brethren i'll the West and pledge to it
our enthusiastic support; and we hereoy
name William ]. Curtis as national
committeeman, pro tenn, from New Jer-
sey, with full power to cooperate with
his fellow members of the National Com.
n1ittee, in issuing a call for q National
Convention. or such other business as
they may undertake.
One passage of the principles made
some reference to the income tax, but
Mr.. John Summer of Arlington thought it
better to omit amy allusion to the tax be-
cause Democrats were not quite
unanimous upon that subject.
Judge ]. B. Green of Westfield wanted
It to remain because it was not a Demo-
cratic principle and should be attacked.
The clause after a vote was stricken out.
Captain James j. Parker of Perth Ann
boy approved of the declaration of prin-
ciples. He said he had been Democrat
fifty-six years, and this was the first
time in his life that he had been placed
in the position where he had to think
what he should do.
Il can't vote for Bryan and Sewall" he
declared, 'sand 1 won't vote for Mckinley.
As between the two men / prefer Bryan.
ciple and stands for it, but Mckinley re-
fuses to stand for any principle what
ever"
When the resolution was carried the
meeting unanimously appointed William
]. Curtis for provisional National Com
mttteeman. and the result of tle meeting
was telegraphed to General e. S. Bragg,
Indianapolis.
A committee, consisting of Judge Green,
James ]. Parker, ex-senator Henry D.
Winton. Henry II. Hart and Joseph NJ
Slower was appointed to select State
Committee and State headquarters.
Mr.. Applegate thought this action lit
tie premature. He said that if the move
fnent for third ticket materialized it will
be necessary to hold a State Convention
TO nominate an electoral ticket and that
convention will have the naming of a
State Committee.
Charles H. Barker of Montclair said that
it must not be taken for granted that it
would be necessary to call State Con-
vention. This was a movement within
the present regular organization, and it
was possible that the sound money Demo-
Gratis might control the regular State
Convention and refuse to endorse Bryan
and Sewall an dthe Chicago platform.
The committee appointed will report at
a meeting to be held later.
Mr.. w. ]. Curtis was enthusiastic over
the meeting and he expressed confidence
in the success of the movement. He gave
to the reporters a list of the names of
Democrats who he said would support a
third ticket. and in any event oppose the
election of the Chicago nominees. Here
