BRYAN TO MODIFY
INJUNCTION PLANK
Opposes Radical View Ex-
pressed in Platform.
ANXIOUS TO SECURE HARMONY
Text OF Denver Platform Has Not
Yet Been Drafted, and Leading
Dictate Specific Directions. but
VIII Have General Supervision,

New York, July 3.-The sun correspond
ent at Denver sends the following dis
patch:
The most important piece Of news
which reached Denver from Lincoln to-
day in connection with the Democratic
platform was that Bryan was engaged in
drafting some suggestions for a modihca-
ton Of the proposed plank declaring for
curtailment Of the present power OF
Federal courts 10 grant injunctions and
restraining orders
Just how Bryan would be willing "a
have the Injunction plank modified, no
body who talked wit hhim on the subject
was able TO say definitely. but they were
inclined to believe that the radical plank
contained in the Nebraska State Demo
cratic platform. which Bryan drafted
would be changed considerably before
presentation 10 the committee on resolu-
tions at Denver for incorporation in the
declaration Of principles upon which the
Democratic candidate would stand before
the country in the campaign.
Bryan told some Of those with whom
he talked that he did not intend to write
the Denver platform. although he would
have suggestions TO make in regard to
the character. scope, and phraseology OF
some of the most important planks.

Wants Guney Kept Ont.

Bryan sent word tonight that Col.
James NJ. Guffey, Of Pennsylvania, must
be beaten for reelection as national COM
mitteeman for the State Bryan Is dread
fully opposed 10 Col. Guney. The Penn
sylvanians are TO hold caucus on Mon
day morning and they will then name
| their representatives on the credentials,
rules, and resolutions committee. Bryan
has recently made the same statements
to Guffey's friends that he made about
Roger c. Sullivan. Of Hlinois-that is.
that Guffeys reelection as national com
mtteeman would be an embarrassment to
| the Democracy Of the country.
Col. Guffey's friends said tonight that
fifty Of the sixty-eight delegates FOR the
State would vote to re-elect him national
committeeman. Jerry Black and James
Z. Kerr are 10 wage war against Guffey
in the delegation. Bryan has demanded
that ten delegates to this convention from
! Philadelphia shall be unseated, on the
ground that they were elected as instruct
cd Bryan delegates, but had broken their
! instructions and Bryan always refers to
| them as outlaws"
Two Fights on Credentials.
The two great fights. therefore. before
the credentials committee will be between
| Murphy and McCarren. Of New York. and
! between Guffey and the Bryanites Of the
| Keystone State. There IS n difference
however, for the reason that Bryan has
no bitterness against Murphy. while he Is
stoutly opposed to Guffey. Col. Guffey
has had some plain talks with Bryan
very plain talks indeed. wherein Guffev
told Bryan that he could not be elected
If nominated.
1t is now quite apparent that Bryan's
nomination is not to be opposed, except
by the friends Of Gov. Johnson and those
Of Judge Gray. Judge Gray's friends.
however. are not in an antagonlstic mood
to Bryan The candidate has not given
them permission 20 use his name. and
they are going il on their own hook. and
/ TO a certain extent this Is an embarrass-
ing position TO all. and one certainly not
contributory to political strength.

TO combat tho physical valuation OF rail-
roads in all cases since the adoption OF
the Sherman law: that is. the New York
ers are not opposed to the physical valu-
alton Of railroads before the sherman
law went into operation. but they are
opposed 10 the physical valuation of
railroads since that law has been in
force.
Senator McCarren Is to go before the
committee on credentials and make his
fight 20 seat the twelve Kings County
delegates to this convention. which were
thrown out by the action Of the Demo-
cratic State convention at Carnegie Hall
in New York. The Tammanyites are very
nervous over the matter II means much
20 them. They are to put Cohalan on
the committee on credentials. and al
ready they have started out 20 influence
prospective members Of the committee.
Bryan is said to be very much opposed
to McCarreR but a number Of Bryan's
friends here do not believe that good
can come 10 the Democrats OF the EN-
pire State by turning out McCarren's
men. The proposed nomination OF Jus
tice Gaynor indicates that Bryan expects
Gaynor and his friends 10 do everything
possible TO carry New York state.
Looks Bad for McCarren.
1t Is impossible at this moment TO give
even a prophecy Of what the committee
on credentials will do. and yet the draft
is against McCarren and his men II is
believed by many here that the Kew
Workers see the utter futility Of opposing
Bryan's nomination. and that the delega-
ton on Monday viii declare for Bryan
and Gaynor. Judge Gray's name. how
ever. will be presented 10 the convention.

already said. all the indications point to
the nomination Of Justice Gaynor.
Bird s. COlcr has wandered about all
day, promising a boom for Daniel J.
Campau. Of Michigan. for national chair
man, TO succeed Tom" Taggart. Coler
forgets. however. that Campau has just
been beaten for national committeeman
in his own State Campau held the place
for many years. AS a matter Of fact.
Bryan wants Mayor Tom /. Johnson. Of
Cleveland. for chairman Of the national
committee.

Who you that name. with the ring of the same,
And the honor and fame so becoming 10 your
Your stripes stroked IN rippes of white and red.
