controversies with oriental powers,

of the immigration laws against any
immigrant who advocates assassina-
tion as a means of reforming our
government.
Popular Election Of Senators.
1--WE favor the election of United
States senator's by direct vote of the
people, and regard this reform az the
gateway to other national reforms.
Statehood.
"The national democratic party has
for the last sixteen years labored for
the admission Of Arizona and New
Mexico as separate states Of the fed
eral union, and. recognizing that each
possesses every qualification toSsuc-
cessfully maintain separate state gov
ernments, we favor the immediate ad-
mission Of these territories as separate
states.
House Of Representatives.
'"The house Of representatives was
designed by the fathers Of the cQnst-
tuition to be the popular branch q our
government, and, as such, intended to
be responsive to the public will. In
order for our scheme of federal gov
ernment to be a success it is neces-
sary that this purpose should be
jealousy guarded and protected.
"The house Of representatives, as
controlled in recent years by the re-
publican party. has ceased to be a de-
Lucrative and legislative body, re-
sponsive to the will Of majority Of
it's members, but has become an as
sembly under the absolute domina-
tion Of the speaker, who has entire
control of its deliberations and pow
ers Of legislation
I'VE have witnessed the amazing
spectacle of this popular branch of our
federal government being unable to
obtain either the consideration or en-
actment Of measures desired by ma
jority Of Its members
Legislative government becomes o
failure when one member in the per-
son Of the speaker is more powerful
than the entire body.
"We demand that the house of reps
resentatives shall again become leg
islative and deliberative body con-
trolled by a majority Of the represent
atives elected by the people, and not by
the speaker. and We pledge ourselves
to adopt such rules and regulations to
govern the house Of representatives as
will enable a majority of its members
to direct its deliberations and control
the legislation.
Agricultural Education.
"The democratic party favors agri-
cultural, mechanical and Industrial
training to enable American youths to
acquire an education suitable to their
needs and wants. We therefore, favor
enlarging federal aid under the Morrell
and other acts of congress for the es-
tablishment of district agricultural ex-
perimental institutions and agricult-
ural ana mechanical colleges conven-
lent to,the people,"

sene 1t lis presumed that she poured

with terrific force, setting fire to her
clothing and to the clothing OF the
Stephens boy, who was watching the
girl at her work. Mrs. Stephens was ill
in bed, with a week old baby. Altho
extremely weak, she arose, and rush
ing into the kitchen undertook to
auench the flames, succeeding after a
struggle, but not until she herself was
badly burned. In her weakened con-
dition, the shock TO her system was
also severe, and 1t is doubtful If she
will recover. After extinguishing the
flames from the bodies of the girl and
boy, Mrs. Stephens, who was still alone
IN the house. managed to get the bod
les from the building, carrying her new
born babe to a place Of safety at the
same time.
Mr. stephens was at work some dis

reach there until all possible chance of
rescue had passed. The house and its
contents were total loss. The build
ing belonged to Mrs. F. L. Ditteoe.

Bowers, the dead girl, was raised in

and girl lived two hours after the ac-
cident.

ton of naming Jerry Sullivan for vic.
president. The decision will not b'a
made till the last moment after mat
ters have further crystalized. If big

be among them, and his chance in that
case is regarded as good as any 9TH

Than Anticipated, However.
Denver. July 9.-Jim Guffey, Of
Pennsylvania, Bryan's pet enemy, was
defeated in his fight before the demo-
cratic convention shortly before mid
night last night, when a motion to
substitute the minority report of the
credentials committee for that Of the
majority, which unseated the Guffey
delegates in enough districts to deprive
him Of the national committeeship was
rejected by an emphatic majority.
Guffey was beaten by a vote of 3S7
to s10 The Guffeyites fought nobly,
but the thumbs Of the Bryanites were
turned down. a
After the oratory the real fight Of the
night session began. which was the
determination Of the Guffey case.
Chairman Callahan of the committee
on credentials presented the majority
report, which Endorsed the action Of the
national committee in every case ex-
cept. that Of Pennsylvania. There the
majority Of the committee unseated the
Guffey delegates from the city Of Phil
adelphia and seated. the contestants.
who were defeated by an overwhelm-
ing vote at the primary.
A minority report was presented by
j. L. Straus of Maryland and 1t was
signed by thirteen other members Of
the committee. The locality of the
signers to the minority report is par
ticularly important because 1t shows
the general protest against the high
handed operations of the majority in
control of the convention.
Besides the Maryland man there
were representatives from Illinois, as a
matter of course, and from New Jer-
sey, New York, Louisiana, North Car
olina, Georgia. Virginia, Minnesota.

Suffering From Breakdown As the
Result of Overwork.

New York, May 1.-The Right Rev.
Henry Goldman Potter, bishop Of the
Episcopal diocese of New York. Is 80
seriously ill that he has been forced
to abandon his participation In the
affairs of the church.
For a week Bishop Potter has been
confined to q room in his residence In
West Eighty-ninth street. suffering
from the effects of a physical break
down due to overwork. His cond1-
ton which, by his physician and by
those friends who have seen him. is
admitted to be grave, has been made
worse by attacks Of stomach and liver
trouble. Bishop Potter is a years
old and until the day his health gave
way he insisted on doing as much
work as was done by men much
younger and stronger. There was q
slight improvement in his condition
yesterday when it became possible for
him to sit on a couch in his room Tor
a short time. He is still very weak,
however.
INQUIRY showed that although
clergymen close to Bishop Potter and
conversant with his condition. enter
