made permanent chairman OF the
convention.
Urey Woodson, OF Kentucky. secre-
tary Of the national committee will
be temporary, and probably perman-
ent secretary OF the convention.
Bryan Won't interfere.
Mr.. Bryan Is not to interfere with
the work OF the committee on Gre
dentials because there are few con-
tests. In fact only one that will at
tract public attention-that OF Sena-
tor McCarren, OF Kings county, N. Y.
Then comes the platform, which
Mr.. Bryan Is writing after consulta.
ton with various friends and advisers.
A number of planks relating to min
or details will be left, SO far as word
ing Is concerned. to the committee on
resolutions.
Mr.. Bryan will, however. insist upon
the adoption OF planks and all essen
tiai matters that have been written
or approved by him. These will con-
sist first Of a strong and outspoken
antiinjunction plank-a plank just as
strong as Gompers. Mitchell ct al,
want II. and Gompers will be here to
see that II is strong enough to satisfy
the most violent labor agitator.
To Smother the Trusts.
Next. the trusts and all combina-
lions Of capital are to be smothered
Publicity, government inspection and
control are the mildest things that
will be suggested I'm the platform. But
there Is not to be one word even sug-
costing the federal, or state owner
ship OF railroads. The plank in fav-
or Of government supervision and reg
ulation IL, however. to be plain and
emphatic.
The La Toilette plank. favoring the
election OF United States senator's
and judges OF the federal courts by
direct vote Of the people Is being in
serted. There will also be q strong
plank in favor Of complete publicity
of campaign contributions and ex-
penses. In relation to the tariff Mr..
Bryan will insist upon a plank de-
manding immediate revision, with
possible free trade for trust manu-
featured goods. He will also insist
upon q plank demanding immediate
independence for the Philippine ISL
ands. What he will do with Hawaii
and Porto Rico he has not yet decid-
ed. and Is waiting further conferences
on that subject.
