EFFORT TO RESTORE HARMONY
IN NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

New York, Aug. 27.-As n first step
to restore harmony in the ranks OF
the democratic party in New York
Chairman Norman Il Mack of the
democratic national committee tonight
conferred with Charles F. Murphy
leader of Tammany hall. Senator Pat
rick II. McCarren, of Brooklyn. whose
leadership In that borough Is threaten
ed by his break with the Tammany
leader was at the Hoffman house late
today, but did not visit national head
quarters. Mr.. Mack, however, inti-
mated that he expected to see Mr.
McCarren within a few days.
The conference between Mr.. Mack
and Mr. Murphy took place at din
ner. The meeting was arranged soon
after the arrival of the democratic ma
tional chairman today from the west
where he has been for several weeks.
Speaking of the situation in this state
Mr.. Mack said he should not attempt
to dictate to any of the state leaders
concerning their attitude toward each
other nor would he try to influence
the selection of the democratic candi-
date for the governorship The opin'
ion was expressed by Mr., Mack that
he believed ii to be his function how
ever, to do everything he could to pro-
mote interests of the national ticket
i'm New York in every state, He said.
81 have no engagement to see Mr..
McCarren but | am here to see any
democrats who care to call on me. |
will see all shades of democrats. !
believe the democrats of New York
state will be able to work together
for the best interests of the welfare
of the national party"
Concerning the situation in the
country generally from a democratic
point of view Mr. Mack said that he
had found everything rosy so far.
Mr. Mack said he was ready to con-
cede that Pennsylvania would go re-
publican but that he believed Indiana
to be as certainly democratic as Penn
sylvania is republican. He would not
say as to Maine.
The itinerary of Mr.. Bryan so fa/
as It has been arranged probably VIII
be made public tomorrow Mr.. Mack
said tonight that he thought he would
have it ready by that time and that
several points will be included that
have not hitherto been announced.
National Committeeman Salisbury,
of North Carolina. arrived in the city
today to confer with Mr. Mack. Most
of the day at the headquarters was
employed in getting settled In the
rooms just opened there. The chair
man expects TO be here about a week
and then return to Chicago for short
time.

will be easy to secure the adoption
of a system which will make both state
and national banks secure.
"And speaking of platforms, l am
glad to call attention to the fact that
the republican platform adopted in
Kansas. endorses the democratic ma
tional platform on :. two Important
questions. First it favors the election
of senators by direct vote Of the peo-
Pile. a reform which the republican
national convention rejected by vote
of I to l and which Mr.. Taft has
never advocated but once and that
only in a half hearted way In his
notification speech he said that pos
sibly he was inclined to favor such
law, but it requires more than a
mere inclination toward the law to Sc
cure such reform.
another plank endorsing the demo-
cratic platform is to be found in the
condemnation of the present rules ol
the house and in the demand for a
modification of the rules. This is the
position taken by the democratic ma
tional convention and it Is gratifying
to know that the republicans of Kan
sas have supported us in the position
taken. But what shall we say of the
condemnation of the vice presidential
candidate Sherman? While Mr. Sher-
mans name is not mentioned, he is SO
prominently connected with the pres
ent rules of the house that the re-
publican platform on this subject car
not be construed otherwise than as .
denunclation of him.
"Here we have the republicans OF
congress heartily endorsing the noml'
nation of Taft and Sherman--ever
commencing the speech of acceptance
of Mr.. Taft-while the convention
proceeds to condemn Mr.. Tafts posi-
ton on the guaranty of banks ant
Mr.. Sherman's position on the subiec
of rules. There is no doubt that ther,
Is strong reform sentiment among
the republicans of Kansas and the besI
| way that they can give expression tC
1t is to vote for the democratic cleo
| tors and thus secure a national adj
ministration in harmony with reform
| ideas, and then elect democratic
state ticket which stands for reform
a democratic legislature which vii
not only stand for the guaranty law
but elect Mr.. Farrelly to vote for re
forms in the United states senate aac
then the republicans of Knn
| to complete their work by electinl
| democratic members of congress tt
/ help reform the rules of the hous'
and help to carry out the reform
pledges in the democratic platform.
Mr. Bryan intended leaving for Lin
coin at midnight but at the last mo
ment changed his plans and will star
in the morning instead, arriving hom'
at o'clock in the afternoon.
