MAY PREPARE tue PLATFORM
BELIEVED THAT BRYAN HAS
MUCH or IT WRITTEN.
Protective Tariff will Be Held Re-
sponsible For High Cost Of
Living.

Baltimore. June 26.-tf MI. Bryan
should not be temporary chairman Of
the Democratic convention he prob
ably will be chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions. He will be the
representative Of his state on that
committee aud his position in the
party is such that the place will be
conceded to him by common consent.
The general opinion is that he will
prepare the greater part of the plat
form. Indeed many think he now has
much of 1t written, but he is reticent
on the subject.
Delegates are too much occupied
with the. temporary Craftsmanship to
give close attention to the questions
Of resolutions. but in 60 far as there
was expression OF the subject It in
dicated a harmonious condition.
Representatives of some of the east
ern states express apprehension that
there may be an effort to force ap-
prevail Of the initiative. referendum
and recall plan Of government and %
there is It will be opposed.
!. Mr. Bryan has. however. indicated
the opinion that these pertain only to
state administration and 1t is not be,
lieved that he will contend Tor any
radical procurement on this subject
II TOR any at all. Z
2 There certainly will be planks pledg,
ing the party iu unmistakable terms
to the support Of income tax legislar
ton. to the election Of senators By
direct vote Of the people and to prt
mary elections.
The protective tariff will he held re.
sponsible for the trusts and the high
cost Of living, and there will be q pos.
tive declaration for rapid revision
