Of Texas were sent post haste to Mr..
Bryan's rooms. The committee ar
rived too late-Mr. Bryan had started
to the convention hall
The committee of senators returned
to the committee room just in time
to hear Mr.. Bryan say he was not In
sympathy with the forces which ap-
peared to be directing the trend OF
political events in the party and he
was not sure he could support the
platform to be presented by the COM
mittee He said that unless the plat
form embraced his ideas OF true prog
ress he would submit a minority re-
port to the convention. He said he
would take no appointment which
might embarrass him in pursuing
such a course.
Not content to so easily abandon
their harmony program the committee
turned the matter over to Senators
Rayner, O'Gorman and Culberson ana
they held an earnest discussion with
Mr.. Bryan In one corner OF the room,
but their efforts were fruitless.
Senator Kern was turned to as rep
resenting the progressive Democracy
and there was no nomination in oppo-
sition to him. His election was unani-
nous and the committee began hear
ings preliminary to closing the doors
for the actual work of making the
party platform.
BY vote of % to 16 the rules com.
mittee of the convention agreed to
the plan to defer the presentation OF
the platform until after the party's
candidate for president had been nom
mated. In the absence of any true In
dication as to whether the conserva'
tive or the progressive" wings OF the
party would dominate the convention
It was considered good policy to hold
back the platform in order to have Il
drawn so as to be acceptable to the
conventions choice.

possible to obtain private capital 70
such enterprises.
NO rental should be charged for the
The reason for this pro
vision is that in the first place, If the
enterprise is able to pay a rental, it
should take the form OF reduction
in price for the power sold, which
gives the benefit directly TO the con
sumer, whereas if a rental be charged
il becomes an indirect tax upon the
consumer for the benefit, not OF his
community. but OF the federal treasury.
The people Of the west feel that as
practically all eastern water powers
are in private hands and pay no taxes
to the federal treasury, the west should
have the benefit of its water powers
for the localities in which they exist
Where streams are improved at the
expense OF the government or state,
the power should be reserved TO the
government to assess the power COM
panies occupying sites upon the river
affected. for the reasonable benefits
conferred by said government improve
ment. the assessment to take the form
of an annual interest charge, payable
to the government or state.
Probably it would be desirable to
extend this last named feature to the
extent that if private corporation
makes an improvement upon stream
which will benefit not only its own
property but other property upon the
stream, some means should be had Of
compelling the sharing Of it with the
cost of said improvement among the
other parties benefited.
1T might be provided that in the
case the lands thus granted shall later
be required by the government for its
own use, that the grantee be recon-
Ipensated for the reasonable value Of
the Improvement which they have
made upon the sites, and for such i'm
provements as they have made which
while not situated upon the govern
ment sites are nevertheless dependent
upon said sites for their usefulness, as
example, transmission lines connect
ing the power plants built upon gov
ernment sites with the markets which
they supply, whose usefulness woult
be entirely destroyed if the site were
compelled to be abandoned.
Comparatively short term fran
chises on such sites should not be con
