Illinois, and general harmony in the
ranks, where Ii is most needed.
II 1t does not hold together Thomas
Taggart of Indiana has a second
string to his bow. At the present
writing Mr.. Taggart is supporting
Thomas Marshall. governor of Indi-
ana, for the presidency. In every
camp in Baltimore politicians who are
not totally blinded by their loyalty TO
a candidate will say without hesita-
ton that they could easily support
Governor Marshall in the event OF a
deadlock. The same thing is being
said in the Harmon. Wilson, Under
wood and Clark camps about Senator
John w. Kern of Indiana. In the
eyent of an absolute deadlock II seems
certain that Indiana will land on the
ticket with one of these two men.
What William j. Bryan will do in
the face of this situation remains to
be seen At the present writing Mr..
Bryan is fighting mad and he pro-
poses to take his troubles to the floor
VI the CONVENTION anu opcan MS thaiho
in characteristic fashion. Some of
the conservatives are spreading the
report that Bryan will combine with
Roosevelt in third party, IL he re-
mains dissatisfied. One OF Mr.. Bry.
ans close friends said
"If William ]. Bryan ever intended
to bolt the Democratic party he would
have done IL long ago. Mr.. Bryan
knows the fate of bolting candidate.
He is a believer in the theory that
reform must come from within and
not without a party"

sos Delegates and Op-

Baltimore, June Zb-Wllllam j.
Bryan lost his fight in the national
Democratic convention when Judge
Alton B. Parker was elected tempo
rary chairman over the Nebraskan by
vote of 579 to SOC.
Baltimore, June pa last despe-
rate effort to avert bitter factional
fight was made by the Bryan forces
when the Democratic convention took
up the problem of selecting a tempo
rary chairman. So sharp did the
lines divide that Mr.. Bryan himself
became a candidate for the temporary
chairmanship.
After Bryan had made a speech
nominating Senator Kern of Indiana
and attacking Alton b. Parker, Kern
took the stand. He made plea for
harmony, asked Parker to join him In
Withdrawing from the contest for tenn
porary chairman and substituting any
one of a list of several men. After
waiting in vain for reply from Par
ker, Kern himself withdrew and nomi-
mated Bryan.
Again Bryan took the platform. He
accepted the nomination and the line
up for the final struggle was COM
plete.

BUTTER BOYCOTT NOT OFF
Housewives League Will Wait

Although the Housewives League, which
three weeks ago declared boycott on but

price, is quite satisfied with the drop an
nounced yesterday it will continue the boy
colt until retail dealers cease TO take adj
vantage of the ignorance Of customers
who do not read the newspapers.
I'VE have heard Of many cases Of this
kind" said the president, Mrs. Julian
Heath, yesterday and we do not intend
to let up until every woman is getting but
ter at normal prices"
Mrs. Heath believes that it is the boy
colt which has broken the butter market,
and says the housewives are ready to de-
clare another whenever occasion demands.
This affair has been an eyeopener 70
them" she declared. "They have not only
learned that they can do without butter
without serious inconvenience, but they
have learned their own powers"
The league is now planning TO establish
a centre from which information relative
TO the food supply will be sent out to the
