WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.— President
Roosevelt is keenly alive to the progress
of . the revolutionary movement in
Cuba and the responsibilities of the
United States ill case the conditions
grow worse and intervention becomes
necessary. . * ■/•• •'.
It is known that the president will
not intervene until it appears abso
lutely "necessary, yet. steps have been
taken which would make such Inter
vention effective.
The ships that have been sent, to
Cuba are there for the purpose only of
protecting American interests, and
Americans who may be in danger from
the warring factions.
Actual Intervention would mean the
use of the army.
All the available forces would no
doubt be needsd and will be ready If a
serious situation develops.
Under present conditions the army
has been kept In a better state of prep
aration thun ever before and will be
ready If called upon.
Correspondence between the presl
'dent, the secretary of war and General
Bell, chief of staff, has provided for nil
contingencies. It Is recognized that In
tervention would be no "holiday" affair,
but that an army would necessary, and
In case of Intervention every available
man of the regular army will be used
und will be sent to Cuba as fast as pos
sible. Although no regular transports
are available on the Atlantic coast, It Is
known where, the transports can be
obtained as soon as needed.
Some weeks ago the Sixth and
Twenty-first regiments of infantry
were ordered honje from, the Philip
pines, It being stated that their tour of
service In the Pacific islands was com-
pletnd.
Tha regiments upon three transports
.which sailed last winter for the Phil
ippines will bring available troops to
the Atlantic const, ami also the trans
ports which would be necessary If the
Platt amendment Is Involved.

W. R. HEARST KICKED OUT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY
RESOLUTION UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED AT SACRAMENTO STATE CONVENTION
"Resolved, That in the so-called Independence League we recognize a political machine created by William R. Hearst
for his own political preferment, and of which he ks the undisputed boss, and an ingenious endeavor to forestall and prevent
the nomination for president and to compass the defeat of America's greatest citizen, William J. Bryan.
"Therefore, We denounce such purposes and call upon all true Democrats to oppose such ends."

PAVILION, SACRAMENTO, Sept.
12.— The folowing is the platform
adopted at the Democratic state con
vention, today:
The Democratic party of the state of
California, In convention assembled,
hereby adopts the following program:
All of the many problems of the gov
ernment which now confront the people,
resolve themselves at last Into this:
"Shall our national, state and>. mu
nicipal government be administered by
a small body of men who have been
elevated to power through the machina
tions of predatory capitalists and cor
rupt politicians, conspiring to advance
special business Interests, or shall these
governments be organized and adminis
tered by men chosen by the whole body
of the people, who represent the Inter
est of the people and who will conscien
tiously preserve popular rights and
a high standard of political honesty?"
. Nowhere Is the overwhelming im
portance of this one great question, and
the necessity for regeneration 1 of politi
cal , and civic integrity more evident
than in our own state; and we condemn
the subservient ratifying of cut-and-'
dried nominations for high administra
tive and Judicial officers. The time has
arrived when the people of this state,
regardless of party affiliations, should
rebuke the shameless distribution of
political prizes awarded according to
the terms and conditions of pre-conven
toln compacts between "railroad attor
neys" and unscrupulous political
"bosses."
Pledge Support to W, J. Bryan
This convention recognizes the wis
dom with which the Democracy
throughout the land is demanding the
nomination of the great commoner,
William J. Bryan, as the standard
bearer of the Democratlo party at the
next presidential election, and we ap
plaud the widespread movement which
now assures the nomination of this
matchless Democrat, and hereby pledge
him the support of the California De
mocracy.
Government of,' by and for the peoplo
demands simple and direct forms and

