Quoted and his suggestions to- the Demo-

with those ideas.
/ Tho Governor sought his room imme-
dia.ely after dinner. leaving directions
that he was not to he disturbed except
for most important reasons. He went
there because from about 10 o'clock this
morning until 7 O'Clock tonight there had
been an uninterrupted procession OF visi-
tors. and the signs were that they were to
keep coming mp to midnight.
In tho list to-day were five national

word of mouth tho wishes OF the nominee.
! while a sixth committeeman. Robert Ew-
ing of Louisiana. came just after the

perhaps his own conception Of the personal
activity Of the Presidential nominee on the
stump.
Judging only by the expressions that
have from time TO time slipped out around
the present campaign headquarters at
Sea Girt. words let fall by visitors Of note.
the indications are that William +.
McCombs will be favored for national
chairman. William q. McAdoo for treas
urer, a strong Western man like Osborn
Of Wyoming for Western manager, Robert
Hudspeth for Eastern manager with the
secretaryship left for the committee itself
to fill
1t is safe to say there will be no recon-
mendation for a campaign committee
or any other subdivision OF power which
m light harase or handicap the work Of
the man at the lead Of the committee.
There will be some few suggestions on q
campaign plan, the basis Of which will be
demand for an aggressive. progressive
campaign in every State OF the Union.
The Governor will have considerable
to say about finances. He will insist
that the treasurership go to a man who is
very close TO him and who ia accessible to
the nominee, for Woodrow Wilson declared
tonight that he will exercise the strictest
cons orship and supervision over the
campaign contributions. As PROOF OF
that he has personally acknowledged
every campaign contribution 40 far made.
There have not been many. but he
had to sign his name twenty times to-day
10 as many letters acknowledging the
receipt of SUMS ranging from 81 to 500
and he will see TO il that the name OF every
contributor to the fight is published in
accordance with the law.
Are you going to acknowledge per.
sonaIly every campaign contr1Dutlon!

so far as | am able. ! hope, however
= that it will soon be physically impossible
Then it ia your intention to exercise
the closest supervision over contriou-
tions?'
: phatic reply.
NO" said the Governor with laugh;
2 'They have been all right. The small
a contributions in large volume is tho
Governors idea OF how il should be.
There is no doubt that the Governor is
strongly disinclined toward long speak
ing tours. lie will as much as possible

will take William Mckinley as his model.
but he will make tours into doubtful
p: States within easy travelling distance.
II has not yet been decided whether

" spokesman at the National committee
: meet ing or will carry letter which will
:, set forth his views. The Governor him
u self had not fully made up his mind on his
