SAN ANION 1U EXPRESS: TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1912.
FOR DEMOCRATS
LEADER MAY YET BE CHAIRMAN
OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RESOLUTIONS.
BAL.T1MORE, Md., June 24.-If Mr.
Bryan should not be temporary chairman
of the Dembocratic. convention he prob-
ubly will be chairman of the committee
on resolutions. He will be the represent-
ative of his State ori that committee and
his position in the party is such that
the place will be conceded to him. The
general opinion i.s that in- will prepare
the greater part of the platform. Many
think iio now has much of it written,
tut he is reticent on the subject.
Delegates were too much occupied to-
day with the temporary chairmanship to
give much rlose attention to resolution*,
but in so far as there was expression on
the subject, it indicated a harmonious
condition. Representatives of some Kast-
ern States express apprehension that
there may be an effort to forse approval
of the initiative, referendum and recall.
Jf there is it will be opposed. Mr. Bryan
has, however, Indicated the opinion
that these pertain ©nly to State admin-
istration, and it is not believed that he
will contend for any radical pronounce-
ment on this subject.
There certainly will be lanks pledging
the party to the support of Income tax
legislation, to the election of Senators
by direct vote of the people and to pri-
mary elections.
The protective tariff will be held re-
sponsible for the trusts and the high cost
of living .and there will be a positive
leclaration for rapid tariff revision
•lonnward. Probably the procedure by
schedule as practiced by the present
House of Representatives, will be advo-
mte<i. Tiie tariff work of the House will
be strongly endor.-ed and the President's
tariff vetoes as strongly condemned.
It will be a tariff for revenue plat-
form. All factions are committed to this
plank, and if there is any difference of
opinion It will be on phraseology rather
than policy.
Clark Will Throw
Strength to Elect
Parker Chairman
Continued From Page One.
Appropriations Committee. Verily, Tam-
many has much to gain and little to
lose in the nomination of Clark.
This has been the typical day-be-
fore-the-convention day, with parades of
marching clubs, the playing of popular
airs bv good, bad and indifferent bands,
and the cheering and caper-cutting of
marauding and boisterous groups of
boosters from the backwoods and from
the city. The 'Houn' I)awg'" song for
Clark, the Princeton yell for Wilson,
"Dixie" for Underwood, howls for Har-
mon, hurrahs for Marshall, and all man-
ner of shouts for Gaynor, are keeping
the Monumental City thoroughly awake
tonight.
Tomorrow may tell the whole story.
DEBATE IS NOT PROLONGED.
' The debate over the temporary chair-
manship at the meeting of the National
committee tonight was not prolonged.
Representative Talbot, the Maryland
member, severely criticised Mr. Bryan
and said the Nebraskan had assumed
the role of dictator to the Democratic
party.
"I, for one," said Mr. Talbot, "do not
propose to submit to the dictation of
this man or any man."
8enator Newlands of Nevada, sitting
in the committee with a proxy, defend-
ed Mr. Bryan. The Senator declared
that he did not yield to the dictation
of any one man, but that he did not
regard Mr. Bryan as a dictator, but as
the representative of progressive prin-
ciples endorsed by the Democratic party.
When Urey Woodson, committeeman from
Kentucky, voted for Parker against James,
lie explained that Kentucky did not wish
to place James' name before the com-
mittee. He said he had talked with Mr.
James and had been assured he was not a
••andidate. In addition, he said, Kentucky
delegates had Instructions that .lames'
name bp not placed before the committee.
Robert Ewlng. committeeman from Louis-
iana, a Wilson supporter, plai*ed James'
name before the committee.
Edward U. Ooltrn of Missouri, a Clark
man. explained that he voted for James
because he was supporting Clark. This
was taken by many to mean that iftie
Bryan forces in the convention would re-
ceive assistance from the Clnrk supporters
when the fight against Parker is taken
to the floor tomorrow.
Chairman Mn« k called the adjourned ses-
sion to order today and almost immediate-
ly the committee appointed to try to har-
monize the Bryan and Parker factions
reported its failure. Soon after the vote
to deride whether the committee would
uphold the subcommittee selecting Judge
Parker for temporary chairman was taken.
The action of the committee is expected
to result in a hitter factional fight on the
floor of the convention and a struggle for
supremacy between the Bryan Democrats
and so-colled conservatives that may affect
the presidential nomination.
VOTE IS POLLED.
The vote on the temporary chairmanship
was announced as follows:
For Parker: .lames Weatherly, Alabama;
A. J. Mlchelson. Arizona; Guy B. Tucker,

known as the Roger Sullivan delegation,
turning down the case brought by the
ITarrlson-Hearst faction Twenty-six seats

SUFFRAGE IS PREDICTED
TRIES"PLANTJUICE"
LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER SAN
ANTONIO LADIES, FINDS IT
TRULY MARVELOUS.
Former Governor Pardee of California
Says "Votes for Women" Is
Winner.
