 Definite Plans Formed

Baltimore, November 26.-The move ment to bring to Baltimore the repre- sentative democrats of the country in and out of Congress in gathering that will present an opportunity to rejoice over the recent democratic victory and to interchange views as to the future was placed on definite foundation to- day when the committee in charge headed by Governor Brothers, after a long conference with Norman F.. Mack chairman of the national democratic committee and Champ Clark of Mis- souri, adopted the form of an invita- ton which will be sent to the leading democrats in all the states.
 Acting upon the advice of MT. Mack and Mr Clark, the idea of a confer ence, as originally considered, was dropped, and it was determined to make the occasion a national Jackson 1 day ce1ehra tion of democratic achieve ments. The plans indorsed by Chair man Mack and Mir Clark contemplate a big mass meeting in the afternoon at which speeches will be made by leading democrats Of the country. to be followed by an elaborate banquet Ii was thoroughly understood at the meeting that the Baltimore celebra : tion will not be in the nature of a conference, the result of which will bind or commit either the democra tic
  therein.
 It was further understood that there are to be no resolutions adopted, no per son boomed for the presidency or for other offices, and no resolutions passed indicating or outlining platform. Like wise 1t was made plain no section of the country and no element of the party is to be overlooked or left unrepresented. but that the gathering will be open, free and devoted solely to the promotion of party unity and harmony.
 Invitations to Go out
 It is proposed to send invitations to every democratic member of the present Congress and of the next Congress on both the House and Senate side; to in- vite every conspicuous leader of tho party in the country regardless of their differences in the past, and to extend a welcome generally to democrats who desire to keep alive and vibrant tho present triumphant spirit of the national democracy
 Both Chairman Mack and MT. Clark pledged themselves to attend the after noon gathering which will be in the na- .ture of a national democratic mass meet ing, and also to be among the guests at the banquet at night, it being understood that Mir Clark will be among the orators of the evening.

 Governor Brothers said they had been asked over here to consult with the com mittee which desired their cooperation The movement 1t was believed will be of benefit to the democratic party through out the country in that it would stim- uate and inspire democrats everywhere to stand shoulder to shoulder for the great fight coming two years hence, when the opportunity will be presented to elect . democratic President.
 Party Harmony Aimed At He assured MT. Mack and MT. Clark that there was in the minds of the Mary flanders no motive save that of party har- mony, that Maryland had no candidate for President or vice president, and has no desire to foment factional strife and discord by pushing forward anyone at this time nor even indicating a prefer encel
 All we want,'' he said, "is to have here in our city a gathering of the dem1 ocrats of the country, representative of all clements, of kind that will bring them closer together and help unify us for the future." Fl oeHdlol OAiith dCcidl GU tildl lllc pTOpO- sition was one which every democrat should support. No harm can come of such a meeting as we propose" he said. ''and it may easily be productive of the greatest good. The democratic party has 1ust achieved great victory This vic tory is but preliminary to bigger fight two years hence. Our party is big enough and broad enough not to be afraid to get < together and talk things over. We should and can profit by keeping in close touch with one another, by knowing the senti- ment and feeling of the people, not tonly in our own section of the country, but in all others as we'll We want to help the party get together and stay together on democratic principles that will command the respect and support of the people of the country. We recognize the danger of . conference. We know that a. certain kind of a conference might be held that would do more harm than good am myself strongly opposed to one that Will even admit of such a possibility, but, cannot conceive how gathering Of dem ocrats to ratify and rejoice over na- tional victory can awaken any serious ap- prehersion in the minds of any demo- crat."
