Denver. Col July 9 Effort Is be ing made today by the nntl-Bryan-lteatoshow, as a result of the vot ing In Democratic convention Inst night In Uio Guffey case, that Bry uu ihaa not tho necessary two-thirds to nominate him. This claim Is lmneil on the fact that only GIG votes could bo mustered to carry out the 'Bryan plan of ousting tho quffey delegates. If tho delegates Who voted to sustain Curfey wero to stand firm, it Is argued, thoy could prevent tho nomination of Bryan ore the first ballot. In this speculation It Ib however overlooked v that many delegates who -cam hero under posltlvo In structions to voto for Bryan for president, did not consider them selves boUud by Instructions to sup jxxrt oil of his policies, and voted for Guffey.

Desplto tho lntonso heat and the general belief thnt It would bo hours and possibly not until to. morrow, beforo the nomination would bo reached, tho crowd piled Into tho building, filling every seat and standing In the topmost galler ies. Tho delegate! were slow In ar riving. v In tho meantime .tho platform committee, niter brier discussion, had adopted unanimously tho antt. injunction plank an recommended by the sub-committee. It Is said to be satisfactory .to . President Gomp ors, but tho heada of tlu trlamens Oingnuiatlon havo telegraphed a pro test against It to Bryan. After Chairman Boll had secured order, Rabbl Samuel Koch, offered prayer. The report or tlyj committeo oil permanent organization was received and adopted and tlio permanent chairman, Jlenry C. Clayton, of Ala bama was escorted to tho platform. Ho at onco bejsan his speech, ns follows: , -Mr. Chairman and Follow Dcm- ocrattj: This is n Democratic vear. Democratic idoas are now popular. Doctrines always taught by our party and scoffed at by our opponents nro now urged as a gospel or their own. Measures" and policies or Democratic origin aro now pretondedly advocated by tho leaders or tho Republican par ty. It Is no longer ''anarchUtlc" to declare private monopolies to be ln defeiiBiblo or that the great transporta tion companies should bo regulated and controlled by public lay. Former questioning of the decision d! n bare majority of tho supremo court In tho jlncomo tax caso cannot naw be heard, because of tho greater nolso of tho vo hement and embroidered denunciation of Judges and Judicial acts that have shooked the country. A demand for t)io revision of the' tariff Is no longor n throat to deploy our Industrial system. Trusts nro not to bQ tolerat ed cyen by tho Republican party. Wo need not now enlarge on the list df (Republican admissions and promises for election purposes only. Tho Re publican party has mado marked pro. gross In promise, to the peoplo and much greater progress In aiding sel fish Interests and special privileges. That party, guided by oxpedlency and campaign necessity .would camp this year on Democratic ground. If Its ap parent recont progress Is to continue It does not roquiro a very groat nweep of tho Imagination to seo written Into a Republican platform four years henco tluciao abuses and failures on the part of tho pivoont ndmlrilstrntlon. I urge the Impossibility of separating tho present occupant or tho White House from hN own nnnolnted one. lit has been mado evident In the ponding campaign that tho Republi cans will seek to eonjuro with tho name or Roosevelt, and will rely upon tho president's policies as a prized as set. Tho prcsidont ha advertised hlmseir and his policies with a fre quency and ability that surpasses tho best efforts of tho shrewdest press ag ent. A distinguished Republican a former cabinet officer onco publicly proclaimed tho president ta bo the greatest exponent of the art of adver tising the world has known. Tho eountry has boon told and not nllowed to forget that In his opinion his oner, gles havo been devoted to ttito accom plishment of jnany high purpo30i, and iiht. If hi uAnlr In vnf tnntmnlnfn It ,a B0 only ecauso his undertakings 'woro too yt to uo carried to sucoesa during tits term Of oKIco, ( "My policies" must continue; so THE CANDIDATE AT DENVER tho champion of these would trans fer office and power to his fuvorlto cabinet minister, and his spear Is to ho to a fellow. The pretenie Is that tho fight must go on under tho lead er designated by him until tho last foe shall have surrendered ot lies In glorious In tho dust. Tho nomina tion of Ids would-bo successor was larQely accomplished by tho uso of of ficial partonngo and coaro machine methods, and linn delighted tho chief apostlo of strenmslty, and nt the samo time has not perturbed the conscience of tho one.tlmo civil service reform er, now tho boss, a n adept In tho he- !st0wal of public plunder and forget nil of all his resounding moral com monplaces. No fair minded American could read tho dally neeountB of tho recent political doings at Chicago without foellng mortification and re gret; mortification that tho preddent Bhould havo so abided his power In dictating to a. great party his cholco of a successor, and regrot that tho par ty should havo submitted so cowardly to a humiliation thnt was as manifest as It was degrading, What aro the policies which consti tute tho capital of tho Republican par ty In this campaign and that are ro. lied upon to support tho candidacy or Mr. Tart? To recall Democratic platforms, speeches and measures Is to convlneo any man that many of tho president's utterances were derived rrom an avowed familiarity with the teachings Of our party. Ills utterances that are Domocrailc have given him his only claim to bo a roformer and havo con tributed largely to tho popularity he has onjoyed. Tho heir and the parly are committed to 'unfaltering ndher onco to tho policies, of tho prcsidont. What nro these policies and what are tho achievements br president and party? It must bo admitted that tho ro- publlc cannot long survive ir fraud and corruption bocomo material factors In our elections. No man has said nioro than tho president about corrup tion of elections. You recall his mes wigo to congress In Decenibor, 1905, whero he said that ''It has boon only too clarly shown that certain men at tho head of theso largo corpora tions take but small note ot the ethical distinction between honesty and dishonesty; they draw tho lino only this sldo ot what may b'o called law honesty, the kind or hon esty necessary In order to avoid fall.

Under tho glow of thousands ot olectrlo bulbs the convention hall showed to the best advantage. With the vast audlenco In Its place tho night scene was a brilliant one. Apparently It was the opinion or many of the visitors that the night Besslon was to roveal reproduction clr the spectacular scenes enacted during tho day.

The convention, however, did not at once come to ordor, nor did the gontlemen 'take their seats," for the reason that several letter carriers were distributing mall among the delegates and thoy were for the time being more Interested In letteni from home than In reports ot convention mat ters.
