the dollar dinner to Bryan in New-York City
last spring.
Frank Campbell will represent the Democratic
State organization on the National Committee.
and will probably have no trouble in staving of
the rushes Of his Chicago platform or nothing

crusade. There Is much talk Of possible changes
in the rules for National conventions. which

Bryan managers would be glad TO change the
rule requiring the nominee for President to
ceve two-thirds vote In the convention. There
Is also a slight pressure noticeable in favor Of
abolishing the unit rule But the committee
not make rules which will bind the convention
a year ahead. The most IL can do Is to recon-
mend certain changes and these changes can be
adopted OF not by the convention; the two
thirds rule can, OF course. be abolished by a
majority vote
The appeals OF two cities anxious to entertain

sented to the National Committee on Thursday.
Kansas City and Baltimore are the two claimants.
The Kansas City boomers are said TO be ready

TO that flourishng Southwestern centre. But a
decision is likely 10 put over until the commit

State Controller in Maryland. will hold his
proxy. Few National Committee men have as
yet reached this city.

watch the proceedings and report at home just
what the Bryan men are doing. The Bryan men

Campbell is not implicitly trusted by the Tammany
men, however. he is reputed to be too close to
ex-senator HILL Therefore Tammany has sent one
or two OF its shrewdest men ouc there TO look out
for Tammany's interests. The Tammany men have
instructions not TO appear in the discussions at ALL

clares itself 70 be the regular Democratic organ-

regularity with the Tammany organization when
the test comes for the seating OF delegates Ihese
men base their plea Of regularity upon the ground
that they have adhered 70 Bryan and the Chicago
