 of Party's Presidential Candidate
By c. E. STEWART

Washington June 14-(Special.) )-Na- tional Committeeman Daniels has started movement to bring about the nomina- tion for Vice President of the man who stands second for the presidential nomi- nation on the final ballot.
 Mir. Daniels says that the Baltimore convention should be repetition of the convention of 1884, when the ticket was Cleveland and Hendricks. both of whom were candidates for the presidency. He says that the party cannot take any chances on nominating "small' man for the vice presidency, but should nomi- nate q man that is big enough to be President.
 There-are many stories in circulation about what Bryan Is going to do. and it must be confessed that the Bryan prob | lem Is almost as great a one as tho Roosevelt problem in Chicago. Some peo- pie declare that Bryan is preparing the speech of his life. and in case of a dead- lock in the convention that he will deliver it with the expres purpose of starting n stampede Bryanward that will sweep the for the fourth time.
 It Is not believed. however. that Bryan can repeat the crown of thorns and cross of gold" stunt Nevertheless rumor has 1t that careful preparations have been made to checkmate such scheme should 1t be sprung.
 Plans are being quietly formulated. it
 is said, by several members of the demo- cratic national committee to create new office, to be known as the chairman of the campaign committee. This new off, cer of the campaign who will work with the national chairman. may or may not be a member of the national committee. and his selection is to be made by the presidential candidate, who will. of course, be Underwood--after conference with the new national committee mem- bers. The national chairman will con tinue in general charge of the campaign.
 Already the name of United States Sem ator O'Gorman of New York has been discussed among some of the national committeeman who expect to be returned as members of the new committee. Just how many members will constitute the new campaign committee has not been considered. but the creation of the office of chairman was believed to be advisable because the coming presidential contest promises too much work for the national chairman.
 Many comments are heard over the great contrast there will be in the two conventions. There will be none of the strife and bitterness in Baltimore that eharacterizes the Chicago riot The nomi- nee of the Baltimore convention will stand at the head of solid and har- monious party organization. with clearly defined issues that are bound to appeal to the voters of the country. On the other hand. the nominee of the Chicago con. vention. whoever he may be- will head only one faction of the republican party, and the other faction will give its sup port to the democratic candidate by vot- ing the democratic ticket. or negatively support him by not voting at all. and in any event a democratic victory is assured and believed to be certain. even by re- publicans
