IS THE ALL-PReD0MINANT ISSUE

Kansas City, June 29.-Senator Jones of Arkansas. chairman of the Democratic National Committee. arrived tonight. and in a brief interview says he did not think a specific 16 to l silver declaration was necessary if the Chicago platform was adopted. He was asked the direct question if a snecidc declaration would be made if the Chicago platform adopted, and re- piled with a question:
 Would not the reatIirmaton of the Chi cago platform be a declaration in faFor of 16 to 1? I think it would be-" He then added with deliberation:

 Kansas City, June 2o.-The runninl; mate problem is conspicuous as 1t Was at Philadelphia, and at this distance the guessing is fully a. indiscriminatins.

 There is an impression that good politics of the situation would mean the selection of from New York, and if Il satis- factory candidate cannot be found there the next best thing to do would be to go to Indiana. Western Democrats would be glad to have an eastern man named WHO would add strength to the ticket in that section.
 If MT. Sulzer Is not nominated for Vice President it will not be on account ol any lack of booming the part Of his friends who are here.
