Jersey the democratic nominee for president upset party political tradi- tions of a generation when he named as an advisory committee to aid in his el"ts.an II nm tn: majority of Mllo mare tucst unknown outside of whom are almost unknown outside of now on Viii have a large voice in di- recting the destinies of the democrat e party.
 The selection of these men means the passing of the old-line democratic bosses, for one thing, and, for anoth- CT, the advent into the political arena of entirely new forces, which are as far removed from the system of poli- tics as played iii the past as the men themselves are different from the Murphys, the Guffeys, the Penroses, and other so-called leaders who are simply machine politicians. This is the campaign committee the governor selected:
 William F. Mdcombs, of New York, chairman; Robert s. Hudspeth. New Jersey; Josephus Daniels, North Carolina; Willard L. Salisbury, Dela- ware; Col. Robert Ewing, Louisiana; A. Mitchell Palmer, Pennsylvania; Joseph B. Davies, Wisconsin; Judge William R. King, Oregon; Senator Thomas P. Gore, Oklahoma; Senator James A. Reed, Missouri; Representa- tive Daniel J. McGillicudy, Maine; Representative Albert S. Burleson. Texas, and William G. McAdoo, New York.
 McCombs a New Figure.
 These are the records of the men who will try to guide the democratic party to victory this fall, and also look out for it's future thereafter.
 William F. McCombs, who succeed ed Norman B. Mack, representative of the old-time machine methods, is chairman of the democratic national committee, is new figure in Ameri- can politics. A close friend of Gov. Wilson, he had charge of the nomi- nee,s campaign and amazed more eX- lerlenced and older campaigners by his simple, above-board methods of piloting candidate through the intri- cacles of pre-convention fight. McCombs is lawyer, and his meth eds are directly opposed to the old time style of campaigning Working on the principle that candidate should have nothing to conceal and that his appeal should be to the peo- pie in the most direct manner possi- ble, he advised Gov. Wilson to tour the country and get into personal contact with voters. As result Gov. Wilson toured about every state in the union and became a popular candi- date
 In selecting Judge Robert H. Huds- peth of Jersey City to act on the ad- visory committee Gov. Wilson cement ed the party in that state still closer. Hudspeth has been an aggressive democrat in New Jersey for years. lie has been speaker of the New Jersey assembly and state senator. He fought hard for Bryan in other campaign, and has been chairman of the democrtic central committed He is an old campaigner, and his selec- ton is looked upon as peculiarly for tunate, in view of the fact that. in 1911 he and Governor Wilson had falling out.
 Josephus Daniels of North Carolina was one of the first southern demo- crats to stand for Governor Wilson Tor president For 16 years he had been doing valiant work for William J. Bryan. He is editor of the Raleigh News and Observer and campaigner or merit He is still young man and his selection as member of the Will son cabinet is considered by, demo- crats here to be excellent politics. He fought hard for Wilson's nomination, ana 1T elected Mir. Daniels probably VIII be still further rewarded.
 Willard l.. Salisbury, national con- mitteeman from Delaware, has been the democratic leader in that state for many years, and his selection is the nearest approach the governor has made to recognizing in his advisory cabinet the old-line politicians.
