Grooming Mr.. Bryan.

CHICAGO. December 27.-Charles A.
Walsh, of Iowa. SECRETARY of the Demo-
cratic national committee, arrived here
to-day to assist in arranging for the
meeting of the national executive COM
mittee in January. Regarding a re-
port circulated 20 the effect that the
present organization of the Democratic
party is planning to make ". j. Bryan
the presidential candidate in 1909, he
said
There is no foundation for such a
story. AS the last address sent out by
the committee says, it is not designed
to advance the interests of any man or
faction. That is what the Drganiza-
ton declares and that is all / ARE to
say about the matter"

A Big Mileage Bill.

: WASHINGTON, December 27.-The

route by which Delegate Wilcox could
come to Washington totals 5000 miles,
and members are allowed 20 cents per
mile. Two hundred dollars would pay
all expenses between Honolulu and the
capital, and with mileage at the rae
already paid the delegate will be m
aoied to save at least $1,000 on the
round trip.

The Committee of One Hundred held
a very interesting meeting at the Board
of Trade rooms last night. There was
a good attendance. While the CON-
mittee gave out only certain informa-
ton, il Is understood that there was
a sharp division of sentiment relative
to the advisability of pursuing the
course heretofore followed by the COM
mittee. Those who advocated a devia-
ton from the old methods were in the
minority. Members would not say
whether any endorsements upon the
head of the ticket were made. but 1t IS
understood that this action was taken,
but that the committee deemed it ad~
visa5le to keep it secret.
While there was no motion to thai
effect, the committee appeared to be
~actuated in its choice of candidates
for Council, by a desire to deal fairly
with both parties. A majority of the
candidates endorsed are Democrats.
In the Fourth ward the COMMITTEES en-
dorsed but two candidates. and it was
stated after the meeting that they
were unable to select a third. In the
Seventh all the candidates on both
tickets were endorsed. In the Eighth,
only the Democratic ticket was en-
dorsed.

of the meeting is to adopt a set of

present offlceholders in the State be re-
tanned in their positions by Governor

of the resolutions, which were pre-
pared by an employee of the peniten-
tiary, is to endorse the administration
