ey AssoeIated Press.

Helena. Mont, July 11.-Robert
Rose, former secretary tc William j.
Bryan, is named as authority for a
story Of how the Nebraskan modified
his Ryan Belmont Morgan resolution
and speech in the Baltimore conven-
tion out o. regard for the feelings Of
the presidents wife.
Mr.. Rose acted as Bryan's stenog-
rapher at Baltimore. He says that
Mr.. Bryan's speech as written before
delivery, beside scoring Ryan ct al,
contained a few points about the
Chicago steam roller, and referred to
the president as alleged recipient of
favors from the interests"
On his way to the convention hall,
Mr.. Bryan was told that Mrs. Taft
was in the audience. After the address
had been delivered and the resolution
against the interests" adopted, Mr..
Bryan quit the platform.
Then, said Mr.. Rose, he asked the
Nebraskan why he had not completed
the speech as it had been dictated.
Promptly the Nebraskan declared that
entirely out of regard for Mrs. Taft's
feelings he expurgated the address,
emitting from the resolution all refer
ence to the president.

is. A NOVICE IN POLITICS

William F. McCombs, of New
York, who will be the new chairman
of the Democratic National commit
tee and manage the Wilson presi-
dental campaign, is a novice in poll
tics. His first entrance into the
game was when he undertook the
Wilson canvass a few months ago.
He succeeded so well in managing the
Wilson pre-convention campaign and
exhibited such good judgment during
the trying days that the fight was on
the convention floor that the New Jer-
sey governor determined to retain him
for the big fight with the third party
and Mr.. Taft.
McCombs Is a native of Arkansas.
He is a Princeton graduate. From
Princeton he went to New York,
where he is known as a very sue
cessful lawyer. He is forty-six years
old.
While Gov. Wilson has not made it
known who he prefers as chairman Of
the national committee it is the gem
eraI belief that he will suggest Mr.
McCombs, and it is known that who
ever he suggests will be named by the
national committee.
