SIXTH EDITION CLOUDY: SHOWERS; Funrlse. 8uriet. :32. OL. XXXNTrl FEELTHEIR WAY They (Will Take Care Not to Offend the Radicals at the St Louis Convention.

DELICATE TASK IS AHEAD Maying of the Will Probably Devolve on the Anti Bryan Wing The South a Factor. By J. r. Hornsday, tff Correspoadeat The Indianapolis Vfni,) ST. LOUI8.

July S. The first business tho conservative Democrat have on hand it that of reaching an amicable understanding with reference to the Important convent'on assignments. They foresee the neceHslty for harmonious action If they! are to defeat the radical at every turn In the road. If Bryan and hie followers 'ju1d be eliminated, spirited contents among conservative" lenders over the choice committee chairmanships would, no doubt, develop, but tinder the circumstances every effort will be made to settle the questions relating personal ambl tlons before the various Committees met to orgnnlxe. It is pretty weir understood that both David li.

Hill and Arthur Pue Gorman want to be chairman' of the committee on resolutions, but the presence of Rryan will forco the friends of each conservative candidate to agree in advance on the man to be backed by the conservatives for the chairmanship. A like situation exiHs with reference to the other committees. Unbroken Front the Plan. i While the national commute la grinding out the contestr, Monday, the State lenders will confer with men of national reach In politics and It Is the expectation and hope of the conservatives that agreements nay be entered Into under which that wing of the party will be able to present on unbroken front at every point. The word lias gone out "from tho conservative camp thut particular enre roust be exercised In selecting men to serve on the committee on credentials.

The national committee, as it now exists, has not the entire confidence of the conservative lenders, and it is the I'lsn to make up a committee on credentials that will stand ready to undo the work of the nntlonal committee If, in making up the temporary roll of 'the convention, it slioul 1 reccgnlie the liryno ienrst people, who are behind about per cent, of the contests. It niut tie siildi however, that the conservative le.iWs have mo; 'confidence In the i committee than they had a few mnntliM Hffo. Orlclnally, It wja a Hryan lut cureful Investigation by conservative arwnts show that many of the comi. tubmen have experienced a th.mjre of henrt. anil, seeing the drift of the jstty, aie now willing to drop Ilryan and the tilings in politics for which he stand.

Conservatives Will Control. "With the first session of the convention Only four off it Is evident to most lusons thut Ue conservatives (who represent different Agrees of conservatism) ftill control the i makeup of the committers and the convention llarlf. Tltl'being the case, the foreknowledge th.it the nominee for President will be a rer resents tlve of the conservative wing cf the purty. tends to detract from the In ttrest surrounding the presidential con test and add to thut attaching to the platform. Tarty lenders were, saying to dny vith one accord that It would be easy for the conservative to organize the com mltWs nnd control th nomination of Hnili.latps, but whether the conflicting tws among conservatives as to what the Platform otijrht to be rould be brought into harmony wna another question.

Conspicuous men In the party who are here throwing up their huts for Judje Parker fuvor an out and out free trade Link in the plntform and talk as If they would never vote for a declaration In favor ef the gold standard. On the other hand, there are plenty of representatives of the party.

7 (Dy W. It. Blodgett. Staff Correspoadeat The Iadlaaapella ewa.) ST. LOUIS.

July fi. Indiana Is cutting a wide swath; at this convention just as It did at the national Republican convention at. Chicago. And the conditions are about the same In a way. Indiana went to Chicago with a desire that one of Its sons be nominated for Vice President.

The State "is here with the same dealre. At Chicago the man most talked about for the second place on the ticket declined to make his personal wishes known. Here the man most talked about for the place from that State does not want to be regarded as a candidate. Indiana at Chicago did not present the name of Senator Fairbanks to the convention and at St. Louis Indiana will not present the name of John W.

Kern. the Same. At Chicago when it became known that Senator Fairbanks would submit to the wishes of the convention. Indiana put on Its hustling clothes but did not make a gaudy display of them. Here the conditions are similar.

No roan from Indiana will urge Mr. Kern. But If It looks aa If there was a desire on the part of the party to nominate an Indiana man. Mr. Kern wl41 be the unanimous choice of the delegates, though there are some party leaders from this State who believe that the nominee for Vice President should be chosen from some other section of the country.

Among the names mentioned are Senator Camroack. of Tennessee; John R. Mclean, of Ohio; Edward C. Wall, of Wisconsin (who Is the candidate of Wls connln for President). Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee; Marshall Field, of Illinois; John D.

Williams, of Illinois, and If the nomination roe to the South, either John Hharpe Williams, of Mlaslwlppl. or Joseph Bailey, of' Texas, will be touted aa the favorites. Would Hold Independents. But while other States are considered, the feeling with a great many of the pnrty leaders Is that the second man on the ticket should come from Indiana. They argue that there are many Independent Democrats in Indiana who would like to see the Vice President from their State, as a matter of prlds, and might for that reason cast their votes for the Republican electors.

