to resolutions, but insofar as there

Gated harmonious condition.
Representatives Of some of the east
ern states express apprehension that
there may be an effort to force an ap-
proval of the initiative, referendum
and recall. II there is, ii will be op-
posed. Bryan has, however, indicated
the opinion that these pertain only to
states administration, and 1T is not be
lieved he win contend for any radical
pronouncement on this subject Ger
tainly there will be planks pledging
the party to the support of income tax
legislation and to the election of sena-
tors by a direct vote Of the people and
to primary elections.
The protective tariff will be held re-
sponsible for the trusts and high cost
of living, and there will be a positive
declaration for a rapid revision down
ward. The tariff work Of the house will
be strongly endorsed and the presi-
dents vetoes as strongly condemned.

THEATRES WILL ENDEAVOR TO
BREAK MOVING PICTURES
BY Associated Prsss-

New York, June 24.-Aiming to win
back from the motion picture houses
to the legitimate theatres thousands
of amusement seekers who have
changed their allegiance in the past
few years, a syndicate Of big theatri-
cal men, including the Shuberts, VIII
liam A. Brady, Lew Fields, Marcus
Loewe and others, have formed cir
cult of theatres embracing thirty
cities in the east and middle west and
will send over ii a number Of COM
panies which will play at ten,
twenty and thirty cents and others
which demand the regular prices Of
$1.50 and 81.
The theory is that If they can draw
audiences to their houses for part Of
the week at the lower prices, they
will get them into the habit of going
there to see the more expensive pro-
ductions as well.

proved the selection of former Judge Alton B. Parker of
