Evidences are multiplying that
practically the only difficult plank to
prepare for the Democratic platform
viii he on the nti-nunction issue

Bryan On Anti-injunction.
At this dinner Bryan stated clearly
that he realized there night arise sit
uations where the issuance of the in
junction without notice TO those en-.
Joined would be the Cnly remedy

possible for the subcommittee to
present to the full resolutions com
mlttee a perfected platform which a.
ready has received the approval of the
prospective candidate.

The tariff plank came in for consid-
erable discussion today, with the re
suit that this language was put for
ward tentatively as embodying the
position the party should take:
The Democratic party believes in
tariff for revenue only, but inasumch
as the expenses of the government are ,
great, and we are depending largely
upon imports for revenues for run
ming the government. which means
an imposition of tariff, we favor the
laying of tariff duties in such a man
ner that there shah be no discrim ma :
tion in behalf of any section of the ,
country or any industry" :
Nav Mot Adont This Form ,
No one would he quoted as saving !
that this plank would be adopted in ,
the form given. Another propc sed g
plank which it is said was written \

necessity of maintaining and even in !
