THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COM
MlTTEE.

We are in receipt OF a communica-
tion from the wandering Minnesota
Democratic Committee. at present To-
Gated In Chicago. ILL.,, urging us as
Democrats TO aid In making the Den
yer convention deliberativc Democrat
ic body.
We have usually found it possible to
aid In our way Democratic commit
tees of the State Of Minnesota. We
did aid the present Democratic Com
lnittee in the work which it was Sc -.
lected and authorized to perform, the
election Of a Democratic state ticket in
Minnesota two years ago. We do not
recognize the authority of the Minne-
sofa Democratic Committee in its
present. self-assumed national work.
1t was not selected by tho Minnesota
Democrats to do any such work. It
has no authority from the party. 1t
would not even have authority to car

ticket. any more than the present Ma
tional Democratic Committee has a
right to carry on campaign as a
committee in favor Of any candidate
for president. We understand that the
Minnesota member of the Democratic
National Committee is engaged in do
ing what he can in direct opposition
to the Minnesota State Committee.
The Democratic voters of Minnesota
are not bound by the actions of either.
We are interested only to the extent
that the Democratic convention at Den
YER shall represent tho sentiment Of
the Democratic voters of the United
States. The voters arc the ones to de-
liberate. not the delegates in conven-
tions. We want. so far as we are able,
to have the Democratic convention

The result of the voting on the 10

nois resulted in the abolition of about
fifteen hundred saloons. The cam
paign was an exceedingly spirited one
IN many OF the towns women served
refreshments during election day and
sang hymns. Their methods did not
IN all cases meet with success, for in
the cities of Springfield and Blooming

made by women, the saloons won.

Denver to oppose the nomination Of
Mr.. Bryan, they should do so deliber-
ately and instruct the delegates to
carry out the results of their delibera.
tions.
What is the program Of the Mime.
sofa Democratic Committee, with
headquarters at Chicago, ILL.,? 1t il
found in these words: Don't forget
that there is still time to see that
enough delegates are elected to the
Denver Convention to make that a de-
Lucrative Democratic body" What Ia
meant by enough delegates?'' II
means enough delegates to prevent the
nomination of the man who. 1t is con-
ceded. will have a large majority OF
the delegates. Was there ever a more
proposed? On what ground could we
justify ourselves, even if We were op-
posed to the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan.
in taking a position with small mi
nority of the party to prevent the ex-
pressed wish OF the great majority.
Was ever candidacy based on a more
peurle and bootless program than is
the present campaign against the NOM
ination of Mr.. Bryan? And that is
just exactly what it is. 1t is not a
campaign in favor of anybody. No one
claims that any one man will have
even the small minority, but the whole
plan is to get enough delegates to pre-
vent Mr.. Bryan from getting two.
thirds.
Never but once in the history of the
Democratic party has a candidate had
a majority of the delegates at the
National Convention and failed to get
the necessary thirds to nominate
him, and that one time was in 1867
and it resulted in the Civil War. Do
the far-seeing politicians, who are di-
recting the opposition to Mr.. Bryan,
believe that they can sit in the con-
vention at Denver and justify them
selves before the people, in refusing
to nominate the man who they even
now concedc will have large major
ity of the delegates? Does the Min.
nesota Democratic Committee. which
has gone beyond it's own jurisdiction
to evangelize the country. think that
they can inaugurate plan which has
never before worked in a Democratic
Convention? In 1876 Tilden had 4O3
votes on the first ballot, while it took
492 to nominate him. On the next ball
lot he easily received the two thirds.
In 1854 Cleveland had 392 on the first
ballot. while it took SAT to nominate
him. He got $50 on the second. In
1896 no .nc had majority on the
first ballot. In 1904 Parker had only
65S on the first ballot, while it took
667 to nominate him, but enough votes
Immediately changed to make second
ballot unnecessary.
The program of the anti-Bryan men
seems to be about this: They hope that
Bryan will not have more than $50
votes, and they think this; means his
defeat. They have a great deal more
courage now than they will have at
Denver, if any of them succeed in get
ting there. We are willing to aid in
making this campaign IL delibcrative
one. but we want the voters to do the
deliberating.

