VO V—NO PWILSON DESIRES MARSHALL UPON TICKET WITH HIM Baker Arrives at St. Lou's With Platform Drafted’ by President and Direct Word He Wants Hoosie; as Mate. Nebraska Governor Announces He Will Permit His Name ‘to Go Before Convention. M'COMBS PLEADS WITH MOOSE St. Louis, June 13.— Secretary Baker arrived here late today from Wishington bringing a platform drafted by President Wilson and di- rect word from ‘the president himself that he desires the renomination of Vice ' President Marshall. After surveying the situation Gov- ernor Morehead announced tonight he would allow his name to go be- fore the convention as a candidate for the vice presidential nomination, St. Louis, June 13.—National Chair- man McCombs sent the following telegram today to Bainbridge Colby, the progressive leader of New York, in reply to a statement of Mr. Colby suggesting that the progressives should go slowly in determining their future course and to do every justice to President Wilson in their consid- eration. “I have seen your statement. Col- onel Roosevelt appears to have sent ‘his former and enthusiastic followers stumbling to destruction. The pro- gressive democrats cordially and sin- cerely offer them safety.” Three names are under considera- , tion today for the chairmanship. P They are: United States Senator Y Willard ~ Salisbury of Delaware, Homer H. Cummings of Connecticut, vice chairman of the present com- mittee, and Colonal E. M. House of New York. President Wilson has indicated that ;\:\y one ‘of the three is agreeable to im. Wilbur. W. Marsh, ‘national com- mitteeman from lowa, is most likely to be chosen as treasurer to succeed Rolla Wells. Henry Morgenthau probably will again be chairman of the finance committee. The new national committee. meets on Saturday and expects to select the chairman at that time. The commit- tee men generally agree that they « would prefer to name as leader one of their own members. Mr. Cum- mings is .almost certain to be. the man if the chairman is taken from within their own number, & Wilbur W. Marsh of Waterloo, la., led the fight for the Clark forces from“Iowa and thé middie western states at the Baltimote convention four years ago and his selection, it was urged, would further heal any . scars that may remain from that contest. 2 Marshall For Vice President. Prospects of a fight over a vice presidential nominee diminished to- day as incoming delegations lined u behind ~ Vice ~President Marshall. Some of the candidates themselves declared they would not attempt to oppose him. The situation as to the Roger Sullivan boom, whick seither Sullivan himself nor his supporters took seri- ly, is this: » Senator James Hamilton Lewis de- clared that if Sullivan’s friends per- sisted he would take the field as a vice presidential candidate with the avowed purpose of dividing the Ili- nois delegation and thus aid in killing off the Sullivan boom. Governor Morehead of Nebraska, another vice presidential candidate, reached St. Louis today and said he had started in to diagnose his own case and find out whether his boom was healthy. The governor said if he found it waning in strength he would withdraw before nominations were made. Supporters of William J. Bryan in the Nebraska delegation said toda that an effort made to have Judge W, H. Thompson, a Bryan member of | the-delegation, make the speech nomi- ! nating Governor Morehead, had failed. There ‘was some talk today of a coalition of western states to secure the nomination of a western man./ Governor Stewart of Montana, who arrived today, disclaimed’ vice presi- dential aspirations.

