BRYANs BROTHER HEARD FROM
Says That VIM. j. Will Be Nominated
on First Ballot.

Denver, July 4.-"William j. Bry-
an on the first ballot
This announcement was made to-
day by Charles w. Bryan, a brother
of the leading presidential candidate
on the Democratic ticket, simultan-
eously with the formal opening of the
Bryan headquarters In the Brown Pal
ace hotel today. Mr.. Bryan arrived
in the city from Lincoln this morning
and Immediately assumed charge of
his brothers interests. He soon made
it known that his original estimate of
SO7 votes on the first ballot for his
brother would stand.
@'These figures are based on tele-
grams and letters from instructed del
egates and those who are favorable to
my brother" said Mr. Bryan. II am
not counting on any of them breaking
away"
Soon after the headquarters were
opened they began to be the center of
interest among the party leaders and
delegates now here. Mr.. Bryan has
been indefatigable in connection with
his brothers candidacy. During the
past year he has handled over 400
900 letters and kilograms addressed to
his brother and for the past several
weeks has made all the arrangements
for the visits of the various delega-
tions and party leaders to Lincoln. 1t
is said of him that he met all incom-
ing trains and personally took charge
of every visitor having business with
his brother.
Another prominent Nebraskan to
arrive was Hon. Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock.
of Omaha. 1--WE do not bring the
platform with u.s. said Mr.. Hitch
cock. but we are satisfied the declar-
alton of principles will follow the lines
of the Nebraska resolutions"

all offenders punished without fear or
favor. -...
''On the one hand, he consistently
Sessity for revision of our tariff
laws which should strip away every
vestige of favor. remove every excuse
or reason for monopoly and destroy
every harbor in which privilege Is
wont to find shelter; while, on the
other hand, he enforced that economy
in expenditure which, he believed,
would eliminate the corruption from
an era of extortion and extravaganza
against which his whole career was a
protest.
He maintained credit and honor,
stood firm as a rock in defense or
sound principles of finance, and re-
sisted the dangerous economic designs
and practices left by the Republican
party as a heritage to our people.
Under his administration civil SER
vice reform was first redeemed from
the region of pretension and became
reality.
He took the Monroe doctrine out of
the realm of dreams and made 1t
thing of life and power which COM
mands universal respect.
HE SO insisted that official respon-
sibility was his bounden duty and the
inaiienable right of our people, That
his motto, "a public office is a public
life and is the fitting epitaph for his
monument.
He preserved simplicity of living
and character in a time when ostenta-
ton, both public and private, not only
seemed to be a necessity, but had been
raised to the rank of a virtue.
Represents Fundamental Principles.
Recognizing these commanding
achievements of the only Democratic
president inducted into office since
1857, proud that his life and career
have so strikingly illustrated the
fundamental principles of our party,
the possibilities of our social organiza-
ton and the strength of our republi-
can institutions, we hereby direct the
officers of this convention to transmit
by telegraph to Mrs. Cleveland, IN
Princeton, N J., this expression of our
sorrow and our pride.
1--WE further request the Democratic
members of the senate and the house
of representatives to take steps to in
sure the erection in Washington at the
earliest day possible of an adequate
national monument to commemorate
the services of Grover Cleveland.
at is still further resolved that in
respect for the memory of this great
man and Democrat this convention
shall imm ediately stand adjourned un-
til lie o'clock on Wednesday, July 8,
190S."

The stores were all closed by 10
O'Clock and the streets presented a
holiday appearance, thronged as they
were with pleasure seekers. The
weather during the morning was
much cooler than on any Fourth for
many years. Indeed, the absence of
a burning sun brought out a larger
number of people than usual to take
full advantage of all the pleasures of
the day. The street cars to the parks
were crowded all day long.
Enough powder was burned here in
Topeka today to have kept Washing
tons Continentals in ammunition
throughout an entire campaign. The
old fashioned firecracker was as much
in evidence this year as in the past in
spite Of the many new wrinkles in ex-
plosives and illumination devices.
Dealers in fireworks report a tremen-
dous sale in this line of goods for the
Fourth. II believe there were ten
thousand punches of firecrackers sold
here for the Fourth" said a large
dealer today. .I have sold fireworks
here for many years, but / never had
such rush OF customers before as I
have had all of this week. I sold out
nearly my entire stock
The big demand next to the hre-
crackers was for Roman candles. Mig
ger chasers, pin wheelz. torpedoes,
powder mines, repearers, explosive
matches and half dozen other novel
ties all sold more or less WELL

Deem July 4 Fitting Day to
Present Their Needs.
LABOR POORLY PAID.
Con ditiOn of Industry Is Not as
Bright as Desired.
Hopes the United States Will
Take Official Action.