The party leaders feel that with another Indiana man for the second place nominee, these voters might be held In line for their party ticket. Thev feel, too that with the Democratic nominee from Indiana hla name woud arid strength to the State ticket and. would helo in localities that are close on local tickets. To Counteract Fairbanks. Indiana Democratic leaders aay they realize that the nomination of Senator Fairbanks la a sturdy blow to Democratic chances Irt Indiana, and they are anxious to do something to counteract that nomination, and hence are using the argument quietly, of course that to nominate Mr.

Kern mould be a rood thing for the party. They sny there Is not much chance for the Democrats to carry Illinois. Mississippi and Texas arc surely Democratic, and so Is Tennessee. But there Is a fighting chnnce In Indiana, if Indiana should have a man on tho national ticket. Taggart and Chalrfnanshlp.

Indiana' has a candidate for national chairman. Of course, Thomas Taggart is not posing aa a regular candidate, but ho will not have to be coaxed very hard to get him to accept the place. In fact, whenever Tom is not looking, his friends are urging that be be chosen, and Tom doea not look at the place where hla friends are at work. Some of the friends of other.iprospectlve candidates declare that the nomination of a man for Vice President from Indi ar.a might interfere with. Mr.

Taggart'a chances for the, national chairmanship, but the men who wish to see Kern nom inated say that his nomination instead of being a detriment to Taggart will renlly be a help to him. But however it may be, It Is agreed that If Indiana can not have both the national chairman and the candidate for Vice President, it will take the chairman Mr. Tuggart reached here at 8 o'clock last nlghf from French Lick Springs, and went at once to the Jefferson. He did not have much to say, about his chances for the chairmanship, because he said he wanted to "fltid out what tbey are doing. But the Indiana crowd threw oft that reserve that characterises them In regard to the vice presidency 011 est ton as relnr Irg to Kern and went out in the field for inr cnairman.

They that Taggart should be the chair man in laei ne baa the work to da. Of course Mr. Tuggart has no Idea of ma inonns are aemanaing; he JUst lets It go, and Is willing to trust to them to do the right But all the same, he msnaged to throw a spear or two Into the Ilenrst boomers, who do not want Tsrgart recognised, because of what they call the high handed and undemocratic manner in wnicn he captured Indiana for Parker.

The popularity of Taggart was demonstrated last evening, for he was the most sought for man about the hotels and the correspondents flocked around him by the score. Overmeyer for Mile. One prominent figure In the crowd hero Is Daniel Overmeyer, of Topeka, who is at the head of the delegation from that State. He is a. former Indiana man and lived at North Vernon, where his brother.

Now he la booming General Miles for President and has his srn ech ready In the event that the friends of Miles present his name to the convention. He says President Roosevelt is more afraid of Miles than any name mentioned yet.

He says Miles Is a Iemocrat. not a Prohiintlonlst. The use of Miles', name at the Indlannpolla ITohlbltton conven 1 wa.9 unauthortxed. be saya, and Miles will take the Democratic nomination' if he can get it. Not Cleveland, Say Taggart.

KOKOMO. July 2. Sentenced to prison for larceny, Charles McGowan. a young man, whose case is of Unusual Interest to criminologists, was. taken to the Reformatory at Jeffersonville to day.

When he heard the words that committed hire to ptisan. JUrGoyan. cried like a child and exclaimed In anguished "I couldn't help It, I couldn't help it. I was born to steal." For the last two years McGowan has been under suspicion as a thief, while from other forms of vice he kept himself fre without the least apparent effort. Fifteen years ago, when he was little more than a.

baby, Albert Patterson was brought to this city. with a number of other New York waits, and he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. George W. McGowan.

McGowan 'a Good Boy. He was obedient to his foster parents, and studious at school, and waa considered a model child until he began to approach young manhood. Then he became a thief. His foster father died everal month? ago, and. while' the boy was affectionate toward his foster mother and, appa'rently.

avoided other forms of evil doing, he became a brazen thief. Time and again the stolen property was returned or paid for by Mrs. McGowan. Ten days ago young McGowan was arrested for. house breaking.

He acknowl edged his guilt when he was arraigned in court, and Judge Elliott decided to give him one more chance. McGowan was released. I Returns to Robbery. Thursday night he robbed the home of Charles Hulllnger, and for this crime he was sentenced to prison. McGowan was in tears when he was taken before the court for sentence yesterday afternoon, and his anguished outcry against fate that had decreed he should be a thief brought tears to the eyea of almost every one in the courtroom.

Judge, Elliott said it was a case with which he hardly knew how to deal, but that the Reformatory seemed to present the only means for keeping the young man from evil doing, and to offer the only hope for rendering him an honest man.
