Vadaman Proposes that He Stand for
 Permanent Chairman.

Baltimore, June 23.-Senator- elect Vardaman after conference with Clark Howell of Georgia and others, tonight Unsuccessfully sought to have W. J. Bryan named as permanent chairman of the democratic convention. Varda- man has authoritatively learned from Chairman Mack of the national com mittee that Judge ParlSer's friends would vote for Bryan for permanent chairman.
 The effort mas mad as an attempt- ed solution of the temporary chair manship problem, Vardsman went to Bryand and tried to effect d compro- mise on the temporary chairmanship by informing the Nebraslln leader that all of Judge Parker's friends had agreed and were ready to carry out the plan to name Bryan as permanent chairman.

Colonel Roosevelt, will decide upon the membership of the committee of seven and guide the preliminary work of or ganization. Colonel Roosevelt will leave for Oyster Bay tomorrow afternoon and Governor Johnson will return at once to California, but they will keep n communication with each other.
 Today's meeting was held in the headquarters of the national Roosevelt committee under the direction of the most prominent Roosevelt supporters who had not left town. Seated at a table with Governor Johnson were Mr. Garfield, Clifford Pinchot, Governor Stubbs of Kansas, Medill Mccormick Of Chicago and Senator Clapp of Min nesota. Scattered through the hall were a large number of Roosevelt dele gates to the republican national con yention as well as some of the steam roller delegates to whom seats were refused. It was impossible to ascer- tain how large a proportion of the full Roosevelt strength at the convention was represented, although it was said that nearly every state which sent Roosevelt delegates to Chicago had its share of men there.
 Bardanna Handkerchief the Battle
 Flag.
 The bandanna handkerchief was made the Roosevelt battle flag" Most of the delegates wore flaming bandan- mas tied around their arms and others were distributed by the hundreds to the crowd. The bandanna, it was ex- plained. stands for the plain people who ordinarily use them.
 We're all plain people here, and this is g movement of the plain people" said one of the delegates.
 Colonel Roosevelt gave his sanction i. to the "battle flag" by appearing last night with one in his hand, which he waved to the crowd on the street. His daughter, Mrs. Longworth, wore a ban dauna on her hat.
 Scattered through the hall were a large number of Roosevelt delegates to the republican convention.
 T am not acting as the leader of this movement said Governor John son, when the meeting of delegates had been called to order. The active lead sr must be a man from a more accessl- ble state than California. I am mere ly acting as chairman of this meeting, at which we are to begin on the road which leads to political freedom"

 Dr. W. H. Nixon of Selma, Ala, a negro clergyman and a Roosevelt dele gate, who was excluded from the re- publican convention, began to recite the Psalm which begins "The Lord is my shepherd The delegates arose and I repeated it with him. A prayer by Dr. Nixon followed. Someone began to sing America and in a moment the others were singing.

Governor Suggests That "Pcerlsra
 one's" Agitation is Unwise.
 New Haven, Conn, June 23--Gover- nor Simeon E. Baldwin yesterday send the following 70 Col. William J. Bryan in reply to the latter's appeal that the governor oppose Alton B. Parker as temporary chairman of the Baltimore convention:
 New Haven, Conn, June 22, i9la Hon. William J. Bryan. Chicago, llL
 Replying to your telegram forwarded from Hartford, it does not seem Co ma that the course you suggest would pros mote harmony at Baltimore.
 The republican party has beon visi- ply destroying itself at Chicago. The storm center has been the action of it'd national committed in planning for the organization of its convention. l should regard it as unwise to agitate a sinni- lar cause Of difference respecting ao- ton of the democratic national com@ mittee.
 The democratic party of the United States stands for three things.
 1-Opposition to grants or special privileges to special interests
 2-Opposition to ceutralizatfon of power at Washington by encruach- ments on the rightful spheres 5f thd states
 3-EcOnomy fin public expenditures.
 All those who believe that these principles should be steadfastly maiD- tained belong in the democratic party.
 No party can expect or deserve shc- cess in the conduct of national affairs which is not broad enough t0 comprs- bend many who differ widely in their views on minor points. It will have a right wing a left wing and center. all coordinate parts of one and tho same political body.
 The democratic party stands united on the cardinal points above stated. f. has chosen @ national committee with power to arrange for lts national con- vention. I appeal Co you as the greas leader for whom 1 have cast my vote in former presidential campaigns, as | one agreeing with you on those points, ] though differing from you as to sons |, others to use your commanding indu- l ence to secure harmony at Baltimore. not by opposing the choice Of any pare | ticular individual as chairman of tha convention. but rather In the line 1l emphasizing points Of agreement in- stead of points of difference ] am for | leaving the national committee Co act | on the recommendation or tho subs l committee as they may think morf wise. Let the republicans enjoy a | monopoly Of pre-conventlon personals 1 ties.
