Killing Off the
Unit Rule Pleases
Governor Wilson

SEAGIRT, N. j., June Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson was elated :odaJ at
the action of the democratic national
convention last night on the unit rule"
II have always maintained he said,
that where delegates are instructed by
district in primary election they should
vote accordingly, and not be bound by the
unit rule. For instance, here in New Jer-
sey We have twenty-four of the twenty
eight delegates-an overwhelm,ag ag major
ity-yet we have never dreamed of en-
focing the unit rule. The action OF the
convention shows that it IS progressive
gathering believe it was taken without
regard to any mans candidacy
The governor sail he was much graft
fled by the demons. -ation given him in
the convention last night, but regarded 1t
more as demonst alton for progrts S.
siveness'' than as personal triumph.
while 1t was called Wilson demonstra-
tion," he added, - am inclined to think
it was q case Il demonstration for prin-
ciple rather than foi I. candidate"

Dirigible Balloon
is Making Trip
Over the North Sea

HAMBURG, Germany, June 2.-The
Zeppelein dirigible airship Victoria Luise
started at 6:15 this morning on a ten
hour oversee trip with twelve passengers
on board. The monster airship flew d.
rectly out from this city over the north
sea.
1t is stated in some quarters that the
purpose of the trip is to demonstrate that
an airship raid on England is possible,
as the vessels speed of forty-five miles
an hour and its fuel carrying capacity
gives a radius as wide as London from
Hamburg and as far as Bristol from
Emden.
The Victoria Luise passed over the
Island of Heligoland at 9:15.
Shortly before 3 clock this afternoon
the Victoria Luise was again sighted
over Hamburg, where 1t landed at S;lo'
after a flight lasting exactly one hour.

H.. the New Unit Rule

=. BALTIMORE, June 27.-The effect OF
the action OF the democratic convention
last night in amending the rule making
1t binding on delegations to adhere to
the unit rule was the subject of wide
discussion today.
Though different views of the conven-
ton action were expressed by party
leaders the actual effect of the amend
ment was explained by Charles R. Crisp.
parliamentarian of the house of repre-
sentatives, who is acting as parlia-
mentary clerk to the convention.
THE action of the convention in
adopting the report of the committee on
rules" said Mr.. Crisp, will be to bind
to the unit ruls all delegates elected by
state conventions where the state applies
the unit rule. Delegates who were elected
by congressional districts or In prefer
entail primaries will not be bound by
the unit rule under the amendment to
the rules"
Supporters of Governor Woodrow Will
son claim their candidate will gain many
votes by this action beside the eighteen
which he will gain from Ohio.

CONCLUDE WORK IN AFTERNOON
Subcommittee Names Two Men When
Find Work Incomplete.
IS ESSENTIALLY PROGRESSIVE
Especial Stress to Be Laid Upon
Tariff for Revenue.
F0 MISSISSIPPI IMPROVEMENT
Referendum and Recall Will BE En-
dorsed as Progressive Measures,
but States Will Be Left to
Act Freely on Them.

BALTIMORE, juno Civilian ].
Bryan and Senator OGoraan of New
York will write the platform of the
democratic national convention.
When the working subcommittee of the
committee on resolutions met today the
members found thmselves without plat
form draft of sufficient cohesiveness to
form basis Tor the committees opera
tions and a conclusion was arrived at
speedily to appoint second subcommittee
to prepare a draft for the convenience of
the subcommittee and later of the full
committee, and Bryan and O'Gorman
were designated to. perform that service.
The subcommittee then adjourned, with
the understanding that it would recon-
vene at o'clock and that the full COM
mittee would be called together at Z
O'Clock this evening.
Bryan and O'Gorman went to work i'm
mediately to thresh the platform into
shape. They turned one of the big COM
mttee rooms into their meeting place.
Two stalwart sentinels were placed at
the door and admission was refused to all.
They completed their work at 2:30 p. m.
VIII BE Progressive.
Before beginning his work, Bryan told
some of his friends that the platform
would be an essentially progressive
document" Especial stress will be laid
on the tariff plank which will declare
for a tariff for revenue only.
The democratic house of representatives
will be commended for its work in the
downward revision Of the tariff schedules
and the party will be pledged to continue
it's labors in this line.
The attitude of the president will be
condemned and the republican party
charged with breach Of faith in failing to
perform it's promises of four years ago.
A strong plank in support of the Mis-
sissippi river improvement is promised
and Senator Vardman of Mississippi and
Representatives Broussard Of Louisiana
have been selected as delegates to pre-
pare 1t. r' ,7--4es .... .~
Referendum and recall will be indorsed
as progressive measures. but the carry
ing out Of these plans of government
will be relegated to the party in the
various states.
Planks strongly indorsing an income
tax, the direct election of senators and
primary elections are expected.

Predicts Chicago Will
Become Metropolis

CHICAGO, June N.-Chicago will be the
metropolis of the United States in twen-
ty-five years. Walder D. Moody. manage
ing director of the Chicago plan commits
sion, predicted in an address today before
the National Press association. He also
said Chicago's Indebtedness was only
SIS per capita compared with New York's
s213 per capita.
THE problem of the cities is one OF
the greatest confronting this country.
he said. "Forty-three per cent of the
population of the United States lives in
cities and Y per cent live in Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia. Army sta
t!stics tend to show that men coming
from the great cities are not so rubust
ss those from the country. There is no
reason for this If the cities are planned
properly"
The speaker credited the late Daniel
H. Burnham with beginning the trans
formation of Chicago from an overgrown
village to a beautiful city.
