Washington. July 14-Senator Jones oI
Arkansas who is to measure SWORDS win
,r.-< Hanna in the coming presidential
-s~naien as chairman of the national
s.-,oo-atie committee. arrived in Wash
econ tonight, greatly fatigued from the
,,ss NJ sleep and his exertions as the
..-.s,iire genius Of the free silver move
-rs-t He went directly TO his residence
~, " street. where he found mass ct
letters and kilograms from all parts OF
the country awaiting him.
N,en asked by the Morning News cor
respondent as to the location of the COM
ni,tee headquarters, Senator Jones re-
-rs5 mat he has not fully determined
where he will ests blish his headquarters
although he is seriously considering the
adrisabHty OF locating his headquarters
many advantages to be obtained here that
cannot be obtained elsewhere, besides the
.Nuarfan,a of the bimetallic league, which
had rs headquarters here, proved so sue
,essful that he is inclined TO locate mere.
There are some of the members OF the
committee who contend that Chlcago Is
the most desirable place because II Is
right I'm the heart Of the battle ground
While confessing that Chicago has a few
advantages as to locality, Senator
Jones says the Chicago papers
are an against the ticket and his
experience there convinces him that the
democrats cannot expect fair treatment
at the hands Of the Chicago press.
Senator Jones says he has not had time
to make up the committee that is to aid
him I'M the management of the campaign,
but he expects 10 take the matter under
consideration as soon as he has had rev
days rest. He cOntemplates going out or
town for a few days, where he can Sc
cure absolute rest ana quiet, and then
he proposes to return and go right 10
work on the committee.
Although il IS not definitely settled,
the campaign will not be formally opened
until the early part of August The OBJ
ject of opening the fight in New York
city is 10 show the people In the city that
the democratic party has no desire to hide
anything from them, but to let them
know just what the issues of the Bryan
forces are.
AS 10 the proposition of the gold men
to put another ticket in the field, Senator
Jones says that it is all bosh He con-
tended that all of the states that are
talking about boiling have representa-
tives on the national committee of the
democratic party, and If they call bolt
ina- o9aventiou, they cannot DO 70 as dem
ocrats. He says there is no one who has
authority to call such a convention as
proposed. Certainly they cannot expect
the chairman of the democratic national
committee to issue the call for them.
