SOCIALIST PARTY HOLDS
DEBS is UNDESIRABLE
Proposal to IndorSe Candidate
fer President Causes Up-
roar in Convention

NEW YORK, July 2.-The name OF
Eugene V. Debs, candidate for presf-
dent on the socialist party ticket, was
presented for Endorsement unexpectedly
today at the convention of the socialist
labor party here.
Debs was practically read out of the
socialist labor party at Chicago gath
ering of the organization some time ago
and the presentation of his name threw
the convention into an uproar and until
the meeting was adjourned for the day
he was the subject of stormy discus
sion. A man and woman, members OF
the socialist party. unity league, offered
his name for Endorsement.
When the delegates had recovered
from the shock an effort was made tC
have the question go over. but Daniel
D. de Leon. the chairman. demand ed
that the question be settled once for
all. A long discussion ensued, nearly
every one of the 23 delegates taking
occasion to explain why he was not in
favor of Debs.
The motion finally passed was to the
effect that the suggestion of the social
ist party unity league could not be
adopted and that the convention will
send the league reply explaining why
Debs is not desirable.

BURTON MAY RUN
AGAINST FORAKER
Strong Opposition May Force
the Ohio Senator Into
Private Life
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, July "A fact which
may foretell the political fall of Sena-
tor Foraker of Ohio is that Representa-
tive Burton of the same state has gone
to Hot Springs. Va, where he will re-
main for the next two weeks to be In
daily conference with William H. Taft
regarding the situation In Ohio. Fora
ker made a speech yesterday in Cincin-
natl, in which he referred to the fact
that plans were being made to "ellmi-
nate" him.
While 1t is not thought that Taft
cherishes any animosity against Fora
ker, it seems that the fight on Foraker
in Ohio has reached such stage as TO
make it necessary for the Taft people
to take notice of 1t. If the decision is
reached to go after Foraker's scalp, 1t
is more than probable that Burton Will
be the man selected as the candidate TO
oppose him.
Foraker's term in the senate will ex-
pire on March 3, 1909, and the Ohio leg
islature elected this fall viii decide
whether he will succeed himself or be
succeeded by another man. Taft Will
go to Hot Springs tomorrow.
Two conferences of Importance were
held by William H. Taft today, the
first with Speaker Cannon and the sec
ond with Secretary of the Treasury
George B. Cortelyou. Nothing much
concerning either conference was dis
closed.
In the afternoon Taft went to the
treasury department and had an hours
talk with Secretary Cortelyou. The
interview covered a wide range of po-
litlca1 topics. Secretary Cortelyol
took occasion to urge the selection OF
Frank H. Hitchcock as national re-
publican chairman.

tion to notify Taft of his nomination

SELECTION OF CHAIRMAN

for democratic success.
SELECTION OF CHAIRMAN
To several callers at Lincoln within
the last two. days Bryan said he did
not care a snap of his fingers who
might be the chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee He believed
he would win or lose on his own per-
sonality and while of course he realized
the necessity of a national committee
and the collection of funds he did not
personally feel interested in the chair
manship. 1t is intimated, however.
that Gilbert Hitchcock of Omaha may
be selected for the place. He is a
close friend of Bryan.
1t has been the custom of the demo-
crate as well as the republican party to
permit the candidate to select his own
chairman. If Bryan continues to keep
hands off the conservatives will take a
sudden interest in the situation because
they are always looking to the future.
They would be glad to organize the
national committee in their own way
with entire loyalty to Bryan, but with
special reference to. the next campaign.
They want to hold the party together,
so in 1912 they can 'give Taft a run
for his money for a second term.
Bryan insists that there be in the
Denver platform a distinct plank de-
claring IN favor of publicity in cam
paign expenses. Such plank would
make il extremely difficult for the COM
mittee to secure campaign contribu-
tions anywhere, because when all is
said and done the average man does not
care to have his partisan contributions
made public. Bryan is insistent on this
point, however, and the plank will go
into the platform. Funds will be pro-
portionately short during the campaign
and this is one of the reasons why SO
many prominent democrats are unwill-
ing to accept the position as chairman
of the national committee
