After the announcement of the commit
tees the convention adjourned until to-
morrow at 9 o'clock. in order 10 give the
committees time to report.
Late I'm the day other delegates arrived,
and wnen the convention is called to order
tomorrow morning thirty States will be
represented. 1t developed tonight, how
ever, that the national organizations of
Direct Legislation or Referendum League
and the Public Ownership or Union Labor
Reform League of St. Louis-will be repre-
scented in the convention tomorrow by
delegates who have Dlenary powers. Four
~StateS-Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri and Kan
sas-have allied delegations, but they have
authority TO speak only for their own
States, and the convention tomorrow. il
is stated. will be dominated by the Peoples
party, and the name of that organization
will probably be adopted. The platform
which will be recommended by the platform
committee will be practically the same as
that adopted i'm Kansas City last year when
the call for the allied party convention was
made. The committee ON permanent or
ganiZatiOn met tonight and decided to
that the temporary organization
effected to-day be made permanent, and
this plan Will probably prevail.
