I CIPATED ITS THEIR 'MAN OR NOB OD Y, THE DELEGATES SAY Friends of Craig, Hornend Kitchin Will Go in to Fighter Their Man Until the Bitter F'j Great Craig Demonstration Yesterday. FROM A STAFF Charlotte, N. C, June 23. The end of the last day prior to the convention brings no material change in the situa tion at least none visible to the naked eye. Lines are being tightened and weak places strengthened and a general preparation for tho great battle of to morrow is in progress. Caucuses of the various fortes have been. held and final instructions given to the active workers. Tho three headquarters have given out interviews breathing detianco and pro claiming tonfidence in the situation. The Kitchin men say they will win before the fifth ballot is taken; the Craig side claims that as soon as tho break starts Craig will forgo ahead, and tho Home folks boast that they control the situa tion and it is Home or nobody with them. ' -,'-. A big Craig demonstration occurred here todiy when tho Craig special from the west arrived, about five hundred men representing all of Craig's western coun ties marched through tho streets with flying banners and accompanied by the blare of bands and sougs of. triumph. The westerners say the west wants all of the offices, and that they will have them or know the reason why. Large delega tions representing Kitchin and Homo came in today, and still more are to fol low. The streets are brilliantly lighted and thousands of delegates and spec tators throng the streets, and all an full of excitement over the approaching contest. Tomorrow will mark an epoch in the history of the Democracy in Xwrth Carolina. Half Century Between Meets.

The hottest day of the year brought death and suf fering to Chicago. Seven deaths were re ported to the- coroner's office and heat prostrations were numerous. In addition a mad dog scare spread through the city and the chief of police ordered his men to shoot all unmuzzled dogs. .-'. A similar order issued in Morton Park, a suburb, resulted in the killing of forty canines in a few hours. The thermometer reached 04 degrees at five o'clock this afternoon. '.--. Scores Prostrated in New York. New York, June w 22. A severe heat wave which has enveloped the eastern states for three days prostrated over a score of persons in and about New York today. Ne relief is promised for two days by the weather bureau and hospitals are preparing to Handle any number ot cases tomorrow. All New York and its environs swelter ed today and tonight. There was little reduction in the temperature, which reached a maximum of 80 degrees at the weather bureau at one o'clock today. Should the heat continue the public parks will be thrown open to all who wish to sleep on the lawns. Bell Renamed In Georgia-' Gainesville, Ga., June 22. Congress man Thomas M.

