New York Judge.

BALTIMORE, Md. June 22.-Judge
Alton b. Parker. named as temporary
chairman of the Democratic national
convention by a subcommittee OF the

the fight to stay and will not with
draw" said the secretary.
National Committeeman James Guffy.

tics"

CLARK ATTEMPTS
TO SOOTHE WRATH
OF COLONEL BRYAN
Speaker Sends Conciliatory
Telegram to Irate
Nebraskan.

II a soft answer turneth away wrath,
w. ]. Bryan's hard feeling against the
nomination OF Judge Parker for tenn
porary chairman at Baltimore will be
minimized by the conciliatory message
sent from Clark headquarters last night
In reply to Mr.. Bryan's telegram say
ing he would be glad to join with others
In opposing Judge Parker's selection.
Speaker Clark said: Have consulted
with committee having my interests in
charge, and agree with them that the
supreme consideration should be to pre-
vent any discord in the convention.
Friends of mine on the subcommittee
of arrangements have already presented
the name of Ollie James to the sub
committee. l believe that II all Join
in the interests of harmony in an ap-
peal to the entire national committee
to avoid controversies in matters of
orga nization that the committee will so
arrange as to leave the platform and
the nomination of candidates as the
only real issues on which delegates need
divide"
This does not meet the offer of Mr..
Bryan to oppose Parker although 1t Is
support for the plan of having the en-
tire national committee, rather than a
subcommittee, decide who shall be
porary chairman. This same national
committee, however, defeated Mr.:
Bryan last winter when he attempted
to have Colonel Guffey, national COM
mitteeman from Pennsylvania, elevated
over the transom.

Houn' Dawg Kicked
Around the World

BALTIMORE. June 12.-Around the
the world in eight months is the record
established by a papier-mache "houn'
dawg" just received at the Clark head
quarters from San Domingo. That the
dog is much travelled can be discovered
by one glance at the. manifold express
tags which literally cover this strange
globe trotter.
The canine is on exhibition at the
Clark headquarters in the Emerson II

mantelpiece in comfort until its owner
heard the "houn' dawg' song. A copy
OF the song and the dog, which has been
briefly and affectionately named Beau
champ, was sent to friend in Boston,
and the silent, but expressive, Clark
delegation was started on his Journey
From Boston the dog went to Europe,

den, Vienna, Constantinople, Bombay,
AZ Canton. in China, and at Manila
From Manila 1t jumped back to London.

In the Philippines, who delayed the trip
Tor two weeks before sending the houn'

in Washington.
Nobody seemed selfish enough to keep
the dog. although its tag-covered body
would have made a splendid souvenir
long ago.

PROGRESSNES Of.
BOTH PARTIES TO
JOIN HANDS SOON
Study of Bryan at Chicago
Leads to Only One
Conclusion.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Positively the
most interested man in the proceedings
Of the national convention this week
has been william Jennings Bryan. He
is here reporting the proceedings for a
number Of newspapers. Between times
he is taking advantage of what he
learns here to help his progressive Dem
ocratic friends at Baltimore organize
fight against having the Democratic
party turned over to the bosses exactly
as the Republican party has been seized
by them here.
Mr.. Bryan is among those who fore
see that II both parties go reactionary,
In this tuncture, with public opinion in
revolt against such Leadership and pur-
poses, third candidate will be pretty
certain of election. He has given warn
ing In his writings and in his COM
munications with the leaders who are
already on hand at Baltimore. and will
leave for that city the instant his news
paper contracts here will permit him to
plunge into the thick of the fray. The
parallel between Chicago and Baltimore
has excited endless comment today and
yesterday.
The national committee at Baltimore
has signIfed its allegiance to the re-
dictionaries BY the selection of Alton B.
Parker for temporary chairman, and
Mr.. Bryan Is leading a protest against
the course which this implies, just as
Colonel Roosevelt led II in Chicago.
That the time Is ripe for a new align
ment, and that in the fusing and re-
CrystaliZation of elements the progress
sives will get together on one side and
the reactionaries on the other. is the
tions that have developed in both con-
Vention cities

