Explanations are offered Mf Volpp and Besse, because they said they would vote “yes' It thein constituents told them to. When he made reference to Volpp Mr. Bryan was not in possession of the fact that Velpp remdrked that It the peerless leader secured enough signatures from his constituents to constitute a majority of the votes cast for him he (Volpp) would de- mand in addition that he also be supplied from cach signer with an affidavit that he is @ democrat and wil vote the democratic ticket next November, Mr. Bryan's A Mr. Bryan's statement ls as follows: “The primary whl soon be here, and as candidates are already entering upon their canvass, it behooves the democrats of the state to know the views of those who as- pire to office. We have 100 rundred repre- sentatives and thirty-three snatcrs to elect to the legislature, &nd every candidate should be put on record upon the questions at issue. No canfi¢ute Is deserving of demo- cratic support unless he believes that & platform Is binding. A platform which is not binding I & fraud upon the public, and the man who repudiatcs a platform after he I8 elected upon it is an embeszler of power. ’ “Next to believing in piatforms comes the securing of a rm that represemts the wishes of the voters.

Says It is Unanim “The sentiment in favor of this is prac- tically unanimous among democrats, and | yet in the last legislature a few democratic | senators assumed the responsibility of de-| feating the initiative and referendum reso- | lution. This resoiution had the support of the democratic governor, of nearly all the Jdemocratic members of the house and of more than half of the democratic members | of the senate, but in spite of this indorse- ment of & fundamental democratie doctrine the following democratic senators voted | against the resolution: Ransom, Howell, Tanver, Buck, Kleln, Buhrman, Bartos,| Volpp and Besse. If four of these had | voted for the resolution the amendment would have been submitted and the liquor question would not now be acute. “The democratic voters in the districts | represented, or misrepresented, as the case | may be, by the above-named senators, are to decide whether these gentlemen gave cx- | pression to the sentiment of their constit- ugnts. Since the adjournment of the” le islature a democratic state convention—the convention of 1%0-—has unanimously in- dorsed the Initiative and referendum, and there is no dgubt that the coming state| convention willl o likewise. Yet in spite of this positive indorsement of this demo- cratie reform by a state ‘convention, Sena- tors Ransom, Howell, Tanner, Buck, Klein and Bartos recently declared that they would yole against the resolution again if a special session were called. Senator | Bubrman, who voted no at the regular session, announced tat if a special session was called be would vote yet. Senators Volpp and Besse, who voted no during the first session, announced that they wouid | votp mo again unless their comstituents asked them 10 vote yes. Senator Tibbetts, | who volted yes at the regular session, fused to say how he would vote at a special wession. | re- | 1 Must Go omn Record. ! “This fssue ought to be discussed In every | senatorial and legislative district, and every | democratic candidate ought to be com pelled to anpounce himseif on the proposi- tou, No man ig entitied to democratic support who Is no & o allow the peo- | ple to rule.

Colonel Roosevelt said ~yesterday that Senator Beveridge was to be here, and @ number of other men who were affiliated more or fess closely with the progressive movement in the republican party, whose names he would not divulge. The impression was that several otber men from tae middle west would be here. The presence of three men from New Hampshire and one from Montana puszled political observers. In particular the visit of Senator Carter could not be understood. The senator from Montana has been one of the righi-hand men of Senator Aldrich and has consistently opposed the insurgency movements. He had no word to say when he got here as to why he had come to Oyster Bay on this occasion. It was observed, however, thut when the party drove off for Sagamore Hill Senator Carter was in a carriage by himself. Foulke First Arripal. Willlam Dudley Foulke of Indiana came down from New York last night. Mr. Foulke was a civil service commissioner by | appointment of Mr. Rooseveit, and on sev- eral occasions when the then president wished to make a public statement of a political nature he did so by writing an open letter to Mr. Foulke. A delegation of visitors to Colonel Roose- velt arrived from New York on the noon train. There were six in the party, two of whom were United States Senators Bever- idge of Indiana and Carter of Montana. The others were John Bass, war corre- spondent, and his brother Robert; Winston CWtrehill, novelist, and James R. ‘Sneffield| Robert Bass is an “insurgent” candidate for the reputlican nominatien for governot of New Hampghire. He and Mr. Churchill are to lay the situation i New Hampshire before Colonel Roosevelt in an endeavor to enlist his sympathy and, if possidle, his support in thelr contest. Carter Talks of Tuterview. NEW YORK, July 7.—Senator Carter, on his return from Sagamore Hill, said that while his visit was not a political one, he had given the colonel considerablesinfor- mation about the situation in the west. “L assured him,” sai Senator Carter, “that the alleged divisions in the west were greatly exaggerated and that many of us were trying to attain the same ends through different methods. Senator Carter said he had assured Col- onel Roosevelt that the strength of the in- surgent movement in the northwest had been overestimated. The senator was asked if there was any possibility of a branch between President Taft and Colonel Roose- velt, and he replied: “] can see no danger of if. Mr. Roose- velt will probably have more of a soothing influence than any other.” Newell Back from New York. WASHINGTON, July 7.—Director Fred- erick H. Newell of the reclamation service, whose differences with Secretary of the Interior Ballinger haye created general comment, returned to Washington today from New York, where it was understood he talked yesterday with former President Roosevelt. The unusual reticence of the director con- cerning his New York visit lends color to the report that ome of the objects of his trip was to consult with Colonel Roosevelt concerning the friction with the secretary of the interior, over the administration of the reclamation service. He refused to ad- mit or deny that he had had & conference with the former president. Mr. Newell said he had conferred in Bal- timore and New York with B. N. Baker, president of the second national conseryi tion congress, which will be held in St Paul September 6 to 9. The program, he sald, would be submitted to both President Taft and former President Roosevelt for their approval.

Local bankers have recently sold large amounts of American securities abroad, and are now availing themselves of credits to strengthen their own position by importing gold. LONDON, July 7.—American and conti- nertal inquiries fon gold have' effectually. ‘burred all prospects of an immediate re- duction in the rate. The directors of the Bank of England this morning decided to maintain the 3 per cent rate, although dealing on that basis at the present rate of exchange represents a loss. The engagement of $2,000,000 of Cape gold for Germany reported this morning is gen- erally accepted as correct and the handling of bonds here should enable New York to take considerable gold. There soon will be In the neighborhood of $2,750.000 available In the open market, and at least a portion is expected to be purchased for New York. Bids for Porte Rico Bonds.

In Rome a returning victor was let into with his spolls through a breach in the wall, and adulating compa- triots rent the alr with acelaim. Today John Arthur Johnson, best of modern gladi- tors with the modern cestus, came into the city with his following through a solid wall of people, and ethical Chicago lined miles of sidewalks wili solld ranks to catch a glimpse of the man no one has been found who could whip. It was so much after his own heart—this coming Into his own-—that the champlon announced all tentative plans for the fu- ture were off.

In the midst of a mighty roar of “‘Oh, you, Jack Johnson,” the champlon alighted at his own lintel. He pushed his way into the Nouse amid deafening roar and with real tears stream- ing down his face, embraced his mother, Behind him a compatriot struggled through the crowd, bearing aloft & smoked bacon side, symbolic of Johnson's own message home: “I'm coming with the becon.” “Doan’ Need No Bacon.” “You doun' need no bacon, chile,” the aged Mrs. Johnson crida. “Ah want to tell you, I'se got a mighty fine chicken eookin’ out hea’ In the kitehen and you know: how you likes matdhmelon?
