tied-the first, that the mooted planks in the
platform will be written in Mr.. Bryan's most
approved manner and sent through the commit
tee resolutions with whoop; the second,
that the choice of the Bryaniies for vice-Presi-
dent is Judge Gray, and If he refuses New
Yorker, preferably Charles A Towne
At present there two in Dem
who profess believe that a halt be
called the Bryanites when they attempt to
force radical anti-injunction plank into the
platform One of these is Roger Sullivan, of
Illinois. who is keeping in close touch with the
so-called conservative" Democratic leaders in
an effort TO concentrate all available strength
against the Gompers-Bryan idea and gain at
least one victory in the convention. He has
hope of doing more than slightly modifying
the proposed plank. and this with Bryan's con-
sent, and TO this end he is directing vast
amount Of pressure to be brought to bear on the
Peerless One" at &he right moment. In this
he has the moral support and best wishes of the
practical politicians here. including Thomas
Taggart, but few of them share Sulivan's con-
hdence and they look forward TO an Injunction
plank which viii be substantially as follows:
We favor such modification of the laws re-
leting to injunctions will. first, prevent the
issuing of the writ in industrial disputes except
after notice TO defendants and full hearing
Second-Permit trial of such by a judge
other than the one who issued the writ, and
allow jury 10 be summoned in all cases where
the alleged contempt is committed outside the
presence of the court
GRAY THE BRYAN FAvoRITE.
MAJOR Dahlnlan of Omaha who has be-
con2e hot and cold several times since his
arrival here. in his latest statement says
Judge Gray is the ideal candidate for Vice
President. This IS taken to be the pronounce
nent of the oracle at Lincoln, and Dahlman
SAYS that Judge Gray will accept the noTnna-
ton. The Omaha Mayor also says that labor
wants Gray after Mitchell the conservatives
want Gray above all things and that t'he
carry Delaware
Dahlu1an received telegram from Lincoln
this morning saying that the Nebraska delega-
ton would prefer Gray, but failing in this would
agree 10 any candidate put forward by New
York. Bryan would prefer Towne. Norman
Mack wants Chandler, Tammany is said TO be
favorable TO Morgan J. OBrien. while the Con-
sress ooterie from the West and South wants
Harrison. AS il appears to be Mr.. Bryan's
convention said a practical politician. 1T will
probably be Towne as things look now
