COLORADO FOR. BRYAN
PLATFORM PRESENTED AT THE
STATE CONVENTION TODAY.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Col. June 1G.-
The platform of the Colorado democratic
state convention was presented by former
Gov. Alvah Adams. 1t was in part as
follows:
Congress. whose recent adjournment
has been its only meritorious act. too hos
tile to the Presidents recommendations
to adopt them, and too cowardly to close
Its session without the pretense of legis-
lation. has deliberately postponed all
measures of permanent importance until
after the next election, after enacting a
so-called currency emergency law the op-
Grafton of which brings but small measure
of relief. while giving value to a line of
securities the basis of currency issue
A party whose shibboleth of Sound
money destroyed half the metallic money
of the nation cannot defend it's last assay
monetary legislation upon any other basis
than the gag rule of the Speaker and the
demand of the great financial centers Of
the country
The platform concludes:
Resolved, That in w. j. Bryan the
democracy of Colorado recognizes a true
patriot. wise, fearless and conservative
statesman and a thoroughly honest man.
In the White House or out Of 1t no ma
chine controls him, no boss dictates to
MIN. no special privilege interest can CO.
cree him. His independence, his ability,
his exalted patriotism, his stainless char
acter. appeal to the people of the nation.
therefore. we instruct the delegates
elected by this convention to cast their
votes. ten in number. for W. J. Bryan
ior PRESIDENT and to continue to SO cast
them while his name shall be before the

BONAPARTE IN THE SUITS
HEADS COUNSEL IN GOVERN
MENT CASE AT PHILADELPHIA.
Seeks to Restrain Coal Carrying
Roads From Transporting An
thracite Contrary to Rate Law.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16-With many
prominent lawyers representing the vari-
Gus interests In attendance. among them
Attorney General Bonaparte. argument
was begun before Judges Dallas. Buf1ng-
ton and Gray in the United States circuit
court in this city today in the proceedings
instituted by the government against
seven coal-carrying railroad companies
for an injunction to restrain them from
transporting anthracite coal in interstate
commerce from mines in which they are
interested financially.
The suits were instituted under the COM
modify clause Of the Hepburn act, and
the companies named as defendants are
the Pennsylvania. Reading. Lehigh VAL
ley, Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern. Central railroad Of New Jersey, Erie
and Delaware and HUDSON. The answers
filed by tie companies to the govern
ment's bill of complaint admit the allie
cations concerning their interest in the
mining and shipping of anthracite coal.
The defendants. however, contend that
the mining privilege was conferred by
state statutes, and are not within the
meaning OF the commodity clause. All
the defendants attack the constitutional
tty of the clause on the ground that II Is
confiscatory, class legislation. and that
it denies equal protection Of the law.
Besides the Attorney General the gov
ernment was represented by L. Allison
Wilmer and r. c. Spelling his special ae-
sistants. john G. johnson OF this city is
chief counsel for the defendants. Among
the Interested persons in court was Pres
ident Baer of the Reading company.
Mr.. johnson opened the proceedings oy
stating to the court that all the cases.
with the exception of that of the Phila-
delphia and Reading would be argued to-
day. He understood, he said, that owing
to difference in the aspect of the case
of the Reading the government was not
ready today to proceed with that case.
After the court had assented to the ar
rangement Mr.. Wilmer opened the argu-
ment on behalf of the government. He
will be followed by NJ. Spelling, and after
the other side has presented its argu-
ment Attorney General Bonaparte will
close for the government.

The White House and the
Platform.

Secretary Loeb gave out a
statement at the White House
today as follows:
THAT which purports to
be the so-called 'administra-
ton platform telegraphed
from Chicago and published
this morning is a mere tenta-
tive draft prepared by. one of
the members OF the resolu-
tons committee for submis-
sion to Mr.. Taft, with a view
of securing his views upon
certain of the planks. A large
part OF. this purported plat
form was never seen by the
President at all, and a number
of the p1anks contained in the
remainder were subjected to
amendment, verbal and sub
stantial. This and other drafts
were tentative merely for the
information of certain men,
bers of the resolutions COM
mittee who were seeking the
views of various prominent
republicans. Neither the
President nor Mr.. Taft did
commit himself nor was asked
to commit himself to any par
ticular form of platform, but
various drafts of proposed
planks were laid before both"

The Admin istra ton and the
Vice Presidency.

