Views.
/, a tentative suggestion against discrim-
ination on account Of race, but the 4
| Southern members OF the subcommittee
expressed the opinion that the dec1ara-f
ton of principles would be more ac-
ceptable In the Southern States lf there
attitude on this subject to the party's
| attitude on this subject. During the
| discussion some OF the members of the
committee suggested that there would
be no objection to having Mr.. Bryan
announce his own personal views on
l this subject in his letter OF acceptance
i in case he should nominated.
Parker and Pettigrcy..
Probably the nearest approach to FL
clash during the day was on the sub
Ject Of the courts, when Judge rarke.s
and Senator PettiErew expressed i,lg'
tsharp language diametricaily opposite
llopinions. Judge Parker presented ~
plank proc:atming the partvs conf
)dcrce In tie Federal courts, and In
Support of II he made ssron,s pln1l.l
tic had no sooner taken his seat thn,l
4 Senator Pettigrews took the floor in ops
IIos:tion to the plank. He said that.
as for niaiself, he had li.tic or no COM
Lcence IN the Federal courss, but ha
Vas willing to compromise by leaving
the subject entire,y untouched. and tho
subcommittee decided to follow this
Icourse.
A conclusion to ignore the question
of woman's suffrage was arrived at
early in the day.
The plank on Oriental Immigration,
(which received the approval of the
subcommittee, was offered by Mr.. lu-s
man, of Oregon. and was adopted as
i follows: q
"Oricntal lab0rcrs nre within our =
borders In vast and increasing NUNS
bcrs, particularly ON the Pacific coast.
They are being employed by the tens !
of thousands In every branch Of labor,
thereby reducing wages and deprivinE
our American citizens of the means nj (
earning n livelihood. We demand the
speedy enactment OF law that will
| prevent further immigration OF Orb
entail Inborcrs into these United Statcs.'
Bryan Presents Views.
William J. Bryan's Views as to what
| the platform should contain are fully
before the subcommittee. Governor
Haskell. OF Oklahoma. chairman OF the
resolutions committee and Of the SUBJ
committee spent more than an hour
Il
|reading to the group Of men who con-
istitute the subcommittee what Mr.
/ Bryan had written in the form OF
|planks and what he had telegraphed
/ to the Governor as suggestions for
planks, the particular phraseology OF Il
which is left to the committee should
lit be deemed wise to incorporate the n
suggestions.
Mr. Bryan.s views of the junction
n1n II hrs fra n mi f,H 70 n at
plank should begin with the statement
that the party resents any ATTEMPTED
reflection upon the judiciary of the
country; that not only are tho courts
/ themselves created by law, but their
Jurisdiction and authority are Defined
by law as we'll as their rules
Eof procedure The position OF the party
1885, 900 and 1904 is to be- Endorsed.
tho further provision made that In
contempt cases. the trial Is to be be
fore any judge other than the one q
lissulng writs, and most important. tho
lplank is to declare for the re-enact-Sa
ments Of tho Federal law requiring
notice to be given before such pre-
Ileminary injunctions shall issue, pres
i cisely as 1t existed prior to 1874. atr-
Bryan made subsequent suggestion
! for this plank to the effect that t.
might be we'll to provide that no ms
Junction or restraining order shall res
main In force for a period longer than
/ three days. and that the hearing OF
such order shall be before two JudE es.
Misuse of Patronage.
Mr.. Bryan also believes an expres-s
sion should be made to the effec 7 tia r.
circuit and district courts should He tEssS
have the power to suspend the rig &,

failed to give protection to the y 5, 900

belief is expressed that the needs at
