I believe It should only be a matter of
time, when this man ought to have a
Jury trial. I arrt not prepared to say

GRAY MANAGER IN. LINCOLN
Says Delaware Man Will Be Nomi
nated for President at Denver.
ACTIONS BELIE WORDS, HOWEVER
John H. AtTfooil of Kansas Gives Ilia
Idea of Injunction riank, and It
Is Teovcht to Represent the
Views of Bryan.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., June 29. (Special Tele
gram.) Joseph Marvel of Wilmington, Del.,
manager for Judge Oray, brought the In
formation to Lincoln tonight that Judge
Gray would be nominated for president at
Denver and that he and Johnson of Min
nesota together could muster too vo:es
on the first ballot. This evening, lie, In
company with a newspaper man of Phila
delphia, called upon Mr. Bryan. When
asked why he called upon Bryan If he was
so sure Judge Gray waa going to be nom
inated, the Gray manager had no reply
ready. Judge Gray s manager will open
headquarters at Denver.
The visit of the Oray manager Is taken
to mean that the east la playing for second
place on the ticket, and it would be satis
fied with Judge Gray. Incidentally some of
the west Is also for Gray. John H. At
wood, national committeeman from Kan
sas, who is also here. Is outspoken for
Judge Gray for second place. "It would
unite the party completely," he said, "were
the convention to select Judge Oray for its
vice presidential candidate. He may not
have been with us In 1SS6, but he hae
n,ver been aDout anything. He Is a
,p,miid man and would show the eastern
democrat we are ready to reach out an1
shake hands."
Mr. At wood came to Lincoln with James
A. Reed of Kansas City, and both called
upon Bryan. Mr. Atwood has a plank he
will submit to the resolutions committer
bearing upon the Injunction matter.
A wood's Idea, of Injunction.
"In speaking about the platform," he
said, "I am only voicing my own senti
ments. I-believe the platform should con
tain a plank providing for a law that
would permit of the lasuance of a restrain
ing order In the discretion of the Judge,
but this restraining order should have a
time limit, say from five to ten days. Then
the case should be tried before the Imsu
ance of a temporary Injunction. The
trouble has been In the past that too many
Judges Issue a n straining order and then
allow the matter to slide along and be
come In fact an Injunction. There are cases
where a restraining order should be Issued
but the defendant should be given an op
portunlty to have a speedy trial of the
case on its merits." '
Mr. Atwood la not a delegate to the con
vention, but probably will get In on a
proxy. He has been picked by the local
forecaster for the chairmanship of the
resolutions committee, but tonight he In
slsted this honor should go to Senator
Stone of Missouri or to Governor Haskell
of Oklahoma, though Jim Reed of Kansas
City, he said, deserved the honor
Samuel De Nedrey of Washington, D. C,
representative of organized labor, caildd
on Mr. Bryan today, and ,ts supposed to
have presented a dralt of a labor plank to
him. It was reported tonight on good
authority that the democratic convention,
meaning Mr. Bryan, will not stand for
what Samuel Gompers want In the plat
form. It is believed Mr. Bryan looks with
favor on tl,e Atwoud Injunction plank.
Bryan silent on Vice President.
"There Is no significance in thu an
nouncement that Judge Black said he waa
for John W. Kern of Indiana for vice
president Immediately after a conference
wltn Mr. Bryan," fald one of Mr. Bryan'
closest political friends this mornl ig
Juu.- Biack cam Hum L.tieu, .iah.,
to see the democratic candidate,
"Judge Black is a close friend of Mr.
Kern and has always been for him, ' con
tlnued the Bryan spokesman. "Mr. Bryan
said he would tell the public should he
have a preference for vice president and
he would tell no Individual until he did
Ual" the public Into his confidence."
statement Is taken to mean that a
lot of visitors to Lincoln are talking
through their hats in order to get in the
tlmellgit when they discuss what Mr.
Bryan wanta and doesn't want. And the
man who made the statement I close
enough to the candidate to wnow what he
Intends to do If anyone does.

