one-third Of the convention is un-
pledged, and we do not believe that
under such circumstances any nomina-
ton win be made Immediately. We
look for Governor johnson to make ri
excellent showing on he first ballot,
ana 10 steadily gain strength from
that time until he IL nominated, and
we do not expect that many ballots
viii be necessary.
The johnson headquarters Will be
formally opened tomorrow at the AL
bany hotel. and the convention work.
ers for the governor OF Minnesota
promise a hard fight from that time
until nomination has been made by the
convention,
Headquarters for Judge Gray In the
Savoy hotel were In fun swing today
under the detection of Josiah Marvel,
OF Wilmington, Del, and X. j. Beam
ish, of Philadelphia.
No definite time has yet been set for
the opening of the headquarters for
MIR. Bryan, which will be at the Brown
Palace hotel. There have been as yet
few arrivals of men influential in the
Bryan movement, the CHIEF direction
OF his affairs in Denver having been
SO far In the hands OF James G. Dahl
man, mayor OF Omaha.
Mr.. Monett. who arrived here today
declared himself In favor Of a strong
u%tterance on the subject OF inserting
an antt-injunction plank In the plat
form. He consulted with Mr.. Bryan at
Lincoln yesterday regarding the sub
jcct. Samuel Alschuer. who Is prob
ably & member OF the commltete on
resolutions from Illinois. declared to-
day that he did not believe that the
anti-injunction plank 10 be adopted in
the convention would be OF such "a
character that any controversy would
be provoked by it.
There has been talk OF a radical
plank in the platform" said Mr.. Al
schuer. rand all sorts Of meanings
have been grouped under .!.s, word
II altogether depends upon what is
means by the word radical | think
It Ii entirely safe TO say, although |
am now giving ms personal opinion
only. that any assumption that tho
anti-in1unction plank viii be an attack
the courts, is Incorrect. Un-
questlonably II viii favor jury trials
contempt. and due notice to all
concerned IN injunction pro-
ceedings. 1t can safely be stated also
the plank win be a clean cut, defi-
mite statement. and not a straddle,
such as the republican party has made.
1t Is entirely within bounds to say that
the injunction plank to be adopted by
democratic national convention
viii be no more advanced thar the
which have from time to time
hppu aynrpqQad he pragfdont DnoeavaIf
It is my opinion that we will be more
conservative than the president would
nave been II ne could have written tho
plank In the republican platform"
When asked about the vice presi-
sitution, Mr. Alschuer declared
nat In his opinion the great desirable
for any candidate was that
should be from Illinois. II that
did not present any name to the
convention. he was utterly at a loss to
PREDICT at his time who the Illinois
delegation will favor.
The state, he said. would stand for
Sryan 10 the finish, and there would
'c no break in It's vote at any time.
Roger c. sullivan. national commit
eeman from Illinois. tonight annouuc-
ii that his state might have a candi-
late for the vice presidency in John
fitehell. Mr.. Sullivan said that
litchell would not be declared a can
idatc unless he was willing TO make
he race for the nomination. If he is
iilling TO be a candidate he viii have
solid backing u Illinois. which
III make a strong nght for him. The
natter will be determined after
IitchelI's arrival on Monday.
