been warm personal friends. When
the Nebraska leader was at Whining
ton the last time he stopped over night
at Gray's home and every visitor to
Lincoln this last week has been. treated
with rather pointed commentator of
the high character and political
strength: >of the Delaware Judge. He
stands. about..where.: Taft does on the
injunction idea and is quite willing to
have law passed to require that fed
eral judges shall issue wrfts of injunc-
tion only after due notice except in
cases Of emergency. He would laugh
at the absurdity of trial by jury for
contempt committed outside the court
room.
Gray's action in the anthracite strike
dispute has made him more popular
with the labor element than almost
any eastern democrat that can be men
toned. He was a gold democrat in his
personal sentiments in 1896, but he
kept himself regular and did not open
ly antagonize Bryan and the silver
issue. At the same time he represents
conservative eastern sentiment and
there is strong tip from Lincoln that
If he is elected he would come as near
as any other man to helping carry
New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia.
Bryan expects to be the drawing card
in Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska the
Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Bryan contingency is counting
good deal on this latter state. They
think the bitterness displayed by La
Follette's followers in the Chicago con-
vention may split up wisconsin to such
an extent that the democrats would at
least have lookin.
Tom Taggart says he does not expect
to be candidate for the position of
chairman of the democratic national
committee. Roger Sullivan does not
want it, and says so. Jim Dahlman,
Bryan's personal political lieutenant, is
going to run for governor of Nebraska.
This leaves the place of national chair
man reasonably clear for Urey Wood
son of Kentucky, the very efficient
secretary of the present committee.

SUFFRAGETTFS RIOT
ROUND PARLIAMENT
Cordons of Police Prevent Fren=
zied Women From Entering
House of Commons

LONDON. June 3O.-Contrasted with
the recent orderly and impressive suf-
fragettes' demonstration todays' affair
was. comparative failure: and .calcu-
lated rather to injure than advance the
cause it was intended to serve. The
affair seemed to lack. definite plan and
organization.
The real leaders in the attack. on .the
house of commons remained behind at
Caxton hall, reserving themselves, as
they now explain, for another projected
invasion of parliament on Thursday.
The police. mounted and ON foot,
were in strong force in the vicinity of
parliament and for two or three hours
that neighborhood was the scene of
riots and skirmishes through the eff
forts of the suffragettes to break
through the Gordon and reach the lobby
of the house of commons.
Numerous ruses and disguises were
employed for this purpose, but none
succeeded. Ii the end 20 of the women
were arrested, including two bold
spirits who drove in a cab to Downing
street and threw stones and smashed
the windows of the premier's residence
and others who chartered boats on the
Thames and tried to harangue the
members of the house on the terrace
through megaphones.
The suffragettes sent deputation
to the house of commons to interview
Premier Asquith in the matter of the
immediate granting of the franchise to
women. The deputation was met by a
solid body of police and refused admis-
sion The premier in a curt message
declined to see the delegation.
