CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 34.—A new
party from the ground up Is the Roose
velt programme. After a series of dls
cusslons with his lieutenants today be
fore leaving: Chicago, In which there
were several sharp clashes, Colonel
Roosevelt <^feclded to cut entirely away
from the party with which his whole
public career has been identified.
His decision was a disappointment to
those who favored the .organization of
what might be considered an independent
Republican party with which various
Stat* organizations might co-operate and
still/ maintain, it was hoped, a nominal
regularity.
"There must be no compromise, no
straddle. " Colonel Roosevelt said. As
an Indication of his determination he
said that when ha returned to Oyster
Bay he would communicate with a num-
ber of Democrats who he thought might
wish to Join the new party.
When he had left Chicago with the
first plans completed, Colonel Roosevelt
expressed himself as pleased with the
outcome of the convention week, al-
though It was unexpected to him. He
said the way in which his action had
been received was encouraging, and he
had a mass of letters and telegrams from
all parts of the country, from both Re-
publicans and Democrats, offering sup-
port
The Republican nomination for Presl
dent. Colonel Roosevelt asserted to-
night, was for thp asking on the day
(hat President Taft was nominated. He
declined to accept It, he said, on er.i
terma under which the offer was made.
TELLS INSIDE STORT.
On his way back to Oyster Bay the
former President gave a glimpse Into
the eeoret history of the last day of the
convention, when It in apparent the
tide of battle had turned against him.
It was a plan to seize control of the
convention at th» last moment by a
sudden move, overturn the Taft ma-
jority and make Roosevelt the nominee.
Thla Is the story as he told It:
"Early Saturday morning a group ot
delegates from Southern States arranged
a private Interview with me. They said
that they had come to offer me the nom-
ination. They had with them a list of
/ the known Roosevelt delegates and
stated they were authorized to speak
for a block of Taft delegates who were
willing to swing over to Roosevelt to
avert a rupture in the party. The num-
ber of these delegates, they said, was
'•*8* enough to nominate me or
other candidate I might name.
"One provision was made. It was that
I must accept the nomination from the
convention as then composed, and not
Insist upen the removal of the seventy-
eight delegates whom we contended were
fraudulent. The delegates told me that
their band would stand together on the
roll call for the presidential nominee,
but that It would be hopeless for them
to attempt to combine with the Roose-
velt minority to unseat the seventy-eight
delegates."
SENT THEM BACK.
Colonel Roosevelt said he Informed
these emissaries that if he should be
nominated under these conditions he
would not accept the nomination. He
told them to go to the delegates wliom
they represented and bring back to him
a pledge signed by thirty delegates agree-
ing to combine with the Roosevelt dele-
gates and-jjiake the attempt to start all
over again to organize the convention
snd to unseat the seventy-eight con-
tested delegates. The attempt failed,
colonel Roosevelt said a considerable
number of signatures to the pledges were
obtained, but that It had proved Impos-
sible Jo hold a sufficiently large part of
the delegates In line for the action upon
which he Insisted to give It tho chance
of success.
The chief point of luterest to Colonel
Roosevelt's supporters today was
whether they would be able to carry
with them the strength of the following
which Colonel Roosevelt has heretofore
any
. .. ..... . Roosevelt has heretofore
had within the Republican partv. Some
of them said frankly that the movement
was inaugurated on the assumption that
since Colonel Roosevelt had been the
real ."party" In a number of Republican
States. It would be possible to bring these
States In line for the new party No
rlan has been decided upon by whloh It
would be possible to effect such a trans-
fer of workable organisations from the
Republican party to the new enterprise
It Is recognised that there exists a dan-
ger of so many defections that In some
cases the machinery may be either badly
damaged In the process or left In tbe
hards of the "regular" Republicans.
"WILL FIND A WAT."
Colonel Roosevelt expressed confidence
that • way would be found. He said ho
ultimately would have the support of the
substantial part of the organisations
which were with him In the campaign
of the last four months. It Is his opinion
that the pressure of ifabllc sentiment
was sufficient In some States to brine
this about and that, while there may be
numerous defections. It will be possible
unteers.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 24.-Sam-
uel Gompers, Frank Morrison and .lohn
Mitchell, the labor leaders, were today
held guilty of contempt of court by the
Supeme Court of the District of Colum-
bia In connection with the court's In-
junction in the Bucks Stove and Range
boycott case. They will attempt to ap-
peal again to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which reversed their form-
er conviction.
