New Jersey Governor. Reports here To-
day were all to the effect that McAooo
would be named as vice. chairman OF the
campaign committee.
Wilson men here asserted that the new
treasurer of the national committee

the campaign committee. vii be either
John u. Crimmins or Henry Morgenthau.
both of New York, but Hudspeth insisted
that the Governor had not yet made up
his mind rs to his choice for chief Imam
cial officer Of his campaign army
Coddins the Old Line Bosses.
Hudspeth's sweeping resolution left
the future size of the campaign commit
tee. which is to have supreme power UNI
der Wilson, to the new national chair
man. and Taggarts selection. it was
said, was only a forerunner of future
recognition of the old line bosses Of the
party, who appear at first sigh to have
been somewhat sidetracked by the Will
son programme. Taggart will be named
on the campaign committee chiefly be-
cause he is the member from the state
that produced the Vice-Presidential NOM
inee. but it is expected that when the

room will also be made for Roger Sulli-
van as one of the lay members. Roger
is no longer the member from Illinois,
but 1t is said the Wilson men want 10
have the benefit of the advice Of some of
the oldtimers who have been through
previous campaigns.
with the grist OF work which Hud-
speth presented all ground out by the
willing committee, some of the new
members began to talk about the organ
izatlon of Wilson and Marshall clubs in
their respective states, when Roger Sui
Ivan. holding a proxy TO Justify his
pointed remarks, got the floor long
enough TO offer this little gem:
You can talk all you want to about
your Wilson and Marshall clubs later,
but the thing you want to talk about
now Is money. This committee is like
all other committees--its broke-and the
first thing you need is about $3.50. 900 to
get out literature and get things start
ed. We need about 81 900. 900. but you've
got to have some Of 1t right away"
Josephus Daniels smoothed things over
with a motion 10 adjourn to I o'clock

since noon, and the afternoon session was
given over 10 fervid orotory Of the cam
paign variety by the new members
Along about o'clock. after a score
had told how difficult It was going to
be 20 raise money In their respective
states. while the real money getters OF
previous campaigns like Sullivan and
Tom TaGgart were downstairs ENJOYING
themselves, Mr.. Davies declared that all
the talk was getting them nowhere. and
he moved that the roll be called and every
national committeeman answer TO his
name by pledging the amount ne thought
he could raise for the national committee.
Sdestepping a Money Call.
Judge w. r. King, of Oregon. couldn't
get to his feet quickly enough 70 amend
Daviess motion by making it a rollcall
by mail He explained that people
wouldn't like to see in the newspapers
that the Democratic National Committee
had pledged a large amount Of money.
Some one moved that tie committed
adjourn without considering the Davies
or the King motions. but Senator Gore,
who was present with a proxy, insisted
that before adjournment tho chairman
should request each national committee
man TO send I'm 81 600 to the national head
quarters before August Z. The request
was duly made.
Apart from the inspired resolutions Of
Hudspeth, which constituted the bulk Of
the business, Mr.. Mack presented one
authorizing the chairman 90 select the
national headquarters; Mr. McGraw pre-
scented one authorizing the secretary 10
select his assistants, and Senator Gore
one which rected that the committee
was happy that such complete harmony
prevailed ana which thanked, In advance,
the Independent voters who they ex-
pected would support the Democratic
ticket. Walter J. Costello, from the
District of Columbia, read a short let

Speaker expressed the hope that the
committee would form its plans wisely for
the success of Wilson and Marshall and
organize for the campaign Immediately
and thoroughly"
The committee authorized Mr.. McCombs
to telegraph their thanks and good wishes
to the Speaker.
The committeeman left Chicago at Il
o'clock bound for indianapolis, where
they will pay a complimentary visit to
