VOLUME XI CAMDEN, S. C.. FRIDAY. 'HU T 10, ri>08. In Session at Denver, Colo., This Week. Proposed Bryan Platform With Resolutions Committee. MAKES ROOSEVELT AN ISSUE | Want* "Predatory Wealth" and "Swollen Fortunes" Dealt With--! Contains Ant i-Xn junction Plank ? The Convention programme. Denver, Col,, Special.- -The Arneri- ! can eagle ami the ; Democratic rooa- 1 ter have vied with eueh other in , giving J)cnver oif|? of the most lurid j Fourth of July in its streuuoue ex- j idtence. Throughout the day streets ; were ablaze with color, an ineesaaut din of cannon and crackers ha? j mingled with the enthumatun or ur- ? riving political delegation^ and long 1 William J. Dryan. trains have crept over the prairie from every ?Y ruction adding their throngs and the elatter of fireworks, here. At nlght the Sntfir Capitol and other public buildings loomed out of the darkness in living (ire with every outline marked by myriad lights, the streets pulsated with convention j thongs an<l the elatter of fireworks; the hotel lobbies were lilled with pol- I itieal leaders, delegates and onlook- I ?rs from every section of the country, j It is estimated that 20,000 strangers are already here and tiO.dOO more are expcefc<*l in the next two days. ' The arrivals included the Missouri flclegation headed by the tall ?r:m 1 1 1 form of Senator Stone; part of the North Carolina delegation headed by Governor < Jlentj who promptly retired- j his candidacy for- the vice presidency, and straggling advance guards of many of the o?hrr delegations. These j ith Judge J'atker. the Detnocratic catnVdnte. of IJM.'l. Colonel Clayton, of Alabama, the si'vt. r-t<?ngued South-; ener, ho will be permanent chairman of the convention; Chief Murphy, of Tnmmnnv Hall, and Governor Has kell. of Oklahoma. a likdv candidate for chairman 'of the platform com mittee, are the chief (inures of nat- j ional interest on. the ground. Denver, Special. ? The platform 1 sent here from Lincoln to the reso'u- ? tioris committtee of !he Democratic , National Convention has been com- , pleted. It follows closely the lines of the Nebraska platform, as written l by Mr. Bryan last March, and is one J of the shortest enunciations of the kind in the modern political history of the country. Opening with a sharp 'challenge to the Republicans for failure to put into their platform specific declara tions upholding: the policies " pro fessecV by the Roosevelt administra tion and arranging the party for its retreat from the ' 4 advanced posit ion" taken by the "titular" leader during the last four years, the docu ment will contain a litting reference to the death of Graver- Cleveland. Platform builders at Denver have these subjects approximately as pre sented above in condensed form to deal with as a basis for their opera tions. Tho Injunction Plank.

Wants Philippine independence recognized. leaders declare that before the com mittee on platform is appointed a substantial agreement will have been reached and that the committee will be relieved of the necessity of a prolonged sitting. In Chicago the fight was against the insertion of any injunction plank at all; here all ad mit the necessity of some declaration President. Tim declaration was made in connection with a discission he indulged in regarding th? action of tlj v Itepublicau National Convention in failing to insert such a plank am he said "after Prssident Hoosavelt and Mr, Tafi had both declared thouiielvee in favor of such action," and was made with a sincerity that left no doubt in the minds of his hearer# that he meant all he said. Split Over Cleveland. Charging that Alton B. Parker'# resolution of tribute to the memory jof the late President Clrover Cleve land is a clover mova on the part of the enemies of William J. Bryan to infuse factional feeling into the national convention, friends of the j Nebraskau are determined to offer a resolution of a character designed ! not to raise controverted political issues. All Democrat*, without regard to factional affiliations, applaud the suggestion coming from New York that the national convention should embrace the 1irst opportunity of honoring the memory of Mr. Clove land, but most of those who have expressed themselves on the subject are of the opinion that the resolu tions adopted should not contain any thing over which there could he the slightest difference of opinion. Mascot Obtained. The Democratic party has secured its mascot for the approaching con vention. It came in the shape of a ' Hock Mountain burro, which was ! presented to Chairman Thomas Tag ' gert, of the national committee, by ; the Denver Times. Mr. Taggart was | unaware of the honor intended for him until the animal was ushered in to bin presence at his headquarters in the third floor of tl-e Brown Hotel. It was duly labeled! in large letters in paint, one side bearing the in scription : . "My name is Denver; ask nie, " the expression having reference to a large badge for residents issued by the citieens' committee for the bene fit of the strangers, reading: "I live at Denver, ask me." The other side was inscribed: "I belong to Tom Taggart." WELCOME ARCH, DENVER, COLO., AT UNION STATION Which Blazed a Welcome to Delegatus to the Democratic National Couveutiou. AUDIiORIUM AY DENVER, WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC NATION AL CONVENTION IS BEING HELD. but many oppose the pronouncement ; for previous notice in injunction pro ceedings. ; There has been much communion with Mr. Bryan on this point, but ap parently liis attitude is not clearly ? understood, and probably it will not ho until bin t'.raft of the platform which he. is understood to be prepar ing is read. It is known, however, that he would ihc stronger langu age than is employed in the Republi can platform. That he is willing to ' go as far as the Federation of Labor demands nunc is disposed to say, but his o loses t friends assert that he does not consider il r.ecessarv to make ? such a sweeping declaration. Tlicy say that Mr. Bryan will himself sug gest what will.be a concession to the I eonser\ at ives and thev predict that ; in the en.i his draft will bo acceptod. Bryan Insists on Publicity Plank. . Lincoln, Xeh., Special.? William J. Bryan, in a speech before the Nebras ka Travelling Men's Club Friday i night, made the significant statement 1 that unless the Denver Convention i incorporated in its platform a campaign contribution publicity plank it niii^ht look elsewhere than : to Nebraska for a candidate for New York Celobrates. New York. Special. ? That patj^ff I ism has kept pace with the rapid growth of the country during the one .hundred and thirfy-five years that i have elapsed since the signing of the : Declaration of Independence was evi i danced on Saturday by the. noisiest ? demonstration in history.

Snow to Cool Hall. ! ? . : tor the first time in the historv j of national conventions an attempt | will bo made in connection with the Democratic convention to moderate the temperature of the hall by the use of snow, and preparations are already und r way for that experi ment. The new Denver railroad, known as the Moffat Line, crosses the conti nental divide 50 miles west of the city and runs through' innumerable | beds of perpetual snow, and this line i has been contracted with to bring to the city laru'e quantities of snow which will be distributed through the hall in barrels. The confident expec tation is that it will vastly improve the atmosphere and at least prove a novelty to the visitors from the States in which snow in the summer is unknown. The hall will seat 12. 000 persons. Probably the most, marked evi dence of preperation to he found is in the new convention hall, a magnifi eent structure which has been erected iji heart of the city at a cost Missionary Conference Opens, at Asheville.
