Direct Vote for Committeeman

The first recommends that hereafter ma
tIonal committeeman shall be elected d.
rectly by the people and shall qualify i'm
medately, or before the prellminaries Of
the national convention. The effect of this
would be TO have the newly elected ma
tional committeeman pass on the creden-
tIals OF delegates elected at the same time
as themselves.
Bryan's second separate resolution is one
urging the different states to extend the
application of the direct primary principle
and TO unity as much as possible their
general primary laws.
It is Bryans desire to have this conven-
ton indorse these two resolutions in an
eral platform.
Apart from these extra resolutions, the
committee Will report an antitrust plank
practically identical with that advanced by
Senator O'Gorman IN an interview in The
Tribune two weeks ago 1t calls not for any
legislative addition to or subtraction from
the Sherman law, which Senator O'GormaD
believes ia all right as II stands but X
recommends that this convention go on
record as in favor If substituting criminal
prosecution. with Jail sentences. for re-
sponslble officers for civil suits OF dissolu-
ton and fines for officers. 1t is TO be a
recommendation toward the administrative
rather than the legislative phase Of the
Sherman law.
The currency plank will denounce the
Aldrich plan OF currency reform and the
idea Of central reserve banks, with pass
ing slap at the money trust" based on the
Henry scheme OF money trust investiga-
ton.
Tariff Revision Downward.
So far az the tariff plank is concerned.
II was reported from behind the closed doors
Of the committee room that it would not go
into great details The plan is TO recon-
mend tariff revision downward In such A
manner as viii not inIure legitimate busi-
ness"
Southern Senators and Representatives
were busy visitors and debaters before the
committee begging that the idea OF putting
forth definite free list on raw materials
should he thrown into the discard That
vas understood to be the Bryan plan. but

WILSON FEELS A WINNER
Entertains Roosevelt Leader, but
Doesn't Discuss Colonel.

Sea C;irt. y. J., June 27.-Former Gov
ernor Fort called on Governor Wilson to-
rIoht and had half an hours talk with him,
during which. according TO Mr.. Fort Colo
mel Roosevelt's name was not mentioned
Mr. Fort. who lives at Spring Lake, Nearby
said his visit to Governor Wilson was mere
" a social call.
II realized that this was an anxious night
for the Governor" said Mr.. Fort, so
thought would keep him company for haIt
an hour, and. incidentally, get some late
news from tho convention. Colonel Roose-
veIt's name was not mentioned, neither Ola
we discuss third party or the recent con-
ventlon at Chicago
The Governor was in fine spirits and ne
said no considered ms chances for the nom

the Democratic convention began he showed

drop 1t.
The one-term proposal for President VIII
be one of the planks, but no mention VIII
be made Of the length of that term. That
is matter that should be left entirely to
Congress. was the declaration of members
of the committee.
PonuIar election of Senators, the income
tax and federal control and supervision OF
the levees for preventing river FOODS are
other planks which will be recommended.
Bryan's previous ideas on inheritance
taxes and free raw materials are among
the radical proposals which have gone into
the discard.

plank on Mississippi River improvements.
It was prepared by Senator-elect Vards-
man, of Mississippi, and Representative
