New YORK, Aug. 1s.-Unless every
sign fails Gov. William J. Stone, of
Missouri, will be the next chairman of
the democratic national campaign com.
mittee. If this should prove to be
true-and there appears to be no
reason for doubling the statements to
that effect made here--it is a sad and
overwhelming defeat of the schemes of
the Maryland and Arkansas statesmen.
Mr.. Stone will cease to be governor OF
Missouri in January. His ambition is
to succeed GeorgeG e. Vest in the United
States senate. although, should Mr..
Bryan be elected, he may be secretary
of the interior.
A telegram from Washington con.
tradicts the above, however. 1t says:
Gov. Stone, Of Missouri, will not be
chairman Of the democratic national
campaign committee. This can be
stated on the authority Of Chairman
Jones himself. Gov Stone was offered
