UNDERWOOD IS MUCH ELATED
SPEAKER CLARK NOT so OVER.
JOYED AT BRYAN'S DEFEAT.
He Refuses to Comment On the
Ground He Has Already Talked
Too Much, Say Friends.

Washington, D. c., June 26.-Rep-
resentative Underwood appeared elat-
ed when told that Judge Parker had
defeated William J. Bryan for the
temporary Craftsmanship at Balti-
more. He would not comment on
the election.
Speaker Clark did not receive the
news in such good humor. ~
There is not a newspaper man in
America with ingenuity enough to
make me comment on the situation"
Speaker Clark said when told of
Judge Parker's election. my friends
tell me that l have talked too much
already"
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Underwood
occupying offices just acrSss the hall
from each other in the capitol, are
in frequent communication with Bal
timore.
Mr.. Clark's private secretary and
his son keep him advised of the de-
velopments. The strain appears to
be getting on the Speakers nerves.
Mr.. Underwood spent the day die
tating to his stenographer. He APP
pears to be confident that his man
ayers are handling his campaign to
the best possible advantage.

WADE REFUSES
GUARDIANSHIP
Iowan May be Made Head Of Com
mittee to Manage Campaign.
BRYAN TO DESERT PROF. WILSON
Reliably Reported That Iowa's Vote
Really Stood 11Ia For Bryan and
14La For Parker-Chairman Got
Tired and Called it Even.

Des Moines, June 26.-Special: A
special to an evening paper here from
Baltimore today says that Martin J.
Wade of Iowa City, member of the
national committee, today refused to
be permanent chairman of the nation
al convention after having been Sc
lected by the committee on perma-
nent organization.
1t is understood that Wade is to
be made chairman of the national
committee and will manage the cam
paign for the nominee.
Chairman Reed of the Iowa demo
cratic committee is the recipient of
many congratulations for the manner
in which he has looked after visiting
Iowans.
1t was announced today by Emmett
FINLEY, Iowa member of the resolu-
tions committee, that Iowa will pre-
sent no plank for consideration of
the committee.
1t leaked out today that the Iowa
vote was eleven and one-half for Bry-
an and fourteen and half for Par
ker. One of the members kept chang
ing his vote until Chairman Claude
Porter of the delegation became i'm
patient and somewhat ratified because
the secretary kept calling for the Iowa
vote, so he Just announced the vote
as evenly divided.
1t is reliably reported among Iowa
delegates that Bryan will desert Will
son and throw his strength to Clark
to prevent the nomination of some
eastern reactionary.
w. d. Jameson, of Shenandoah, is
the Clark man to fix it. If he sees
delegate that is wavering he i'm
mediately gets into taxicab, sees
the man and lines him up.
J. T. Jones of Des Moines is keep
ing Clark posted over the long dis
lance telephone on every move in
the convention.

Decide by Drawing Straws.

Des Moines, June 26.-Special:
Three ties for state representative
in as many different districts were
broken yesterday when the xecutive
council drew straws and declared
who should be the nominee from the
districts. The names were written
on slips of paper and put into a hat.
Then one member of the council
thrust his hand into the "lid" and
pulled out the name which was to be
that of the nominee. c. M. McKimm
on the prohibition ticket in Fayette
county received the nomination OF
his party in the district, according to
the draw. H. ]. Rowe, who was tied
with w. r. Doolittle on the democrat.
ic ticket in Polk county, was declared
the winner when the slip of paper
with his name was drawn from it.
w. J. Trexler of Floyd county, one
of the two candidates on the social
list ticket, drew the nomination from
that district This disposes of the
only ties in the primary election for
state representative.

whole train crew of the early evening
passenger train ON the Rock Island
road was last evening held at bay by
one blind baggage" passenger, Bob

to evict him from the train at Let's

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, June 90
The news that the governor would not
intervene with the Flynn-J ohnson
match was received with enthusiasm
by the people of Las Vegas.
The message came by telephone,
Mayor Tauport, to whom 1t was ad-
dressed, repeating 1t to two stenog'

A short time after the governor
hung up the receiver at the Santa Fe

were posted up in various parts of the
city and crowds gathered around to
read them and exchange congratula
lions.
The leading business men of the city
are financially interested in the fight
to the extent of $4,000, which would
have been forfeited II the bout had
been prohibited.