New Yorker Sees
Chance for Gaynor

BALTIMORE. June % - That the
chances Of Mayor Gaynor TO be nomi-
mated are excellent. and that he would
make a good man to head the ticket,
was stated today by Joseph Johnson
nre commissioner of New York city
Commissioner Johnson arrived in Bal
timore yesterday. and will remain until
after the convention. He did not care
to do any boosting, because he said the
public would take II is a natural thing
FOR him to speak well of the mayor be-
cause he holds office under him
Commissioner Johnson said, however,
that he has just returned from a trip
through the South, where he has been
spending his vacation, and finds that
there is an underlying feeling for the
mayor. He says that Mayor Gaynor Is
the logical man from all points, and
that IL the other men fail to nominate
their men, the only one to turn to is
the New York mayor.
What do YOU think the New York
delegation will do?" he was asked.
Il think thev will vote for Gaynor
first and on every ballot as long as
there Is a chance for his nomination.
They must vote as unit, and as the
majority votes the entire delegation Will
vote"
What will thev do II Gaynor has no
chance after the first few ballots?'
Il don't know, and l don't think tho
delegation itself knows. In fact l don
think they have made up their minds
and will not make them up until after
they get here and the actual balloting
begins"

Hadley and Kenyon
Are FaVOriteS Here

Reports from Chicago that the Taft
managers had about decided to name
Governor Hadley OF Missouri. or Sen
ator Kenyon of Iowa as running mate
with the President, caused little COM
ment at the White House today.
1t Is known the President some days
ago let 1t be known he would leave the
selection of a Vice President to the
convention for decision.
Today It was announced by advisers
close to Mr.. Taft that he would have no
objection to having Governor Hadley
as his running mate 1t Is pointed out
that the President and the young Mis-
souri, governor became very intimate
several months ago, when Mr.. Taft
toured Missouri. At Sedalia they played
golf together, and were frequently
seen together thereafter.
1t Is recalled that while out walking
the President had his arm about Gov
ernor Hadley's shoulder.
rs. X one of ths ny
the first Republican governor of Mis-
souri, since the civil war. Coming from
pivotal State. it Is pointed out. he
would make a strong candidate for the
Vice Presidency.
Senator Kenyon also Is a strong pro-
pressive and several months ago won
his election to the United States Senate
by a splendid majority. when he de.
feated Lafayette Young. acknowledged
reactionary leader of Iowa. Senator
Kenyon was one Of the leading foes of
reciprocity when that measure was be-
fore Congress last year.
Should william Barnes, Of New York,
decide to throw his ninety votes to
Vice President Sherman for renomina-
ton, an interesting situation will be
created at the coliseum. Up to late
hour this afternoon II was not known
in Washington just where Boss
Barnes stands. In certain quarters the
statement is made that he may side
track Sherman to shelve Hadley by
naming him for the Vive Presidency.
The demonstration accorded Hadley on
various occasions in the convention, by
all factions of the G. o. P. has alarmed
the reactionaries, and 1t would not be
surprising to politicians here to see
Hadley eliminated as a dangerous fac
tor by giving him Vice President Sher-
toan'S nlacp

Convention Tickets
In Big Hotel Safe

BALTIMORE. June 22.-In the big
safe at the Belvedere are bolted and
locked the convention tickets, clam
ored for by thousands and valuable
beyond gold and silver to those who
get them.
Just 1000 Of these precious paste
board cards have been placed at the
disposal of Chairman Robert Grain,
chairman of the convention commit
tee, according to National Commit
teeman Thomas Taggert. Mr.. Grain
has announced repeatedly that all he
gets will go only to the contributors
to the 100000 fund and to the most
active of his assistants.
Congressman J. Fred c. Talbot. ma
tional committeeman from Maryland.
is the only other Marylander said to
have the power of distributing these
tickets. His allotment has not vet
been made and he is not anxious
about It, He has had worries enough
over those things, lighting his way
continually through hosts Of besieR-
ing ticket beggars. He has no love
for his powers of patronage.
Not until Monday or Tuesday wifi
the tickets be distributed to the 49,
600 or $4,000 fortunates who will get
seats in the convention hall. Even
then every precaution will be taken
70 keep them out OF the clutches of
the takers, spectators and counter
feiters. Colonel Martin says that
none will be on sale at side street
shops for $40 and SIS apiece, as re =
ported In Chicago.

