Bryan refused the Craftsmanship in a
speech which he said he was mot in
sympathy with forces who appear to be
directing the trend of political events in
the party and he was not sure he
could support the committees platform.
He said that unless the platform en-
braced his ideas of true progress he
would submit a minority report to the
convention. Not content to abandon
their harmony program without further
effort the committee turned the matter
over to Senators Rayner, O'Gorman
and Culberson, who held an earnest
discussion with Mr.. Bryan in a corner
of the room. Mr.. Bryan said his posi-
ton was unalterable.
Senator Kern was turned to as repre-
senting the progressive democracy
and there was no nomination in oppo-
Sition to him. His election was unani-
nous AS soon as the committee organ
lied Mr.. Bryan moved that tie preSen-
tation of the platform be deferred until
after the convention had nominated a
candidate for president. Senator Ray

nor seconded the proposition. He spoke
at some length urging a progressive
platform and particularly in reference
to the tariff and direct election of sem
ators on which planks there was found
to be a division of sentiment The
proposal would have to go to the con-
vention if approved by the committee.

ALL FAVOR HILLES.

Washington, June 26.-Leaders in
strumental in renominating Taft to-
day talked with the president in favor
of the selection of Charles d. Hilles,
his secretary, As chairman of the Re-
publican national committee and ac-
tive manager of the Taft campaign.
The president, it is said, will not for
maIly announce his preference for Mr..
Hilles until the latter returns from
Chicago and had signified his willing
ness to take up the work.
Talk of Representative Mckinley of
Illinois. the preconvention manager of
the Taft forces, has been frowned upon
by Mr.. Mckinley himself.

convention.
The convention agreed to meet at
s O'Clock tonight to take up the prob
lem of permanent organization, re-
ceive the reports of the credentials
committee and possibly begin the
nominating speeches of presidential
candidates. 1t had been decided at
the request of Mr.. Bryan to defer the
drawing of a platform until after the
nominations. Senator Ollie James Of
Kentucky had been agreed upon for
permanent chairman of the conven-
ton and it was expected at tonight's
the permanent organization.
With but a scattering attendance on
the floor at 11:30 haze of heat
seemed to fill the big building and
give promise of a sweltering day.
Floor and galleries decided on
negligee and coats were removed as
soon as the delegates struck the close
atmosphere of the hall. Hundreds of
palm leaf fans fIuttered throughout
the building. Warned by the disorder
OF yesterday Sergeant-at-Arms Martin
marshaled a squad of policemen and
posted them in the galleries with or
ders to eject any one creating a dis
turbance.
Called to Order.
At 1921 Chairman Parker pounded
his desk with the gavel, and the ser
geant-at-arms aided by the police set
cut to clear the aisles. Slowly the
confusion subsided and the conven-
ton got under way.

Weather Is Warm.

For the first time since the forepart
of June normal temperatures are be-
ing recorded by the local government
observer today. The mercury hovered
around the 80 degrees point this af-
ternoon. The wind is a southwest one
and very sluggish-four miles an hour.
The indications point to generally fair
weather in the next "A hours. The

Bishop Murray offered prayer.
When the prayer was concluded
Governor Blanchard of Louisiana re-
ported the credentials committee
would not be ready to report until
p m. He said he would not make a
motion to adjourn until that time
however, as he was sure the delegates
would like "a little oratory." Former
Governor Joseph w. Folk of Missouri,
was the first speaker.
The nominee of this convention
will be the next president of the
United States,'' he said. He eu1ogized
Bryan at length but the delegates grew
restless and Chairman Parker ad-

Mr.. Bryan'S motion that the preSen-
tation of a platform be deferred until
after nominations by the convention
was carried Al to 9. The committee will
recommend this action to the conven-
ton and adjourned until the convention
should determine the matter.
Bryan Gives His Reasons.
I'VE do not want and must not have
a perpetual debate between the can
didates and the platform" said Mr..
poning action on the platform until
after the nomination of the candidate
and he continued: THE only way to
prevent such a result is to name your
man first. Indeed" he went on, ''in
these days the man is the platform
The candidate, he argued should
have an opportunity to talk about the
platform in advance of it's making
rather than to feel impelled to talk
against it afterward. Senator Clark
of Arkansas, opposed the change as
reversal of all precedentS but was
antagonized by Senator Rayner of
Maryland who, taking sides with Mr..
Bryan said the time had come for
overthrowfng undesirable precedentS.
In refusing to accept the chairman
ship Mr.. Bryan said:
Il appreciate the compliment but
1 am not willing to act as chairman.
am believer in harmony but think
the committee and it's officers ought
to be in harmony with the conven-
ton and l am not in harmony with
the organization of the convention nor
with the committee which controls the
organization of the convention.
I'VE used to have two kinds of
Democrats progressives and conserva-
tiveS. We now only have one kind,
progressive, but we find there is a
wide difference in the definition of
the word progressive and I do not
define progressiveness as it is defined
by a majority of this convention and
believing in harmon / want to be in
harmony with the convention and 1
desire to be more free to represent the
minority sentiment. I do not say that
there will be a minority report, but
it would not look well for the chair
man of the committee to take in a
minority report 1t may be necessary
for me to take in a minority report.
1 do not know that it will, but / do
not want to place myself in that awk-
ward position and for that reason 1
decline"
Rules Committee Agrees.
Baltimore, June 26.-By a vote of
% to 16 the rules committee agreed
to the plan to defer the presentation
of the platform until after the party's
candidate for president had been
nominated. In the absence of any
true indication as to whether the con-
servative or the progressive wings
would dominate the convention, it was
considered good policy to hold back
the platform to have it drawn so as
to be acceptable to the convention.

Bears Admit the Facts.

Explanations of the strength were not
needed IN view Of the big crops that even
the most disgruntled bear now admits
are an achieved fact. But Wall street
is getting tired Of hearing about the
crops. and talked today OF the Steel earn
ings for the current quarter, The claim
Is made that at the rate business is grow
ing, the big corporation will have $780,
100000 net this quarter and possibly
thirty-five or even forty in the final
quarter of the year. But professional
Wall street has been so bearish that now
1t has seen the light 1t may become too
optimistic.
Big men in the copper business believe
1t is impossible to be too optimistic, and
where ten OF them meet about a board
1t Is pretty certain that they will make
predictions OF a record output and con-
sumption Of copper metal for the coming
year. Copper metal is now being sold
at IS cents a pound and the demand Is
good at that price, although publicly the
quotation OF 172 cents Is maintained,
The advance Of copper stocks is based
upon the actual condition OF the metal
market, and IL the steel trade Is all that
reputable experts claim II is, then the
