oerned. IL revealed to him that he new

Little by little the substance of the
conversations Colonel Bryan had with
his friends in this city has been COM
municated by these friends to others
No doubt Charles +. Murphy, the
leader OF Tammany. has been told thar
Colonel Bryan stated 70 his friends
at the recent conference that II was
matter of small moment to him who
the candidates for the presidential
nomination may be. or, i'm fact upon
whom the convention will at last fix
its choice.
To Dominate Platform.
Colonel Bryan is quoted by these
friends as having said first, that he
will not concern himself any more
than any other Democrat may do so
far as the nomination is concerned
He did say TO his friends. however, as
reported, that he intended, II pos
site. 20 dominate the construction of
the platform. He asserted that with
platform written as he intends TO
have the Democratic platform written,
the personality of the candidate will
be very naturally disclosed.
In substantially the following words
Colonel Bryan is reported by friends
who heard him to have said what his
purposes respecting the platform are:
II went to st. Louis in 1904 caring
little about who the nominee was.
provided l could write a platform up
on which the candidate would stand
did prepare a platform of that kind, |
ms I supposed. thought 1t was cast |
from so far as any change was con-
rerned. But / was mistaken. Judge
Parker forced an amendment to that |
platform by telegraphic communica-
ion he sent from his home at Esopus.
and I was powerless to prevent the
which made our platform
an absurdity.
"I don't intend to have anything of |
that kind happen at the convention of
1912. If j am successful. .as / intend !
10 be. then at our national convention
If next year we shall embody in the
platform all that was written in the
Denver platform. including the initia-
i've. referendum. the guarantee OF de-
ooslts in banks and the other distinct
We policies of the Democratic party
md in addition there viii be much
more written into the platform based
lpon matters of which we have learn
d the Importance since 1908"
Colonel Bryan is also quoted as hav-
ng Said "That platform will be so
written and so composed that 1t will
lot be possible for a candidate or any
'o6y else to tear it to pieces, as Judge
barker did in 1904"

1t will be observed that under this plan
of the Aroostook senator but single
county in the State increases its repre-
sentation and that is Aroostook. This is
no doubt due to the fact that Aroostook
has grown IN population tremendously in
the past ten years. Hancock, Kennebec,
Knox, Sagadahoc, Waldo, Washington
and York all lose from one to two repre-
sentatives.
There is no assurance that this plan will
