Control Of Mississippi.

The planks on Mississippi river improve
ment and conservation are regarded as
direct advances. There Is an implied
declaration in the Mississippi river planks
against state control and in favor OF
turning over the whole question Of the
regulation Of the great waterway to the
federal government. In the matter OF
the preservation Of the natural resources
the committee would not take backward
STEP but 1t Is emphatic in the advance
ment of the theory that a policy which
would drive our homeseekers to other
countries should not prevail. There,
therefore. will be a declaration for the

encourage settlement and home-building.
In view of the desire to please Mr..
Roosevelt's followers some surprise has
been expressed over the committees de-
cision to insert a declaration in favor of
one term for the President Of the United
States. 1t is there. however, and prob
ably 1t will remain. No expression Is
given as to the length Of the term, which
would be matter of detail in legislation.

The leaders are making no claims, how

tiers. They are relying On a prolongation
of the struggle. The longer it lasts. they

DR.. Owen, secretary of the Underwood

Their gains came from the two in Maine,
two in New Jersey, one in Hawaii, one in
Porto Rico and one-half vote from Vir-

gains on the second and third ballots to-
day, but are not looking for much change

Gov. Burke Of North Dakota, who was
in the presidential contest until last night,

Surprise in the Ballot.

1t was said that a number of surprises
were encountered in this mornings ballot.
Tennessee had been expected to give six
teen votes for Clark, Of which he got but
six. the other eighteen being equally di-
vided between Wilson, Harmon and Tn
derwood. The Tennessee delegation is
uninstructed.
Equally surprising was the vote in Ohio,
where it had been understood that nine
teen votes would go for Wilson and the
other twenty-nine for Harmon. Instead
Of this Clark received one, Wilson. ten
and Harmon thirty-flve. two being absent.
Today the Clark forces say that on
the first ballot this afternoon Speaker
Clark will certainly receive thirty-two
additional votes, as follows: One I'm
derwood vote from Hawaii, two I'm
derwood votes from Maine. seven Har-
mon votes in Michigan. three Harmon
votes in Nebraska, two Underwood
votes in New Jersey. seven and one
half votes from North Carolina, one
Underwood vote from Porto Rico,
probably six votes from Tennessee and
one-half Harmon vote from Utah.
They also claim that there is a posi-
bility that twenty-eight votes from
Ohio instructed for Harmon might go
to Clark on this ballot.