Bondsmen were on hand and attorneys
for the labor men gave notice of an in-
tention to file an appeal to have the Su-
preme Court review the Judgment.
In its previous review of the case the
Supreme Court reversed tile conviction
on the ground that contempt proceedings
had beeu improperly instituted. New
proceedings were at once begun. The
sentences under the first conviction
were:
Gompers, one year; Morrison, nine
menths; Mitchell, six months.
The charge was that tho three men.
as officers of the American Federation
of Labor, through the organization's of-
ficial publication, had disregarded Jus-
tice Gould's Injunction against the pub-
lication of the Bucks Stove and Range
Company's name In Its "boycott list."
GOMPERS' SENTENCE.
Justice Wright sentenced Gompers to
one year, tho same as upon his previous
conviction, but sentenced Morrison to
six months.
John Mitchell was not present and the
sentence upon him was deferred. His
first sentence was six months.
After Gompers had been sentenced he
attacked the decision, deolaring that,
while "Justice Wright lives in our times,
his decision and sentences disclose a
mental conception of more than two cen-
turies ago, when the workman was either
slave or a serf."
'Information Just came to me that tho
decision was completed more than a
month ago, but withheld until after tho
close of the Chicago Republican National
convention. If true, the Inference Is ob-
lous."
In passing sentence
Gompers the court said:
"For the ringleader and chief offender
the duty of tho court, If to be ascer-
tained by Its obligations to administer
the Justice of the land 'without respect
persons, requires it In determining a
penalty appropriate for this, tho most
dargorous and destructive of contempts,
at least to parallel the extreme penalty
which Is fixed by good precedents."
After a lengthy recital of the func-
tions of the law and Judicial power, the
opinion concludes:
DISREGARD OF LAW.
"The evidence shows for these respond-
ents an assiduous and persistent effort
to undermine tho supremacy of the law
by undertaking assiduously to destroy
the confidence of the people in the in-
tegrity of the tribunals which maintain
It. by Inoculating the minds of their fol-
lowers and the people with a virus of
mischievous falsehood* and misrepre-
sentation concerning the courts and
Judges, seeking and hopeful that tho sup-
port of tho people might bo withdrawn
from these tribunals and by this means
their power undone, their Judgment ren-
dered valueless and forceless.
"The defendants are here at the court
bar to answer; they have been afforded
full opportunity to hear the evldenco
against them and to say wnat, If any.
reasons can exist against their punish-
ment. Every part of their punishment,
every part of their response—for they of-
fer no defense—is measured by the words
of I heir leader, Gotnpers, 'the things [
am charged with I did. Go to with your
Injunctions.' "

Htflff Special to The Express
BALTIMORE, Md., June 24.—Ante-con-
vention proceedings were considerably
enlivened today by 'correspondence be
tween Cone Johnson, chairman of the
Texas delegation, and Col. R. M. John
ston, Democratic National Committee-
man. The Texas delegates voted unani-
mously to ask Colonel Johnston to re
call his support of Judge Alton B. Par-
ker for temporary chairman. Colonel
Johnston politely declined.
CONK JOHNSON'S LETTER.
Tho first letter ran:
"Baltimore, Aid., June 24, 1912.—To Hon.
R. M. JohnBton, National Committee-
man from TexaB, Baltimore, Md.: Dear
Sir—At the meeting of the delegates from
Texas to the Democratic National ciAi-
veution held today it was voted that as
chairman of the delegation 1 advise vou
ot their unanimous opinion that Juilge
Alton B. Parker of New York, whose
name lias been suggested for temporary
chairman of the convention, should not
be selected for that position, but that
the temporary chairman should he some
l>emocrat whose record aud affiliations
align him with the dominant progressive
sentiment of the Democratic party and
of tile times. It is the earnest' wish
of every member of the Texas dtdega-
tlon that no reactionary brand be put
upon the convention at the outset by
the selection of a reactionary as its tem-
porary chairman.
"We believe tlmt any seeming acquies-
cence on the part of the Texas delega-
tion In the selection of any one other
than a known progressive Democrat as
temporary chairman would forfeit the
confidence ot those we represent lu the
sincerity of purpose of the delegation.
