CLARK IN LEAD ON FIRST BALLOT
FRAMED FOR THE
DEMOCRATS MAY WIN over
SUPPORT ROOSEVELT FORCE

Baltimore, June 2S.-The PLATFORM
builders are at work again this morn
ing, only. however. for the purpose
Of correcting such imperfecuons as
may be discovered.
Exceptional care has been exercised
to guard the platform so a single plank
shall not be known before presenta-
tion to the convention. However, some
OF its declarations have become famil-
lar TO frequenters of the committees
precincts.
UNIT on PROGRESSIVISM.
1t is said the committee is a unit
in support of the progressive idea
and efforts have been made to have
the platform express the very foremost
thought of modern democracy. An eff
fort has been made to frame the
platform so as to appeal to republican
progressives in the hope that many Of
them may be won over. and, indeed,
on the part of some. that Roosevelt
may be induced to abandon his furth-
er presidential ambitions and join the
democrats in bringing about results
on which they declare his views are
| in accord with their own.
FOR DENVER LABOR PLANK.
! With these purposes in mind old
time democratic doctrines will be so
extended as to cover many fields. The
Denver labor plank will be repeated,
though in fewer words. Mississippi
river improvements will be favored
but under federal control
POSITIVE on TARIFF.
There will be a positive declaration
for tariff revision downwards on a
basis of tariff for revenue only, but
the opinion will he expressed that re-
ductions be made gradually. An effort
will be made to demonstrate that the
republican policy Of protection is re-
sponsible for the high cost of living.
ALDRICH PLAN DENOUNCED.
The Aldrich plan revising finances
is denounced on the theory that it
would place the issuance and control
of one business corporation. Il also
declares finances can be revised with
out Aldrich's suggested central re-
serve plan.
WOULD PROTECT BANKS.
! At the same time the committee
would recognize the necessity of pro-
tecting banks and their customers
against conditions which arose in
1907. They believe this can be done
by a distribution of government
funds throughout the country in 8
, way to make them available in case
of monetary disturbance.
ONE TERM FOR PRESIDENT.
, The tendency of the committee is
said to favor such amendments of the
, antitrust law as will render statutes
so unequivocal as to leave no excuse
for failure TO enforce provisions for
criminal prosecutions against those
back of the trusts.
There will be a declaration for one
term for the president
FOR PRIMARY ELECTION.
, Members of the full committee on
resolutions at a meeting this afternoon
] submitted several new planks. Among
those accepted was one declaring for
: free passage through the Panama
. canal of American ships engaged in
coatstwise trade. An inheritance tax
woman suffrage, and the initiative and
n referendum went out as matters fol
d state control Strong declarations fol
q direct legislation and for a primary
-, election were inserted.

the democratic convention reached the
first ballot on the presidential nomina-
ton shortly before this morning.

BRYAN VOTE DISAPPOINTS.
AS was expected. Clark led all 9th
ers. Bryan got one vote from the
Ohio delegation. Some of his friends
had expected he would receive more
scattering votes. but the fact that he
did not show any strength whatever

them. They still felt that in the event
of a deadlock-whiChe early today seem
ed more than probable-Bryan might
be turned TO again to lead his party in
the presidential race