Manila. July 4.-The following Pc
tition of the Philippines to the Amer
ican people was made public today:
To the American People:
On this auspicious day which COM
memorates the birth of your wonder
full republic 1872 years ago. we, the
people of the Philippine Islands send
you greetings and felicitate you on
less achievements, your boundless
prosperity.
We deem it fitting that the Fourth
of July should be the day chosen to
make formal representations to you
of our condition and our needs.
Since the 18th day of August. 1898.
the affairs, economic and political, of
the Filipino people have been under
absolute control of the government Of
the United States. We recognize the
fact that during the ten years this re-
lation has continued much has been
accomplished for the advancement
and uplifting of this race and the de-
velopment of industry in these islands.
We earnestly direct your attention to
these facts:
That while it is true that labor in
our fields is poorly paid. there is good
reason why it can not be better paid.
The same law that applies to and con-
trolls other industries applies also to
the agricultural industry here.
We do not charge that the govern
ment of the United States is respon-
sible for the unhappy condition of in
dustry in these islands, but we do
maintain that as territory belonging
to. controlled by and dependent upon
it. a moral obligation is imposed that
NAV not be justly disregarded, to as
sist in every possible way the material
interests of the people here. We have
been made to witness the splendid
development and evident prosperity of
Porto Rico since that island has en-
loved the advantages of free trade
with the United States. and we nat
urally feel that if it were justice to
so legislate in the case of Porto Rico,
then full justice has not yet been done
the Philippines.
We therefore earnestly petition the
people Of the United States to infiu-
ence the United States congress to en-
act legislation that will give to the
Philippines equal trade advantages
with Porto Rico. that the economic
troubles with which we are afflicted
NAV be removed and these islands
once more be brought to condition
of prosperity and happiness.

TAFT HAS A REST.
Presidential Candidate is at Hot
Springs.
Ten Year-Old Son Spends Day
Shooting Firecrackers.

Hot Springs, Va, July 4.-Today was
a period of quiet and rest for William
H. Taft, the Republican candidate for
the presidency of the United States.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft spent much of the
time throughout the day on the veran-
da adjoining their apartments on the
first floor Of the Homestead hotel,
where they enjoyed view Of the sur
rounding mountains and overlooked the
golf links.
Charlie Taft, the candidates 10-year-
old son, was the earliest riser in the
party and went to work diligently to
dispose of the packages of firecrackers
he had brought along to celebrate the
Fourth.
Assistant Secretary w. W. Michler
had about 1,500 letters awaiting Mr.
Taft's signature, most of them being
replies to congratulatory letters and
kilograms and during the day Mr.. Taft
signed many of them.
Representative Burton of Ohio, is
here, and together with Frank B. Kel-
logg, had conferences during the day.
A suite of five rooms was reserved for
Mr.. Taft and he will have a complete
working library here as soon as the
balance of his baggage arrives. Many
as the campaign progresses will be ac-
cessible. His span of horses will also
come this evening, and long mountain
rides have been planned.
Frank H. Hitchcock is expected here
in a few days The postmaster at
Clifton Forge, inquiring whether Mr..
Hitchcock was in the party. was told
by Mr.. Taft that he could see the
former first assistant postmaster gen
eral at Hot Springs in few days.

Although Mr.. Cleveland's important
work was done and his greatest re-
sponsibility assumed in the execution
of federal authority. he upheld with
all the force of his mind, with heroic
devotion to principle and with all the
power of his great office and influence,
the rights or the state and local gov

services in asserting and maintaining
that just distribution of powers which
so DISTINGUISHED the political system
bequeathed by the founders of the re-
public.

courts and so insisted upon the strict

RIDDER TALKED WITH BRYAN.

Ridder, editor of the New York Staatz
Zeitung. called at Fairview Friday and
asked Mr.. Bryan to Withdraw from
crat who could win The interview
was pleasant throughout.
The interview between Ridder and
Mr.. Bryan was of the frankest nature.
Mr.. Ridder told Mr.. Bryan in so many
words that he would oppose him open
Iv at the Denver convention, but in the
event of his being nominated to head
the ticket the Staatz Zeitung and Mr..
Ridder personally would support the
ticket.
Mr.. Ridder told Mr.. Bryan that it
was a matter for the serious consider
alton of the latter whether or not he
would accept a third nomination and
wreck the chances of the Democratic
party to elect the ticket at the coming
election.

Later Mr.. Ridder gave out the sub
stance of his talk with the Democratic
leader which lasted half an hour. Dur
ing the conference he presented to Mr..
Bryan a typewriter copy of pro-
posed plank advocating the removal of
the tariff on wood pulp, to which Mr..
Bryan wrote acrosssthe bottom:
II am in favor of the above plank
just the way it is
Mr. Ridder will carry this bit of
paper to the convention and there is
no doubt of it's being incorporated on
the platform adopted by the conven-
ton The plank reads as follows:
Every consideration of public poll
lev suggests the conservation of our
woodlands and the removal of those
import duties which put premium
upon the destruction of our forests
Existing duties have given paper
manufa cturers shelter behind which
they have organized combinations to
raise the price of pulp and of paper
and to impose tax upon knowledge.
The revenues derived from import du-
ties on pulp and printing paper are so
small and the benefits to be obtained
from the abolition of these duties so
considerable that we indorse the atti-
