DEMOCRATS To
MEET On TUESDAY
THE PARTY PLATFORM WILL BE
SHORT, 1T Is SAID, AND
INclsIvE.

Baltimore, June 22.-Democratic
national platform builders promise to
present to the convention next week
a document that shall be short and
incisive. On most of the major points
conservative and radical leaders seem
to have agreed. Some of them say
that the differences likely to arise
in the committee on resolutions when
it considers the platform next week
will be matters of language rather
than of contents.
If William Jennings Bryan wins his
fight to have the keynote of the con-
vention sounded by a progressive
chairman, Mr.. Bryan probably will be
made chairman CT the resolutions
committee. Under any circumi tances
he expected to play an important
part in the construction of this i'm
portant document.
In view Of the republican situation
and hints that the leaders of third
ticket may appeal for support to
progressive democrats, there is lit
tie doubt that whatever the complex
ion of the Baltimore convention, its
platform will make sweeping ccnces-
sions to the radical element in the
party.
Senator O'Gorman Of New York,
who PROBABLY will represent New
York on the resolutions committee,
cos hat il is the consensus of opin-
icn that the tariff should be the dom
inant issue and that vigorous tariff
plank should be the committee first
care. The next plank in order of i'm
portance will relate to business mono
poles.

throughout the week.

and outside the hall, Roosevelt was
nominated and he accepted the NOM
ination, announcing that he would
run fer president as the candidate or
| the Progressive Party" HUI dreds
of people had assembled on the out
side of the hall, and when the news
was flashed that Roosevelt had been
nominated and that new party had
been born within the hall, a great
demonstration folio wed, and for an
hour or more crowds paraded the
streets of Chicago, yelling ana
screaming for the former president
like wild people.
The convention, OF course, was not
able to complete all details, bit tenn
porary officers were elected, @ plat
form discussed, and the nomination
made. Further details as to he tu-
ture of the party will be announced
in few days.
There was talk early today among

CASE IS TAKEN TO
SUPREME COURT
Unique Question Raised by
Taft Adherents to Keep
Roosevelt Men Out.

New York. Aug. 1.-The Kansas
primary election case, which involves
unique point of great importance in
the machinery of the national cleo
ton was laid before the justices of the
United States supreme court here to-
day. Directly or indirectly the deci-
sion of these justices will settle wheth-
er the eight candidates for presiden-
tial electors who have declared they
Roosevelt may have their names on
the ballot submitted to the people of
Kansas at the republican primary
election there on August s. An
emergency action by the court is nee
essary so that the primary ballots
might be printed in time for the cleo
tion.
The plaintiffs are the Kansas Taft
leaders, and the action, which takes
the form Of an application for a writ
of error, is defended by several attor-
neys representing the Roosevelt par
ty. including Representatives F. S.
Jackson of Topeka and Olmsted of
Pennsylvania appears for the appli-
cants.
The question at issue is broad one.
The Taft leaders declare the eight
electors they are trying to keep off
the ticket were designated with the
understanding that they would abide
by the decision of the republican ma
tional convention, and that if the state
wide primary elected them the result
would be contrary to the fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitu-
ton which forbids any state to inter-
fere with the freedom and privileges
of the citizens Of the United States.
The Roosevelt people contend the vot-
ers in Kansas should have the right
of the referendum on the decision of
the national convention. The Kansas
law is the only one which would per-
init such a referendum.

American Protection.

Ell Paso, Aug. 1--Scorcs OF mes

from Maria yesterday, addressed to
Congressman W. r. Smith. The mes
sage read:
IF the United States cannot han
die the Mexican situation let Preside
county handle it,
Appeals are in most cases being
sent to congressman and senators but
some have been directed to the white
house
The arrival last night of two train
loads of refugees from the Mormon
colonies of Pachuca. Chuchopa and
Garcia has brought the number here
to $500.
The dignitaries of the Mormon
church who are looking after their
people are arranging to send many
of them to other cities.
o. P. Brown, one of the Mormon
bishops, in note to local paper
declares:
The time has come for the Ameri-
can people to act, if the Mexican n
government is unable and the United
states unwilling to protect its people
in foreign lands"

Washington, Aug. 1.-Unless con-

Secretary of War stimson believe that
1t will be practically impossible fer
the army engineers to keep their

of the house committee on interstate
commerce, was considering the intro

ton and operation of the canal Mr..
Adamson was understood to be ready
to bring in such a resolution when
ever it becomes apparent that there
is no chance of a compromise and the
two houses become deadlocked over
the other Questions.
President Taft was much concerned
today over the prospect of delay in
the opening of the canal.
In many speeches he has made since
he became president he has predicted
that the Atlantic and the Pacific
would be Joined at Panama in 1913,
and at one time the president be-
lieved that he would be able to steam
through the canal on the old battle
ship Oregon when the formal open
ing is celebrated, during his present
term in the white house
