Few Contests In tbs Delegations— Dsmorats Looking for Funds —Action of the lows Democracy. Denver, June 20. —Thomas Taggart, chairman of the national Democratic committee, came to town, bringing •long a vice presidential boom which he put forth with much enthusiasm. “Bryan will be nominated on the first ballot, without a doubt, and bls running mate will be John W. Kern, of Indiana. Ms. Kern will be placed In nomination by John E. Tamber, or B. F. Scblveiey, both of that state, and his nomination ought to follow.” This was the greeting Taggart gave to the newspaper men. A little later, when be had been whizzed to the Auditorfnm —the convention hall—he exhibited little less enthusiasm. “The arrangements for the convention are flue,” he said. “I cannot Bee how they could be Improved upon. The Audltorium'is a wonderful piece of architecture, ami everything seems to be in most tiptop shape.”'

Few Delegation Contest*. Chairman Taggart has called a meeting of the national committee for July 4, when the principal business will be to hear and determine the contests for seats as delegates which have been filed. These are comparatively few in number. So fur as filed with Secretary Woodson they Include from the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh districts of New York, the ninth Ohio, and the delega tlon from the District of Columbia. It has been said that several seats from Illinois were to be contested, but as yet no official notice of such Intention has been received.

Mack has reiterated a statement he made at Lincoln Unit it was his belief that no government, ownership of railroads would be in the Democratic platform. “This is the impression 1 gained from a talk with Mr Bryan while I was in Lincoln,'* adde 1 Mack. "1 do not believe that the convention and Mr. Bryan are going to be at virance on the platform. I have a fairly good idea of what the majority of the convention will bo satisfied ■with, and I think I Intve n fairly good idea of what Mr. Bryan has in mind in that connection, and it Is my lielief that there will l>e no considerable difference of opinion between the leaders of the convention and the Nebraskan.”

TROUBLED ABOUT “SINEWS" Democratic Congressional Committee Wanta Money. Washington, .lune 2(l.—The Democratic congressional committee is eon fronting a hard proposition in the matter of money to carry on the campaign, and Representative Lloyd, its chairman, went to New York early this morning for the purpose of breaking into some of the barrels of Democrats in whose loyalty to the party Ito has confidence. The fact is that the committee has begun its work two months ahead of scheduled time this year, ami while it usually mills for money in September It is stated that its work 1< so far advanced that it must now have funds or call a halt in the sending on. of its literature. It has made extensive preparations which it is ready to put into effect in keeping with the early campaign project, Llovd said that he does not expect to have lilh camimign brought to a standstill, and be believes the result of his visit to New York will be to allow him to go ahead with the execution of plans that have been made. FIGHT OVER THE LIQUOR PLANK low* Democrats Have a Tussle on Thai Subject in Convention. Sioux City, June 26.—Enlivened in Its last hours by a spirited content over the “liquor” plank in its platfo.m. the fight on which had been previously waged for four hours in the committee on resolutions, the Democratic state convention was brought to a close with enthusiastic eheers for IViu. J. Bryan and the lowa state ticket. The socalled liquor plank, which was adopted by a good majority, simply affirms the traditional policy of the party with reference to local self .government. The proceedings also witnessed an Interesting fight between four of the leading Democratic Jurists of the state for the nominations for judges of the Supreme court. On. a roll-call vote by

counties D. W. Higbee, of Creston, and Judge C. J. House, of Maquoketa, were the winners by substantial majorities. The resolutions as adopted express gratification over the prospect for the nomination of Bryan; commend Claude R. Porter and Fred E. White, candl- . « . . dates respectively for United State* senator .and governor; demand election of senators by popular vote; denounce “government by injunction and its putative father”; indorce leg slation for improved roads and waterways; denounce prevailing freight rates as a discrimination against the people of lowa, and favor greater powers lor the state railway commission, and demand enforcement of lowa statutes against trusts and illegal combinations. Jerry B. Sullivan, of Des Moines, was the permanent chairman of the convention The state committee organized by the election of Lincoln Price, of Indianola, chairman, and John F. Dalton, oi Manson, secretary.

OTHER FRAUDS ALLEGED Hearst Counsel Says the Gotham Bal lot Boxes Are Stuffed. New York, June 26.—With the practical close of the actual recounting of the ballots cast in the last inayorality election come charges by Clarence F. Shearn, counsel for W. R. Heart, that the ballot boxes have been stuffed. When Hearst began his legal contest for the mayor’s office now occupied by George B. McClellan he had a plurality of 3,834 votes to overcome. The returns from the contests of only forty-six out of a total of 1,984 ballot boxes remain to be recounted, and McClellan’s plurality is still 2,071. Shearn said that the recount of the ballot established the complaint set forth —namely, that there was an excess of ballots In the boxes over the record of the number of voters in many election districts. Later Sheam said that he believed the complainant would still be able to prove frauds sufficiently glaring to invalidate Mayor McClellan's title to his office.

Senator Hansbrough Defeated. Fargo, N. D., June 26.—With at least a third of the counties in the state to hear from the “stalwart” wing of the Republican party seems to have named the state ticket with the [tossible exception of supreme court Justice, and it appears as though Burleigh Spalding. “insurgent,” will be nominated to succeed himself In that office. The missing returns are not likely to change the results materially, and as it stands Hansbrough Is beaten for the United States senate.

He Saw Yale Defeated by Harvard and Says That fa Always His Luck. New York. June 2(1. —Secretary Taft has sustained his first defeat since his nomination for the,.piepidency at Chicago. He witnessed from the observation train the loss of Yale's aquatic prestige on the Thames at New Lou dou, and the besting of the Blue by the Crimson. After the Yale crew had stopped the secretary remarked, resignedly: “It always appears to be my luck to witness the defeats of Yale. In seventeen years we have been defeated but twice—or something like that — and I have seen both of them.” As the secretary greeted Bob Wrenn, the tennis champion and noted Harvard man. after the race he shook bands cordially with hint and remarked, Just a bit caustically: “Well, Bob, inasmuch as Yale could not win today I am glad that Harvard did." No other comment was made by the secretary on the boat race. He was disappointed —extremely disappointed—and Mt* Taft was correspondingly depressed. On his return to New Haven the secretary and Mrs. Taft were driven directly to the residence of W. W. Farnam. They left here today shortly after 9 a. m. for New York.