CHICAGO, June 24.—Former Governor
CJeorgo C. F&rdee, of California today
made the prediction that woman suffrage
soon would become universal in the Unit-
ed States, speaking at a luncheon given
at the Hamilton Club in honor of Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter and Mrs Isabella
W. Blaney, women delegates from Cali-
fornia to the recent Republican National
convention.
"1 can say in behalf of California that
since we have had equal siffr:ige there
has been absolutely no cause in the State
to regret the step that has been taken,"
said Mr. Pardee.
"We have seen that women have, with-
out exception, stoo:l for the betterment
of conditions. Womeu suffrage is 'in the
ring' and whether we like it or not, we
have to accept it. In .t short time woman
suffrage will win out in every State in
this country."
Like thousand# of other San Antonio
ladies. Miss A. Bright, a talented profes-
sional nurse, has tested "Plaut Juice,"
found it a marvelous tonic and specific
and is enthusiastically recommending it
to her frieuds.
Miss Bright resides nt 616 Avenue C, San
Antonio. She has suffered with nervous-
ness and "Plant Juice" was recommended
to her as a general tonic and nerve food.
She tried it, and is delighted over the re-
sults.
As a nerve feeder and as a general tonic
for the worn out or rundown condition of
the vital organs "Plant Juice'' stands with-
out a rival.
When we say "Plant Juice" will benefit
you immediately, we mean that your ap-
petite will improve, food digest better,
sleep more soundly, and feelings of
' languor, depression, morbiduess and per-
haps timidity will leave you; you will
feel brighter, more confident and be more
fit for the duties of life. If you suffer
with stomach, kidney, liver, nerve or blood
trouble you will find your ailments grad-
nally vanish. "Plant Juice" is purely vege-
table. mild and harmless, yet powerful and
t-apid in corrective and restorative action.
I lou t delay trying It. Call at once at
our "Plant Juice" demonstration station
at Fischer's, corner Alamo and Houston.

BRYAN MAY BE CANDIDATE.
Frieuds of Bryan served notice on the
committee this afternoon that if the selec-
tion by a subcommittee of Alton B. Parker
as temporary chairman 1m ratified by the
committee they would nominate Bryan on
the floor to oppose Purker.
Bryan said to Jerry Sullivan of Iowa,
who called on him to talk over the tempo-
rary chairmanship situation:
"If no one else can be found to make
the fight I will be t^e candidate for tem-
porary chairman myself."
Bryan said at noon after Mr. Sulllvifn
had left:
"There will be a progressive candidate
for temporary chairman against Mr. Park-
er. If the progressives cannot agree upon
a candidate for temporary chairman I
will bo a candidate myself for temporary
chalrmau unless I can find a man who
will be satisfactory to us."
Bryan said that he would not take up
the fight on temporary chairmanship in
the National committee and that it would
be fought out In the convention.
Asked if he had found a man for tempo-
rary chairman, Mr. Bryan said he had not.
Atfer making known his intention to
run as temporary chairman in case no
other progressive was determined upon,
Mr. Bryan ordered a poll taken of all ar-
riving state delegations to ascertain how
they stood upon the issue of progressivism
as against conservatism.
COMMITTEE DREADS BRYAN.
That the National committee felt the
potency of Mr. Bryan's influence became
early this afternoon wlieu a recess was
taken to permit a "peace committee" to
call on him. The first move of this com-
mittee, composed of National Chairman
Norman E. Mack and Vice Chairman Hall,
was to bring Judge Parker and Mr. Bryau
together at a conlerence. It was said that
Judge Parker went over mauy of the
points of his "keynote" speech with Mr.
Bryan in the hope of convincing him of
the progressive note that it would strike.
The effort was unavailing. Mr. Bryan
soon left the eouference held at the Nat-
ional committee headquarters, assertiug
that while the interview was "most pleas-
ant indeed" he had failed to change his
attitude on the temporary chairmanship.
As the doors of the conference room open-
ed and Mr. Bryan stepped briskly out
Judge Parker could be seen within look-
ing wistfully out over the city. The con-
ference had been on one of the upper
floors of the hotel.
A moment later Mr. Bryan had dls
appeared, Chairman Mack came out and
asked where he had gone. When told,
however, he made no effort to follow, re-
turning to the conference room for a few-
minutes with Judge Parker and. Vloe
Chairman Hall. As these three finality
emerged they announced that the commit-
tee would go ahead and approve the selec-
tion of Judge Parker, let the fight come
as it would.
FIGHT TO FOLLOW PRAYER.
