ing the amount for any single gift to
$4,000: providing for the publica-
tion of list of all campaign expendi-
lures thirty days after the election
and calling upon democrats all over
the country to form themselves into
democratic clubs to aid the committee
in its work. were adopted.
The committee adjourned to meet
in Chicago July 25 when national
chairman will be selected. Joseph
Daniels was made secretary of the
subcommittee.
Mr. Kern departed this afternoon
for Chicago. He Is due at Indian
apolis tomorrow evening.
Following is the subcommittee
which has full power TO act in choos-
ing the permanent officers of the ma
tlonal committee, and then appoint
such of the committees as may be
necessary for the management of the
campalgn
Taggart, Indiana (chalrman): Hall.
Nebraska; Mack, New York: Osborne,
| Wyoming: Greene, Rhode Island;
Ryan. Wisconsin,; Daniels. North Car
'olina: Wade, fewa: Tomiinson. Ala
bama; Cole. Oklahoma.
The presence Of the subcommittee
of Mr. Ryan is an assurance that he
is no longer considered a candidate.
Inquiry among members of the SUBJ
committee called TO elicit learnings To-
ward any candidate, but the fact that
the appointment has been left In their
hands Is not believed to diminish the
chances of Mr. Atwood d. ]. Cam
pau of Michigan Is no longer considers
ed. Tom L. Johnson won't have 1t.
Urey Woodsen would prefer to be not
considered and Ollie James believes
4 his greatest usefulness is on the
stump. This situation for the present
at least leaves the subcommittee with
but one candidate 70 consider namely
/ Mr. Atwood. The only whisper heard
! Iagainst Mr. Atwood today was the
, fact that his emlnence IN the legal pro-
| fession may have brought into close
connection with corporations than
would be consistent In campaign
against corporate greed and preda-
tory wealth. There Is ample time
before the Chicago meeting for the
matter to be investigated by the sub
committee, II II should deem such ac-
tion necessary.
Lincoln Is extremely happy tonight
because of the formal notification Of
her foremost citizen has been chosen
las the democratic standard bearer will
take place in his home town. Some
members believe thede would be great
political advantage In having the notl-
ficatlon take place In New York. while
Woodson was among those who fav-
Iored Chicago. Chicago. he said was
the central point and the fact that
railroad fares to be paid was a fac
tor. But there was no opposition to
Mr.. Bryan's wish to have the scene
laid In his home city. The date was
set for August i2. AS this Is good
Ftwo weeks after the date appointed for
a similar function at Cincinnati for
Nh Taft, Mr. Bryan will have ample
opportunity to prepare an answer to