GEORGIA DELEGATES WILL Democrats Meet In State Convention, Elect Delegates, Hand Tom Watson a Lemon, and Ratify Joe Brown. Atlanta, Ga., June 23.-Georgia will send an uninstructed delegation to the Democratic convention at Denver, The Democratic state convention met here to day, selected delegates to the Denver convention, formally ratified the nomin ation of the state ticket headed by Joseph M. Brown for governor, which was 4osri at the recent primary, and adopted platform. ' A resolution indorsing Thomas E. Wat son for the second place .on the Demo cratic national ticket was overwhelming ly defeated. The platform urges strict control of U public utility corporations; plodgcs the strict and just enforcement of the present state prohibition law and CORRESPONDENT. tained a Democratic state convention, and now after this long lapse of time it is about to repeat that performance. A few men who attended the convention of 1858 are here for this latter day af fair, and their minds must be filled with strange emotions as they think on the changed conditions that have come to pass. It is not so strange that a town of some 4,000 people should become a city of ten times that number; that was na tural enough. But the succession of re markable events that have occurred since that remote period, bewilders and almost staggers fhe intellect. The great war between the states, the abolition of slavery, the reconstruction period, the renaissance of the south, the change from a purely argicultural to an industrial and agricultural state, the developments of railroads, the birth of electricity these and many other wonderful occur rences liave come to challenge the inter est of mankind. About the only similarity between the present and the days of 1858 is that men are just as zealous and enthusiastic in advancing the interests of tlielr political leaders as they were then. Instead of swearing by Holden and Ellis, it ia now Craig and Kitchin and Home. An Epoch-Marking Event The present contest for the Democratic nomination for governor will mark an epoch in the history of the party. As Mr. Kitchin himself has said in his speeches, it means more than the mere making one of the three governor. He said it would mean the triumph or the defeat of the trusts and the railroads. In reality it will mean whether the radical or the conservative faction shall control the Democratic party. The conservatives in the main are fol lowing the flags of Home or of Craig, most of the radicals are for Kitchin. The fight will also largely settle the question of who shall in future boss the Democratic party. . If Kitchin gets the nomination the Honorable Furnifold M. Simmons will become a minor factor in North Carolina politics. The nomina tion of Kitchin will be a body blow, likewise to the Honorable Charles Brant ley Aycock. The two big chiefs know thfs better than anybody else and that is why they are in Charlotte today fight ing the battles of Locke Craig... They have been of great service to Craig, too, getting votes for him in counties where he would have gotten but few if any. Home's Following Cosmopolitan. The Home following is made up of several classes. The ultra-conservative, the old soldiers, the personal friend and the practical type are following the flag of the merchant-farmer candidate and, consious of the fact that they hold the balance of power, have strong hopes of nominating their man. The present indications are that the convention will be a protracted affair. The gubernatorial fight tnough excit jing the most interest is hot the only j contest going on here by any means; For every Office that is to be filled there are a number ot candidates, ana tney ana their friends are as busy as any of the others are in button-holing delegates and begging for support. Bryan Will Be. Indorsed. It is likely that the convention will be in session all of Wednesday night and all day Thursday. It may even be longer than that. It is practically certain that Bryan will be indorsed and delegates to tho national convention instructed. Chair man Chatham as good as admitted this to the writer. Mr. Chatham did not say so but it is understood that he is opposed to instructing for Bryan. Speak er Justice says the resolution will cer tainly pass and that it will be one of the first things done by the convention, Ho may introduce the resolutions; at any rate he will support them. It is a Bryan convention beyond any doubt al though there are members of the con servative Democrats here who are op posed to him and say he cannot win. Every train thnt has come to Charlotte-today has brought a crowd of dele gates and rooters. Everybody is wear ing a badge of some sort. The Kitchin (Contiuued on Page Two.)

JOHN WARD, Who Was IDE ELLIS IB Declares That Nebraskan's Charges Are Unworthy a Can-x- dldatc for President C0ULDNT PLEASE EVERYBODY Columbus, O., June 22. Attorney -General Wado H. Ellis, of Ohio, who wag a member of the committee on resolu tions of the Republican national conven tion, issued tonight replies to criticisms of the platform made by W. J. Bryan. The attorney-general's statement in pa it follows: "The charge made by Mr. Bryan that the '.Republican-' declaration with respect to the nso of the writ of injunction was designed to 'deceive the laboring man' is unworthy of a candidate for President, and the further charge that this plank merely declares the existing law and will give no relief in those cases in which there has been an abuse of discretion or the apprehension of it, is unworthy of any lawyer who - has examined this question. The anti-injunction resolution is a frank, clear statement of the Re publican party's position on a question on which others have been attempting to deceive labor. Tho sole basis of any rational complaint .as to the issuance of injunctions in labor cases has been the use of the writ without notice and the long delays in some instances which have intervened before a hearing of the case. Tho present statute does not re quire any notice at all before the 'grant ing of a' temporary order, and it is en tirely within the discretion of tho court to postpone to any time tho judgo may see fit the hearing upon the question of an injunction. The Republican plank simply declares that notice shall always b given unless nn irreparable injury will result from delay and, in thai, case, there shall bo a speedy "-hearing provid ed. In other words, tho platform declara tion is designed to give assurance that what is now the general practice, in the federal courts shall be. made universal by statute, in order that hereafter ho course of complaint or .misapprehension shall remain.; This may not satisfy the extremists on either hand, but it was not expeciea to ao t.uu.. . win mees ui approval of every right thinking man, wnetner an employer or an.einpioye,. -. "Mr. Bryan objects further to . the phrase in the . injunction plank - wJiict i molll,)ers for I)mny vcars, and the Rev. proclaims confidence in the. integrity ot ; , R cinughton. rector of Hutton the courts.

