An Attssnsy's Plan to Pix the caiifernia
Vote
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IA plan
for fusion Of the electoral vote Of the
state so a. to allow Bryan to poll the
full vote Of both the Democrats and
'Populist parties, while allowing each to
vote for its special vice-presidental can
didate, has been evolved by Franklin
X. Lane. a local attorney, and has been
sent to the chairman Of the state CEN
tai committees. The scheme is thus set
forth for California. but its author says
It may be made applicable to many
other states. 1t reads as follows:
California having nine votes in the
electoral college. the state committees
of both parties should agree upon an
electoral ticket composed of both Dem
ocrats and Populists. The number of
bach on the ticket is of little conse-
quence. AS there were at the last cleo
tion about half as many Populist votes
cast as Democrats, the electoral ticket
might be made up of six Democrats and
three Populists. But the number of
each, as will be shown later, is of no
Importance.
This electoral ticket Of the Democrats
and Populists shall be voted for by both
parties on the understanding that If the
Populists cast more votes in the state
than the Democrats. the nine electors
Democrats and Populists-shall vote for
Watson for vio-president We can
judge the strength Of the two parties
by their vote on some state office on
which party lines are drawn. The only
state official voted for in Cahf<snia at
this election is the lieutenant-goVernor.
Therefore let 1t be agreed between the
state committees and electors that II the
Democratic vote for lieutenant-gover-
nor is greater than the Populist vote for
the same Office the nine electors shall
vote for Bryan and Sewall, or If tRe Pop
ulists out vote the Democrats that all
/ nine shall vote for Bryan and Watson.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The national ex-
ecutive committee Of the gold standard
conference which meets in Indianapolis
next Friday, having in charge the ar
rangement of preliminaries for the con-
ference, made an announcement today
to the effect that thirty-one states will
participate in that meeting. The an
nouncement was made after going over
the responses to the address recently
issued as the result of the gathering at
the Auditorium, where Gen. Bragg and
Senator Villas differed in a sensational
way as to the policy Of an immediate
call for national convention. Chicago
is favored for the convention, but De-
troit, Indianapolis and Minneapolis are
candidates. The national executive
committee, which held it's conference
today in the Palmer house, consisted of
Gen. Bragg, Wisconsin; j. o. Broadhead,
Missouri; w, B. Haldeman, Kentucky;

Indiana. All the members of the COM
mittee were present. The committee
at o'clock in the morning met and re-
i
o'clock in the afternoon. The advices
from thirty-one states, Mr.. Bynum and
Mr.. Robbins reported, were such as to
warrant the certainty that all of them
would be represented at Indianapolis
After canvassing in detail the corre-
spondence, it was found that the gold
standard men of seventeen states had
already organized and named their COM
mitteemen to the Indianapolis confer
nece. The committeeman thus far

bound to support the ticket. 1t says,
further, that Bryan is a full-fedged
Populist and that the Populist party is
