! BALTIMORE, MD, June 24.-The
! first order of business at the Demo
cratic national convention will be a
/ determined attempt to put the scft
pedal on William Jennings Bryan.
To that end, a coterie of handy ST.
/ lences has been selected, and is work
ing earnestly with the arriving mem
bers of the national committee. The
plot is to take Mr.. Bryan in hand al
the earliest possible moment and do
what can be done toward eliminating
him as a dictator, which position, it is
claimed by many, he has assumed,
or, to be more explicit, he is endeav-
oring to retain.
! The fact is, Mr.. Bryan is still the
greatest individual force in the Demo
cratic party, and the further fact is
! that he knows it full well. Hence,
with no desire to become a secondary
force, and with no intention of relin-
quish either position or perrequis-
ties, he has protested against the Sc
temporary chairman of the conven-
! I1Ou, WHICH meets i uSSQdy.
! The situation has many resem-
blances to the situation in Chicago
just before the convention met there.
Mr. Roosevelt, who also had dictator
ship visions, protested against the Sc
lection of Senator Elihu Root as tenn
porary chairman.
Like Republican Fight.
The first fight in that convention
was on Root, but in that fight Roose>
welt and his men made their greatest
mistake. They went to Chicago de-
nouncing the so-called theft of many
delegates by the national committee
and claiming they would not abide by
convention containing those delegates.
Then, after losing, they abide by sew
eral decisions. Roosevelt's great
strength was to tie up the organiza-
tion of that convention or to bolt
right at the start. He could have taken
out his delegates and claimed to be as
much the regular Republican party as
the Taft men could be, for he was just
as regular as Taft while the conven-
tion was unorganized. However, as
soon as Root was named and the con-
Ivention was organized Taft became
the regular Republican and Roosevelt
was outside the breastworks.
Now at Baltimore, Mr. Bryan in

A SpR|NTING CALF

Little Fellow, a Small Negro,
Hanging to Its Tail, Dash

A calf. not over three feet high,
the absence of his mother, created a
mild reign of terror on Main street
late Saturday afternoon. The lit
tie animal was in a drove of cattle
enroute to execution, and on South
Sixth street it decided to run amuck
1t made a bee-line for Main street,
pursued by little colored boy, about
the same size of the calf. The young
ster by desperate spring, caught
hold of the calf's tail, and the calf
and boy shot into a crowded store,
Seventh and Main streets, like bolt
from an arrow. Wild excitement en-
sued until pursued and pursuer gained
the street again and headed east on
Main street. The spectacle of the
sprinting calf dragging the little ne
gro convulsed the crowds on the street
laughter when the calf ran under a
sedate farm horse, attached to a bug
gy in which sat two large country
women. The horse resented the liber-
ties taken by the calf, and with a
well directed kick landed the little
animal under the wagon, to the con-
sternation of it's two corpulent occu-
pants, who hurriedly disembarked. Mr..
Calf realized that the position he oc-
cupied was a perilous one and crawled
from under the buggy and started in
the general direction of the Bayer
bakery, pursued by the little negro.
On the sidewalk in front of the bak-
cry the crowd stopped the mad career
of the calf. which was petted and ca
ressed while rope was being placed
about its neck by the triumphant lit

phone messages from various counties
in the Third Oklahoma district say
place county tickets in the field since
the nomination of Taft. The Third
district was overwhelmingly for Col.
Roosevelt.
CHICAGO, June REORGANIZATION of
Col. Roosevelt's third party went on
apace today with the drawing up of a
ticket in half a dozen states and the
pledging of leaders to stick with the
former president Ito the finish"
Crowds and enthusiasm were
marked around the Colonel's headquar-
ters in the Congress hotel
Declarations by Governor Deneen
and Governor Hadley, the latter one of
the Colonels original seven, that each
would stick to the regular party, led
the Roosevelt progressive party organ
izers to determine to put Independent
nominees for governor in the field in
these two states.
In California, Kansas, West Virginia
and other states it was believed that
Roosevelt's strength was such that the
regular ticket could be thrown into the
Progressive party column.
At the conference the former presi-
dent impressed upon his followers the
point that the new party was not to
be the vehicle for "soreheads," but to
represent genuine progressive move.

The ex-president assured his back.

impressed upon his leaders that the
Progressive party may expect strong
alignment from the Democratic ranks

country.
While he is not banking on what

alert to the keen advantage he would
derive If the Democrats fail to put up

Roosevelt is promised the support OF
many influential, progressive Demo
crats-so it was said at his rooms
if the Baltimore convention picks a
retrogressive for it's candidate.
| The Roosevelt campaign is to be
managed by Governor Hiram Johnson
of California. Besides the governor
whose strength in the far west was the
impelling motive for putting him al
the helm, will be seven other progres

BALTIMORE, June 24-Tom Tag
CART of Indiana, and Roger Sullivan,
of Illinois. positively stated this morn
ing that Judge Alton B. Parker was
sure of 40 out of the SO votes of the
national committee for temporary
chairman With this prospect admit
ed on all sides, the opposition to Par
ker, headed by William Jennings Bry-
an, planned to carry the fight to the
convention floor.
Bryan himself admitted that he
would become candidate for tenn
porary chairman If such, a move be-
came necessary to defeat Parker.
A canvass of the prominent dele
gates already on the ground. indicated
a large probability that Parker's elec-
ton would fail of ratification in the
convention.
Wilson on first ballot" talk was by
far the loudest today.
The national committee went into
session at 1915 to decide seven
ty-eight delegate contests. None of
these came from Indiana. Illinois had
twenty-eight involved.
The contests were: District of Co
lumbia, 6 votes; Illinois, % votes;
Pennsylvania. votes; Porto Rico, ";
Texas, A. Rhode Island, 8; South Da-
kota, /; Vermont, s; Philippines. 6;
and Alaska votes.
William ]. Bryan decided just before
the committee met that he would not
appear before the national committee
to make his fight against Parker as
temporary chairman.
Friends of Bryan declared that the
steam roller had been brought from
Chicago, and it was decided to wait
until the convention meets before be-
ginning the fight. The announcement
of Bryan that he himself would be-
come a candidate for temporary chair
man was the principal sensation of the
day.
A mosterr demonstration for Champ
Clark, of Missouri, for the Democratic
presidential nomination, has been ar
ranged by his supporters here. The
demonstration will take the form of a
parade in which full 10000 people are
expected to be in line. The parade will
wind up at the convention hall a short
time before the convention is called to
order.
