Young Mr. w. Morgan Shuster
made such good fight for the eco
nomic improvement of Persia (and
got so well advertised) that 1t was
morally certain his services would be
in demand elsewhere. Uncle Sam
will find use for him. was the
common remark in Washington last
winter. But Big Business beat him
to it.
Shuster goes to South America to
establish great system of branch

goodly share of the prosperity of that
continent into Wall Street,

UNION DEMOCRATS OFF TO
BALTIMORE CONVENTION

ELIZABETH, June PA large
number of Union county Democrats
left here this morning to at
tend the Democratic National
Convention In Baltimore. Some of
the leaders of the party in this sec
ton are already in the convention
city. Among these are Congressman
William B. Tuttle, jr., General Dennis
f. Collins and L. II. Russell, who left
on Thursday, and City Attorney
James c. Connolly and Robert II.
MeAdams, who left yesterday.
Among those who went today
are James J. Potts, delegate from
Union County; Mayor Alfred A.
Stein, Edward Nugent. president of
City Council; Assistant City Attorney
Joseph T. Hague and Charles NJ.
Platz and William A.. Leonard. who
have been appointed doorkeepers of
the convention.
The effort to take a trainload of
Wilson boomers from Union County
10 Baltimore proved a failure and
the committee having the matter in
charge was Saturday compelled to
change it's arrangements and, instead
of a special train. one car will be at
tached to a regular train to take the
Union County delegation. The train
will make no stops in this county, ex-
cepting at Elizabeth, AMI all who go
on it must leave from this city.

Yesterday in Baltimore there was
an atmosphere of clearness in sharp
contrast to that prevailing in
Chicago the same day last week. The
barter and sale Of delegates, which
was uppermost in the minds of the
leaders in Chicago, is a thing unheard
of here. There is no question con-
corning whether the selfish ambitions
of this man or that man shall be real
lied. The sole purpose of the ear
nest men representing all shades of
Democracy in convention assembled
appears to be to select a ruler for
four years who shall best serve the
interests of the country. There is
much discussion regarding what rela-
ton the action of the Chicago con-
vention has to the course this con-
vention should take.
Roosevelt Discussed.
Most of the delegates here appear
to be from Missouri. They hesitate
to accept the Roosevelt action in Chi
cago last night as more than a part
ing growl of a defeated candidate.
The argument is that a third party
movement headed by Roosevelt would
Nc topt Clilbdll dSSlHs LOT tfe Western
progressive leaders in the Republican
party. without whose active coopera~
ton he movement would die a-born-
ing. Borah, for instance, frowned
upon the suggestion because his as
pirations for another term in the
United states Senate would never be
realized should there be a break in
the party organization. Deneen,
Hadley and Dixon are in much the
same boat. Every delegate to the Re-
publican convention from Minnesota
is a candidate for office. and a wide
open split would mean their defeat.
These facts and others Of similar
character are known here, hence not
much Importance is attached 10 the
Roosevelt threat. 1t is believed that
the Colonel will return to Oyster Bay,
buster for a while, and In the mean
time ascertain what measure of fin
ancial support a third party move
ment would obtain. 1t was openly
asserted in Chicago that his most
recent financial hackers were very
sore and further declined to p~artici-
pate in the job of financing a frost. :
Those who are familiar with the cost
OF Independent pollllcal movements
assert that it would require $4,000, 900
to lay the foundation for a Roosevelt
movement. When can he get it?
Hence the Democrats believe they
have to beat Taft and that faction
of the Republican party remaining
loyal to him. They do not figure
upon a third ticket.
Judge Parker arrived at the Emer-
son late this afternoon and as he
walked to the clerks desk was rec
ognized by only a few people. He.
was accompanied by August Belmont,
but their meeting on the train was
said to have been accidental.

Inc national committee as u WHOle
will meet today to pass on the
action of the subcommittee. The
poll of the national committee shows
that of the fifty-three members,
thirty-two are in favor of sustaining
the action of the subcommittee in
the selection of Judge Parker to act
as temporary chairman and twenty
are opposed with n in doubt. As
there appears to be no doubt OF the
national committee voting to seat
Judge Parker, the fight. If any fight
is waged, will be transferred to the
floor of the convention land on the
outcome there are two decided differ
ences of opinion.
Parker Men Confident.
The conservative element among
the advocates of Judge Parker for
temporary chairman assert that his
minimum vote in the convention will
be 577, which would elect Judge Par
ker by a majority of 81. Those OPP
posed to Judge Parker, though claim
ing he would surely be defeated on
the floor, decline to give out any
figures until such time as they have
heard from Mr.. Bryan.
Before the opening of the conyen-
ton there is a distinct feeling that
the Democrats must nominate a true
progressive. Even advocates of those
candidates who are regarded as out
of harmony with progressive prlnci-
pies regard the outcome of the Chi
cage convention as putting out of the
running all those who stand for much
the same principles as does the noni-
nee of that convention.
The determination to make no mis-
take, to adopt a platform h a shall
be in thorough sympathy with the
progressive policies that control the
great majority of the people through
the country. and to nominate d man
who can stand squarely upon that
platform without winking an eye
lash, may lead to the nomination of
Champ Clark on the first ballot.
In the opinion of many of the dele
gates that is the action of this con
vention should take. The Clark lead
ers are enthusiastic and full of con
fdence. They have sounded the dele
gates and know whereof they speak.
If the belief outlined shall grow dur
ing the next two days as 1t has in
the last twenty-four hours, there will
be no heading off the nomination of
Champ Clark on the initial ballot.

From a staff Correspondent

" [From a STAFF Correspondent
BALTIMORE, June "a.
Il HE hosts of Democracy re assembling in a spirit of absolute
harmony. The talk among the delegates and party leaders suggest
that nothing will be permitted to ruhe the serenity or adversely
effect the prospects of victory in November
These men, coming from all States and Territories, re convinced
they are here not for the mere purpose of nominating a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States, but firmly believe that when their deib-
eraions shall have been completed they will have elected a President of
the United States.
William ]. Bryan arrived in the city at 6 o'clock last evening. He
was met by a crowd at the Belvidere Hotel that gave him a demonstration
such as he might be expected to get anywhere where there was a little ex
citement The greeting was enthusiastic, but not at all significant
There is but oe question under debate today: Shall the action Of
the subcommittee of the national committee in selecting Judge Alton B.
Parker for temporary chairman be confirmed or be rejected by the con-
yenhon as a whole?
There is a tendency upon the part of many of the delegates to regard
this question as n to be settled by the convictions of the individual dele
gates. elf this policy is followed, is now seems probable, by a majority of
the delegates the result, no matter which way it may be, will result in no
benefit, real or n paper, to ny one Of the candidates.
