How the Candidates
Are Lined Up.
Interest in the candidates for the
presidential nomination was two-fold
today. In addition to their r.ice for
party leadership, there was much spec
ulation as tn the part they would play
In the Bryan-Parker tight.
Supporters of Champ Clark, of Mis
souri. according to statements of hl»
lieutenants, have been h ft free to take
what part they choose in the skirmish.
The Bryan men will support the man
from Lincoln. The anti - Bryan-Clark
supporters will aid the backers <>.’
Parker.
Woodrow Wilson has taken a definite
stand, saying that the progressive must
sound the keynote. He rates Parker as
a conservative, and his followers will
take sides against the men from Esopus.
The other*—-Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio, Oscar Underwood of Ala-
bama and Thomas R. Marshall of In
diana have taken sides In the con
troversy.
In the matter of candidates, the field
is rich. Today the New York delega

HO MOVE IS MADE
FOR GA. PHIMARt
Politicians generally throughout
Georgia are wondering when tlie state
Democratic committee is to meet and
say what sort of primary the party is
to have this year, and when.
Several weeks ago. it was semi-ofli
cially announced" that the committee
would meet "on or about June 22.” and
that it would call a primary "on or
about August 20."
The "on or about June 22" lias ar
rived. and Is mostly gone, and still no
committee \ has met. and no primary
has been ordered.
At least one member of the commit
tee came to Atlanta today, expecting
the committee to meet, but there was
nothing dong.
Tlie latest word from <'hairman
W right is that the committee will meet
"some time in July."
Primary Near at Hand.
Tlie primary can hardly be more than
two months off in any event, it can
not t>e mole than tin days ahead of the
regular election, which is fixed by law
for October, although It may be less
II could come in September, but the
usual rule has ben to (all it approxi
mately 60 days ahead of the regular
election.
Great interest is fell by politicians
generally as to whether the commit
tee will <al| a popular pluralltj or t
county unit primary. The general Im
pression is that it will call a county
unit primary .ill along the line, although
an effort will he made to subject tlie
judges and solicitors to a popular plu
rality primary, because of certain in
justices thought to lie worked in some
judicial circuits by reason of the coun

