SUGAR TRUST CAUGHT AGAIN
Hard to Understand, In the Face Of
Its Record, Why Democrats
Should Favor II.

So the sugar trust has been caught
with the goods again.!
Not long ago this saccharine rascal
was detected at the game of sys-
tematically robbing the custom house
by means of "doctored" scales. 1t
was pretty coarse work; but the swag
ran into several millions. as was dis
covered when the mechanical little
joker" in the scales at the docks was
detected. and the trust had to dis
gorge.
This time It is Father Knickerbock-
er. instead of Uncle Sam. who wakes
up and catches the trust at till tap
ping.
1t has been discovered. so a New
York paper says. that for years water
has been run through unmetered pipes
into the Brooklyn refineries, and the
trust again admits the case by agree
ing to arbitrato the city's s525. 900 bill
for city water.
Eternal vigilance seems to be the
price of not being robbed by the sugar
trust. and Deacon Rockefeller's organi.
zation is beginning TO look eminenty
respectable by comparison.
Why on earth Congressman Under
wood should consider 1t good politics
to oblige the sugar trust with that
free sugar bill beats us. Why. even
the fattest kind of a campaign fund
would not Offset the public roar
against the ebilli-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Opnnds Q) That the tax would not
o1nnd the test In court to which II
V1pld be subjected. and (2) the reve-
NJ provided for under It was but an
inmate.
David d. Hill led the fight against
the income tax, first upon the asser-
tioo that the Democratic party was
nne committed TO such a tax in time
- teace. and then upon the assertion
TIL the tax was unconstitutional.
And following these two contentious
Mr.. Hill said in substance to Mr.. Cor
nan: "If you include the income tax
N your bill as sure means OF reve-
nus. and the court throws out the tax.
yoar tariff bill will fail to support the
eovernment. and the party will pay
~ penalty next election day"
That very thing happened. The
0uprcme court. following the lines OF
the argument Mr.. Hill had made In a
tWoday speech In the senate, declared
the tax unconstitutional; and deprived
u that source OF revenue the treasury
ran behind under the Gorman.Wilson
bill. and the country took 1t out OF"
the Democratic party at the polls.
By his sugar schedule Mr.. Under
wood would release fifty-odd millions

"5RYAN TRAITOR TO ME AND
TO THE PARTY"-cLARK
Calls Nebraskan's Explanation Of Vote
Outrageous Asperson on Demo-
cratic Party and on Me-"

Baltimore, June 29.-After his con
ference with Mr.. Hearst, Senator
Stone, David R. Francis and others,
Speaker Clark issued the following
statement:
To-day in the national convention
an outrageous aspersion was cast upon
me and through me upon the Demo
cratic party by one who of all men
ought to be the last to besmudge or
betray his friends, or his party. So
far as l am personally concerned it is
enough to say that the charge which
reflects upon my personal or party
integrity is utterly and absolutely
false. might afford to forget myself,
but l am the choice of the Demo-
Garlic majority of the house of repre-
sentatives the ranking official Demo
crat in public life. l cannot be false
or corrupt without reflecting upon my
party in the most serious way.
ANY man who would enter into an
alliance with any selfish interest or
privileged class of this country to gain
the nomination for the presidency is
unworthy of the presidency and of the
speakership Of the house. If l have
not entered into such an alliance, then
the Democrat, however distinguished,
who wantonly charges me with the
act is traitor to the Democratic party
and to his protested friendship to me.
l am not here to plead for nomina-
ton or to attempt to influence any
mans political action. Let every man
proceed in this convention according
to his convictions and the expressed
will-of his constituents. I ask no undue
consideration from any man, be he
friend or foe, but l demand exact JUS
tice from every Democrat either in this
convention or throughout the nation.
With William ]. Bryan and his charge
made in the convention today, the is
sue is proof or retraction. 1 shall ex-
pect him to meet that issue.
(Signed) CHAMP CLARK"
At the hour the statement was IS
sued, 1:4O a. M, Mr.. Bryan had retir-
ed for the night, leaving word that he
was not to be disturbed.

BRYAN BALkS AT TAM.
MANY'S NEAR STAMPEDE
81 Won't Vote for Clark as LONG as
New York, Controlled by Murphy,
Does" He Says. "Are You a
Democrat" He Is Asked.

