Is No Mans Organ.

Senator Bourne, president Of the
league, made the following statement in
regard to its organization and purposes:
1.-The declaration Of principles OF the
National Progressive Republican League
speaks for itself. While its membership
is confined to those who believe that the
republican party represented by progress
sive republicans offers the most en-
couragement for the establishment OF
these principles, there is no purpose to
make it a political organization in the
sense of promoting the political fortunes
of any man or men. The enactment of
LEGISLATION carrying out the program is
its sole aim and purpose, and 1t stands
ready, whenever acceptable, to aid and
assist democratic as well as republican
legislatures to secure such legislation.
ssThe league will at once enter upon
an aggressive campaign. State leagues
viii be organized and upon request fur-
nished with bills, literature and speak
orc Permanent headquarters Will De
maintained for carrying on the work.

PARTY MACHINERY AND
THE PARTY'S PLATFORM

Kentucky Democrats may be in
terested in the following extract
from Gov. Marshall's message to the
Indiana Legislature; J,
There are two views with refer
ence to party machinery; one is that
its purpose is to formulate a plat
form, nominate a ticket, and then
to drive the rank and file up to the
polls to vote that ticket regardless
Of the platform and the character OF
the candidates; the other view, and
it is mine, is that party machinery
is solely for the purpose of carry
ing on a campaign; that it has moth
ing whatever to do with nomina-
tions, and that it should not have
any greater weight in the formation
of a platform than the humblest
member of the party"

THE DEMOCRATS MAKE
PLANS FOR A CACUS
CIark's Nomination to be Made
Unanimous Committee
Question Follows.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Plans have
about been perfected for the Demo-
cratic caucus of members-elect Of
the next House Of Representatives.
First, Representative Champ
Clark, Of Missouri, will be nominal
ed for Speaker.
Second, the CAUCUS will decide
upon the method of selecting the
committees of the next House Of
Representatives.
Third, the tentative Ways and
Heans committee will be elected.
Fourth, a tentative Rules commit
tee may be elected, though this mat
ter is now in allegiance.
Mr.. Clark will probably be placed
in nomination by Representative
Lloyd, of Missouri, the chairman OF
the Democratic congressional COM
mittee. His election will be made
unanimous.
It is expected that the next mat
ter to come before the caucus will
be a solution of the committees
problem. Representative Fitzger'
aid, of New York, and others who
are in favor of the Speakers ap'
pointing the committees, will urge
the adoption of a resolution to that
effect. The Fitzgerald resolution
will be voted down, and as matters
now stand, a resolution empowering
the Waws and Means committee tC
select all of the committees of the
House will be adopted.
