The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-15

have suggested the 18th of October as the date upon which all contributions to that time must be published and that we can not be accused of desiring to conceal anything. we suggest that where contri- buttons are made after October 10 that they be made known on the date they are made, and that they may not accuse us of attempting to receive cottriou- tions on the last day, too late for pupil cation, we suggest that no contribution above s1o0 shall be received within three days of the election We have tried to cover every point We want to make an honest campaign; we want the public to understand that 1t is an honest cam paign, and we want to appeal to the honest sentiment of the country-that sentiment that I believe demands the re- turn of the government to the hands Of the people"
 Suggestion Adopted.
 MT. Bryan's suggestion was promptly adopted amidst applause, as was another one providing for the publication or complete list of campaign expenditures within 30 days after the election.
 The resolution providing for the ap- pointment of the subcommittee was of- fered by Hall of Nebraska, and was as follows:
  which the chairman of this committee shall be member, be appointed by the cahir to confer with the candidates Tor President and Vice President and to se- lect the permanent officers of this com mittee, and that the chairman so selected be authorized to appoint such committees as may be necessary for the management of the campaign; such committees shall have full power to act"
 n fha fnll committee fol- lowed and all took luncheon as the guests of MT. and Mrs. Bryan. MT. Bryan re- marked, facetiously, that he had seats for 46, adding to shouts of laughter that he believed the White House tables were larger.
 After the luncheon the subcommittee met long enough to determine on the time and place of their next meeting and ad- journed.
 Nearly all took trains for their homes.
 William E. Gonzales, editor of the State of Columbia, s. C., and one of MT. Bryan's lieutenants, after a visit to MT. Bryan and MT. Kern today said:
 "The statement that MT. Bryan will not make canvass is incorrect It is his present purpose. however, to deliver no platform speeches, dealing with the mora vital issues as presented in the platform. MT. Kern will make more continuous campaign, and I was assured in Denver that MT. Towne will be no less active than If he had been the Vice Presidential nominee.
 MT. Gonzales said that campaign con tributions would be invited by newspa- pers in his state, and he believed every democratic paper in the south would do likewise.
