 Government Osvnership.
 Mr. Jonnson's so called radical tan dencies evidenced themselves when ln conversation with MT.

He considered 1t a maral outy for the government to take over ralroads. street car Mnes, and puhffo allltles generally. against tcorpcrats greed and dishonesty"
 mr. Bryan. however, considers fhn government ownership plank aa nof being an issue in this campaign. even 2n Mr. Johnson's moral" grounds. Mr. Johnson does not want the Chirua1s- ship of the National Convention. f4a told Mr. Bryan he was too buav fnr one thing. and he knew of nc cor porattons from which he might ralan campaign contributions without their requiring legislation or immunity or some sort return. Mir. Johnson also frowns on any mention, of himself for second place on the ticket Tha eur- prise of Alton B. Parker that Mr. Bryan favors a national antf-frfunaf. ion plank similar to the Nebraska plank, occasioned greater surprise here. After reading the Parker tn- terview from Colorado yesterday, local 0EXAn A4HlQ#E daily professed antcnishment that tha New York delegates had Information of the Nebraskan's views that they themselves had been unable to cbtain of him.
 It Is by no means certain thai Mr Bryan's Ideas on the matter of anff- injunction have undergone a change since the State plank was adopted. TIC has interviewed many leaders of khe party on the point since then. bus ha has confidede in scarcely any one. Mavor Brown of this city. and possibly May or Dahlman of Omaha. are amonw the very few who know exactly what Mr. Bryan wants. Of all the delegates who have stopped oyer here on fh@ way to Denver and talked with fha candidate. none has admitted that Mr. Bryan went into details as to fhaa mooted plank ana most of them hava come away saying he merely demand cd an honest expression by lie deia. gates on the subject.

Pennsylv.nia Situation |.

 Pennsyivania sifuatios.
 Tn accordance with this Idea, 1t was stated today that Chairman Guffrey of the Pennsylvania delegation contem- plated a meeting of his delegation for tho purpose of taking action on the in this respect Is. however. slightly unique. as the enforcement of the unit rule has heretofore always obtained upon simple suggestion but not un- der instruction by the State Cqnven- ton. The last State convention failed to make this suggestion and Mr. Cuff fey's reported intention to put it into effect is uniform with practices, with the exception of lacking the sugges- ton to do so by the State convention.
 With Pennsylvania making the pre- cedent for State delegations to ' bind themselves to vote in convention as a unit. the following States could. with the same propriety. take the same ac- tion: Maine, with twelve votes, New Hampshire with eight. Vermont with eight, Rhode Island with eight Con- necticut with twelve, Pennsylvania with sixty-efght. Maryland with six teen, North Carolina with twenty-two Florida. ten; Georgia, twenty-six; Lou isiana, eighteen; Ohio. f0rty-sfx; Alas ka. six. and Porto Rico, six.
 New York, with seventy-eight unin- structed delegates. votes under the unit rule. as does New Jersey with twenty-four. Even with the inclusion of all these delegations under. the unit rule. 1t Is stin dificult to figure out just where the gain in the anti-B Bryan forces would be made. The delegates in some of these States are all instructed for Bryan. In others majority are ip- structed for him. In still others, 1t is stated that majority are uninstructed. Tn this connection, 1t is urged that the application for unit rule in States where some delegates are instructed for Bryan and others not. must make It possible for delegates instructed for Bryan, but personally agaInst him, to change their vote in caucuses, throw the entire vote of that State against him.
 With the machinery of the conven- ton in the hands of the Bryan forces. 1t Is stated by his friends that 1t will be impossible to carry out this plan should there be objection to it. No tice that 1t will begin consideration, had the result to start the Bryan lead CTS to figuring. and should 1t develop in their opinion that the result would be q gain Instead of fess to the Lincoln Ao1A0NASt AS AA1AGAAt 1S 1cSs%AS1 W A-A0'NO AA~ intereference. In the event. preceu- tion would be taken to make sure that those States where Bryan would make gains by the plan should hold the near caucus in question. as well as those where losses to him might occur. The suggestion that instructions are ful- filled and may be abandoned after the first ballot Is also declared by MT. Bryan's adherents to be theory and not fact Tuntruofiona which have been given delegates to vote for Bryan. they contend, mean continued voting for him until q nomination is made. The Bryan people regard the conception of the plan to be rather the evidence of for- form hope or effort than as an oppos- ing movement fraught with danger to their success in the convention.

COTQ6uC0 WlLH MT bEydu lQEd tadI there should be a general pronounce ment against favoritism to certain classes. This he considers the ten dency of the Republican party, and be- Heving that 1t is manifest in the unfair operation of the tariff. in the encour- agement of trusts and in undue friend Illness to railroads and other corpora tions, he takes the, position that to sin- gle out either and label it as pre-emi- nent. would be to minimize other ques- tions equally important-hence the res olutions would be a broad declaration for equal rights for all and special privileges to none, and it. Is believed that this can, be attained by declaring for reforms in the administration of government in many directions
 Plans are being made intended to lop off the Bryan vote in the conven- tion to such an extent as to prevent h Is nomination on the first ballot If possi- ble through the application of what Is known as the unit rule of voting. With the first ballot out of the way, the op- ponents of Mir. Bryan declare that all instructions will then be on and the convention can proceed to nominating a, ticket free from obligations to the Nebraskan and in the true spirit of Democracy in convention.
 Just how this plan Is to be worked out and put into operation and just what will he Its effect on the official roll call are questions to which no def mite answer can be given. even by those advocating the plan.
 The operation of the unit rule has heretofore been imposed by State con ventions. Some States have thus uni- formily imposed on their delegates to the conventions duty of voting as a unit in accordance with the, decision of the majority of the delegation on any particular question. arrived at by a caucus of tho delegation before the vote. Where State conventions have failed to impose the unit rule, it has been held that the delegation could not, by its own action, impose the rule up. on itself. Notwithstandlng this ruling, there are those here who maintain that should delegation by majority action.

THE recent purchase of the abstract
books of the Clear Creek County Abb
stract Co. necessitates that the clerk

should not be entrusted to any one who
has not had ample experience and train
ing" Extract from Idaho Springs
Mining Gazette OF October %, 1908.
There can be no doubt as to the truth
of this general statement, but the con-
clusion which the Gazette seek tos draw
therefrom is that Mr.. Peck is the only
person qualified to take up these labors
AS matter of fact Mr. Peck has new
er seen the abstract books and further
has inquired at the office of the County
Clerk in regard to the same with the
| idea of gaming some knowledge con-
cerning The books. It developed dur
the books and system was entirely diff
ferent from that which really exists
and that he would not be qualified in
any sense to take up the system with
out considerable study and time. All
the knowledge which he has con-
cerning said books was acquired from
his conversation with Mr. Campbell at
that time.
1t is not likely that man could ac
quire sufficient knowledge in a short
conversation to enable him to surpass a
person who has devoted the past nine
years to abstracting, as Mr.. Campbell
has done.
In TACT the only knowledge which Mr..
Peck has concerning abstracts was the
time that he served as County Clerk in
the early SOS. At that time the re-
cords were not near so voluminous as
they are at the present time. Mr..
George Kirkland, then deputy clerk
performed most Of the duties at the
office, Mr.. Peck spending most of his
time in Denver.
Under such circumstances it is not
difficult to determine to whom the real
ty owners and others should entrust
this department.
