cenVenllon In y signed Interview makes
lhovmg explanation Of how there
came 20 be no Income tax plank In the
democratic platform. He says;
THE platform as adopted by the cons
mlttee on resolutions OF the Kansas
City convention contained deelara.
tion In favor OF the adoption OF the con-
stitutimial amendments authorizing an
income tax and providing for the eleo-
ton OF United States renators by the
people. No objection was made to this
resolution, and am convinced that the
omission OF reference TO the income
tax was the result OF an oversight due
to the haste with which the sub.eom.
mittee was Obliged to act to put the
platform. as unanimously adopted. IN
shape 60 be submitted TO the conyen-
ton. The idea that the declaration
for the income tax was purposely omit
ted by the h-eommittee out OF de-
ference for Senator HIN or any other
person, is preposterous.
when Senator Trman had nearly
finished the platform some OF the Indl.
ana delegates said 20 me that nothing
had been read about the income tax.
l said to them that the platform as
agreed upon by the subcommittee con-
tained a declaration for the income
tax. and that IL Il had been omitted
IL was due TO oversight either by Sem
ator Tillman In reading or by the copy
list who had Transcribed the document.
II went TO the Illinois delegation and
asked Mayor Harrison OF Chicago, who
was the Illinois member Of the commit
tee. II he had noted the omissions, He
said he had not. l was about to 20 on
the platform to call attention 20 the
matter. when Mayor Harrison called TO
me and said that Mr.. Abbott told him
that the income tax declaration had
been read by Senator Tillman. Unless
Mr. Abbott's ears deceived him Il was
read aud the omission occurred by
accident In the copies furnished TO the
press. | have no doubt that Mr.. Bryan

Mr.. woolensak is 90 years old and is
estimated to be worth half a million
dollars. January 10. letter dated San
Francisco was received from him by
an insurance firm. Since then many
efforts to find him have proved unavall-
ing.
Mr.. Woolensak up to last fall was
manufacturer OF hardware specialties,
and he had been in the business for
many years. He was an inventor. and
a number Of specialties which he pat
ented brought him large returns.
