeiting its right and destroying its ability to rule in the name of the people.
 Apparent to every one is the fact that way down deep in the heart of the Re- publican convention at Chicago there was feeling of anger and resentment over the popular clamor for reforms. and it is equally apparent that there is no bona fide intention on the part of the Republican party of granting any

PRESTON PLEASED.
Man in Prison Who Was Nominated
 for Presidency.

Carson, Nev, July I'M. R. Pres ton, who is serving twenty-five years sentence in the Nevada state prison for murder, and who was nominated by the socialist labor party at New York for president of the Unitod States, gave out the following inter- view from his cell yesterday When the telegram announcing his nonlina- tion was handed to aim he showed no surprise at the news.
 T am not greatly surprised at the action taken in the matter by my party" he said. 'In sact, I was aware they would recognize me in some way or another. I am partieu- iarly we'll known to members of my party and I am socialist from the ground up. I have always been a defender and expounder of the prin- ciples of the TUciallst pnrty and will always continued to be one. While am not at liberty to make q state ment covering my nomination owing to instructions from my counsel, Judge o. N. Hilton, at the same time am willing that my name shall re- main at the top of the ticket as the socialistic nominee for president of the United States. I recognize the honor conferred upon me and am proud of it. On the other hand if Mir Hilton desires that I withdraw from the nomination I will ask that my name be taken from the ticket and some other substituted. I have not been officially notified of my nom- ination by the convention in New York. but will probably receive it in due time. At the present time as stated before I am powerless to make any decisive statement owing to in- structions from my attorney. but later on I may have something to say in the matter"

reforms if the machinery of that party can be retained in present hands. It's paper platform, divided like ancient Gaul into three parts-barren promises makeshifts and evaslons-it Is hoped will make good campaign transparen- cy, but no one seriously believes the Republican party indorses that neutral manuscript which held the convention together until it could ratify the nom- ination of presidential candidate.
 Duties of the Democracy.
 There are three things that this con- vention should do. It ought to pre-. sent in plain and intelligible man. ner the serious industrial and present conditions that are disturbing the peace and happiness of our country. We should then proceed to a cour- ageous exposure of the Republican policies that are cooperating with pri- vate greed in the general oppression of the people. Most important of all, we must exhibit readiness and an ability to grasp the problems of the hour and to effect their solution in a manner that will satisfy the sober, common sense of the multitudes whose interests are at stake.
 Among the great evils that affiict the country at the present time is the abuse of corporate power At first the advancing aggressions of the corpora tions are not discernable to the com mon eye. for every move is carefully covered up until sufficient political strength Is attained to defy the pro tests of the people. Thus the constant and insidious invasion of the peoples rights finally results in a species of ar rogance and defiance so formidable in fits appearance that the body of the people, in fear of even worse aggres- sions, hesitate to exercise their right. ful authority over these colossal enc mics of the commonwealth. And so we behold a subverslon of our free in- stitutions, a government voluntarily subordlnating itself to selfish, private ends, special privilege resorting to cunning. bribery and intimidation to maintain. it's unholy power. while the masses timidly hope that when avarice has at last reached the point of safety 1t will then benevolently permit the people to resume their rightfuI share in the government Of themselves. Whenever the mutterings of the peo- pie become too threatening the cry of conhscation goes up. and appeals are frantically made to the sacred rights of property. This Is intended to alright the ears of honest men In the enjoy ment of the fruits of their industry and thrift and thus by playing upon their prejudices and fears to deter them from casting their influence on the side of wholesome reforms. The try of conhscatiOn is the historic de- fense of usurpation. Let the people take warning. Whenever the wrongs of today become the vested rights of tomorrow the nation is in deadly peril
 The Democratic party is not the enc my of prsperty; but. to the contrary. tt has always stood and will continue to stand firmly against every species of aggression that would destroy or weaken the right of any man to enjoy he rewards to which his patience. his EkilI. bis industry and his economt sntitle him Our party approves that feeling of pride vksSh always accom- psniss the possession of parity. and f

\ Gala Day.

Circus day is the youngsters busy time; the glitter of the spangles is in his eyes just as it was in his dad s thirty years ago when he trudged bare footed to town and carried water for the elephants to get into the show. The circus is an instructive institu- tion and has proven beyond a doubt that athletics and education go hand in hand, that the development Of mus Gle and mind is now part of the schooling taught in all the great in- stitutions of the world Parents should teach their children athletics. A weak body or mind is poor foun- dation upon which 10 build a good education. It has been proven time and again that weak body and mind never made an educated man.

 In judging our president, from the address given 10 Us on Monday after noon, We foretell for the club one of the most successful and profitable years work yet done by it's members, with so able an officer in the chair. Vacation experiences have always been one of our most enjoyable feat ures on Reunion Day, and certainly proved to be so on this occasion.
 One member related her wonderful luck fishing which immediately called forth q poetical quotation from an- other, which was very apt:
 There was a man from Iowa
 l Who took hook and line and did fly away. 1 When he came back. Oh. how he did lie away '
 Another gave advice as to how to ride on a street car without your fare and without getting put off 1 Others told of vacations spent in Colorado, the East, Ashevile, Calves |

THREATENS TO VETO BILL.
Naval Appropriation Condemned Tn
less Two New Battleships Are
Provided For.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will veto the naval OPP
preparation bill should the senate, as
did the house, fail to make any APP
preparations for the two battleships
which are authorized in the measure.
The prompt announcement of this
fact. to senate leaders today is re-
garded as responsible for the an
nouncement by Mr. Hale that he
would propose an. amendment appro-
priating $7.O00,000 toward the con-
struction of those ships.
The president stated his position
on this point with the usual empha-
sis and suddenness today upon learn
ing that the bill as passed by the
house was simply a paper" provi-
sion for naval increase. Authorize
ton of the ships was made. but no
money carried to make the provision
effective. Such legislation as this.
the president made known to his nu-
merous congressional callers. was a
travesty as to effectiveness, as well
as bearing all the earmarks of legis-
lative legerdemain intended to make
ridiculous his campaign for the
greater navy.
