PLATFORM THE ABSORBING
DENVER THEME TODAY.

DENVER, July 2.--Of the three i'm
portant questions before the Demo-
cratic leaders now on the spot, the
platform seem the most engaging.
The presidency and vice-presidency are
going their way, but the talk about
various planks in the declaration Of
principles is of absorbing interest
There Is going to be great deal of
difficulty in bringing the convention to
an agreement over the platform. The
conservatives are beginning to admit
that they will have to swallow Bryan,
but they are protesting that the pill
will be entirely too bitter for them If
n Is coated with ultra-radicalism.
Conservative and radical political
principles are mighty hard to mix, how
ever. as the Republican platform franz
srs discovered, and the mixture is hard
iy likely to please the advocates of
either. This is Mr.. Bryan's greatest
difficulty. The radicals, whether they
are the organized labor forces with
their demand for an anti-injunction
plank, or others who demand emphatic
declarations to destroy the trusts. or
those who want to go to the limit in
the government regulating the rail-
roads and corporations, claim and de-

TAFT COUNSELS
AGAINST STRIFE
Urges His Managers in New York
State Not to Oppose Candidacy Of
Governor Hughes.

Washington, Jan. 24.--Secretary
Taft is carrying out the policy In New
York that he has directed his mana
gers to follow in other states where
there are candidates for the Republi.
can nomination for the presidency. In
a letter to Herbert Parsons, chairman
Of the Republican county committee
Of New York the secretary makes it
clear that he does not want his friends
to prosecute campaign in New York
as against Governor Hughes. The let.
ter which was made public by Repre-.
sentative Parsons last night follows:
"My Dear Parsons;
Il am aware that you and many
other friends of mine in New York
state, who are also friends OF Cover
nor Hughes, have hesitated as to the
course to pursue in respect to the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency. | wish you and them to know
that as far as | am concerned there
should be no embarrassment in this
regard have uniformly urged
friends of mine not to attempt to di-
vide in my interest the delegation
from any state which has a candidate
Of its own. Since Governor Hughes
has indicated his willingness to ac.
copt the Republican nomination now
make the same request Of you and
my other friends in your state More
over, | would greatly deprecate a con
test which might imperil Republican
victory in New York in November.
Anything that can DO to avoid this
| am anxious to do.
Very sincerely yours,