"We therefore respectfully and earn-
estly request that as National ComrrH-
teeman ftoin Texas you vote against ths
selection of Judge Parker and In ac-
cord with the views herein expressed.
Yours truly, CONE JOHNSON,
"Chairman Texas Delegation."
JOHNSTON'S REPLY.
In his reply Colonel Johnston said:
"I beg to say to you and to the mem-
bers of the Texas delegation, through
you, that 1 have tho utmoBt respect for
the wishes and opinions of the Democrats
of Texas, as represented by this delega-
tion. but In view of the conditions now
existing here 1 must say in all frank-
ness to you that If Judge Parker's name
Is presented to the National Committee
for temporary chairman of the National
convention 1 shall vote for him.
"I can see no reason for this fight on
Judge Parker, whom 1 regard, not only
as one of tho big men of this country,
but one of the greatest Democrats of
the Cnited States. Judge Parker la not
only a Jeffersonlan Democrat, but bis
party record Is entirely above reproach.
He is for all the progressive Ideas now
being considered by the Democratic
party, and I am at a loss to understsnd
why auy Democrat ahould object to the
honor being extended to him and the
great State of New York, which he rep-
resents.
"Of course, I had nothing to do with
making Judge Parker a candidate for
this position; but upon my arrival In
Baltimore I found that his name had
been presented to Mr. Mack, chairman
of the National Committee, and once be-
ing presented, I thwugtit then, as I think
now. It would be bad politics and unwise
to affront the great State of New York
by turning him down simply to (ratify
the whims of a few people who feel that
they own and control the I>moeratle
partv. If the Democratic pari

Staff Special to-f he Express.
BALTIMORE, Md., June 24.—Champ Clark is out for the Democrat)!!
nomination at all costs. He has accepted the support of the ever-reactionary
Tammany crowd; he has corraled the aid of the radical Hearst. Tonight he
holds the key to the temporary chairmanship situation. It is believed his
forces can bring about the election of Judge Parker to that post, and tht!
final elimination of William Jennings Bryan as a presidential possibility.
New York's block of ninety votes is understood to have been turned overt
to the Speaker in the convention party on condition that he shall assemble his
best strength at election of Parker, and Clark, being a practical politiican,
is said to be working to that end.
No more is Clark identified as a bona fide progressive. The temporary,
chairmanship fight is a more vital question on the eve of this great convention
than it was two days ago, or even last night. Jt appears that no less a money^
baron than Thomas Fortune Ryan is the bone and sinew of the Parker cause,
while the acknowledged leader of the opposition to Parker is the "peerless one."
If Clark can deliver the goods it may be the "powerless one" by tomorrow
night.
A final and unsuccessful attempt to conciliate Bryan and Parker was made
this afternoon by a "peace" committee from the National Democratic Executiva
Committee, being National Chairman Mack and National Committeeman Hall
of Nebraska. A conference of these four resulted in the announcement that
the New York jurist and the Commoner had agreed "not" to agree. War to
the knife and to the hilt was the upshot of representations emanating from
representatives of both parties. The National committee met tonight and voted
on the temporary chairmanship as follows:
For Parker, 31; for Ollie James (Bryan lieutenant I, 20; for Senatot
O'Gorman, 2.
•
It Is recalled that this earn® commit-
tee last January repulsed Mr. Bryan on
Pennsylvania and Tennessee commlttee-
nmnship contests uy about that vote.
The conservatives, or rather, anti-Bryan
men, dominated the National committee.
MAKING READY FOR BATTLE.
This action tonight by the committee,
ratifying In so far as It Is aoncerned
the selection of Parker for temporary
ohairman by the subcommittee on con-
vention arrangements, was a reiteration
of a declaration of war on Bryan. And
Bryan Is now marshalling his supporters
for the supreme battle.
It is believed the Nebraskan Is stak-
ing his all on this contest. If this
National Democratic convention, which
has an opportunity to name the next
President of the I nited States, repudi-
ates Bryan and makes Parker temporary
chairman, it will be, "Uood night, Mr.
Bryan." Should the reverse happen, and
Bryan of his choice be made temporary
chairman, the nomination of Bryan might
result.
