4 Uf John y. Terry, the national commit
tAeinan from that State.
Mr.. Heifner announced emphaticnlly
that tho Pacific coast, and pnrticr-
Inriy the state OF Washington, was
opposed 70 the adoption of such
plank as WAS presented at Chicago by
Samuel Gompers and other officials OF
tho American Federation OF Labor
."The adoption by our party Of such.
Il plank" he declared, would be
transparent sop TO union labor which
would be repugnant to voters in all
Bections or the country. 1t would be q
promise that no law-maklng body
would be willing to fulfill. 1t could
not help but injnre the Democratic
ticket Mt the polls.'
Mr. Heifner believed that the vice.
presidency would go to the East, but
he was not ready to say how his dele.
cation Will vote.
The arrival Of Mr.. Heifner With his
statement OF the sentiment on the
y Pacific coast against the proposed anti
Injunction plank and the announce
B1,ient In the East that Martin w. Lit
tIeton Of New York, will come here to
make a fight against the insertion of
such u plank In the platform, easily
make the question the most important
Under discussion. New England is said
to be opposed to the; plank and New
Jersey ana Pennsylvania are also ac-
credited with pronounced antngonism
z Is suchsa resolution. If the New York
allegation and the Pacific coast dele
cations should take a determined stand
against 1t, the fight would assume for-
! niidable proportions. 1t is not believed
here that the opposition of Sullivan. OF
illinois. and Taggart, OF Indiana, means
that the entire delegation from these
States would oppose Mr.. Bryan's
wishes. Most Of the Central and West
srn and Southern States, 1t is said. Will
De lined up to support whatever pro-
gram the Nebraskan's friends present.
Question Of Tickets.
4 The question OF tickets continues to
divide the members Of the committee
on convention arrangements, and the
committee of Denver citizens. which Is
looking after the local end OF the con-
vention. AS Is usually the case, the
city people would like to secure n
greater number of tickets than the
Committee feels that 1t can spare
II The members of the committee spent
several hours to-day going through
the convention hall, but did not suc-
x coed in producing any greater seating
capacity.
~ Adequate accommodations for the
sessions for the committees on reso!u-
lions, credentials, permanent organiza-
ton and rules not having been pro-
rided for, in the new auditorium, ar
rangemeuts were made to-day to have
these committees meet In the building
of the Fraternal Union. That orga.hi-
cation to-day proffered the use of the
rooms to the committee on arrange
ments and the tender was accepted
haf To orf hn n
with the responsibility of letting con-
tracts for the establishment of hos
pital in the auditorium building for
emergency purposes.
Mr.. Taggart inspected the hospital In
the Chicago Coliseum Immediately af-
: ter the adjournment Of the Republican
s National Convention, and was greatly
pleased with the compile teness of the
establishment. The hospital here Will
be modelled after It.
