FAVORS PERIOD
OF PROBATION

AT the meeting of the NJ. p. Preachers
Association in Union Church this morning
the Rev. r. x. Stephenson, pastor of
Scott Church, expressed regret over the
new Methodist church law passed by Gen.
cral Conference abolishing the sixth
months probation period. He believed
that after it had been given trial II
would be qualified so as TO be broughr
back virtually TO the sixth months pro
haiion. He thought the probation period
most necessary as a means OF insurinG
that the character of Methodist Church
membership should be high.
Lieutenant-G Governor 1. T. Parker was
the speaker of the meeting his subject

Big fight OVER
The PLATFORM
Paul Morton in Chicago to
Aid Cannon in Anti
Injunction Battle
By unIiea Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
CHICAGO. June 15-"Uncle Joe"
Cannon is reinforced to-day in his figLt
against the anti-injunation feature Of
the proposed Republican platform, as
framed up by Wade Ellis, of Ohio, and
o. KID. by Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft. Paul Morton appeared on the
scene and talked about working up
sentiment not only against this plank.
but against anv movement that would
commit tie party to further attacks on
the railroad interests. The propositions
to declare for governmental sanction
for future issues Of stock and for eed-
eral license of corporations are par
ticularly repugnant to Morton and his
friends. If these items and the anti
Injunction plank that labor demands
are insisted upon by the engineers of
the steam roller there IS likely to be
a mighty interesting scrap before the
resolutions committee and possibly be-
fore the convention itself. Morton and
his friends will do their best to bring
about an understanding that will re-
suit in a compromise on what they be-
heve to be dangerous planks sug-
gested.
They are telling the delegates that
lust as much strength can be gained
by the voters ignoring these subjects
altogether and hiding The omission IN
extravagant phrases OF the brilliant
achievements of the Roosevelt regime.
Labor must. of course, be given a sop
TO keen it in line, but It is argued by
ka
complished by paying the toilers a
compliment or two. by pledging the
party to undyirg loyalty to the eight
hour day. and by declaring that the
bars which now keep out the Mongol,
ian coolies sholl never re lowered.
The executive council Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is still in ses-
sion at the Hotel Kaissrhof. and it is
quite likely that il will shortly make
an announcement on tho anti-injunc-
ton and antitrust planks. This Will
demand that the party declare squarely
for the enactment of a Jaw which will
allow the worRmen to organize and
fight their own battles with capital
without being liable to punishment for
contempt or prosecution as a Trust"
II the contention refuses to put these
planks in the platform the federation
leaders will declare war to the handle
and labors vote for the Democratic
ticket.
President Gompers saws he is not at
all disturbed over the fact that Speake;
Cannon has come post haste to Chi
cago for the express purpose of remov-
ing the anti-injunction board from the
platform. He processes to be confident
that the plank will go in any way and
Will be a good one.
Gompers denies the rumor that he
had a conference yesterday with Wade
Ellis.

TO TAKE PART IN THE

Hpeclal e THE EvENINa JounsvAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE. Del, June 15.-Anti-
license workers opened a lively cam
paign here yesterday, as Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist churches
threw open their pulpits to the tenn
perance orators. The congregations
were large and much interest was
manifested in the rallies.
The Rev. John NJ Arters, field secre-
tary of the Anti-Saloon League, made
an address at the morning service in the
PRESBYTERIAN Church. During the af-
ternoon an open-air meeting was held,
at which addresses were made by Will
liam II. Anderson, superintendent Of
the Anti Saloon League for Maryland
and Delaware, and by Caleb p. Burche-
nal. Mr.. Burchenal also spoke at the
service in the Methodist Church in the
morning.
The keynote Of all the addresses was
to the effect that the temperance peo-
pie should see that men favorable to
their side were nominated for office,
particularly for the offices of members
of the Legislature, governor and at
torney- general. It was pointed out
that not only is it desired to have a
resubmission of the question of license
or no-license in Wilmington and rural
New Castle county, but additional legis-
lation will be desired Of the Legisla-
tnrc. In this connection Mr.. Arters
said:
Let me give this note Of warning:
Scrutinize the candidates proposed for
governor and attorney-general, as well
as for representative positions in the
Legislature. These men hold in their
hands the processes Of the law. The
governor appoints the judges, the at
torney-general conducts prosecutions
We shall need both of them with us
this time, and so we ought to vote"
