the leading planks In the Democratic

interests Of the country.
Trusts-Strict enforcement of the

Reforms-Enactment Of an income

Internal Improvements--Liber ap.
propriptiOns for rivers and habors;
federal control Of Mississippi levees.
Mr. Bryan had good deal to do
with the building Of the platform. but
some of his present ideas were re.
tected. For example. the committee
refused to adopt u plank favorable to

Mr. Bryan discussed the advisable.

ground that whatever legislation
might be enacted In this connection

not press his point.

The tariff plank Ia not entirely
satisfactory to Mr.. Bryan. He fav.
