the sixteen men who constitute the
subcommittee, what Mr.. Bryan had
written in the form of planks and
what he had telegraphed the COVER
nor as suggestions for planks the
particular phraseology of which the
committee should frame for itself.

construction of the Panama canal,
Improvement of interior water ways,

Philippines, and a pledge not to use
the navy for the collection of private
debts. The public land plank is to
declare for the rights of the people
of the states as well as for the gen.
eral policy and rights OF the nation.
After Governor Haskell had read
to the subcommittee all the sugges-
tions and messages from Bryan, Judge
Parker took the floor, and read in de-
tail the platform which had been
drawn by the members of the New

sion by the members of the committee
and no action was taken on any OF
the planks.

presented a plank entitled, "Degener-
acy of the House of Representatives, %
