NEXT YEARS CONTEST.
With reference to next years con-
test the Senator said:
NO doubt the convention will re-
affirm the Chicago platform. It will de-
clare against Imperialism and in favor
or regulating trusts. think, too, that
IL viii condemn the efforts, which have
become too common to control elections
oy the use OF money. In my opinion
the passage Of the bill establishing the
gold standard will aid us greatly"
The Senator said he never saw such
a diversity of opinion as to where the
nominee for Vice-President should
come from.
REPUBLICAN, CURRENCY BILL.
Regarding the currency bill. Senator
Jones said:
Il think the adoption of a gold
standard bill by the present Congress
would have an enormous effect In
shaping the money issue. It-is a
declaration on the part of the Repub-
llcan party for which 1t will have to
answer. A gold bill, If adopted by the
Senate-and there is no doubt in my
mind that the present bill substanti-
ally will be accepted by the Senate
will force the Republicans to explain
what Is on Its face stroke of treason
against the pronouncement of the ST.
Louis platform"
The Senator figures that the cur
rency bill could command fifty and
possibly ffty-two votes in the Senate.
