rity people, Senator Jones is said to
have made the threat that all national
committeeman who did not take an
active part In .4lle campaign would be
ousted from the committee.
A friend of Mr.. Harrity and the New
York committeeman Mr.. Sheehan, said
when the meeting was mentioned:
II do not think that Senator Jones is
so lacking in political knowledge as to
make that statement. The fact is he
cannot remove member of the commit
tee. and it is a question whether the
committee itself can do it. The commit =
tee is not an executive, and is not judge
of its own members qualifications The
only way a member can be removed is
by the state committee or by his home
committee. Senator Jones has made a
mistake"
Later in the night a friend of Jones
expressed what may be the plan of the
chairman in disciplining the alleged OBJ
stinate members. He said: Il think
that Chairman Jones' attitude has been
misconst1-ued in the matter. He will not
attempt to remove the members of New
York. Connecticut and Pennsylvania,
who nave not taken any part III our pro-
ceedings. But he will do this: The
chairman is making his campaign and
executive committees, and he was given
power to select persons outside of the
national committee. The states of New
York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania
will be represented on the committee,
but not by the national committeeman.
James Kerr will probably be chosen for
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Alex Troop for Con-
necticut and Mr.. William SulZer for
New York, although the latter matter
may be left open until the New York
state committee meets. That may be set
down as Mr.. Jones plan"
Chairman Jones sent forth notice to-
night to all the newspaper men that he
had not yet completed his committee
list fully. In the meantime, the matter
of selecting a national headquarters re-
mains unsettled, but it is conceded that
Washington stands the best chance of
obtaining it.

Error

Bryan Desired to Avoid the Possibility OF
Error
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Hon. William
j. Bryan explained today to a represen-
tative of the Associated Press his rea'
son for reading his speech in reply to the
notification committee of his nomina-
ton at Madison Square Garden. He
said:
knowing that it would be printed in
full, l thought it more important that it
should reach in correct form the millions
who will read it, than that the delivery
should please the few thousand who
were present. 1t is. s.always unfortunate
when a speaker is compelled to read a
speech, but in this instance thought it
best not to risk the errors which always
creep into the report of an extempor-
aneouS speech"
Mr.. Bryan dined at the Windsor hotel
and afterwards continued the confer
ence with those members of the national
committee who are in the city. One
thing which was decided upon at the
meeting was that Mr. Bryan will travel
the country over, addressing the crowds
from the rear of railroad car. An an
nouncement to this effect was prepared
by the chairman of the national COM
mittee. Senator Jones 1t is as follows:
1T has been decided that Mr. Bryan
will enter a lively interest in the cam
paign about September 1se and continue
on the stump until the election. In or
der to obtain a much needed rest and to
prpare the letter of acceptance before
the speech making begins he Will spend
the next two weeks at some quiet place
not yet decided upon
The visit to Bath, Me-, will therefore
be postponed until the latter part of
september, when Mr.. Bryan will make
number of speeches in New England.
Mr.. st. John stated that he did not
know when Mr.. Bryan would leave the
city.
Mrs. Bryan returned to the st. John
residence after the dinner at the Wind
sor and remained in seclusion during the
remainder Of the evening. Mr.. Bryan
returned to the house for the night
shortly before midnight.

CONVENTIONS GALORE
All the Voters of Washington Doing Party
Politics

ELLENSBURG, Wash, Aug. 13.-
Three state conventions have been in
session in this city two days endeayor-
ing to bring about fusion, but at mid
night the question is still unsettled.
irHe conventions appointed several con-
ference committee, which met and SUBJ
m1tted plans for fusion, but they were
all rejected. The conference commit
tees We're in session all afternoon. and
at o'clock tonight they reported to their
respective conventions their inability to
agree upon terms of fusion. The COM
mittees We're all sent back for further
conference without instructions. The
Populists are contending for the lions
share of the offices, claiming that since
they cast more votes than the Democrats
py l2ooo at the last election, they are
ehtltled to name the terms of fusion.
The free-silver Republicans are will
ing to agree to most any terms. as their
chief object is to secureEhe legislature
The Democrats and Populists both
want the governor, and both are un-
yielding in their demand for this office.
James Hamilton Lewis has a strong
following in the Democratic conference
committee, and it is very doubtful If
they will surrender even if it prevents
fusion. If fusion fails, there is a strong
probability Of bolt in the Populist con-
vention, a number of delegates having
already made threats If there is to be
a bolt, it will be led by King, Pierce and
Spokane counties. Until the question
Of fusion is settled candidates are made
secondary considerations.
THE POPULISTS.
ELLENSBURG, Wash, Aug. 13.-The
Populist state convention spent the en-
tire morning and evening sessions in
discussing the platform, which was read
to the convention last night The blanks
which caused the most animated discus
sion were those relating to the reduction
of salaries of officials and condemning
the officials for using railroad passes.
GOV. Teats Of Tacoma was the only
delegate who was in favor OF keeping
salaries at the present standard. He
said that after election wheat would he
worth 81 a bushel, and that present sal
aries would be none too high then
Several delegates commended Mavor
Pennoyer of Portland for what thev
termed his sacrifice in cutting his own
salary in half.
While the delegates appeared ito be
almost unanimously in favor of tba
plank, it took a two hours discussion to
settle the matter. There was a long dis
cussion over the plank condemning the
use of railroad passes by officials and
some bitter feeling was ensendered.
