Many Unable to Secure Ac-

Hundreds, even thousands of persons
will come from Baltimore to Washing

sleep. The convention city hotels are
reported crowded up to the caves with
guests doing perforce all the tabled
sleeping four-in-a-bed reclining on bill
Hard tables or in bathtubs one ever

by the Baltimore hotels last evening,

Ing bore evidence that many will seek
to get a regular nights sleep.
Thousands OF convention visitors are
in Washington en- route to Baltimore,
The delegates, excepting an occasional
stray, are all at the convention hall to-
day. Most of them will be here on the
way home, and some will come here
each evening to sleep.
Delegations from all over the country
were in this city last night and early
this morning and Champ Clark and Con-

til after midnight shaking hands with
Soptherners on their way to Baltimore
One of the Speakers visitors was his

BALTIMORE, June 25.-That the
Democratic platform to be adopted will
be in direct contrast to that Of the con-
vention that renominated President
Taft was the consensus of opinion
among the leaders today.
That Bryan will be one Of the domi-
nant figures in shaping the document
was admitted. Whether he wins or
loses his fight in temporary organiza-
tion he will be Nebraska's member of
the resolutions committee. and II the
progressives are in control he will be
the chairman of the committee.
1t has been definitely settled that
there will be no specific considerable

call, although 1t Is possible that they
may be suggested as proper measures
for consideration by the States them
selves.
Direct Elections.
The direct election of United States
Senators and preferential primary, as
well as the direct nomination of most
officials will be favored in strong terms
The platform will also declare for the
regulation of all corporations and for
the criminal prosecution of all persons
in official positions on corporations
that violate the anti-monopoly laws. A
tariff for revenue only will be favored,
but If there is an organized attempt to
put the party on record as favoring the

An income tax will be specifically

favoring a Government Inheritance tax.
Full Publicity.
Full publicity in all Of the affairs of
the Government will be favored, as
well as the fullest and most complete
publicity before election of the receipts
and expenditures for campaign pur-
poses.
The Republican party will be scored
for it's failure to reduce the tariff, the
Payne-Aldrich. bill being specifically de-
nounced as an assault on the wage
earners of the country. President Taft
will be condemned for his veto of the
low tariff measures.

Leader, and Calls 1t a

BALTIMORE, June 25.-Edwin A.
Newman, national committeeman from
the District of Columbia, was in jubi-
liant frame of mind today over the
seating Of the Newman delegation by
the Democratic national committee at
midnight last night After a spirited
hearing, during which verbal clashes
were frequent among followers of the
Newman, the Costello, and the Carr
Darr factions, the national committee
voted unanimously in favor of the
Newman delegation.
Those who will take their seats from
the District in the temporary organtzs-

VICE PRESIDENTIAL
BOOM IS STARTED
Democrats In Baltimore Talk
of Governors for Second
Place.

BALTIMORE, June 25.-There was
much quiet consideration by the Demo-
cratic leaders here today of availa BILE
timber for the Vice Presidency. While
admitting that geographical considera-
tions would contro:. and that final Sc
lection would not be possible until after
the head of the ticket had been decided
upon, the claims of the various candi-
dates were discussed by the men who
will have the task of deciding who ID
the most available candidate.
II Bryan should be nominated for
President. the general impression was
that he would prevail on Governor Will
son of Now Jersey to be his running
mate. though Wilson has to lead his
friends to believe that under no circum-
stances would he accept second place.
O'Gorman Boom Statred.
There was a well-deflned boom in cer-
tain circles for Senator O'Gorman o.
New York. He has taken a district
stand for progressive measures ever
since he entered the Senate, and it was
admitted his popularity in New York
would benefit any Presidential candi-
date II he could be persuaded to accept
the second place.
though a Presidential and,date, had
many warm supporters, as had Gov.
ernor Foss of Massachusetts and Gov
ernor Baldwin of Connecticut
Congressman William Su!Zer CT New
York had a personally conducted boom
which. he declared was promising. He
said that he had the support OF Il dozen
State delegations, and that II geo.
graphical conditions were right he be-
lieved he would be the man.
Westerners Like Dix.
Governor Dix of, New York was also
much in the limelight. He has been
mixing with the delegates and has
made a good impression on many of
them, especially those from the West
ern States.
Mayor Preston of Baltimore has es-
| tablished headquarters. and his boom
ers we're declaring that 1t would greatly
aid the party If he were taken for the
position below the Mason and Dixon
| line. In the same position for the sam+
reason were Clark Howell, Ct Georgiu
and former Governor Montague of Vn'
! ginia.
Governor Burke of North Dakota has
| many friends among the Western pro-
Gressives, and the friends of former
Congressman, Francis Burton Harrison
were also sounding his praises.

CONF FUS|ON RE|GNS
AS CROWDS STORM
CONVENTION HALL
Penetrating Rain Of Fore
noon Adds to Mix-up
At Entrances.

FIFTH REGIMENT ARMORY, BAL
TIMORE, Md, June 25.-The arrange
ments for the admission of the dele
gates and the spectators were the
worst in the history of any previo Us
national convention. AS a result there
was indescriba BILE confusion about the
many entrances to the rambling
structure. The force of door tenders
were green on the Job and the small
army of police on duty spent a good
part of their time seeking shelter
from a penetrating rain that was
falling when the doors were thrown
open at 10 o'clock.
The big barn-like building had been
made spick and span for the occasion.
The steel girders had been covered
with ochre colored cheese cloth while
the girders were decorated with yell
low cloth. Yellow and white bunting
was suspended from the roof caves
Oil Painting of Jefferson.
Directly behind the speakers plat
form was an oil painting of Thomas
Jefferson festooned with flags and
above 1t the following motto:
May the infinite power which rules
the destinies of the Universe lead ouI
councils to what Is best and give them a
favorable issue for your peace and pros
perity. THOMAS JEFFERSON"
At the west end Of the hall was a pic.
ture OF Washington and the following
motto:
May the virtue and happiness OF the
people be preserved and the Government
which they have instituted for the pro-
lection of their liberties be perpetuate. -
At the east end was an oil painting OF
Andrew jackson.
Banners Bear State Seals.
Around the balconies was draped red
white, and blue bunting. Yellow ban
ners bearing the seals of the various
States were distributed at intervals
around the balcony rail.
Although the doors opened at II
o'clock there were not $50 people In the
hall thtee-quarters of an hour after
ward. This was due to the mix-up a.
the entrances. when the ticket takers
could not seem to get the hang of theil
jobs.
Three Ohio men were the first dele
gates in their seats. A couple of Michi
| gan representatives next strolled In
and from that time on the men who
will make party history during the mex
| few days came leisurely strolling in.

Score of Bodyguards
Serve Boss Murphy

BALTIMORE. Md, June 25.-It is
evidently a great job to be the boss
of Tammany Hall. No prince ever
had a more attentive lot OF bodyguards,
buffers and underlings than Charles F.
Murphy. He occupies an expensive
suite at the Emerson Hotel, he has a
referee of prize fighters ION the door,"
and the referee is flanked by secretar-
les. assistant secretaries and other
little braves of Tammany. The
throne room is about as easy to enter
as the underground passage of a sui
must know the grip. the high sign, the
password. and must bend the knee IN
just the proper shape before the doors
open
