A Hot FIGHT
LOOKED FDR
A WARM TIME EXPECTED IN
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
SOME PLANKS WILL CAUSE
TROUBLE.

Denver, Colo, June 3O.-With the
arrival tomorrow of Alton B. Parker.
of New York, conservative of conser-
vatives, backed by the big eastern
contingent, the war on "radicalism"
in the democratic national conven-
ton will be on.
Every prospect points to an old
time democratic fight to finish and
the prospect seems to be pleasing to
leaders. The main battle will be
centered around the anti-injunction
plank. Parker, judge and a law
yer will oppose bitterly any step that
might be construed as an attack on
the courts
The conservatives plan to make a
hot. campaign all along the line ana
even talk of beating Bryan for the
nomination, which appears to be I'M
possible.
The managers of the campaign of
Judge Gray will open headquarters
tomorrow. He is a favorite of the
conservatives and they will rally
around his suite in the Savoy hotel
The main body of the supporters of
Governor Johnson is expected. to a
rive this evening.
The Bryan men are confident they
will be able to control the formation
of the platform and predict that it
will be the kind of platform that
Bryan desires.
Prohibition Question.
The fight over the anti-injunction
plank in the democratic platform is
not the only struggle in which the
committee on resolutions may posi-
bly, find itself. It developed today
, that the prohibition question is to
be brought forward and that des-
perate effort will be made to have a
plank declaring in its favor placed
| in the platform. General Weaver is
heading this movement. Opinion
differs as to the exact nature of the
plank which should be adopted, but
all are of one mind that something
! definite should be declared SO there
will not be left a possibility of a
/ doubt as to where the party stands.
Il Is not generally believed JhGt
/ the anti-iljunctioh piani will pro-
vide for trial by jury in cases of con-
tempt committed in the presence Of a
court. or favor in any way the pre-
negative OF federal courts. Bryan s
! friends say that those of his critics
who fear a radical plank are fighting
air