The fight will come after the opening
prayer has been uttered by Cardinal Gib-
bons tomorrow, when National Chairman
Mack presents the name of Judge Parker
as temporary chairman
The convention will get under way to-
morrow with seven avowed presidential
aspirants in the field, no one of them with
enough delegates instructed or pledged to
carry them near the two-thirds vote re
quired to nominate 728. It had been ex-
pected by mnny political observers that
during the two w»*eks preceding the con-
vention some of the aspirants might form
a coalition but no such thing has oeurred
and this. Mr. Bryan's friends declare,
augurs well for him. Mr. Bryan will have
his opportunity to spenk before the con-
vention towards ita dose and aome of the
presidential boomers here plainly are nerv-
ous as to the effect he might have
If he as temporary chairman of
the convention Mr. Bryan Is slated by his
state delecathm 'or the committee on re
solutions and undoubtedly will be i hoaen
Ita chairman. As such be would have s
leading part In framing the party plat-
form and would present It In person to the
convention lust prior to calling the roll of
States for presidential nominations
The *eren avowed presidential aspirants
are Governor Wood row Wilaon «»f New
Jersey. Speaker «'hanip *'lark of Missouri.
Representative • »»scar W I'nderwood of
Alabama. Governor Judson Harmon of
Ohio, Governor Simeon Baldwia of Con-
necticut, Governor .lohn E. Burk of North
Dakota and Governor T. R. Marshall of
Indiana.
OTHERS MENTIONED
Outside of these the men most talked of
are Mr. Bryan, Mayor Gaynor of New
York and Governor John A. Dix of New
York.
The strength any of these secondary
candidates could davelop in the event of a
deadlock could not be estimated tonight.
Govern or Marshall will receive the thirty
votes of Indiana on the first ballot, bur
no other Immediate strength is visible for
him. Mayor Gaynor's boom at present is
wrapped up In the activities of several
"Gaynor clubs," which have opened head-
quarters, but it depends upon New York's
attitude on the temporary chairmanship
nud the outcome of the fight to be made
on the floor tomorrow whether New York's
ninety votes will go to Gaynor, Dix or
some other New York favorite or will be
thrown into the support of one of the
recognized candidates.
The Indiana delegation at its meeting re-
newed allegiance to Governor Marshall.
Senator Shlvely will present his name to
the convention Thursday and it probably
will be seconded from within the delega-
tion. The Marshall for President Club
reached Baltimore this afternoon, equipped
with a band and with paper roosters at-
tached to the hats of the 200 or more
marchers. For a time Governor Marshall's
candidate held the undivided attention of
the crowds on the streets and in the hotel
lobbies. The New York Gaynor Club and
the Italian Gaynor Club of New York ar-
rived with big delegations today and were
met by the Maryland Gayuor Club. The
combination has headquarters, bands and
parades to boost the candidacy of the New
York mayor, notwithstanding the fact that
there is yet no certainty that his name
will be presented.
Governor Burke of North Dakota, who is
to receive the ten votes from that State
on the first ballot, has thus far figured
but little In the convention activities. He
is more nearly the typical "dark horse'
than the other candidates in the "second
line," whose friends are sparing no adver-
tising to emblazen their virtues to the
world.
Mr. Bryan frequently during the last
few mouths has declared he was not in
any sense a candidate, hut it is difficult
to find a State delegation in which he
is not discussed as a possibility. One
claim put forward by Mr. Bryan's sup-
porters is that with him in the field there
might ensue a coalition with some of the
disaffected Republicans in the third-party
movement.
Up to this time, however, delegates here
have given comparatively little thought to
the presidency. The sharp contest be-
tween Mr. Bryan and the majority of the
National committee over the selection of
Judge Parker as temporary chairman has
overshadowed everything else.
Those in charge of the various candidates
are doing all in their power, however, to
create noise and enthusiasm for their prin-
cipals. In contrast to the methods of the
Chicago convention the statements put out
merely extoll the respective candidates
without casting aspersions on the others.
Priueipal campaigning is in the way of
distributing copies of the "houn' dawg"
song, hats stamped with the candidates"
names, banners and posters and all manner
of contrivances.
OZARK SONGSTERS ARE THERE.
Songs clubs have been imported to sing
of the famous Ozark hound—the fbattle cry
of the Clark forces—while others are ren-
dering selections, extolling the virtues of
Wilson, Bryan and other candidates.
There are plenty of bands and marching
clubs in town nud in many of its aspects
and spectacular features the convention
resembles some of the old-time political
gatherings. Good nature seems apparent
despite the crowded conditions that have
confronted many delegates and vlsltori.
Baltimoreans are making a carnival of
convention week.
The streets tonight teemed with sight-
seers and merrymakers. They blocked
many of the thoroughfares. Delegates
moving from one hotel to another found
themselves blocked at almost every turn,
while ingress or egress at the headquarters
hotels was well nigh impossible.
SEES MUCH PROSPERITY AHEAD
Edward A. Faust of St. Louis Pleased
With Texas Conditions.
Edwafrd A. Faust of 9t. I»uls, son-in-
law of A'lolphus Busch, the millionaire
brewer of St. l.ouis, was In San Antonio
yesterday on a brief business trip. Ho
left for Italian !ast night where he goes
to see what progress is being made on
the Adolphus Hotel, one of Mr. Busch's
bis Investments In the State.
Mr. Faust, who was a guest at the St.
Anthony Hotel, said that from his ob-
servation and data that had been given
him Texas can look forwaid to one of the
greatest years of prosperity the common-
wealth has ever exDerienced.