Will Not Stand for
New York Judge.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
BALTIMORE, June 21. -This is true
talk. For which reason it should be
put in print and win regard, it
I banted that I was present where
c undly twenty men were gathered to
-• ther. All of them were Democrats,
all of them "progressive,” all of them
of leadership sizes.
The meeting was causal; it hadn't
he<ll "called." The men were various
ly from Colorado, from Kentucky, from
the Dakotas, from New York, from
Georgia, from Arizona. From Alabama,
from Nebraska, from Oregon, from
every angle of the party, from every
.corner of the country. Most of tljem
were delegates who will sit In tomor
row's convention. Many of them hold
high offices in the nation or their sev
eral states.
While the meeting was chance-sown,
th* one subject considered was poli
tics — the coming convention—Democ
ra< y—cl.snces in November. Most of
all. Parker for temporary chairman was
considered. Bryan's objections to Park
er were by some regretted, by others
resented, by a few denounced and by a
few approved. In each instance the
argument was the same. The Bryan
< !•. n t ions were regretted or denounced
for the reason not that any one present
believed the choice of Parker a good
om —for none did—but that In making
his objections Bryan assumed a lead
ership of party which none present was
ready to consider. Bryan among the
twenty present had friends, but no fol
lowers.
Talk Turns to Parker.
Having delivered themselve* con
cerning Bryan and his evident efforts
to trouble the waters for peanut and
personal ends, the gathered twenty took
up Parker and that temporary chair
manship. Let me tell the tale in ques
tion and answer fashion. Some one
would put the query and others would
reply to it:
Who suggested Parker? Mack, of
New York.
Who was Mack? Was he acting for
himself or others or both? Mack rep
resented New York state on the Demo
cratic national committee. This was
by consent and preference of Murphy
and Tammany Hall. Wanting the fa
vor of Murphy and Tammany, Mack
as national committeeman wouldn't
last as long as a nipt of whisky at a
barn raising. The Parker suggestion
coming through Mack was really made
by Murphy and Tammany Hall.
.Why should Murphy want Parker?
Here a dozen spoke at once. Murphy
"in the sense personal didn't care a
splinter for Parker. While Murphy told
Mack what to do, those behind Murphy
told him what to do.
And who were those behind Murphy?
Those mon who made up the Murphy
Mind and settled the Murphy prefer
ences. and through Murphy, and next
through Mack, in the selection of Park
er, purposed striking the keynote of
Democracy in the coming campaign.
How the Talk Ran.
Wall Street controls Murphy just as
it controls Barnes. Wall Street wanted
Root as chairman over lite Republi
cans. .Wall Street wants Parker as
chairman over the Democrats. There
is absolutely no real difference between
Root ano Parker. Both are very able
lawyers. Both are the servants of Big-
Business.
Mack had .put It upon the ground of a
rightful compliment to Parker. In re
tort It was pointed out that tills was no
time for compliments. The place was
important. It could he used to accom
plish evil or good. The gavel of the
coming convention ought not to be
disposed of in a mere spirit of flattery.
Mack had also put his Parker recom
mendation upon the argument that
Parker had once been the party's can
didate for president. As against thls.lt
was set up that so. too. had Bryan been
the party's candidate for president.
Threefold Reason For B'yan.
If to have been nominated and beat
■ i) as the Democratic candidate for the
white house were to be received as a
reason why Parker should he made
temporary chairman, then there was
threefold the reason for elevating Bry
an Io the place, since he had been three
times named and beaten ns the party's
white house candidate
It was asked. too, why tills eagerness
to compliment Parker had slept through
1908. Why. since he so much relished
th' so nattering attentions, hadn't Park
er'- name been offered in Denver when
Bryan was last nominated?
Going back to Wall Street. Why
should Wall Street want Parker? No
one could precisely say -not being de» p
in Wall Street's motives. As to one
thing, however, all agreed. Whatever
Walt Street wants it will always get,
either from Mr. Parker or from Mr.
Root
Possiblv Wall Street is only seeking
i to give mankind an object lesson, and
show how broadly complete is its con
trol how aluolutely itniirejmliced it is
w hen it takes charge of a jailitieal par
ti or speaks through bosses.
Root at Wall Street's older had been
made chai: man by Hu Republicans in
<'hi. ago W all Street would now have
the 11: moetts make Parker their
halt man in Baltimore. W ith paid at
torne.\ s wielding Hie gave ;<t both en,;.-
of the political alley, the world would
taught to appr< elate th< politii al
■c.p s ip' " of Wall Street

