DQpid K. Francis For
 Manager Of Campaign

Washington, June 1.-(SpecialD - There is said to be a movement on' foot to have eX-Governor David R. Francis of Missouri placed at the head of the national democratic commttee to manage the campaign. He is one of the delegates-at-large from his state to the Denver convention. Nearly two years ago Francis came out unquali . fiedly for the nomination of MT. Bryan and since then has been in full fellow ship with the democratic organization of Idissouri. Twelve years ago he re- fused to support Bryan, having allied himself with the Palmer and Buckner outfit, for 1t went against the grain with him to vote the republican ticket.
 Governor Francis is a man of great executive ability and democrats here who have been heard to express an opinion are of the belief that he would make a splendid chairman. It is un- derstood that he knows of the move rent in his behalf and has not said CT done anything to discourage his selec- ton. It is also believed that he would

 Joy was depicted today on the faces of most of the White House callers, for nearly all are happy over the news from Chicago pointing to the victory of the administration forces over the packers of the other republican can didates for the presidency. The Pres ident had one caller, however, who look ed anything but happy. He was Congressman Dalzell of Pittsburg, who is about to start for Chicago, being a delegate.
 Dalzell is looked upon as one of the rankest of the high tariff men in public life and 1t was evident today that he is greatly pestered over the fact that the Roosevelt- Taft combination, so ob :. Jectionable to the high tariff people, will not only name the candidates but will dictate the platform, and if all reports are true the tariff declarations will not suit Dalzell and most of the other Pennsylvania republicans, Nho if any revising is to be done would have 1t upward rath than downward. Usually so ready to talk after a fisit to the White House, Dalzell today was not inclined to say a word. W. s.

 Fully 5000 veterans took part in the parade, while thousands were unable to take the long walk. It was witnessed oy mroe than 100000 people. The parade be- gan promptly at Il o'clock, and the rear guard left the starting point at exactly noon. while it's whole length was an even 2t blocks.
 From the dear old commander-in- chief who led his army forth, sitting upon a Black steed, and spreading all around him the influence of his radiant face, to the black old negro who carried the chicken in his arms, every veteran re- alized the warm place which he oc- c,,pies in the heart of the young south
