Democratic national convention. it has
been decided by the conference OF
the leaders to decide on some line of
action during the coming campaign.
This statement is given by the AS.
ISOLATED Press on the authority of
George Washburn, of Boston, now
treasurer of the peoples party. who
with several members of the national
executive committee OF that party,
has been in st. Louis attending the
Democratic national convention. Mr..
Washburn when asked to divulge the
names of some of his associates in
the conference declined TO make them
known.
The extent of the movement and
the names of those engaged In 1t.
he said, would be a surprise. A mum.
Der of those present in the confer
ence, Mr.. Washburn said, were Mis-.
sourians, while others were from Mr..
Parker's own state.
Commenting on Judge Parker's
nomination Mr.. Washburn said: Next
to Cleveland, the populists most de-
sired the nomination of Parker. His
nomination emphasizes the parting OF
the ways of the allied forces and will
help immensely to restore the popu'
list party to its former strength and
effectiveness"

Cut Down Representation OF
States Limiting Suffrage.
MORE DRASTIC THAN PLATTs.
Gives Census Bureau Power OF
Determining Number Of Con-
gressmen in States Requir-
ing Qualifications

Washington. Dec s-Representative Mo--
I'll Of Pennsylvanta to-day introduced o
bill to reduce representation IN States
where citizens are disfranchised The bill
is moro general than that introduced by
Senator Pfatt yesterday, and its provisions
apply to any state limiting suffrage.
The bill. II enacted into law. would re
duce the representation in Congress Of any
State, which, after March 4. 1907 denies
the right Of suffrage to any OF its male In
habitants or IN any way abridges such
right except for participation IN rebellion
or other crimes" The reduction is to be
proporuonate to the denial of the r:Eh, of
suffrage.
The bill makes It the duty OF the Csc
retary Of Commerce and Labor TO sscer-
tain. through the Census Bureau. by
means Of biennial census the number
Of such citizens in each State to whom
the right to vote is so denied or abridged
and TO report the same to the Speaker Of
the House OF Representatives March 1
1907. and biennially thereafter.
Provision is made for the reading OF
the report in open session at the begin
ming OF each Congress.
II 1t should appear" the bill further
provides. that the number u Represents
tives that have been accredited by any
State exceeds the number to which It
shall be entitled according to the rule OF
apportionment herein provided none Of
the persons 50 accredited as Representa-
tiyes shall be entitled to seats in the
House OF Representatives. but vacancy
In the entire representation Of such State
shall be declared by resolution OF the
House and the executive authority o. su b
State shall issue writs for the e:ection Of
a number of Representatives at large for
the same equal to the number to which it
may be Justly entitled, as declared by the
House OF Representatives"

Washington. Dec. s.-Congressrnen identi-
fed with financial as well as legislative af-
fairs are fastening to declare that they
are unalterably opposed TO any such lesis-
ladon as that advocated by President
RcoseTelt's message on the subject OF rail-
road rates
They go so far as 10 say that there Will
be nothing done by Congress toward ex-
tending the powers OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and that even the
question Of stringent laws on rebates will
not be touched. The purpose In the talk
circulated seems 10 be 10 quiet apprehsn-
sion. 10 remove fears of Government In
reference and strengthen the tumbliug
stocks Of Wall street
Various are the expressions as 20 the
connection between the decline in prices in
New York and the forcible language OF the
message to Congress.
1t is the report In Washington that the
Wall street magnates attribute the falling
OF in values directly to the clause which
would vest tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission with power TO regulate railroad
rates. Republican Congressman deny that
the message is the fundamental cause OF
A4S ldlIAHS
One well-knoTn member OF the House Is
quoted In this wise:
Il suppose that Wall street viii be
damning Roosevelt again and charging
him with spilling the Eat in the fire. But
1t won't do. There Is no occasion for
alarm at anything in the message Wall
street has been told that, and keeps on N
its panic OF fear"
AS said-whether or not the President
did influence the market-the leaders in
congress are open 10 say that there Is no
chance for the enaction Of the Presidents s
recommendations The latter are regarded
as inspired partially by Governors Van
SAINT OF Minnesota, La Toilette OF Wiscon-
sin and CumHlins OF Iowa
In their States and throughout the grain
producing area the rate question IS para
mount In politics. It has all the dirnen-
stons Of q future issue between the parties
ana seems TO have quite the consequences
of the tariff revision agitation The Presd-
dent accepted this view OF the rate mat
ter and he certainly did hurl IL into Con-
gresS against the advice OF some OF the
older members Of that body.
Now the point of interest seems to be
whether there will be an issue raised by
the President and the Congress and a
fight made along its lines Should this
come about IL will divide the Republican
party as certainly as would tariff revision,
II a tariff bill seriously attempted to revise
any important schedules.
At any rate, this, with several other
matters OF consequence, is up to the
President" II he follows up the course
outlined there will be big history made IN
Congress in the not far distant future.

REFUSES GOVERNMENT AID
FOR JAMESTOWN FAIR.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

NSC CBlAlC SPEClaI-
Washington, Dec. s-The House Com
mittee on Industrial Arts and Expositens
at ct executive meeting to-day refused
Government aid for an Industrial fair at
jamestown. Va The basis OF the refusal
is a general principle applicable to expo
sitions for some years TO come II was
laid down In this form by James A. Taw-
ney. chairman of the committee. to-day:
The only value TO the Government Of
an industrial exposition lies in its educa-
tiona. phases. There is no use in throwing
money away and II is hardly possible that
anything OF further educational import
ance can be built at jamestown In 1907
after the tremendous Fair Just closed at
ST. Louis in 1901"
The refusal will obtain in the case OF all
expositions unauthorized by the national
Government. no matter how Else they may
be authorized The projected jamestown
display was authorized through the vir-
ginia Legislature. The refusal applies
only TO the Industrial phase OF the ques-
ton. Assistance may yet be rendered in
behalf OF a naval display or other centen-
NAL celebration
