HEARS1'S SPEECH
REVIEWS DEMAND
FOR HIS CANDIDACY

Continued from First Page.)
ions of all three were rained upon the
members of the committee. The gen.
eral sentiment, however, seems to be
about as it was, on Sunday. when the
delegates began. to arrive in force.
Radical fp1unction Plank.
A more radical 1utterance on the
question of injunctions than was made
by either the Democratic OF Republican
parties is favored, the sentiment of the
majority being toward the practical OBJ
liberation of the preliminary injunction
as a legal process, A declaration in
favor of prohibiting i~njunctions until
after a full trial by law has been had
from the greatest number Of advocates.
The Californians are strongly press
ing for a forcible declaration against
Asiatic immigration, and a strong plank
on this subject is looked for, 1t is also
probable that the financial plank will
favor he issuance of all money direct
by the government instead of through
the Medium of national banks.
DISQUALIFICATION of industrial en-
terprises will be denounced, and an
amendment to. the Sherman antitrust
law, providing, that it shall not affect
combinations of business men, is ooked
for.
Clarence j. Shearn said that the plat
form as a whole would follow closely
the declaration of principles made at
the February meeting of the Ilde-
pendence party.
A proposition from the Society of
Equity to nationalize farm mortgages
by allowing farmers to borrow money
direct from the national treasury by
offering their land as security was re-
jected. The committee, however, gave
extended consideration to the requests
of the Society of Equity for Federal
inspection of grain. A plank providing
for physical valuations of railroads
probably will apepar in the platform
draft.
New Jersey Men Want Hearst.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Hearst has
repeatedly declared that he will not be
a candidate for the presidency. there
is a strong sentiment among the dele
gates for him, and he would nave less
trouble in securing the nomination, II
he desires 1t, than had either Taft or
Bryan. The Pennsylvania. delegation
at it's caucus declared unreservedly for
Hearst, in the face of his positive as
sertion hat he did not are to be con-
sidered. The New Jersey delegation
also decided to vote for him, and it is
known that the New York people will
do so at the first opportunity given
them.
The Empire State will, however, pre-
sent the name of Judge Reuben r.

showing of strength on the first ballot
the delegation will go either to Hearst
or to Hisgen, of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Hisgen up to the time the con-
vention met was considered to have a
fairly strong lead in the race, but the
excellent impression on the convention
made by Mr.. Hearst's speech as tenn
porary chairman and by the manner
in which he delivered it, brought him
so strongly to the front that Mr.. His
gen was, to all appearances, pushed
somewhat to the rear. He and his
friends, however. were today supremely,
confident tina he will be the nominee.
Neal OUT of 1t.
John Temple Graves, who says he
will be nominated from Georgia n
seconded from New York; declares
that nothing but a stampede to Mr..
Hearst will prevent his nomination.
Milton w. Howard, of Fort Payne.
Ala, has many friends and expects to
poll a large vote. Neal, of Indiana, is
practically put of the race. His State
has been willing to bring his name to
the front. but Mr.. Neal Is not am
bilious for the honor, and it is prob
able hat his name will not be pre-
sented to the convention. Charles A.
Walsh. of Iowa, mas many friends who
are booming him, but his candidacy
thus far has not proved as strong as
that of HfyA zen. Howard or Graves. G.
