Charges from William Jennings
Bryan that friends of Governor Har
mon had sought to purchase Bryan
pledged delegates to the 1908 con
vention stirred the Ohio executive to
a telegraphic denial and brought
from Mr. Bryan the publication of
the letter on which ho says the
charges were based.
The letter was made public hero
by Harvey Garber, who said it was
addressed to State Senator Frank T.
Dore of Tiffin. It was signed Michael
Dovauney of Cincinnati, and was, in
part:
"Cincinnati, June 29, 1908: Dear

the district. He advised
that you see Mr. of

of that place whose name he did not
remember, and have him, together
with Mr. of

opinion of the supremecourt of New

the "residuary clause if not a gift
to a church, but a gift for religious
purposes sustainable as a charitable
trust."
you will see there's 'something
doing,' and whilst indorsements
have been given in your district, I
hope that your two delegates can see
their way clear to vote for Judge
Harmon on the first ballot at
Denver."
Mr. Garber is a member of tho
democratic national committee. He
declined to make known the names
of those involved In the letter."
Six hundred rebels were slain in

federals retreated.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Now York, says: The question as to
whether officers of the American
Steel and Wire company ordered the
destruction of tho evidence used in
the so-called Jackson wire pool cases
before or after the filing of the pend
ing dissolution suit against the
United States Steel corporation was
answered. Frank Baxekos, vice
president of the wire company, testi
fied before Commissioner Brown that
he had given tho order to George A.
Cragln, his assistant sales manager,
at Worcester, Mass., in September
or early in October last. The suit
was filed on October 26. Baxekes
testified further that ho had given
orders after tho dissolution of the
wire pools tliroe years ago, for the
destruction of all papers connecting
his company with the pool, but the
order had been only partly executed.
It was due to this oversight that
the papers now in question came into
tho hands of the government.
This testimony camo somewhat as
a surprise, as it was elicited by the
steel corporation's attorneys nttr
they had fought to prevent Baxolfes
Coal mine owners say that coal

A Walla Walla, Wash., dispatch,
carried by the Associated Press,
says: When the delegates in the
democratic state convention were
called upon to express their prefer
ance for president, a desperate effort
was made to stampede the conven
tion for Bryan. The Clark men,
However, stood firm and won out.
With the roll call of counties
nearly completed, Pend d'Oreille
county cast its solid vote for Bryan.
In an instant the convention hall
was in an uproar.
Delegation after delegation, which
had cast votes for Wilson, changed
to Bryan but the Clark men stood
firm and a half dozen Wilson dele
gations switched their votes to Clark.
When the vote was finally tabu
lated it showed 455 for Clark, 135
for Bryan, 106 for Wilson and ifi
for Harmon.
The platform adopted not only
advocated presidential preference
primaries, the initiative, referendum
and recall, publicity of campaign
contributions before election and the
limiting or campaign expenditures,
but advocated a non-partisan elec
tion law, applying to all county and
city officers, a direct primary for all
state officers and the selection of
United States senators by the Ore
gon plan. The platform also advo
cated the publicity of the ownership
of newspapers.
Pennsylvania was overthrown re
cently, the regular democratic state
organization wag gwept out of power
by the "reorganization" faction after
a fight lasting nearly two years.
The "reorganized " victory was
complete and no resistance was made
by the regulars after the vote on
permanent chairman of the state con
vention showed that their opponents
controlled the convention by 110
votes to 73. The party has been
split for more than a year and two
state committees have directed the
destinies of the Pennsylvania democracy.
The "reorganizes," - under the
leadership of George W. Guthrie,
former mayor of Pittsburgh; Vance
McCormick, former mayor of Harris
burg, and Congressman Palmer,
named a complete state ticket,
elected twelve delegates at large and
twelve alternates to Baltimore and
gave them binding instructions to
vote for Woodrow Wilson "as long
as his name remains before the con
vention;" selected six electors at
large; adopted their own platform
and ratified the selection of the "re-
organizers' " state committee in
electing Mr. Guthrie state chairman.
The state ticket follows:
Auditor General Robert E. Cress
well, Johnstown.
State Treasurer William H.
Berry, Delaware county.
Congressmen at Large George H.
Shaw, Westmoreland; Joseph How
ley, Allegheny; George R. McLean,
Luzerne, and B. B. Greenwalt, Lan
caster. The platform adopted includes in
dorsement of the initiative and ref
erendum, but ignores the recall of
judges or judicial decisions. It de
plores "destruction of representative
government through control of state
and national legislation by agents of
special interests."
It says that loose and dishonest
constitutional interpretation has
turned fundamental laws against
proper regulation of corporate
wealth and that the protective tariff
has swollen the fortunes of a few.
"Three great issues" the platform
declares, "overshadow all others
representative government must bo
restored; the judiciary must be re
stricted to its proper sphere; the
evils of the tariff system must bo
corrected."
The work of the democratic house
is praised as having promoted econ
omy in every branch of the govern
ment and paved the way for the elec
tion of United States senators by tho
people.
"We share in the humiliation,"
one plank says, "which all feel at
the spectacle of the chief magistrate
of our country lowering the dignity"
or. the office by indulging in a petty
personal quarrel Vith his predeces
sor and withholding prosecution
against great corporation interests."
It declares "Roosevelt followed tho
same conduct in office as Taft, and
that the recent events furnish con
clusive reasons for an amendment
to the constitution, makine: a nresi-
dent ineligible to succeed- himself,
as well as for legislation which will
prevent any executive from employ
ing the great power of his office to
fasten on the country a successor of
his choosing."
They had a revolution in the
Pennsylvania democracy a few days
ago. The story is told by the fol
lowing Associated Press dispatch
irom ttarriBDurg:
A London cablegram to the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, says: The
process of smoking out alleged con
spirators who are charged by their
political opponents with treason, In
connection with President Taft's
Canadian reciprocity plans, was in
