2nd Member for Christiansted Country
District (ArmStromg) introduced the Draft
and remarked that as the contents of it were
well known to the Members from former
wears and as it was in q similar form, there
was no necessity to enter on particulars. he
concluded by asking the Governments per-
mission to let the Draft pass through 3 dis
cussions to-day.
HIS ErceUencY answered that Government
is willing to support this Ordinance and
Government consented to it's passing 3 dis
cusslons to-day. The Draft itself was iii Old
acquaintance TO the Council and His Excel
loncy considered it unnecessary to speak
further about it.
The Chairman remarked that this Ordi-
nance had now for years turned up every
year in the same form, it was a great incon-
venience to deal with it every year and he
would ask Government if a general Draft
could not be made. it would be facilitating
to all parties.
His Erce1ency answered that he was
most willing to consider q change, but he
was not prepared for it now and would there
fore recommend the Council to adopt it as it
was now, then Lext year he would consider
if it might not be made out as an Ordinance
for o series of years.
The Chairman thanked His Excellency
for his obliging answer and recommended to
pass the Ordinance as it was.

Clark Withholds Support.

Speaker Clark is for harmony in the
organization OF the democratic national
convention in Baltimore, and does not
intend to support William Jennings
Bryan in his fight to defeat the selec-
tion Of Judge Alton B. Parker Of New
convention. Mr.. Clark declares that
discord in the organization is to be
avoided. In telegram to Col. Bryan
the Speaker says:
Have consulted with committee hay-
ing my interests In charge, and agree
with them that the supreme considera-
tion should be to prevent any discord
in the convention.
Friends of mine on the subcommittee
of arrangements have already presented
the name of Ollie James to the subcOm-
mittee. l believe that If all join In the
interests of harmony in an appeal to the
entire national committee to avoid con-
troyersies in matters Of organization tina t
leave the platform and the nomination
of candidates as the only real issues on
which delegates need divide"
Want Support Of New York.
The Clark supporters desire not to
align themselves against the New York
leaders, who are anxious to have Parker
serve as temporary chairman. Speaker
Clark's political lieutenants are angling
for the support Of the ninety uninstruct-
ed members Of the New York delegation.
There have been rumors here for the last
several days of working agreement
between Speaker Clark and Charles E.
Murphy, the Tammany leader. While the
of Speaker Clark in the Sc
lection of Parker as temporary chairman
seems to indicate that there may be
some truth in the reports Of an alliance.
no other confirmation has been obtained.
Charles R Crisp Of Georgia, parlia
mentarian of the House of Represent
atives, has been appointed parlia-
mentary aid to the chairman of the
Baltimore convention. Mr.. Crisp re-
ceived telegram yesterday from
National Committeeman Clark Howell
informing him Of his appointment.
Speaker Clark will remain in Wash
ington during the Baltimore convention.
He will learn Of it's proceedings by the
regular telegraph wires to the Capitol,
and will keep his headquarters in the

BALTIMORE, June S-The democratic
national platform builders promise to
present to the convention next week a
document that shall be short and Incl
sive. The number of teeth in it. as
one plankholder said today. will depend
upon the outcome of the struggle between
the conservative and radical wings of
the party On most of the major points.
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 J. Bryan wins his fight to
have the keynote of the convention
sounded by progressive chairman Mr..
Bryan probably will be made chairman Of
the resolutions committee. Under any
circumstances. he is expected TO play an
important part in the construction of this
important document. In view of the re-
publican situation and the hints that the
leaders of third ticket may appeal
for support to progressive democrats.
there is little doubt that. whatever the
complexion of the Baltimore convention,
its platform will make sweeping conces-
sions to the radical element in the party.
Tariff Prominent Issue.
Senator O'Gorman of New York, who
probably will represent New York on the
resolutions committee, says that it is
the consensus Of opinion that the tariff
should be the dominant issue, and that
a vigorous tariff plank should be the COM
mittecs first care. The next plank in
order of Importance will relate to bust
ness monopoleS.

declarations in favor OF more popular
government. Some of the leaders assert
that there will be no reference in the
platform to the initiative. the referendum
and the recall, since these matters were
regarded as disnctiyely state issues The
states probab bly, will be asked to consider
recommendation for the adoption of
preferential primaries. and the advocates
of uniform country wide primaries will
receive a hearing.
Division OF opinion has arisen over the
possible regulation of the money inter-
ests. The progressires are planning to
advocate strong plank against the
so-called money trust" A milder form
of this plank proposed today is simple
declaration in favor of reforming the
currency system to make ii more elastic
and better able to meet conditions in
money ranics.
Suffrage Plank Early on Hand.
A universal woman Suffrage plank ar
rived here today. and several prominent
suffraglsts alread, have been promised
hearing before the committee.
Other planks the committee will con-
slider are as follows:
Declaring for regular increase of the
navy. probably the construction OF two
battleships year.
Permitting the postal employees TO or
ganize.
Improvement Of rivers and harbors.
Favoring national public health
bureau.
There was talk today of plank de-
claring in strong terms against third
presidential term. If Col. Roosevelt is
nominated to run again. it Is said that
such plank is certain to find its way
into the platform. The proposed con-
stitutional amendment favoring a six
year term for the presidency with no
reelection also is receiving favorable at
tention.

Judge Parker read the message through
carefully.
1T is very interesting he said at
length. He scanned the names of the
governors TO whom the message advocat-
ing the rejection Of Judge Parker and
selection as temporary chairman of some

gressive candidates for the presidential
nomination had been sent. He read the
names of Cows. Wilson. Burke. Foss,

New Haven. Conn. June -.
"Hon. William jennings Bryan, Chicago:
Replying to your telegram forwarded
| from Hartford, it does not seem to me
that the course you suggest would pro-
mote harmony at Baltimore.
The republican party has been visfb'y
destroying itself at Chicago. The storm
center has been the action of a national
committee in planning for the organiza-
ton of its convention. | should regard
it as unwise TO agitate a similar cause of
difference respecting action of the demo-
cratic national convention.
The democratic party of the United
States stands for three things:
What Party Stands For.
]. Opposition to grants Of special privi-
leges TO special interests.
,. Opposition to Capitalization of power
at Washington by refreshments on the
rightful spheres of the states.
:. Economy in public expenditures.
All those who believe that these prin-
ciples should be steadfastly maintained
belong to the democratic party.
No party can expect or deserve success
In the conduct of national affairs which
is not broad enough to comprehend many
who differ widely In their views on minor
points. 1t will have a right wing. left
wing and a center, all coordinate parts
of one and the same political body.
Advises Against Opposition.
1.-The democratic party stands united
on the cardinal points above stated.
1t has chosen national committee
with power to arrange for it's national
convention. / appeal to you as the
great leader for whom / have cast my
vote in former presidential campaigns
as one agreeing with you on those
points, though differing from you as
to some others. to use your command
| ing influence to secure harmony at
Baltimore. not by opposing the choice
of any particular Individual as chair
man of the convention, but rather in
! the lines of emphasizing points of
agreement instead Of points of differ
ence
Il am for leaving the national COM
mittee to act on the recommendation

most wise. Let the republicans enjoy
a monopoly of pre-convention personal
