Chairman Allen. and they will hold an
important meeting tonight, at which
time candidate for supreme judge

rect primary law. which prohibits a
fusion at the primaries. Democrats
today asserted they want the railroad
regulation law thoroughly tried be-
fore any action is taken looking to-
ward government ownership of rail-
roads. They assert they stand with
Bryan on this plank. On the tariff
question recommendations will be
made to the national convention to
adopt vigorous plank for pro-
nounced reduction.
The committee will also make rec
ommendation for a national plank, de-
manding criminal prosecution of trust
magnates who break laws. Bryan is

MRS. PALMER is "soRE.'
May Sue Over Reports Of Her Al.
leoued Enhancement.

London, July 16.-Mrs. Potter Palmer
IS SO thoroughly annoyed at the con-
slant reports that she is going to
marry some one that she is determined
to take drastic steps to prevent English
papers, at least, from reprinting such
stories originating in America.
Thru her solicitore she has served
notice on the English newspapers that
should they print any unauthorized re-
port concerning her she will commence
suit against them at once. She is
fully determined on this course, as the
report she was to marry the earl of
Munster occasioned both herself and
ehe earl keen annoyance. They never
had met each other, and both were
furious at the report.
An intimate friend OF Mrs. Palmer
says that beyond doubt she will re-
main widow for the remainder of her
4 life. She is delighted with her free
dom and so glorious in the name Of
Potter Palmer that she would not
change it for any title.
