CARR FACTION VOTES
Personnel of City Convention
Which Meets Tonight.
LEADERS CLAIM LARGE POLL
For Uninstructed Delegation to Con-
ventiOn-Indicafive OF Sentiments
Deals with Local SufTrage-sympa-
thy shown for Labor Movement.

The struggle between Democratic fac
tions of the District began in earnest
yesterday, when the skirmishing which
has proceeded for weeks under the OPP
posing generalships of ]. Fred Kelley and
William E. Carr yesterday was turned
into real live battle.
The Carr faction held elections for dele
gates TO the city convention.
This faction favors sending an unin-
structed delegation to Denver. The Kel-
ley faction. 1t is said. would instruct for
Bryan.
The election was somewhat tame. There
was but one slate. and just the formality
Of voting for it was gone through.
The twenty-five districts. the Carr lead
ers claim, polled an unusually large vote.
AS they had not been counted at late
hour last night. the question OF how
many Democratic voters in the District
favor an uninstructed delegation could
not be determined.
Leaders Are Sanguine.
The officers Of the committee, however,
seemed satisfied and predict that unn-
strueted delegates viii be seated at the
convention. The Carr faction will mold
its city convention tonight and deter
mine who the delegates and alternates
TO Denver viii be.
Candidates in the field include Chair
man Carr and William Darr, secretary
OF the Carr central committee. Several
labor leaders are also among the candi-
dates, among them being William r.
Lynch, international delegate OF the
Bricklayers' Union OF Washington.
The ticket used In each district was
white and contained the names of the
candidates TO the city convention and the
following platform:
Suffrage in the District, and plank
In the Democratic national platform COM
mitting the Democratic party 10 legis-
iation toward that end
THAT the committee favoTs organized
labor and IS in sympathy with its aims
and purposes and insists that the
Democratic national p9rty incorporate in
its platform of 1905 a plank favoring
the enactment Of such laws as will. in
the future. insure 10 organized labor
its exemption from antitrust laws of
1890. and the prevention of the extravs-
CANT and careless use Of the writ of
injunction in preventing boyeotts and
strikes.
THAT the tariff for revenue only is the
only remedy and cure for the ills brought
upon our country by the trusts, which are
the product OF protective tariff. and we
demand a plank in the Democratic plat
form of 1908 favoring this as one of the
principal issues OF the campaign"
