forth OF the organization of a new branch
of campaign work of tremendous potential

50O,0C0 workers. organized by election pre-
cincts in all the cloes States and Congress
sional districts of the country. Each of
extent of s. to the campaign fund and is
the accredited. representative OF the Ma
tional Committee in his election precinct
If every one of them comes up promptly
with his 81 the National Committee soon
ought TO have in its treasury the COM
Portable sum of s1.G00.O O00 The foJce is
described as wholly independent al
thougs auxiliary TO the local. city, county
and State organizations. Through it, Sec
retary Walsh says. the National Committee
can communicate by letter and get actual
local conditions in any rart Of the country
or IN the whole county in a very few
days. As a means of communication with
this organization the National Committee
has established a new publication called

was the first organized force Of the party
to unfurl to the world a banner containing
the names OF Bryan and Hill This was
done before the New Yorker gracefully had
yielded to the overmastering Sc entiment Of
the party for the renomi=ation of Mr..
Bryan by acelamation. Since Hill has
shown in an unm!stakable way that he
still is entitled to ea-Ess. consideration as
a Democrat. his name has been linked with
that OF the Nebraskan in various parts OF
the country. Senator Clay, OF Georgia,
virtually endorsed this ticket before he
left Washington to look into conditions
in his State. And now comes the Hon
Norman E. Mack. who through storm and
sunshine has upheld the banner OF Bryan
in western New York. and at a conference
IN Inc metropolis yesterday advocated rl1e
nomination OF MIR. Hill for Vice President
Special importance attaches TO this an
nouncement in view OF the fact that o.
II. =. Belmont was a participant in the
conference. How Mr.. Hill views the
proposition is not yet known. though
il is not doubted by those who know
him best that IL he should be
drafted at Kansas City he would buckle
on the armor, and 90 forth to fight by the
side Of Bryan Il is known that Hill de-
sires TO be made a member Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions at the National
Convention, and in this committee he will
make his fight for a modification OF the
Chicago platform. Losing there, il is ex-
pected that he would rot carry the fight
TO the floor of the Convention In New
York yesterday IL was claimed that the
Tammany, Kings, Rensselaer,. and Erie
delegates. constituting a majority OF the
State delegation. are 10 put forward Rich
ard Croker for the Committee on ResOlu-
tions. Croker is supposed 10 be willing TO
accept the Chicago platform without
murmur. At least. in the latest pUrpOTted
interview with him, Croker is represented
as endorsing Mr.. Bryan's firm adherence 10
every plank Of the last platform.
