Denver. Colo. July 8 After being In session most of last night the working sub-eo1nmittes of the Democratic con- venti5n Committee on Resolutions, re- sumed lta sittings at an early hour to- day. but at ?. m. took recess until Q o'clock tonight.
 rt vas reported that members of the committes had received intimation they win he needed in the convention hall. 1t had been the expectation of the sub comnlttse that 1t would be prepared to report to the full committee at o'clock this afternoon. but when that hour arr rived the work of the subcommittee was stsll SO incomplete that 1t was necessary for the full committee to take an adjournment until 10 o'clock tonight with the prospect that upon meeting ak that hour 1t would be neces- sary again to adjourn until tomorrow morning
 The snb-committee spent the first half of tho day in discussing sugges- tions oI Mr. Bryan and others relative to blanks in the platform. but shortly after noon decided that in order to make progress it would be necessary to divide the work and consequently sub committees of the sub committee were appointed on various subjects. ineiud- ing in5unctions, trusts railroads. re- sources Of the country. tariff. etc. 1'bree Members Each.
 These minor sub committees consist ed ih all caaes of thr members, and the Fenaaipder of ti1e day was spent largely by them in consultations over
 
 however, some questions upon which the full sub. committee found 1t possi- ble fo pass and these included the pAblicity of campaign contributions, relative to which strong plank was adopted.
 The committee also adopted various other suggestions among them being blanks demanding the enactment of an income tax law. providing for the re- strietion of Oriental immigration. de. nouncing what the committee termed President Roosevelt's ''perpetuation of his dynasty" etc.
 The injunction sub committee was the first to be appointed. and its mem. bers were husily occupied during the day. This sub-committee consisted of Messrs. williams of Massachusett, Par ker of New York and Sullivan of Iowa. Its deliberations were based upon a draft of the proposed plank made ny MT. Williams, which, while found to be generally acceptable was very closely scrutinized, not only by the con- servative members of the committees, including Judge Parker, but by the labor leaders as well. Mir. Williams was in consultation during the greater part of the day with the labor men, who appeared extremely anxious that not only the subetance, but the par ticular language of the resolution should be such as would satisfy the voters who are claimed to be behind them. Owing to the care which 1t was found necessary to give to this plank. 1t was still under consideration by the subcommittee when 6 recess was taken for dinner.
 The sub -committee on tarinf found less dificuity in reaching conclusion. This committee consisted of Messrs. Pettigrew, of South Dakota; Brown, of Nebraska and Alschuler. of Illinois, and it reported to the full sub-commit- tee by 5 o'clock. That committee rec commended the adoption of Q compre- hensive plank on the tariff. including among others, a provision for free print paper, free wood pulp, lumber, logs, etc. No definite announcement on the question of the Philippine tarifr relative to sugar was made by the sub- committee.
 Tariff Recommendation.
 Following fs the text of the sub committee's tariff recommendations:
 'sWe welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by the Re- publican party. as astardy recognition of the righteousness of the Democratic position on this question, but the peo- pie cannot safely entrust the execu- ton of this complex work to a party which Is so obligated to the highly protected interests that 1t postpones relief until after the election. And we call attention to the significant fact that the promises now made is wholly vitiated by the use of the qualifying words under which the present tariff
