Anti-|niunctiOn and Prohibition Questions Will Be Agitated
 at Denver
VICE-PRES|DENTIAL
 PLACE IS UNSETTLED
Upon the Matter of the Anti-Injunction Plank There Is Hesitation and Bryan Wants To Have Con
 ference Over Matter.

Denver, Col. June 29.-The fight over the anti-injunction plank in the demo- cratic platform is now the only strug gle in which the committee on resolu tions, and possibly the convention it. self may be involved
 It developed today that the prohib tion question is to be brought to the front and that desperate effort will be made to have plank declaring in it's favor placed in the platform. The prohibition movement will be headed by Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa, who demanded of the recent democratic convention in that state that it declare in favor of prohibition. General Weaver ana his followers were not successful in their efforts in their own state, but nothing daunted by their failure have arrangements to bring the matter dp before the democratic national con- vention.
 They claim moreover to have strong backing from number of the south ern delegations which have recently passed prohibition laws, and it is de- clared confidently by General Weaver Z admirers that if the democratic nation al platform does not contain a prohi- bition plank it will only be for the reason that the hardest kind of fighting has been unable to secure it's adoption.
 Injunction Discussion.
 The anti-iHjunction plank continues to provoke large amount of discus sion among such party leaders as have already arrived for the convention. While opinions differ as to the exact nature of the plank which should be adopted all are of one mind in saying it shall be a definite and specific state ment and shall leave no possible doubt in the mind of any reader as to wher the party stands on this question.
 It is now generally believed, how ever, that the anti-inju junction resolution will not provide for trials by jury Iii cases of contempt of court or favor in any way measures which might oe construed as Interfering with the pre- negatives of the federal courts.
 The friends of MT. Bryan say that such of his critics as already express ing themselves in fear of a radical anti injunction plank are fighting the air. The plank has not yet been written IT. has not been drafted, and it's form is still matter which is under deep and careful consideration. It is said to oe the desire of MT. Bryan to consult as many of the prominent members of the party as is possible before any de cisve action in formulating this reso- lution is taken.
 Vice Presidency.
 The vice presidential situation re- mains to all appearances just where s was yesterday, although the boom of Lieutenant Governor Chanler of New York seems to have weakened some- what and his name is not mentioned as prominently as it was two days ago This is largely due to the anonuncc- ment made by Norman E. Mack, na- tional committeeman from New Yorf that he has no auth ority to speak for MT Chanler. and that his interest in the movement was dictated by friend ship, and by a sincere belief that the New York official is well qualified to take second place on the ticket
 Only one new name was mentioned to- day as a vice presidential possibility. This was Gov. George c. Chamberlain of Oregon. He is much in favor witn some of the party leaders and it is said that he will be personally acceptable to Mir Bryan if the latter is nominated Chairman Taggart of the national com nittee today announced the chaplans for the last three days of the convention and the complete list is follows:
 Tuesday, July T. Rt. Rev. James J. ]<eane of Wyoming.
