yentiOn who is not aware that an ef- fort is being made to sell the Demo. cratic party into bondage to predatory interests.
 s'This is the most brazen, most im- prudent attempt ever made in the his. tory of American politics to dominate a convention, stifle the peoples will and make the party's nominee the bond slave of the men who exploit the people.
 ''If this convention is to he run by these men, if the nominee is to be q man who is controlled by these men, pray you to give us an opportunity to record our protests against such con- ditiOns.
 "If any of you want nominee who represents these men and these inter- ests, you must take the responsibility of such nominee. refuse.

 Bryan Starts Trouble.
 Then Bryan dropped his bomb into the hall. Bryans resolutions:
 "Resolved, That in this crisis in our party's career and in that of our coun- try's history, this convention sends greetings to the people of the United States and assures that that the party of Jefferson and Jackson is still the party of popular government and as proof of our fidelity to the people, we thereby declare ourselves opposed to the nomination of any candidate for President who represents or who is under obligations to J. P. Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont or any of the privilege hunting or fayor- ite seeking class.
 "Be it, Further Resolved, We de- mand the withdrawal of any delegate constituting or representing the above named interests
 There was an explosion. After much disorder Bryan got his way and spoke on his resolution.
 It was q direct personal attack on the three men, Morgan, Ryan and Bell mont. There was disorder at the end of every period. As soon as he had the crowd quieted the disorder ceased and the crowd broke into cheers.
 The orator surpassed himself. Ry- an, Belmont and Murphy sat quiet and unmOyed.
 Bryan spoke as follows, in part:
 s.This is an extraordinary resOlu. tioD, but extraordinary conditions need extraordinary remedies.
 "We are now in convention to nom. mate our candidates for President and Vice President. I believe that every delegate here desires to nominate can. didates who can and will win. In order to advance the cause of our can. didate present this resolution.

Tariff For Revenue Only One of the Important
 Planks.
FOR MONEY REFORM
Recommends Direct iLegislntion By l"te or Inc reoplo. Delegates
 Express Their Satisfaction

Baltimore, June 27.-A Progressive Bryan platform was adopted by the subcommittee of eleven members from the Resolutions Committee of the Democratic National Convention to- night. lt was clean victory for Will liam Jennings Bryan. He was given full lee-Way. There was no friction, The Commoner dominated. He wrote the most important blanks, the tariff and the currency reform blanks The most important feature is the recommendation for tariff for revenue 1 only
 The first section of the resolution recommended to Congress the chang ing of the constitution, making a president ineligible for second term, leaving the length of one term to be fixed by that body.
 Another important plank was the recommendation for direct legislation by the vote of the people. This is the
  line of the initiative, referendum and the recall, but not so radical, and is considered one of the blanks which will appeal to the people,
 When the committee broke broke up A. M. Cookery, of Missouri, one of the l Progressives, was vastly pleased when i he appeared. "It is a good Demo- cratic platform and it is progressive,I he declared. "I would never have voted for it if it had not declared for tariff for revenue only.'
 c. P. J. Mooney, member from Tennessee, said: This is very pro- gressiye platform. It was passed up- on by the subcommittee without fric- 1 tion and with few changes. Instead of Mr. Bryan being radical, it was ne- cessary for him to hold down num- Der of the men on that committee

a delegate and Virginia demands the withdrawal of Mir. Ryan, l will then withdraw the last part of my resOlu. tiOns, which demands the withdrawal of these men from the convention as delegates. l will not withdraw the first part of the resolution, which de. mands that our candidate shall be free.'
 Congressman H. B Flood, of Vir- e:na, interposed a question. He said:
 "1n the name of the sovereign State of Virginia, l accept the proposition made by the only man in this conven- ton who dare make it.''
 Bryan Sentiment.
 A mild cheer greeted Flood. This was more bitter fighting than was ex- pected. It was fighting to the death. Again and again the disorder broke loose.
 Bryan himself stood up as the Vir- ginia delegates gathered around him.
 The audience went clear beyond con- trol. Delegates by the hundreds were on their chairs. No one knew what was coming. The New York delega- tion was on it's feet.

