Anti-Injunction Plank.
The anti-injunctionS plank continues
to provoke large amount of discuss
sion among such party leaders as have
already arrived for the convention.
Though opinions differ as to the exaa6
nature of the plank which should bs +
adopted ,all are Of one mind in saw
ing that 1t shall be definite and spe-
.cific statement. Such members OF the
national committee as have discussed
the matter are a unit in saying that
the wording OF the anti-injunctton
plank shall leave no possible doubt in
the mind of any reader as to where tho
party stands on this question.
It Is now generally believed. how
ever. that the anti-injunction resolu-
ton will not provide for trial by Jury
In cases of contempt Of court, or favor
in any way measures which may ba
construed as interfering with the pre-
rogative Of the Federal courts.
The friends of Mr. Bryan say that
those fcritics who are already express
Ing fear OF radical anti-injunction
plank are fighting the air The splanK
has not yet been written; 1t has not
even been drafted, and It's form is stiil
"a matter which Is under deep and care
full consideration. It is said to be the
desire of Mr. Bryan to consult as many
of the prominent members OF the party
as is possible before any decisive ac-a
ton in formulating this resolution Is
taken.
Vicc-Presidential Situation.
The vice e-presidential situation re-
mains, to all appearances, Just whers
It was yesterday, al Though the boom
of Lieutenant-Governor Chanler, OF
New York, seems to have weakened
somewhat, and his name is not mem
toned as prominently as it was two
days ago.
This is largely due to the announces
ment made by Norman e. Mack, ma
.tional committeeman from New York.
that he has no authority to speak for
Mr.. Chanler, and that his interest In
the movement was dictated by a sim
cere belief that the New York official
isswell equipped for the Office. Spon-
sors for the ce-presidential booms, los
Gated outside OF New York State. claim
to be generally encouraged by the fact
that New York's support Is. likely ito
be divided among five men who have
been mentioned as asptrants to the
vice presidential nomination..
Only one new name was mentioned
to-day as q vice-presidential possibiI-
ity. This was Governor George 3.
Chamberlain, OF Oregon. He is in
much favor with some OF the party
leaders. and 1t is said that heswill be-
personally acceptable to Mr. Bryan It
the latter is nominated. ,5;sAS
