a long way without breaking"
Congressman Palmer is emphatic
in his statement that a young man
should be selected as national chair
man.
This would not bar McCombs. as
he is a very active young man" Mr..
Palmer said. Speaking for a ma
jority of the young men Of the coun-
try, | insist that we don't want a
politician of the old school to manage
this campaign. We thrust the ma
chine politicians out of control in
Pennsylvania and the cleanup of the
Keystone State must spread through
the nation. We took a delegation to
Baltimore, not a man of which was
controlled by anyone. as was clearly
shown by the vote on the vice-Presi-
Dental nomination. We want a man
who the young men of the country
can turn IL behind. WE should nave
a nan who will attract the younger
element away from the leadership of
Theodore Roosevelt"
Expect Ollie James.
Chairman Mack reiterated the
statement made at Baltimore that he
would not consider any proposition
to continue at the head Of the ma
tional committee.
Coming in on the train from Balti-
more the question of the chairman
was discussed at length by the com
mitteemen. The opinion was freely
expressed that a man experienced in
the political game should be chosen to
manage the campaign. Mr.. Lynch
was the most favored by the commit
tee, but at the same time they frank
ly admitted that the question must
be settled by Governor Wilson.

The national committeeman mem
bers are of one accord in the opinion
that Governor Wilson should not re-

him giving up the Office now. as he
would be able to look after his duties
here and at the same time direct his
presidential campaign.
No Plan Formulated.
When asked if anything had been
decided in his conference with the
committeeman Governor Wilson said