Baltimore, June 29.-Under the
guise Of explaining a change of vote
in the Nebraska delegation, VIM. j.
Bryan got another hearing in the Dem
ocratic national convention today and
again threw the delegates and specta-
tors into disorderly uproar.
Bryan, who under primary instruc-
tons, had been voting for Champ
Clark, announced that he would not
vote for him again while New York
was included in the Clark column. He
changed his vote to Woodrow Wilson,
but defiantly declared he would change
again If "Mr. Murphy" and 1.-THE
observation-disclosures crowd should
vote for Wilson.
Bryan was assailed from the floor
by many delegates who demanded
that his speech be stopped and by 9TH
ers who demanded to know if he
would support the nominee. Bryan said
he expected to do So" but he also ex-
pected the convention to nominate a
man without the support "of the In
terests."

BRYAN CALLED MARRIOTT
BY NEW YORKER
Nitrioic Speaker Ranks Nebraskan
With Morgan, Belmont and Ryan
Then Votes for Wilson.

Baltimore, July John B. Stanch-
field, New York delegate, spoke from
the platform explaining his vote and
championing New York as decisive
factor in Democracy.
Stanchfield declared that the integ-
rity of New York delegates had been
impugned and insulted and New York
had a right to be heard.
Stanchfield denounced Bryan as
"that bling, favor-hunting,
publicity-hunting marplot from Nebras-
ka."
Stanchfield's bitter characterization
of Bryan was received with cheers
mingled with some Kisses. The speak.
er maintained that the New York del
egation was the ablest ever sent to
q national convention.
"No man branded with Organism can
come within half a million Of carrying
New York." exclaimed Stanchfield,
amid cheers.
Stanchfield bitterly attacked Bryan
as one of the plutocrats whose name
should be linked with Morgan, Bel
mont and Ryan. ANY man who had
been writing for pay from the Chicago
Republican convention should be ex-
PEELED from this convention" he said.
"Mr. Bryan is opposed to any can
didate except Mr.. Bryan"
Stanchfield closed with announcing
his vote for Wilson.

was unalterable.
Senator Kern was turned to as rep.
resenting the progressive democracy"
and there was no nomination in oppo-
sition to him. His election was un-
animous.
Cautious advisers of the Nebraska
leader argued against his accepting the
Craftsmanship Of the resolutions COM
mittee on the ground that the attempt
to have him draft the platform is a
poorly concealed plot to commit him in
advance to the subsequent acts of the
convention and to any nominee willing
to accept what would be known as the
Bryan platform.
Mr.. Bryan himself 1t was said, was
loath to have anything to do with the
platform until he is sure who the
nominee will be. For that reason, il
was declared, he would advocate the
upsetting Of precedent and the naming
of a candidate before the platform is
written and adopted.

A weary, bedraggled, peevish aggre-

monotonous grind of Baltimore that
had continued from last Friday morn

the deadlock on presidential nomina-
ton was cast after an all-night session.
Almost full week of controversy
between rival factions had sorely tried
the patience and tempers of the dele
gates and the crowd which gathered
was ordinarily an irritable and excit-
able one. The tensity of the situation
had shown itself in semi-riot on the
floor during the afternoon when Will

the midst of half score Of fist fights.

nary vigilance in the future. The

last night match of offense, touched
to the exciteemnt, would have set the
entire convention ablaze.
1t was on this situation that many
leaders based hopes of final vote and
a nomination before the night was
over. They argued that the weary del
egates, tried by week of work, would
break from the hard and fast lines that
have been holding and throw enough
votes to one of the candidates to end
the agony of suspense. Others con-
tended that the situation made impos-
sible an agreeemnt on any one of the
candidates now before the convention.
They pointed to today's PHYSICAL clash
between the Clark and Wilson forces
as an evidence that the feeling was
so bitter that neither would allow
enough votes to go to the other to NOM

While Fatigued Candidates
Sought vainly to Adjourn
Quit at 12:43.

Baltimore, July 2.-The deadlock In
the Democratic national convention
over a presidential nomination seemed
more complicated than ever when ad.
journment was taken at 12:43 this
morning until noon today. Woodrow
Wilson had made steady gains during
Mondays baIIoting until he reached a
hlgh-water mark of 5o1Ia votes on the
thirty-nlnth ballot. He remained sta
tionary on the fortieth ballot and then
began to lose ground. The last bal
lot was the forty-second, when Cover
nor Wilson polIed 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the BAL
lot where Wilson reached a crest. He
went down to 422 votes at that time,
but Immediately began to pick up, and
had gone to 430 when adjournment
was taken.
The speaker came over to Baltimore
during the evening and was guest at
the home of Mayor Preston, near Con-
Vention hail.. He returned to WASH
ington shortly before midnight.