Vardaman, of Mississippi, emerged from the chaos. He dominated the hall, but the excitement continued. Vardaman preached moderation. He approved the first part of the resolu- tion, but objected to any opposition to the right of the states to select their own delegates.
 Governor William A. Mccorkle. of West Virginia, got the platform for Morgan, Ryan and Belmont. His plea was for harmony so that victory would be assured in November
 Louis Nixon appeared for New York, but the chairman declared the debate at an end and ordered the roll call, announcing that it required a two thirds vote to pass it. The motion was to suspend the rules and pass the resolution, and it was then voted upon, and roll call ordered.
 The motion was carried. The official vote was S89 1-2 years, 1S0 noes.
 The result of the vote was greeted with some feeble cheering There was no enthusiasm.
 Without delay the nominations for President were called for.

is a Democrat and from the First District of New York He was not present when Bryan slashed him with the others as a curse to the party.
 The whole matter was almost stunning surprise. Only Bryan's most intimate friends knew what was coming. Delegates, alternates and visitors had settled down to hear the usual nominating speeches. There was a cheer when Bryan came in be- fore the call to order and took the most prominent seat on the platform' but few feet from the gallery, where Mrs. Taft looked and listened.
 Hardly was the prayer ended when he stood up and was recogn zed by his strong and vicious voice making each word tell, pausing after each name J. P. Morgan, Thomas Ryaf and August Belmont, he seemed to frame the very men themselves and display them to the audience. There was a hiss and venom in his enuncia- tion.

All kinds of noise-making instruments added te tbe din. Bands filled the streets and brought down marching armies under tho banners of all the candidates. Every faction was making it's last sunreme effort at noise. When Will liam Jennings Bryan took his seat on the platform at five minutes to elgn' the thousands rose and cheered.

water in yOar ditch. Your decree calls
for 100 cubic second feet. You cannot
use that extra nety feet Of water AMI
We can. We will purchase it fron,
you.'
The promoters get the excess water
and lawsuit. Whether the pro
moters win or not, they have = nueleu,
for fine promotion scheme. They
send out literature telling how they
purchased an Old water right and they
prove their purchase. The victims pay
for the lawsuit. IL the suit is won.
they may or may not have something
tangible to show for their investment !;
if the suit is lost, they have nothing.
'Then comes the question of Other ,
on the stream, of men with Junior right,
who have been using that ninety cxt e
sec0ndfeet of water because it has not
been used by the man owning the orig
inal decree. The water is taken from
them and their land depreciates in val
ue because they cannot get sufficient
water for it.
'Under present laws these men can
not plead abandonment of the water
for acertain number of years; there
is no redress for them in that direction.
They must bring a suit in equity, whic h
usually gives them half a loaf instead
of the whole one which should be theirs
by virtue of their development of the
country and their long use of the water
which otherwise was running to waste.
''This feature of the law should be
changed by legisla ton. The abandon
ment Of water owned by an early de-
cree, or the inability Of the owner of
that decree to use it on the land for
which it rigins'ly was ceded should
be sufficient cause for the cancellation
Of the decree and the issuance of one of
the same date as to rights, apportioning
the water as it should be apportioned.
81 ana not enough Of lawyer to
draft the measure l think should be in
troduced, but I shall get an attorney
versei in irrigation laws to aid me. I
find that when law is prepared it is
easy to get it introduced and consid-
cred, while if only suggestion is made
there are few who will trouble to draft
the bill and introduce it..

A NEW SCHEME

According to Grand Junction it";a
in the Denver Times plans to sell
Grand valley spuds in the same manner
as the famous Grand valley fruit are
being worked out by W. 8. Wallace
and Rohert Wi son, well known potato
growers in that city.
The scheme is to grade, sort and
wrap the potatoes, just as peaches ami
pears are handled now. After invest
CATION these experts have come to the
conclusion that there is q waste of
fully one-third in the present method
Of handling potatoes while the depre-
citation in market prices is almost as
great.
The fancy stock is to be graded as
to size, and the potatoes will be sold
in varieties, for baking, for boiling, for
frying, for potato chips, and in dozen
ways, 70 that large hotels will know
just what they are buying when they
eet . Grasd valley sped.
The fst experiment with graded Po-
tatoes was made this year, a.i ore ear
WAS seat to eastern markets. TAis ear
topped all other potatoes BY fully 1s
