The New York delegation, which elected

of this was the tariff plank. which amount

reduction programme undertaken by Chair

There were signs of a storm over the
plank, insisted on by the more radical
Bryan followers. such as Representative
Henry, Of Texas, providing for tho recall OF

the wrath Of the conservatives, who con-
tended that It would be a political bunder.