methods for nominations, ballots and
elections.
We declare in favor of the direct
nominations of candidates for ajl offices
at the primary elections oy the voters
of the several parties and without the
Intervention of nominating conventions,
this direct nomination to be effected
under the system known as the direct
primary, now successfully In operation
in numerous states. In order that this
may be accomplished and that thereby
boss rule may be eliminated from the
polities of California, we pledge the.
legislative candidates of the Demo
cratlc party to work and vote In the
event of their election for the adoption
at the next session of the legislature of
a direct primary law;
Favors Australian Ballot
We favor the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people. Until legislation to that
end Is enacted, we favor the extension
of the direct nominating primary to
that office.
We -also demand the amendment of
the law for nominations by petition, so
as to provide that candidates for omce
may be nominated and such law pro
vide that candidates for office may be
nominated and their names placed upon
official ballots by certificate or petition
signed by fifty voters, or by 3 per cent
of the voters, whichever number is the
smaller, qualified to vote for such can
didates and upon the payment of the
cost of printing such names upon the
ballot. « •■ :
Wfl favor a return to the Australian
ballot. The present forfn of a column
ballot and cunningly devised and cum
bersome methods for placing names of
candidates for office upon ballots, to
gether with the use of certain voting
machines und permitting the voting for
many candidates by a single act of tha
voter, defeats the wishes of the voters
and perpetuates the existence of politi
cal trickery through the manipulation
of paid agents of corrupt corporations
and political bosses. Simple ballots,
contusing the names, alphabetically
arranged, of candidates for office
grouped together under the head of the
name of the ofllce to be filled, should be
provided and the voter required to
vote for i each candidate, separately.
We believe In the publicity of cam
paign contributions and are opposed to
contributions for political purposes by
corporations, and we pledge our legls-

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 12.—Enter
ing the southland for the first time In
two years, W. J. Bryan today received
a welcome ; that in warmth and spon
tanlety has not been surpassed by any
of the greetings given him' since his
return (ronShls tour of, the wojld. . ;
<. Hla arrival !ln ;the! iltx ; : provoked, a
great ■ outburst of acclamations from
thousands of marchers and yet more
thousands on the streets. ■■
"His reception at the armony tonight,
where he addressed a throng of 12,000
people, was nothing less than a vol
canic eruption of enthusiasm.
Although the attendance of southern
notables was smaller than at first ex
pected on account of Mr. Bryan's re
cent acceptances of numerous Invita
tions from other southern cities, still
the massmeeting at the armory was a
representative southern gathering;
graced by the Kentucky leaders^ of
Democracy, a number of prominent
Democrats from other southern states
and a great mass of citizens from Ken
tucky and Indiana.
. Mr. Bryan was welcomed to Ken
tucky by his whilom opponent, Henry
Watterßon, who presided over the
meeting. The other speakers preced
ing Mr. Bryan were Senator Carmack
of Tennessee, representing the south,
and Senator W. J. Stone of Missouri,
who introduced the guest of honor.
Demonstration Lasts Ten Minutes
When Mr. Bryan entered the hall
leaning on the arm of Mr. Watterson
there was a demonstration that lasted
ten minutes, thousands of flags being
waved in unison with the. surges of
cheers that swept over the throng.
Mr. Wattcrson's welcoming speech
touched off the pentup enthusiasm al
most at the start and when at the close
he pointed to Mr. Bryan and said: .
"Here he Is; God bless him, and give
him wisdom," the audience yelled^ for
five minutes.
The demonstration that greeted Mr.
Bryan on his entrance to the hall was
renewed as the Nebraskan arose to
speak. Mr. Bryan announced that he
wouldV'read a statement concerning a
topic which had been generally dis
cussed since he had touched on It dur
ing his speech at New York."
He then read his statement, which is
in part as follows:
"In my speech at the New York re
ception I made some remarks concern-
Ing the government ownership of rail
roads and I thought I had expressed
myself so clearly that my position
could not be misconstrued even by those
who desired to misconstrue it. The
New York speech was prepared in ad
vance. It was not only written, but it
was carefully revised. It stated ex
actly what I wanted to state, and I
have nothing to withdraw or modify In
the statement therein made."
