FIGHT ON GUFFEY
SEEKS TO HAVE PENNSYLVANIA
uNsEATED AS MEMBER OF
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

Baltimore In Lead for Convention City
100000 Must be Pledged First
Will Follow Republican
Convention.

Washington. Jan. 9. = When the
democratic national committee went
into session to decide the time and
place for the next national democratic
convention, w. ]. Bryan at once be-
came a storm center in an attempt to
have James NJ. Guffey of Pennsylvania
thrown off the committee.
The rollcall of the states had been
started when the trouble broke. He
declared that it was plain there was a
purpose to head off a protest against
Colonel Guffey and that the matter
ought to be thoroughly discussed. At
this interesting juncture a motion to
go into executive session was carried
and the doors were closed. The.
Pennsylvania fight was plunged into
at once. Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer, ,contesting Guffey's place on
the committee, was in the room hold
Ing the Utah proxy.
Mr.. Bryan was defeated by a vote
of 80 to 10. This indicated that the
committee was closely against the
Nebraskan in his fight on Colonel Cuff
IVY oAAu CAdC CIO 1dCCCl WOulu U6 re-
tanned on the committee beyond all
question.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma gave
Senator Lea of Tennessee a proxy to
attend the committees session, and
the Tennessean went into the execu-
tive session determined to fight bitter
ly for the seating of Robert E. Lee
M~ountcastle, as national committee
man from his state.
S. D. Warfield of Baltimore, hold
ing the proxy of the Arizona commit
teeman, was in the meeting arguing
for Baltimore for the national con-
vention and former Governor Francis
of Missouri appeared for st. Louis.
Immediately after his arrival today
Governor Wilson set about to prepare
a statement explaining the letter he is
alleged to have written to A. H. Jo-
line several years ago suggesting that
some method should be devised of
getting rid of Bryan"

Baltimore In the Lead.

In the contest of the cities for hold
Ing the national democratic onven
ton, Baltimore appeared to have a
slight lead with st. Louis pressing
hard as the nearest competitor. New
York, Denver and Chicago also had
put in claims. The time of the conyen.:
ton probably will be two weeks after
the republican. national convention to
be held in Chicago June 18.
Democratic leaders from all sections
of the country were here for the com
mittee meeting and the jackson day
dinner. Business at the house end
of the capitol. where the democrats
are in control, practically was at a
%standstill.
Just before the committee. went into
session there appeared to be a unanim,
ity of opinion among the members that
the city to be awarded the convention
must come forward with a definite of,
fer OF. 100000. Baltimore is the only
city at this time to have made such
a definite proposition.
Opposition to St. Louis.
There was some opposition to St.
Louis, however, Oh the ground that
both former Governor Falk and Speak.
er Champ Clark of Missouri were
presidential aspirants. New York's
chances for the convention suffered
from a feeling among the democrats
that that city was too neal Wall
street and too close to Tammany
Hail."
Although there are boomers" in
town for all of the avowed presiden,
tial candidates, the members of the
committee seemed reticent in discuss,
ing the situation. Oddly enough there
seemed to be a consensus of opinion
that the democrats might we'll afford
to wait until after the republicans have
made their nomination at Chicago.
1t was argued in support of this that
if Mr.. Taft were renominated it might
be expedient for the democrats to
choose an out and out progressive. If
! Roosevelt were nominated, it was said
it might be good democratic policy t.,
name a man more conservative" than
the former president.