But tonight It seems to be Parker, due
to the frens.v of the Clark people to
fet the nomination, to manipulate It.
he Wilson men are the only reliable
supporters of Mryan In this fight. They
are already offset by the followers of
llndarwood and Harmon. The side which
can swing the majority of the Claris
delegates to their candidate for tem-
porary chairman, will win out.
The Murphy-Ryan-Belmont element
generally has something worth while in
night when It fights as hard as it's fight-
ing here. And that something wortli
while It this: Could they nominate Mr.
Clark, Oscar i nderwood, who Is a con-
servative, and the very highest class ot
conservative, at that, would become tha
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
and Representative Francis Burton Har*
rlson of Tammany would succeed Under-
wood as chairman of the all-Important
Ways and Means Committee, the com-
mittee of committees, as well as the
tariff-making committee of the Houso.

BALTIMORE, Md., June 24.—Before a
crowd of the Nebraskan's supporters who
packed his rooms tonight, William Jen-
nings Bryan in a/brisk statement gave
the Inside facts of his opposition to Judfce
Parker for tempcuary chairman of the
Democratic National convention which Is
to he opened at noon today.
He also permitted a fleeting glimpse
of what his fighting plans are.
In his statement he tells of having
urg'd weeks ago a conference among
the leading candidates to select a chair-
man and the man to sound the "key-
note" of the convention.
Beginning his statement after being ap-
prised of tho National committee a selec-
tion of Judge Parker he said:
"I had expected it. When Mr. Suffer
was seated against the protest of the
Democrats In Pennsylvania, I learned
what I had expected that a majority of
that committee either had no conception
of democracy or was so slavishly under
the control of the predatory Interests as
not to be free to follow the convictions.
The reasons which they give are like aU
reasons given In defense of wrong. They
are insincere and are nut the reasons that
are really lnfluen- Ing them, '-'he fight
will be resumed tomorrow, at which time
a progressive *111 be presented to the
couvenilon and the line will be drawn
so that the delegates can decide whether
they will ally themselves with the Bel-
mont-Rvan-Murphy crowd thai over-
whelmed tbe party with defeat eight
years ago and which Is In close and con-
tinuous copartnership with the crowd that
nominated Mr. Taft at Chicago.
"The predstoty Interests have no poli-
tics. They are with the party that serves
them. Having enabled a minority of the
Republicans to override the will of a
majority of Republicans at Chicago, they
are now here to enable a minority ot
the Democrats to override the majority
In this convention.
"There is not a, great exploiting interest
thai is not represented In the lobbies ot
th» hotels; there Is not a corrupting In-
fluence in Ann rican politics that Is no#
being used a id the delegates to this con-
vention underestimate the intelligence ofl
tho men .vim Bent them here If their
think I hut they can go back and decelv*
ihern Into believing that they supported,
Mr. Parker for auj worthy motive. Th#
talk of harmony is too absurd to deser-ve
consideration. I tried to secure harmonyv
by urging several weeks ago that tte
lommittee invite Mr. Clark and Mr. Wit-'
sou, whoso Instructed delegates consti-
tute n»«rly two-thirds of the convention,
to agree upo.i a candidate for the purposa
of avoiding friction. They not only failed
to du this, but refused to take the choice
cf either candidate and at Mr. Murphy'*
dictation forced Mr. Parkers nomina-
tion.
"I shall discuss Mr. Parker's fitness torn
the position tomorrow. It Is enough to- '
night to ay tlfet if he does nor know
whose agent he is. he lacks the intelli-
gence necessary for a presiding officer
ana Ir he does* know he does not deaerv#
the suuport of any man who has tha
right to call himself a Democrat.
"1 expect to preeent the name of soma
progressive and to support bis claim be-
fore the convention. If I fall to find «
man to lead the fight my name will ba
presented as a candidate for temporary
chairman. I have no way of knowing
how the ,'onventlon stands, but the Dem-
ocrats of the Nation have done enough
for me to Justify me In suffering defeat
If necersary In their defense. One Raw
publican party Is enough In this country
for whatever we may call ourselves. If
we cannot distinguish ourselves front
^hem In our actions, people will not pa*
much attention to our words."
There was a cheer from the delegates
and visitors who swarmed In Mr. Bryan'a
rooms when tne Nebraskan concluded his
statement. Mr. Bryan was In cdhferenc*
lata tonlcht with his associates mapping
out tomorrow's contest before tha
veatlon which meets at noon.
