Sunday, as he sat in the shade in front of
the River Rest hotel on the banks of the
Raritan. 4 mile and . half from Bound
Brook. N. J. Mr.. Harrity's wife and child
rem are spending few weeks there until
his plans are fu ly formed. While the little
ones played on the lawn the new chairman
received visitor cordially and chAttsd
about his plans and movements for the near
future.
Il am going to Philadelphia this even-
ing" said he, land some time tomorrow I
shall run up to Harrisburg. I shall DO in
New York on Wednesday next. and will
then announce the campaign committee.
the executive committee and possibly the
advisory COMMITTEES. Al the present time,
as you may judge, my attention 10 mainly
directed to picking out the gentlemen who
arc to serve on these committees"
"Will you indicate any person who may
be named on any of them?"
mo, ] do not care to anticipate. Late
changes may be necessary, and I will not
make them public until the last possible
minute.'
"Will tbs advisory committee be kept
secret, ss that of the republicans will be?''
"Oh, no. shall make the names public.
We have nothing to conceal AZ to our or
aanization."
"What about headquarters?"
"You onn say that the national headqusr-
ters will be opened by Aug. l. The build
ing will be secured this week. What house
We shall take cannot sav now. do not
think We shall be located very far from ths
Fifth Avenue hotel and the Hoffman house,
still, there il no special desire to have the
headquarters near tho hotels; If We are fal
away We are likely to have fewer visitors
and they are not likely to stay 80 long"
From a source almost as authoritative al
able to give both parties piece of news

paign will be conducted by the national
committee and tho three committees subor-
dinats to it. There is to be an exsoutiv.
COMMITTEES Of twenty five. campaign com
| nittes of nine and an advisory committee
CT number not yet -de,ided upon, bu1
probably Ct four or tive members. People
| have wondered what the duties of these
three executive committses will be. Here
| they arc clearly osnned:
The executive committee. which is the
| largest, will continue in existence for the
next four years, or as long as the national
committee lasts. 1t will transact all the
business of the national committee not con.
nscted with this campaign and on which
the national committee, as whole
may not see fit to act. 1t will also
have vested in it something of
campaign committee and Of the national
chairman in conducting the compsign
will be subject to tho approval of the exec
utive committee. The campaign commit.
tee, as its name indicates. will have active
charge of this campaign, and the members
will devote most of their time to the ma
tional ticket. Aided by the advisory com
mittee. they will determine the policy and
plan of campaign. and the campaign com
mittee will execute the policy. 1t will, in

The campaign committee as a body viii
consider all details of organization work
outside of eaking and literature. If re-
ports come in of defsotions in the party
| they will be looked after. If there are two
candidates for congress in district whiot
is close and might otherwise be carried
members of the committee will take up tht
question and endenvor to induce one can
didate to withdraw. The campaign COM
mittee will also look after state organiZa
tions and endeavor to bring them into full
harmony with the national committee anC
to supplement- and st enRhten them in
those states which tho democrats are de-
termined to carry.
The advisory committee was oreated for
the purpose of getting the services of men
of experience in politics. There are few
| leading men who are not members of the
national committee but whose advice aut
assistance are desired. l hev arc expected
| to give that advice and share in the re-
sponsibility of the campaign by being Off
cially connected with it. They are alst
expected to assist in supplying what the
democrats call fiat" in speaking Of the re-
publioans and "sinews of wa," in speakin,
of themselves. and will be in constant com.
munication with Chairman Harrity.