The fronf8 t)f faith in the inte?rity of the court; but in view of the Democratic attack in 1890, and the fact that the same forces which then controlled thnt party are once. again in supremo command, it would seem en tirely appropriate for the Republican party not only to remove any possible cause of compiaint in the use of the writ of injunction, but to maKe It clear that it would resent again, as it did in 1800 any attempt to assail the judiciary. "All that anvOne wonts is that the powers of the Federal Courts with re sp'eet to the use of injunction shall be accurately defined by statute, ' to the end that all occasions for complaint in labor cases which happily have been rare 1. thA itnal atiall rl tHfl ntlPnT All Offpthpr 111 k. ..tV..

After a campaign lasting several months, the Close Ot wllieh wnft mnrVnr Tiit ii Kittaw fight, the Locke anti-racing bill was thia .afternoon passed by the Louisiana Sen- am dv a vote ot 21 to 10. The bill passed thi! House several weeks ago and now only -requires the signature of the cov iernor to become Jaw. There appears no doubt that Governon Sanders will sign the bill immediately. it, required zi votes to get the bill through the Senate and the last twenty, four hours before its passase were mark' ed by a desperate effort to muster tho necessary strength. One senator was found to be suffering from some form of poisoning andf another who had commit, ted himself ii favor of the bill did not show up. SeY ral physicians were Dut to work on thv ailins member and two New th-Ieans re rters were sent scurry ing in an auioin ue tnrougn tne .Louis iana marshes ony ninety-mile trip af ter the one whoV "as absent. Both of these senators wi finally gotten on the floor and madeA.he twenty-one votes necessary to carry th bill. A minute or so before nnat passage of the bill a lively and somewhat bitter debate was indulged in by members of the body. Senator Labbe charged that the racing faction had used "knock-out drops" to keep senators away from their sworn duty, and charges and counter changes followed. The passage of the bill was greeted with a storm of applause. The bill pro hibits book-making, parimutuels nia ichines or gambling in any form on races. . . The senator whose illness caused the charges of poisoning to be made was J. s. hmart, or Desoto parish. After Sen ator Labbe's statement about knock out drops had been made, Senator Smart, despite his weakness, addressed the Sen atiy saying that there was absolutely no foundation for the reports that poison had caused his attack. He said he was subject to such attacks. Senator Labbe then explained that his charge as to knock-out drops had not referred to Dr. Smart in particular, and that it was not to be interpreted literally. He spoke, he said, in a figurative sense, intend ing to show the sort of methods the rao ing interests had used. Senator Settoon, of Livingston par ish, the absentee who was searched for with an automobile, was delayed on ac count of a change, in train schedules. When he missed the train on which he had intended to come to Baton Rouga yesterday he had to wait twenty-four hours for another train. With the ex- !H',t,on f vacancy due to death, the full membership of tho Senate was pres ent when tho vote was taken. One vote gained by tho race . track interests, or oven tho failure of one of the Locke bill supporters to vote, would ha vo defeated tho bill. The tension was, therefore, ex, tremo as the roll was called. Twice tho name of a senator whoso no tion had been reported doubtful, was called, and each time that senator voted against tho bill. These two senators wore T. J. Davis, of Vernon irarish, and H. C. Drew, of Calcasieu. Their votes against tho bill left the measure on tho sheer verge of defeat ns the roll pro gressed. Then the name of Smart, ono of the storm centers of the day's debute, was called. Ill and scarcely ublo to re main in his seat, his presence recalled vividly tho recent rollcall on racing in Xcw York. Though weak of voice, his (Continued on Page Two.)