This statement was issued
from an authoritative source
this morning:
'An exchange of tele-
grams overnight between
Washington and Chicago in
dicates that there will be 10
developments SO far as the
administration is concerned in
the matter of the selection of
a candidate for Vice President
until after the platform shall
have been disposed of and a
nominee for the presidency
shall have been named"
It is understood that the
above statement was issued
with the distinct purpose of
avoiding Va complication of
the vice presidency with that
OF the presidential nomina-
ton, the result of which might
be to diminish Secretary
Taft's strength by creating
enmities among the friends OF
those candidates for the vice
presidential nomination who
are shown to have either
failed to receive his support
or encourage his actual oppo-
sition.
Reflection overnight has
only strengthened the deter
rnination of the War Secre-
tary to insist upon the inclu-
sion in the republican party
platform of the anti-injunc-
ton plank OH the lines OF that
telegraphed from Chicago
last night. Therefore a long
telegram went forward from
the War Department today to
Frank H. Hitchcock, Secre-
tary Taft's Chicago manager,
instructing him to insist upon
the anti-lnJunction plank.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Unexpected Opposition From West

in Selection Of W. r. Jackson.
Special From a stan Correspondent.

Special From Stan Correspondent.
CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
June 16.-Representative Sydney e. Mudd
| of the fifth Maryland district was de-
| feated for national committeeman from
Maryland last night through the efforts
| of Sergeant-at-arms William F. Stone
and Representative George E. Pearre.
| William P. Jackson, son of Representa-
| tive William p. Jackson of the Eastern
Shore, was unanimously elected. Mr..
Mudd is about the maddest man in Chi
cago today, and is thinking seriously of
issuing statement. If he does, he says
it will be a hummer from the high grass.
Although it has been known for several
| months that Messrs. Stone and Pearre
would oppose Mr.. Mudd, it was expected
that Mudd would easily be elected, as
he is recognized as republican state
leader and was supported by Chairman
Thomas Parran of the state central COM
mittee and Collector of Internal Revenue
iGoldsborough, one Of Mr.. Jackson's closest
| friends
But it developed that unexpected oppo-
sitior arose against Mr. Mudd from the
western Maryland delegates, and as soon
as this was learned by Stone and Pearre
| they devised a plan to beat Mr.. Mudd
| by offering their support to young Jack
son. who has always been known
Mudd man. AS this is his debut in poll
| tics. Jackson, who is truly ambitious for
public office. readily became candidate.
and the delegates from the Eastern Shore
| Incl up behind him. despite the wishes
Of Messrs. Mudd and Goldsborqugh.
Mudd's Name Not Presented.
Realizing that he could not be elected,
M. Mudd did not allow his friends TO
place his name in nomination. In order
not to humilitate Mr.. Mudd he was elect
ed chairman of the delegation. which is
| said to be purely an empty honor
| For the past few years Mr.. Mudd has
controlled republican conventions and
| politics in Maryland without consulting
| Messrs. Pearre and Stone. The Jackson
| forces have always supported him and his
| candidates, but future developments will
| be watched with cOnsderab BILE interest.
| Should Mr. Stone form a new combina-
ton with MI Jackson and his father it is
thought that he would be recognized as
| the state leader.
his friends that at the last state conven-
| ton he had been promised the national
| committeeship, provided that he would
| support Mr.. Stones delegates. This
| he said he did. and declared that the
sergeant-at-arms had broken faith with
| him Messrs. Parran and GOldsborough
! said that they were present when the
promise was made.
Other Maryland Selections.
| Besides selecting Messrs. Jackson and
Mudd. the Maryland delegates selected
| the following officers on permanent Or
ganization:
| Rules and regulations, Mr.. William y.

Convention Called to Order.

The tap of Chairman Harry News gavel
fell at 12:1S o'clock. but it was some little
time before the desired quiet in the hall
was secured. Part of the delay was due
to the timely arrival of delayed portion
of the Ohio delegation, bearing a big blue
sa tin banner with picture Of Secretary
Taft Autographed in colors upon 1t. This
was cheered for time and then the band
struck up Hail to the Chief. The DEM
onstration was not sustained one.
Charles P. Taft was one of the Ohio
contingent, and, with former Gov. Herrick.
had front seat near the center aisle. Just
across from them was the Indiana dele
CATION, with Senator Hemenway in the
aisle. Thus the Taft and Fairbanks booms
were brought into close proximity.
The Taft banner was not allowed to re-
main in the hall. and was taken unosten-
tatiously to one of the side rooms.
Chairman News first utterance was:

and equipped with flying rings, trapeze,
Indian clubs, dumbDells, punching bags,
heavH sand bags medicine ball and
several pairs of boxing gloves.
The floor is marked out for indoor
baseball.

a padded canvas floor. Inside the ropes
the members of the club get together
and go at it nightly with the stuffed
mitts.
For those whose tastes do not incline
toward athletics, tables are provided
for cards, checkers and other games.
Membership in the club costs only
a dollar month, and the institution
is doing good work along the line of
healthy exercise among the young men
of the district.
1t is the only club of its nature in
Honolulu today.
