Injunction the Only Radical Plank in Democratic
 Platform.

Bryan has been quoted as being in harmony with the idea. to be conceded will go into the docu- ment, will be the expression on the subject of injunction as applied in la bor disputes Those who oppose strong language on this subject are coneeding that their effort will not be patent to prevent the adoption of q plank pedging he party to an amend ment of the law which will make notice of the issuance of a prelimn- ary injunction imperative also that provision will be made for hearing of the case before different judge than the one issuing the injunction, and for hearing of the facts in the case by | jury.
 There promises to be struggle be- fore the resolutions committee over the question of an anti Mormon plank. Four years ago at St Louis such a plank was made part of the demo- cratic national platform and an ef- p.r tr, ilN la t, bn tt la, serted in that document. Former United States Senator Dubois of Ida ho has to-day been making an active canvass of the situation in behalf of the. plank. Senator Dubois is involved in g. contest for q seat in the conven- ton but he has announced that how ever that question may be settled he will go before the resolutions commit tee with the anti-Mormon plank and bring to bear every influence possible in It's behalf
 It is asserted by the Utah delegation that no such plank will be adopted Judge W. H. King, of Salt Lake City who has been chosen as Utah's mem ber of the resolutions committee, has the unanimous backing of his delega- ton in opposition to the plank His argument is that the Mormon question Is dead issue. He asserts that the practice of polNgamy has ceased in Utah and that the only remnant of Ii Is in the lives of number of Mormon patriarchs who married their wives long hefaore the practice was declared unlawful and who are. not by then quiet lives creating ripple on the new order of things.