>•■ Baltimore convention can be count
id lot th' Progressives, whul harm
ALL THAT IS NOW
LEFT AT CHICAGO
J '•* -A - ■ 1
could ensue from the gavel elevation of
Parker?”
"This harm," returned one, who, aside
from being- a delegate is a senator of
the United States, "is in that Wall
Street—not the place, but the influ
ences—is the enemy from every stand
point of the Progressives. Wall Street
is a synonym for Rockefeller. Standard
Oil, Carnegie and the Steel Trust, the
money power, every form of capitalized
and entrenched privilege and protec
tion. Pick up Parker for chairman,
and at once the public will ask: Who Is
he?
"Here's this bearcat Roosevelt bus
ily laying the bedplate of a new third
party. Roosevelt w ill be only too ready
with an answer. 'Parker is a Tam
many hall lawyer and the partner of
"Blue-Eyed Billy” Sheehan. He finds
his clients and hunts his fees in Wall
street and among the great corporations
—Just as Root does.’ That's how
Roosevelt will talk. Also the people
know these things. For eight years at
least—since 1904—they have been told
and retold every syllable concerning
Parker. Under the circumstances, and
in spite of a progressing supremacy In
the convention, the people will feel
that in Parker Morgan and the enemy
have scored a victory."
People Won't Understand It.
"The people will not understand it.
They will say that as progressives
we're either sold out or laid down. Par
ker isn’t a progressive, and you'll never
fool the people into regarding him as
one. A trust lawyer, a Morgan law
yer—for Palmer and Buckner in 1896 —
would Parker be likely to go far as
a vigorous progressive?
"As progressives "we stand for the
initiative, the recall, the referendum,
direct nominations and parcels post.
He is against all that we stand for, and
opposed to all that we oppose.
“What are voters to think and say
if we open our convention by making
such a man chairman? I say nothing
against Parker personally; he ought
not to be made chairman. More, I can
not understand how, unless his self
respect has gone to sleep, he could de
sire or accept it. Also, that he does
desire it, and is willing to accept it.
leads me to fear the woodpile harbors
a nigger. Aside from the fact that
his election as chairman would black
eye us witli tlie people at large and fur
nish. moreover, a club, wherewith
Roosevelt would beat us over the head.
I can not avoid the feeling that some
sinister move by the Morgans and
criminal money is being made under
cloak of Parker's name.
"Would Mark Us as Fools.”
"For a progressive convention to have
its keynote sounded by a reactionary
and a trust lawyer is preposterous and
would and should mark us as fools,
or something worse. But when, in ad
dition, i remember how and by whom
the name of Parker is proposed I be
lieve that to select him would travel
beyond the preposterous and beeom?
the disastrous. There has gone up a
cry that we should accept Parker in the
interests of harmony. Why not go a
step further and say: Let us fcase to
be progressive in the interests of har
mony.
"For one, I'm against the harmony
which opens our gates to the enemy.
Suppose Morgan and criminal money
were in control of the coming conven
tion. as you and I have seen them in
control of other party conventions. Do
you fancy that in such case Morgan
and criminal money would—in the
name of harmony—let us progressive
name the chairman.'
Dili Wall street and criminal money
do this in Chicago, where they steam
rollered the convention life out of
Roosevelt and gave the gavel to Root'.’
Wall street, though the Penroses and
the Cranes and the Barnses, made them
take one of its attorneys -Root—in Chi
cago. Now . through tlie Macks, and the
Murphys, and the Tammany Halls, it
hopes to coax us to take another of its
attorneys Parker—in Bit I timbre.
"Those urging Parker talk of har
mony. If they were really concerned
for harmony they wouldn't hate pro
posed Parker. If harmony be not nec
essary. tli'-y can have it by withdraw
ing Pat kor.
Will Urge Ollie James,
"For myself I won't < on sent to Pat
ker upon • harmony or any other ar
gument. 1 wish most emphatically that
Bryan had kept bis oar out of this.
I've never had much use for Bryan,
and just now I've • eat all. In brief.
I dislike to be caught on the same side
with Bryan. None the loss. I shall op
pose Parker. I shall urge < lliie Janie
as temporary chairman. People would
know w hat was meant by James. They j
wo .now what was meant by Par
ker. end the James (lection wouldn't
give Roosevelt a club wherewith to beat
out our brains.
"Think of the time Roosevelt would
have t.s going in between both parties.

and Carnegie’s lawyer. Root, piesidin',

Tariff To Be
Chief Issue
BALTIMORE, June 24.—Conferences
were resumed today on the platform
which the Democratic national conven
tion will adopt. From the outline of
the various planks now available it is
plain that the tariff will be the chief
point on which the party will take issue
with the Republicans.
The tariff plank will follow closely
that embodied in the Denver platform,
w hich declared for a gradual reduction
to a revenue basis and immediate and
material reductions in the necessaries
of life, especially upon such articles of
American manufacture as are sold more
cheaply abroad than at home.
"The trust” plank will be devoted in
the main to a declaration that congress
should make amendatory legislation to
make the Sherman anti-trust law' more
effective. A vigorous enforcement of
the amended law will be Insisted upon.
Approves Money Trust Probe.
A joint resolution by congress pro
viding for the direct election of United
States senators will be Indorsed.
The action of the house of represen
tatives in starting a thorough investi
gation of the "money trust” will be
strongly indorsed with Insistence upon
the passage at this session of congress
of the Pujo bill giving greater visitorial
powers over national banks.
The work of the Aldrich national
' monetary commission will be rejected
in so far as It provides for a central
bank, but certain of the commission's
recommendations will be indorsed.
Indorsement will be given the antf
injunction bill passed by the house of
representatives. Legislation will b»
■ promised providing for jury trial of all
cases where there is direct contempt of
court.
M«y Oppose “Third Term,"
Other planks which may find their
way into the platform are:
Declaring- for regular increase of the
navy, probably the construction of two
battleships a year.
Improvement of harbors and rivers.
Favoring a national public health bu
reau.
A plank has also been p'roposed de
claring against a third term for presi
dents.
The suffragettes are trying to nail in
a plank declaring In favor of woman's
rights.
The platform Is to be short, sharp
’ and incisive.
The resolutions committee probably
will meet Wednesday evening follow
ing the first day’s session of the con
’ vention.
