EXCITEMENT HIGH
IN POLITICS HERE

Political excitement at Conway,
since the convention met at Baltimore
is at the highest pitch it has been in
many years, and every report from
the Democratic gathering is received
with the greatest interest. The next
Democratic nominee is the subject of
practically all discussions on the
streets and in business houses. Bry-
an is unquestionably the favorite
here, many who had been strong
Clark supporters declaring for the
Nebraskan since the apparent coali-
ton of the Clark forces with the re-
dictionaries in the convention. Will
son is probably the second choice OF a
majority of Conway Democrats, al
though some of them declare they
have no second choice and are for
Bryan first, last and all the time"

With the resumption of balloting in
the national Democratic convention
today the deadlock seemed more APP
parent than ever Champ Clark held
the vote he had on the adjournment
Saturday night and made slight
gains, but Wilson's gains were the
more substantial and brought the
New Jersey man up within striking
distance of the Missourian.
The vote on the twenty ninth bal
lot, the third taken at today's session,
was as follows:

Harmon, 20.
Marshall, 80.
Bryan, 2.
Bryan, 2.
Kern, 2.
On the fourteenth ballot, Bryan
voted for Wilson and bitterly assailed
Clark.
Bryan said he would not vote for
Clark as long as New York, with Bel
mont and Ryan, support HIM.
On all previous ballots, Bryan had
been voting for Clark, who carried
the Nebraska primaries over Wilson
and Harmon.
There were no indications of a Sc
rious break IN either Clark, Wilson OF
Underwood forces.
Wilson's vote alone of the four
teenth ballot is sufficient to prevent
the nomination going to Clark, unless
a port on of it leaves the New Jersey
governor.

CANADA'S COPYRIGHT LAW
w. A. Brady Says 1t Destroys
All American Productions.

William A. Brady. president OF the Ma
tonal Association Of Theatrical Producing
Managers, is sending ont to the managers
letter stating the present condition IN
Canada Of tho copyright law, together with
the opinion OF +. Z. Richie. the Registrar
OF Copyright in Canada. concerning future
amendment of the law.
At present the American or foreign man
agcr and dramatst have no redress against
the reported pirating and unauthorized pro-
duction OF their plays.
The district between Ottawa and Van
couver particularly Is flooded with these un-
authorized productions, which tour around
and absolutely destroy tho field for Amer
ican managers. The last bill to prevent
these practices failed in the Canadian Par
lament only because of Laurier's fall, and
a new measure will be presented at the next
session.
Lyon Johnson, general counsel for tho
national association, and Hollis f. Cooley
the secretary, with Mr.. Brady, hope to make
the pirating and production OF plays In
Canada Il criminal as we'll as civil offence.
as II Is In this country and England.
Practically every popular play that ap'
pears In New York is Immediately put on
the boards I'm Western Canada, and I'm this
way il becomes impossible for the Ameri-
can manager TO tour that country with his
company and with play that he has law
fully and at considerable expense obtained
and produced.
