German of Maryland is quietly
but effectually taking control OF
the democratic machinery and
shaping the policies of the party.
He has pursuaded the house dem
ocrats to unite in a howl against
the Crumpacker resolution for an
investigation of election laws and
constitutional restrictions of suf-
frage, and he is planning to take
control of the democratic con-
gressional committee. The DEM
ocratic senators and representa-
tives selected as mem bers of this
committee will meet next week
to elect chairman They have
not been agreed on that impor-
tant officer, but German has sug-
gested a plan for campaign
committee and that is under con-
sideration. Ben Cable of Illinois,
has been suggested for chairman
of this campaign committee, and
Lewis Nixon, chief of Tammany,
treasurer
The declared purpose of this
new form of organization is that
the democrats, having a good
fighting chance to secure control
of the next house. will organize
as for a national campaign and
make general fight in every
state where there is a chance to
defeat republican members of
congress. Ben Cable was in
charge of the western branch of
the democratic national commit
tee in 1892, when Illinois, Wis
consin, Indiana, and Michigan
were carried by the democrats
and Cleveland was elected over
Harrison. Cable received the
credit for that successful cam
paign in the west. He has been
invited to become chairman of the
democratic campaign committee
to secure control of the next
house of representatives.
Mr.. Nixon, the new Tammany
boss. is to be his right hand and
to supply the revenues for the
campaign. They are close friends
of Mr.. German, and they will be
in sympathy with his political
doctrines.
German will dictate the plat
form on which democratic candi-
dates will make their campaign
for election to congress. Cor
man has fixed ideas as to success
ful campaign issues. There will
be none of the issues which came
in with Bryan and were laid on
the shelf.
There will be a Philippine
plank similar to the democratic
substitute for the Philippine tar
iff bill, declaring that the Phil
ippines are domestic territory
and should have free trade with
the United States so long as they
remain under our control, but the
Fibpinos shall be promised inde-
pendence when they are capable
of organizing and maintaining a
stable government The war IN
the Philippines will be condemn
ed. There will be a reopening
of the tariff discussion, with the
demand for tariff for revenue.
instead of protective tariff, and
the trusts will be drawn in only
as side issue to the tariff.
The purpose IN this organiza-
tion of a campaign committee is
to retire Organism and bring to
the front the old line democratic
leaders and their plan of CAM
paign. 1t will all be in the inter
est of Mr.. German as the one
democratic leader who has been
faithful to the old issues and the
organization. Cable is loyal to
German, and Tammany is oppos-
ed to Hill as well as Bryan. II
the campaign is successful and
the democrats secure control Oh
the next house German will have
the credit for the victory and the
control of the democratic ma
chinery TO put in motion for 1904.
