Fearing War With
Japan

Denver, Col. July Immediately
after being called to order at $50
O'clock, the platform committee of
the Democratic national convention
proceeded to carry out the wishes of
Mr.. Bryan by electing Gov. N. Has
kel Of Oklahoma, permanent chair
man. The committee then decided
to entrust the details of the prepar-
alton of the platform to a sub-com-
mittee of seventeen members to be
appointed by the chair; but before
these appointments were announced
the full committee listened to argu-
ments in support of various planks
which will be offered for adoption.
The first hearing was on the sub
Hject of inland waterways and on this
subject arguments were made by
Con gresham Ransdell of Louisiana,
president of the recent national riv-
ers and harbors congress; Hon. H. T.
Clarke Of Omaha, and Governor Bro
ward Of Florida. Mr.. Broward took
the position that liberal pronounce
ment in favor of improvement Of
water courses of interior would prove
the means of obtaining many votes
in such states as New York, Illinois,
and Ohio, and therefore urged the
proposition as a matter Of practical
politics.
Mr.. Clarke asked for approval of
plan for improvement of water
ways which contemplates the issue
of $500, 100000 in bonds for that pur-
pose. ~ ..-, .
Mr.. Ransdell commended that as the
government controls the rivers and
lakes 1t should improve them, and
he asked for an Endorsement of a
plan looking to much more liberal
appropriations of money than is now
made5in their interest. He said that
the cost of transportation on the
Great Lakes is only one-tenth of the
cost of transportation by rail.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, con-
gresham from Alabama, presented
plea for the increase of the navy,
and, in doing so declared that this
country is in immenent danger Of
war with Japan. He predicted that
this war would take place during
the next presidential administration,
and believing that the Democratic
party would be in power. he said that

Denver, Col, July THE posibil-
ity Of revolt by delegates not in sym
pathy with Bryan control of the Dem
ocratic national convention and
against the parliamentary practices
employed by officers Of the conven-
tion today in sending the Pennsyl-
vania controversy to the committee
on credentials is the one hope left
to the allied opposition to Mr..
Bryan's nomination. a.
This opposition is proceeding on
the belief that the committee on Gre
dentials will report against the con-
tested delegates from Philadelphia
in favor of the election of Col. J. M.
Guffey for national committeeman,
In which event a minority report
will be made. The first test of anti
Bryan strength therefore, will occur
over the adoption of the report Of
the committee on credentials and 1t
promises to be the bitterest Of the
convention. Should it be decided
against the Bryan men, some of
whom have announced purpose to
railroad" the Pennsylvania leader
out Of the party in accordance with
the expressed wish Of the Nebraska
candidate, unquestionably it will en-
courage the opposition to Bryan to
renewed efforts to defeat him for
nomination. No sooner had the con-
vention adjourned today than the
Bryan men began to gather to dis
cuss the situation.
After several informal conferences
the consensus of opinion was that
the Guffey-Bryan fight furnished an
issue on which the antiBryan men
could take their stand and supplied
rallying ground that has been need
ed in order to concentrate their
forces. Nj sftt
It was asserted by the anti-Bryan
men tonight that the refusal Of Tenn
porary Chairman Bell to recognize
the demand of the Guffey men for a
roll call on the question Of sending
the Pennsylvania case to the creden-
tials committee has brought them
many recruits, and that these, added
to the force that has been against
Bryan on other points. promises vic
tory for Col. Guffey tomorrow. On
the other hand, the Bryan men claim

If it did not make proper prepare
tions7 by additions to the navy the
party would be ground to powder.
He declared that Japan is covetous
not only of the Philippines, but of
Hawaii, and our Pacific coast coun-
try. Regarding Japan as great
fighting machine, he said that it was
absolutely necessary that proper pro-
vision should be made to guard our
interests against that power. Mr..
Hobson said that he based his state
ments upon inside information.
After recess of two hours for
dinner, the committee resumed its
hearings, taking up the labor ques-
ton Samuel Gompers, president of
the Federation of Labor, John Mitch
ell and oaher labor leaders were
present.
They presented for consideration
of the committee suggestions which
were rendered to the resolutions COM
mittee of the Chicago convention,
and asked that they be incorporated
in the platform.
George F. Williams called Mr..
Gompers' attention to the absence in
the planks he had submitted of any
reference to notice" in connection
with the issuance of temporary in

that he had argued against any use
