His Selection Would Help Democratic
Party In the East.
CHICAGO, Nov. 90 Representative
William Sulzer of New York, who is il
Chicago in connection with the meet
ing of the executive committee of the
national Democratic committee, today
said in part: "Yes, am a candidate
for the Democratic leadership of the
next house of representatives, and my
friends think my chances of securing
the honor are very good. / would moi
be candidate if tney did not believe
my selection would strengthen oul
party in the east and help us to carry
the doubtful states of New York ano
New Jersey in the next presidential
election,
II will have the votes of the solid
delegations of New York and New
Jersey and have received assurances OF
substantial aid from other states.

apologies to make for my support OF

SPEAKING of the work likely to
be done by the Democratic National
convention next year, Chairman j.
K. Jones, of the Democratic Ma
tional committee, says:
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
will be the Democratic nominee.
The Democratic convention, in my
opinion, will reaffim the Chicago
platform. I believe the Democrats
will declare against imperialism,
and in favor of legislation regulating
trusts and similar combinations. 1t
is too soon yet to say just what will
be the dominant issue. Conventions
and platforms do not make issues.
In some parts of the country the
financial question will be most inter
esting to the voters, in another i'm
perialism, in another trusts, and SO it
will CO."
There will be no dearth of issues in
next years campaign. The Demo-
cratic party will be found fighting
upon the peoples side of every ques-
tion that is raised.