Boxes Not Full Size.

Dubuque, June 26.-Special: The
complaint of short measure in the
berry boxes being used by local fruit
growers continues to be heard on all
sides and 1t is not entirely improbable
that prosecutions will follow if the
growers continue to flagrantly violate
the laws of the state as to weights
and measures as it is claimed they
are doing. Howeve, 1t is stated that
many of the fruit growers are careful
to sell the box or crate rather than
by the quart which most people aatur-
ally suppose the boxes contain.

LITTLE WORK DONE
l ON THE PLATFORM.
No Tentative Draft as Yet Has
Been Made.
IT WILL BE PROGRESSIVE
Bryan Probably VIII Be Made Chair
man Of Committee on Resolutions
! Flight Over EnIargins Navy
Plank Promised.

Baltimore, Nd, June Ex-senator
Dubois, national manager of the Clark
campaign, said that no work has yet
been done on the platform by the
speakers supporters. so far as he was
aware.
Some Of our eastern friends" he
volunteered, have come to us since
our victory in the convention and told
us to 60 ahead and fix the platform to
suit ourselves. But we shall consult
carefully every shade of progressive
opinion before deciding definitely up
On any important planks."
Bryan Has No Outline.
William ]. Bryan said that he had
not drafted even the outline of any
plank he may submit to the platform
committee, of which he is a member
and may be chairman.
AS a matter Of fact very little work
thus far has been done toward putting
the platform in shape. That 1t will
ring out clearly as a progressive dec
laration there is no doubt in any quar-
ter.
There promises to be lively argu-
ment over the plank dealing with the
question of enlarging the navy. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of Alabama has
a plank that he will urge and which
embodies tersely his contention for
the strongest navy in the world. A
large number Of the members of the
committee are known to favor a plank
pledging at least two warships a year
Of the latest approved type.
The only reference to the initiative,
referendum and recall in the platform
probably will be a general indorse-
ment Of those progressive principles,
but pointing out that they are ques.
tons with which the states will have
to deal.
WIN Urge Primary Elections.
Primary elections will be strongly
urged, particularly for the election OF
delegates to national conventions and
for members Of congress. The Denver
plank on all the other progressive is
sues will be embodied in the new plat.
form, with probably some unimportant
changes Of phraseology merely to
make them clearer.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, is here
with planks on the labor question
which he will submit to the platform
committee. There is nothing in our
present plank that makes any essential
advance over the Denver platform, D
Gompers said. 1--WE shall ask simply
to clarity that plank on its most i'm
portant points"
The platform will contain a plain
strong Endorsement Of the Sherman
antitrust law. with demands that It
be strengthened where 1t has been
shown to be weak or inefficient The
party pledge on this subject promises
to be one Of the strongest and most
specific planks Of the platform.

city, and a representative of Cover
nor Johnson for the state.
President Moore responded for the
general federation. The programme
closed with the singing of America"
The council of the federation met
yesterday to consider proposed revis-
ions of bylaws. The plan of reorgan-
ization known as the Pennsylvania
plan, providing for upper and lower"
houses in the convention, was consid-
cred and the council determined
against its adoption. 1t also decided
against the change in the directorate
from fifteen to fifty and the same
course was adopted regarding the pro-
posed increase of vice-presidents
from two to five. Those reflections
will be reported to the federation.

was held during the afternoon. AT
the press conference, at which the
visiting newspaper women and those
of the San Francisco press joined in
the discussion. Mrs. Mcmahon, OF
Utah presided. Several of the speak
ers wittily criticised the manner in
which the women's pages in newspap
ers were conducted and the subjects
which were presented as mental food
for the readers. There were discus
sions also as to the proper treatment
of news and special features from the
women's point of view. The audi
ence was much amused at the criti
csms leveled at a leading women's
publication, whose features We're de
scribed as being too light and frothy
and We're far from the standard de
fmanded by women.