llnve Question Incorporated
In Platform More 'eats
Placed In Hall.
DENVER. Colo., June 2?. The fight ovei
th anti-injunction plank In tke demcrratlt
platform Is not the only struggle In tha
committee on resolutions snd possibly the
convention Itself may he Involved. It de
veloped today that the prohibition questlor
Is to be brought to the front and that
desperate effort will be made to have a
plank declaring In 11 favor placed In the
platform. The prohibition movement will
be headed by Ocnrral James B. Weaver ol
Icwa, who demanded cf the recent demo,
cratlc convention In that state thst It
derlai'. In favor of prohibition. General
Weaver and his followers were not success
ful in their errorts In their own state, but
nothing daunted by their failure, have mad
arraiiRemcnts to brlnff the matter up befoit
the democratic convention. They claim,
however, to have strong backing from
number of the southern delegations which
have recently passed prohibition laws an!
It Is declared confidently by Oeneral Weav
er's adherents that If the democratic na
tional platform does not contain a prohibi
tion plank, It will only be for the reasor
that the hardest kind of fighting ha been
unable to secure its sdoptlon.
Antl-lnjnnetlon Plash.
The anti-Injunction plank continues to
provoke a large amount of discussion
among such party leaders as have already
arrived for the convention. While opinions
differ as to the exsct nature of the plank
which should be adopted all are of one
mind In saying Hint It shall be rlefinlt-5
snd specific statement. Such members of
the national committee as have discussed
the matter are a unit In saying that the
wording cf the anti-Injunction plank shall
leave no possible doubt In the mind of any
reader as to where the party stands on thla
question.
It is not generally believed, however, that
the antl-ln.lvmctlon resolution will not pro.
vide for trials by Jury In cases of contempt
of court or favor In any way measure
which might be construed as Interfering
with the prerogatives of the federal court.
The friends of Mr. Bryan sav that such
of his critics as are already expressing
themselves In far of a radical antl-lnjnrwv. '
tton plank are fighting lh air.. The plank
has not yet been written. It ha not been
drafted and Its form is still a matter which
Is under deep and careful consideration. It
Is said, to be the desire of Mr. 'Bryan to
consult as many of the prominent member
of the party as Is possible before any deci
sive action in formulating this resolution
is taken.

I wh,, h, BtMpm.nt i..,,iv with
generalities, Mr. Sullivan make It clear
that he Is opposed to any plank which dif
ferentiates between classes of citizens
either In or out of the courts. That all men
should be equal before the law, he de
clares, Is the doctrine which all members
of the democratic party are essentially
bound to maintain.
Setback for fhnnler Boom.
The vice presidential situation rernaln
to all appearances Just where It waa yes
terday, although the boom of Lieutenant
Governor Chanler of New York seems to
have weakened somewhat and his name it
not mentioned as prominently a It was
two days ago. This Is largely due to the
announcement made by Norman E. Mack,
national committeeman from New York,
that he has no authority to speak for
Mr. Chanler and that his Interest In the
movement was dictated by friendship and
by a sincere belief that th New York
official Is well qualified to take second
place on the ticket.
Only one new name was mentioned to-
I day aa a vice presidential possibility, thl
! was Governor George E. Chamberlain of
j Oregon. He found much favor with some
of the party leaders and It I tald h will
I be personally acceptable to Mr. Bryln, If
the latter Is nominated. Sponsors of the
vice presidential booms located outside of
New York slate claim to be greatly en
couraged by the fact that already flvo
New York men have been mentioned as
aspirants to the vice presidential nomina
tion. They believe that with the New York
delegation divided among lhat number of
candidates an outsider has a far bnw
chance of securing the prlie than wuuld
be the case If the delegation from thu
Empire state were standing solidly Tor u
single man.