Conference of Rail | THE CHOICE OF HUGHES, Unterrified in Dumps Because Re- publicans Are Getting Pro- gressive Support. BRYAN T0O REMAIN QUIET| e | BY EDGAR C. SNYDER. | St. Louis, Mo, June 13.—(Special | Telegram.) — The democrats, and | there are quite a bunch of the unter- | rified in town, are mad because the | republicans took Hughes off the su-: preme court bench to run for presi- | dent. They are also mad because Colo- | nel Reosevelt deserted them in their | hour of need. And they do not hesti- | tate to express their profound dis- | gust over the situation. | These good democrats feel that the | republicans put one over on them and they are vociferous in their expres- | sions of “outrageous political ethics,” | whatever that may mean. | Mr. Bryan, of our state, caused great relief to the leaders, when short- |ly before noon today he announced | | that he had |}o intention to throw any | monkeq wreirfches into the convention | machinery. He declared he would not seek to enter the convention by proxy, |if such a thing in a nation is permis- sible, and he further declared that he would not urge any .einks unsatis- factory to the leaders. o much for our distinguished citizen. I will have something to print about ex-Sccretaty Bryan and his relationship with the Nebraska delegation fater, Robbing the Judiciary. When Representative Hull of Ten- nessee, suggested that a plank dis- qualifying the federal judiciary from elective offices was suggested, it was snapped up eagerly by the democracy here assembled in the “Mound City,” fittingly named for a democratic con- ventioni. The brave boys of the demo- cracy went after Hull's suggestion like a bass after a, minow and ran down stream full length of the line until hauled up short. Somebody re- minded them that they themselves, in this very town, in 1904, had ravaged the bench by depriving 1t of Judge Al- ton B. Parker and nomimating him for their president. - But. the democrats refused to give up their idea; they insisted there was a_ differences between the state ju- diciary and the supreme court of the United States. Going To Congress. Today another angle appears to the proposition. They now intend to take the question up in congress as soon as they return to the national capital. A joint resolution will be introduc- ed, according to present plans, propos- ihg an amendment to. the constitution of the_United States to be submitted to the states for. ratification provid- ing. that' no. jmstice vr the supreme court shall l}_gpavnifw'le ot electice office until five years after leaving the bench. Six democratic senators last night in a conference approved this idea. ! Democrats Discouraged. . So much for this. There is a feel- ing of depression améng the rank and file over the announcement of so many leading progressives of their adherence - to Mr. Hughes! That George W. Perkins, George Von L. Meyer, Senator Cummins, Henry Allen and others should come out for Mr. Hughes is very discouraging. They fear that it will spoil their plans to invite wholesale recruiting to the demacratic ticket from the ranks of the “bull moosers.” There is divided counsel in the lead- ership over the course to be pursued in the speeches before the convention and the statements to be given out as to the personal attacks on Hughes and Fairbanks. Senator Stene, in his statement last night, dealt in personalities to a degree which some of the leaders thought unwise, while others ap- proved his utterances. Bryan in Press Box. 1 like to write about Mr. Bryan, the late secretary of state, because he is a Nebraskan. Mr. Bryan, whom they all have a profound admiration for, although off the political map for the time being, will remain unobtrusively in the press box. This will be the | first democrat convention in twenty | years that he has not dqminated. Three times out of the last five na- tional conventions he was nominated for president. In 1904 e was not nominated, but hg was recognized as a powerful -factor in the party when Alton B. Parker was nominated against Bryan's advice and was over- whebmingly defeated. What happened in 1912 1s remembered. Price to Name Morehead. Locally the situation is interesting because Governor Morehead’s name is going to be presented to the con- vention by Mr. Price. That was de- cided on today at the conference, | which eventuated in nothing after| Chiefs and Toilers About to Break Up New York, June 13.—The answer to the question as to whether the rep- resentatives - f the railroads and their e.nployes would break off negotia- tions as the result of their dispute. over wage adjustments still hung in | the balance when the forenoon ses- | sion of their conference adjourned to- day. *he railroad manage's continued | today to answer the 105 questions| propounded by the union men re-| garding applications of the new wage | schedule, but the proceedings were frequently interrupted by heated dis- cussions which did not evidence a harmonious adjustment. ) The . railroad’ managers had still more questions to answer when the conference adjourned u ‘I tomorrow.

Only Authorized Statement. It was the only statement he made during his talk with newspaper men that he would permit to go out as authorized by him. At the same time it was made clear to callers that the nominee should use what he thought was the most emphatic languige he could have used on this subject in his telegram last Saturday to Chairman Harding of the republican national convention. Mr. Hughes, it was said, intends to meet doubt that has been raised in a manner which he believes will clear it up. It will be a long cam- paign and a strenuous campaign, ac- cording to the present outlook at headquarters, and there will be -op- portunity to go ito details before the American people. The nominee, leaders said, probably witl start early on his speech-making tours.

Will Choose Chairman Later. One of. the few developments of the day at Mr. Hughes' headquarters was_an announcement b{ LaFayette B. Gleason, secretary of the repub- lican national committee, and also of the New York state republican com- mittee, which indicated that it will be- several days yet before any decision is reported on the question of the man who is to succeed Charles D. Hilles as chairman of the republican national committee. Mr. Gleason said that a subcommittee of the national committee would in a few days call upon the nominee to discuss the mat- ter. Another development was the an- nouncement from the candidate's headquarters that moving pictures would be employed to aid his cam- paign. It is planned to throw on the screen throughout the country ‘pic- tures of Mr. Hughes “in_ order that the people may afii" become familiar with Charles E. Hughes, because he has for so long a time been virtually out of public life.” The screens also will display important passages from Mr. Hughes' telegram to the national convention accepting the nomination. Oscar S. Straus, former candidate for governor of New York on the progressive ticket, sent a telegram to Mr. Hughes today pledging his sup- port. .

FEATURE OF BIG CONVENTION There are several different varieties of mixers at the Trans-Mississippi Bakers’ ehxibit - at the Auditorium. There aré mechanical mixers that need the dough need the dough for bread, cakes and pies. The bakers themselves—the men who knead the dough—are good mixers and are hav- ing a good time at their convention. / But the real mixers are the sales- men, who, to judge by their talk to prospectve customers, need the dough that will come from commissions on sales of mixers and other bakery sup- plies. They will explain to the selling prospect that if he kneads the dough because he needs the dough, he need knead the dough with the mixer that kneads the dough most for the least dough. A pleasant salesman in the center !of the floor has on exhibition a can of powder that looks very much like sulphur, but which he explains is a convenient form of egg for use by bakers. He says you can take a spoon- ful of the powder and heat it up with | water and have a plate of scrambled eggs. “You can't poach that kind of an egg or fry it sunny side up, but it's fine for a scramble or an ome- tlette.” The eggs that make up this powder come ‘rom China, T}TLQOI:; Like Wi B.

Conference Seems Nemfl Deadlock New York, June 13.—The confer- ence of railroad managers and offi- cials of railroad men’s unions, repre- senting about 350,000 employes, look perilously near a deadlock today. This was the result of the applica- tion of what the men called a “yard stick” to their demapds. In this the railw?y officials declared that “time paid for under one rule is not t) be paid for under another rule or rules.” This proposal was regarded so un- favorably by officials of the unions that A, B.
