Vice President to be Chosen Thous.
and Miles Away From Where
the President Ia to Come
From.
STUDYING GEOGRAPHY
Both Candidates Are Not to Come
From the Same Part OF the
Country Is the Plan
Proposed.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
BALTIMORE, June 25.-There was
much quiet consideration by the DEM
ocratic leaders here today of available
timber for the vice presidency. While
admitting that geographical conditions
would control and that final selection
would not be possible until after the
head of the ticket had been decided
upon, the claims of the various candi-
dates were discussed by the men who
will have the task of deciding who is
the most available candidate.
II Bryan should be nominated for
president, the general impression was
that he would prevail on Governor
Wilson Of New Jersey to be his run
ming mate, though Wilson has told his
friends that under no circumstances
would he accept second place
There was we'll defined boom In
certain circles for Senator O'Gorman,
of New York. He has taken dis
tinct stand for progressive measures
ever since he entered the senate and
1t was admitted his popularity in New
York would benefit any presidential
candidate If he could be persuaded to
accept the second place.
Governor Marshall, Of Indiana. al
though presidential candidate, had
many warm supporters. as had Cover
fnpr Foss. Ut Massachusetts,, and Gov
ernor Baldwin, OF Connecticut.
Congressman William Sulzer, OF New
York, had personally conducted
boom which he declared was promis
Ing. He said that he had the support
Of dozen state delegations, and that
If geographical conditions were right
he believed he would be the man.
Governor Dix OF New York was
much in the limelight. He has been
quietly mixing with the delegates and
has made a good impression on many
Of them, especially those from the
western states. Mayor Preston, of Bal.
timore, has established headquarters
and his boomers we're declaring that
1t would greatly aid the party IL he
were taken, because of his position
below the Mason and Dixon line. In
the same position for the same reason
were Clark Howell, of Georgia, and
former Governor Montague, of vir.
ginia.
Governor Burke. OF North Dakota,
had many friends among the western
progressives, and the friends of Form
er Congressman Francis Burton Har.
rison. of New York, we're also sound
ing his praises.

OPPOSITE CHICAGO ONE
Tariff For Revenue Only Will BE Fa-
vored and Currency Legislation
to Prevent Panics Is
Proposed.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.l ]
BALTIMORE, Md, June 26.-That
the democratic platform to be adopt
ed will be in direct contrast to that
LOT the convention that renominated
President Taft was the consensus Of
opinion among the leaders today. That
Bryan will be one of the dominant
figures In shaping the document was
admitted. Whether he wins or loses
his fight on temporary organization,
he will be Nebraska's member Of the
resolutions committee and II the pro.
gressives are in control, he will be
the chairman OF the committee.
1t has been definitely settled that
there will be no specific consideration
of the initiative. referendum and re-
call, although 1t Is possible that they
may be suggested as proper measures
for consideration by the states them
selves. The direct election OF United
States senators and preferential
primary, as well as the direct nomi-
nation Of most officials will be favor
ed in strong terms. The platform
will also declare for the regulation
of all corporations and for the crimi-
nal prosecution Of all persons in off,
fetal positions on corporations that vio-
late the anti-monopoly laws, A tar.
If for revenue only will be favored
but II there Is any organized attempt
4 to put the party on record as favor
i ing the free Introduction OF all raw
materials, there will be a strong fgh-
in opposition from the southern states
i Regulation of the money trust and Q
|,pledge that the party will, If placed in
power, enact currency legislation
which will put it beyond the power oil
the banks to create panics, will also
be one Of the strongest planks.
An income tax will be specifically
/ favored. though many of the lead
ers believe the party should go on
record as favoring government inheri.
tance tax.
! Full publicity in all OF the affairs
of the government will be favored as
:, we'll as the fullest and most complete
publicity before election of the re.
ceipts and expenditures for campaign
purposes.
/ The republican party will be scored
for its failure to reduce the tariff. the
.Payne-Aldrich bill being specifically
4 denounced as an assault on the wage
earners Of the country. President Taft
will be condemned by name for his
veto OF the various low tariff meas
ures.
1t is the plan of all of the leaders
to make the platform adopted here
\ the shortest In the recent history o
the party, and to eliminate from 1t the
verbose verbiage usually associated
with the declaration of principles
The document will neither point
with pride nor view with alarm"

BETTER INSPECTION AND MORE
DRILLING OF CREWS.

Another recommendation Is that the
llfeboat and raft accommodations on
seagoing vessels be based on the num-
Der OF persons carried. instead OF on
tho tonnage OF the ship and that they
be sufficient for all on board.
The court thinks changes may be
necessary in the size and type Of boats
carried by ships and in the methods
of slowing and launching them. Pos
sibly It may be necessary to reserve
one or more of the decks for the
CARRYING OF boats and the drilling of
the crew.
The Court recommends that the life
boats be provided with signalling APP
paratus, and with compass. and VITA
provisions, and that the number cach
boat IL Intended TO carry should be
plainly marked.
Tho Court also recommends more
searching Inspection of the boats, and
more frequer' drilling of the crew.
enough Of W ON should be trained TO
man the boats.
Further recommendation are:
Sight tests for ships lookoAits. a police
system for control In cases of emer-
gency, a continuous wireless service.
regulations for moderating speed OF
altering the vessels course In the ice
region.
The Court suggests that an interna-
tional convention be called to agree or
a common rule for the subdivision OF
ships, also as to life-saving apparatus,
wireless regulations. speed In the ice re-
gions and the use of searchiights.

He said he was convinced those on

ten miles and sold have reached her

The Judgment recommends more

The Board OF Trade should also IN
vestigate regarding the question of pro-
vldng wa.ertIght deck or decks
stretching along the whole or part OF
the length OF the ship at a convenient
distance above the, waterllne and should
also investigate Whether the openings
should be watertight doors or some
other device.
The Board OF Trade should also report
generally on the increasing protection
given by the subdivision Of the vessel
with the object OF keeping the ship
anoat With tho greatest proportion Of
her length in free communication with
the sea.
Tho Court recommends that the Brit
Ish Board OF Trade be empowered to
enforce its conclusions on the foregoing
points and TO require that the designs

ton and should have at the same time
power TO direct changes to be made.