Hotel:
"Mr. Roosevelts name will not go
before the convention today. The
plan for his nomination by the third
party will be made at the conference
to which I am now going. 1t is pos
sible that the nomination may be
made in Chicago tonight. but am in
clined to the view that 1t will be de-
ferred until August, and that Denver
will be selected as the place for its
making"

HENRY ARRIVES IN
BALTIMORE, AND
WILL HELP BRYAN
Texas Congressman Wants
Progressive for Tenn
porary Chairman.

BALTIMORE, June 22.-Congressman
Henry Of Texas has arrived in Balti-
more and assumed charge of the Bryan
fight for a progressive candidate for
temporary chairman of the convention.
He is a strong Wilson man and is
one of the warmest friends Mr.. Bryan
has In Congress. He is convinced that
the Nebraskan Is not a candidate for
the nomination, and that he does not
want 1t. Otherwise he would be for
Bryan.
He Is committed to the cause of Gov
ernor wilson, and will be one of the
leaders in the Wilson fight for the nom-
nation.
Mr.. Henry is unaltersbly opposed to
the selection of Judge Parker for the
temporary chairman of the convention
and will carry the fight against him
to the floor of the convention, II the full
committee decides to stand by the plu-
rality vote selection Of Judge Parker
by the subcommittee on arrangements
He was one of those voted foS by the
Wilson men on the subcommittee for
temporary chairmanship.
In speaking of the selection of Judge
Parker he said:
This Is not personal fight of mine,
but contest for progressive Demo-
CTdtlc principles. Inc progressives can
not and will not agree to the selection
OF Judge Parker, known reactionary,
for temporary chairman to preside over
q convention In which very large ma
1ority Of the delegates are genuinely
progressive.
Progressives have won their fight in
the Democratic party and must control
the organization and the convention
We will not support Judge Parker, but
Will fight his selection before the full
committee, and II necessary carry the
contest into the convention.
1T may be stated to a certainty that
an overwhelming progressive ma ajority
Will not tolerate a reactionary making
the keynote speech after he and those
agreeing with him have lost in the pri.
maries and the conventions
Mr.. Bryan Is all right and ! shall be
found fighting in the front with him"
That fairly states the attitude of the
Wilson men. The statement was made
after Mr.. Henry had been in conference
with a number Of Wilson leaders in
cluding Willard Salisbury, nationa
committeeman from Delaware: Judge
Cato Sells, national committeeman-elect
from Texas; Judge Hudspeth, national
committeeman from New Jersey, and
others OF the Wilson legions.

zee of the Democratic party in Ohio

mon when he arrived at the Belvedere

pect of victory for Harmon in the fight
for the Democratic nomination for
President and believes that he is gain
ing friends every day. He regards the
Ohio governor as one of the progress
sve candidates who will thoroughly
satisfy the people at large.
In appearance Mr.. Cox does net look
more than thirty-fiVe years old, al
though he is forty-four. He Is smooth
shaven and that helps him to look
youthful.

"DRIVE ROUGH SHOD,"
DECLARES WATSON
Indiana Man Wants Convention
Work Wound Up In
Hurry.

CHICAGO. June 22.-"'The time has
come when we must take things in
hand ana drive them through. We
didn't come up here for fun
These were the words of former Con-
grcssman Jim Watson of Indiana, as
he surveyed the situation this morning
from the lobby of his hotel and talked
about the prospects Of winding things
up today.
He declared the program of nominat-
ing President Taft would be forced
through that in spite of all the talk and
comforting and pow-wowing on the sub
ject of third man 1t was impossible to
deliver the Taft vote to any other man
and that Taft would be renominated on
first ballot.
The program today is to cut every
thing to the bone. The debate will be
boiled down to the lowest notch. Only
two roll calls are expected on contests
unless they are forced by some of the
discontented the discussion of the plat
form will not exceed two hours and the
hope is to reach the nominations late
