Republican Senator Tired of
 Roosevelt Despotism.

Denver, Colo, July 5.--The access sion of former United States Senator j. R. Burton of Kansas .o the ranks of the democratic party at least for the next campaign, was announced to-day. Mir. Burton came in with the Kansas delegation and while not a delegate, mingled freely with the democrats of that state. He lost no time in making his intention of sup porting the nominee of the Denver convention.
 "1 won't he said, support Taft. for the reason that his nomination was secured through the use of pa tronago, and 1 regard tho use of patronage as the most corrupting. The supreme question is shall we have q democracy or a despotism. Roosevelt has made more progress for auto cracy in thit country than all the oth- CT presidents We have ever had and less for democracy. He has given us a political trust that Is a thous- and times more dangerous than all the commercial trusts"

 In spite of reports to the contrary, the special committee will report unan- imously in favor of the Jewell street site. There has been no three to two split in the committee as has been printed and there will be no minority report.

JAPANESE PARTY SPLITS
Question of Cabinets Resignation
 Causes Internal Strife.

Toklo, July 5.--The elder states men have been summoned to meet July [, when the political situation, growing out of the resignation of the cabinet will be considered. At a meeting of the leaders of the Seiyuki party to-day, a serious split developel, but 1t is not considered serious enough to prevent Marquis Saionji from de- llvering sufficient votes to guarantee majority for Marquis Katsura as premier of the new cabinet to be formed.
 danger in the situation appears to be that the illness of Marquis Salon jl may make 1t possible for the leader ship of another who will be unable to control majority.
 The situation has developed an in- terestng struggle between the Yama- gata faction and Prince Ito, who strongly favors the Seiyuk party. In the meanwhile Count Admiral Yama- gata and Baron Terauchi, the latter q strong Seiyulli party man, have not given up the hope that the failure of Marquis Katsura to command a ma- jority means the success of Terauchi because of his strength among the Seiyuka party.

JAIL-BIRD IS PUT UP FOR PRESIDENT Socialist Labor Party Nomi- mates Man Serving 25
 Years in Prison for
 Shooting.
IS BELOW THE AGE LIMIT
But Convention Orator Urges the People to Defy Constitution and Elect It's Candi-
 date.

New York, July 5.-Can1idates for United States were nominated and a platform was adopted by the national convention of the Socialist Labor par ty here to-day. The ticket named is
 For president-Martin R. Preston of Nevada.
 For vice president-Donald Munro of Virginia.
 The nomination of Preston for pres ident was unanimous and the an nouncement of the result was received by delegates and audience with wild applause. The candidate was placed in nomination by Daniel DeLeon, who characterized the man he was naming as "an honest workingman, not professional working man, and added.
 The name of that man is Martin R. Preston, and he is now in jail at Goldheld, Nevada Preston is in jail to-day for conduct that is honorable and which no workingman should be ashamed of.
 Mir DeLeon later explained that Preston had been sentenced to twen- ty-five years Imprisonment in Nevada for shooting a restaurant keeper in Goldneeld three years ago during q strike in which Preston, De Leon as- serted, had acted as the protector of defenseless girls and by so doing had enraged a restaurant keeper named Silver Silver, Mir. DeLeon added, was shot by Preston while threatening to kill the latter. Mr DeLeon said he knew that Preston had not reached the age which the constitution says a | president of the United States must be. but he declared that made no diff ference. Tt Is for the working class to elect Preston. he said, and if he lis elected he will be seated. Const- tutlons are for the people and not the people for the constitutions"
 A telegram was sent to Preston not 1 flying him of his nomination Vica- presidential candidate Munro was likewise notified and Is expected to be present to take part in the meeting for the ratification of the ticket to be held in Cooper Union here tomorrow night.
 The platform is identical with the one adopted by the party four years ago and declares for the substitution of the cooperative commonwealth for the present state of planless pro- duction, industrial war and social dis oider'
 After empowering the national ex- ecutive committee to fill vacancies on tho ticket, should any occur. the con vention adjourned sine die.
