Lesson Among Speakers.

Governor Woodrow Wilson spent
Monday in New York City at the Uni
yersity Club, resting from week of ac-
tivity and preparing for conferenc e
destined to have an important bearing
on his presidential campaign
With Vice Chairman McAdoo and
members of the campaign committee
the members will map out the sections
of the country where he will speak and
a schedule of addresses will be agreed
upon.
Present plans call for few speech es
from the candidate himself, but larger
number from William j. Bryan, Speak
er Champ Clark, Representative
Oscar Underwood, Govern ors Harmon,
of Ohio, and Foes, of Massachusetts,,
Senator-elect Ollie James, of Kentucky,
and scores of members of both houses of
Congress. Though the governors idea
at present is to make a number of
speeches in some of the more imp ortant
cities of the country, these speeches in
no sense to be swing around the
circle or stumping tour, it is admitted
that the exigencies of the cambaign
may necessitate changes in the pro-
gram adopted.
Mr.. Bryan has arranged his own
itinerary, to begin about Sept. 10. He
will speak for the most parts in the
middle West, beginning, ir is said, in
Nebraska and taking in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Utah,
Missouri, Illinois and Ohio. In these
states Mr.. Bryan will make big stump
ing tours, but he also will devote as
much time as possih,saa xstates east Of
the Mississippi River.
While Mr.. Bryan is concentrating in
the Northwest and middle West, Speak
er Clark will tour the South west.
After his three speeches in Maine next
week he, will proceed to Missouri,
Colorado, New Mexico, California and
Arizona.
The program was to have Speak er
Clark visit those States in which he
thought be could be of the most value.
He has chosen, therefore, localities
which supported him at the Baltimore
convention.
Representative Underwood will speak
for the most part in the East, and
probably will discuss chiefly the tariff
The Democratic House leader has in
formed Representative Burleson, of
Texas, chairman of the speakers bureau
that he wishes to rest until the end of
September, but will then begin active
campaign work. He will make number
of speeches in New York State, New
Jersey Delaware, Connecticut and
Massachusetts,.
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, will speak
in the middle West and Governor Foss,
OF Massachusetts,, who is campaigning
in Vermont now for the national ticket,
will fill number of engagement is out
side of New England as well, according
to present plans.
Governor Wilson said tonight that t
it was confidently expected Chairman
McCombs, who is i'll, would resum e
active work at headquarters within a
couple of weeks. Rumors that there
had been friction between other members
of the committee and Chairman Nc
Combs and that the chairman might
not return to lead the campaign were
emphatically denied by Gov. Wilson.
81 never knew any body of men to
work in more thorough harmony than
the members of this campaign COM
mittee," said Governor Wilson, sand
their relations with Mr.. McCombs have
been those of intimate confidence and
enthusiastic cooperation. They ad-
mire and trust him as do, and deem
his assistance and guidance invaluable
and such as no other man could give at
this iuncture. His absence is an en-
barrassment and a distress to me, and
the plans they have carried out are
plans which were worked out first of all
