lieve that they shall control the platform making
in a convention to be composed of the friends of
Roosevelt and Taft
1t is rather a curious tribute to the force Of
Roosevelt leader for the ''reactonares' to ac-
knowledge that the President will name the man.
The truth is that the people, the delegates to the
Chicago convention, who represent the Republi-
cans of the country, will name the man.. Strong
as he is personally, if the policies advocated by
the President were not believed to be honest and
for the welfare of the country, person whom he
favored would stand no chance of the nomination
The strength of the President is the strength he
derives from the people, and it is the people
speaking through him that make his ideas power
ful. That is all
The threat of the "reactonaries" to make a
fight over the platform is met by counter threat
in Washington that if by underhanded means the
"reactionaries" attempt to cripple the Taft candi
dacy with an anti-Roosevelt platform, the dele
gates will be swung in line for the President him
self Altogether the 'reactionaries" are in deli
cate situation.

rwo-rH1RDs RULE AT DENVER.

II HERE is some talk that if they find at Den
i yer that BRYAN has not two-thirds OF the
delegates his supporters will attempt TO change
the rules of the party and nominate MN Dy
majority vote. 1t is hardly probable that such
course would be attempted Bryan has declared
that if he is to be nominated it must be as result
of preponderating sentiment in the party call
ing for his nomination. .
In fact BRYAN went to Europe, he says, so that
he could tear himself away from politics Tor the
time being He wanted the Democrats OF the
country free TO do their own thinking without
When he cane back he found that the opposi-
ton to him had not strongly urged any prominent
Democrat for the nomination.
Therefore Bryan assumed that he was wanted
again as leader of the party, and he did not turn
deaf ear to the call. AT that time about the only
agitation against the nomination of Bryan was a
sentiment expressed by Colonel Watterson OF
Kentucky, in favor7ef nominating Governor John
son, of Minnesota. Watterson picked Johnson as
the dark horse
In view of this situation it is unlikely that
BRYAN would approve of any scheme to change
the custom in regard to the two-thrds rule under
which nominations at the convention are made
If BRYAN and his friends desired to control the
convention by resorting to unfair methods they
might be able to do so without changing the two
thirds custom. Bryan it is conceded will have
majority of the delegates
With a majority behind him, the Bryan men
could control the machinery OF the cOnNenuon
and by means of the credentials committee ana
contestng delegates, throw out a number of
regularly elected delegates and seat their own
men. Such a procedure however, would react
against the strength of Bryan in the campaign.
His followers could not afford to give his oppon-
ents any excuse for boiling.
There are, however intimations that some of
the delegates may be rejected. Bryan has
serted that corrupt means are being employed to
prevent the election OF some delegates favorable
to him.
Should Bryan attempt TO control by the creden-
tials committee, he would have precedent for so
doing-but it is unwse precedent. Hill and
his followers added TO their strength at the con-
vention which nominated Judge Parker for presi-
dent by ousting delegates opposed to Parker and
seating those who were favorable to Parker The
latter was really nominated by a majority of the
convention although the two-thirds vote was
cured for him by displacng some of the chosen
delegates.
Likewise Hearst was nominated for governor
of New York by the some tactics. Bryan, there
FORE could adopt such course, but he is not
likely to do so-that IS unless he wants to
squelch his own campaign before it has fairly
started.

. WORKING FOR THE OLD SCALE.

W + HEAR that certain influential members
w of the Board of Trade are exerting them
selves in behalf of the trolley employees of this
city IN effort to secure the restoration of the
former scale of wages. AS we understand it, the
board, as a board has taken official action,
probably because it does not desire at this time
to stir up matters. However, we believe that
some members of the board are quietly working
to bring about the old scale. 1t is we'll that they
should do so.
The sentiment in this city has been so strongly
against any prospect of violence that the merits
of the trolley mems case have been obscured
Most people here thoroughly believe that the
scale of wages should be restored.
Even under their old scale the trolley men, and
in fact the other employees of the City Railway
Company from the superintendent down, would
not become bow-legged because of the weight of
the receipts of their toll which they carry home.
But unless some persons like the Board of Trade
make their views known to Mr.. Rigg he may
think that the people here approve of the reduc-
ton of the wages of his employees.
The company acknowledged the ustness of
the mems desire for the old scale and have given
as an excuse that the wages will be increased
when the company "can afford the increase" "
The Board of Trade men could keep this promise
dangling before the eyes of the railway officials.