covR,ER.JouRNAL ON BRYAN

Henry Watterson IN the Courier
Journal cannot be accused Of being
hypnotized by Bryan. Mr.. Watterson
does not hold any public office. and
does not seek any. He owns the Cour-
and it is, we are quite
sure, on paying basis. He has over
and over again expressed his opposi-
tion to the politics and policies of Mr..
Bryan. His last editorial expression
upon Bryan was that he (Watterson)
would support him. much as he would
prefer to support some one else; that
ne was sure that Mv. Bryan would be
nominated, and that he believed that
he would be elected In view Of >hc
situation, perhaps the following from
the Courier-Journal is at least ae
trustworthy as the news items to be
found from day to day in Republican
newspapers.
Notwithstanding the daily attacks
OF the Eastern press upon the candi-
dacy of Mr.. w. ]. Bryan, and the es-
tablishment of the Governor John A
Johnson bureau in Chicago. and Judge
george Gray bureau in Washington,
the readers of the Courier journal can
rest assured that Mr.. Bryan will be
nominated at Denver next July on the
first ballot. Those opposed to Mr.,
Bryan, who are figuring OH securing
one-thlrd of the. men Of the convention
against him. should remember that nj
candidate for the nomination has ever
oeen beaten, after he secured a ma
Jorlty vote in the national convention.
Even the hardest sort of work and a
mastery organization of the opposi-
ton cannot defeat Mr.. Bryan. AL
ready he can set down 1855 delegates
favorable to him, all from states that
have endorsed him at a state conyen.
t,on. TO this is to be added total
of 5o2 delegates. which will be favor.
able to Bryan when elected, a. total of
657 delegates thus shown. These come
from Alabama. Arkansas, Colorado.
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana Iowa
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan,
Mississippi. Missouri. Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio. Oklahoma, South Da-
kota. Texas, Utah, Vermont. Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin
Wyoming. Arizona, District of Col
umbia, Hawaii Philippine Islands,
and New Mexico. On the other hand.
there is a column opposed to BRYAN
which foots up 207' delegates: Deleware
Minnesota. New Hampshire. New Jer-
sey' New York, PENNSYLVANIA and
Rhode Island. And there is another
kind Of states doubtful or uncommit-
ted. These furnish an unknown ouan-
tity of 144 delegates. Chances are five
10 one. however. that he will receive
two-thirds Of the doubtful vote coll
umn, if not more. All this talk and
eftort to defeat Bryan is waste of
money and energy

4 RUSSIAN RELIGION
 FOR HE PEASANTRl
The Johannites Have Been Compelled to Disband.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 16.-Father John of Kronstadt, after allowing him self to be looked upon by the ig- norant and fanatical among the Rus sian peasantry as a sort of Messiah, has at last been forced to denounce his idolaters.
 He was trapped in a monastery in Yaroslavl. Soon after his arrival d number of Johannites appeared in the district and told the peasantry that Father John was Christ re- turned to earth. This sect has done great harm during the past few years. In many cases they have per suaded ignorant peasants to send their daughters to their convent at KrOnstadt in order to worship Father John.
 In some instances girls have been kidnapped by them and revelations in the police courts showing the fate which befell some of these young women have amply justified the au- thOrities in placing the sect under the ban of the law.
 The union of the Russian people learned of the arrival of the Joaah mites, as the members of the sect are called, and a body of the Black Hundred went to the monastery to find out from Father John what pre- cisely were his relations with them. They arrived armed with revolvers and the monks were so alarmed at their formidable appearance that they sent for the police.
 The Johannites who were staying in the monastery fled to escape ar rest. Among them was a woman reverenced as the Virgin Mary and with her fled an individual who rep resents himself as the Archangel Michael
 Father John appears to have done nothing to discourage these people, although he could hardly be ignorant of the nature of their teaching and of their practices. The conference of orthodox bishops and clergy lately held at Kieff suggested that he should be asked to condemn his wor- shipers, and when the Black Hun dred point-blank requested him to state his position with regard to the sect, there was no course open to him but to mathematics it.
 He did so in dramatic fashion. Two of the Johannites failed to cs- cape and were arrested by the pO- lice. They were taken to the old priests room and he asked them, Whom do the Johannites think me to be-"
 Thou are the Christ, the Son of God" was the reply. And thou" rejoined Father John, "art blas- phemer; l curse thee and they bias, phemous teaching"
 He then signed the following dec laration, in the presence of witnesses: 'T deny having any relations with the sect of Johannites. By my priestly curse. curse this sect and its teach ing as Goddess"
