Platform and Candidate.

If some advocate OF canal tolls for
American coastwise shipping had risen
in the Baltimore convention and op-
posed the exemption plank in the plat
form reported by the committee. and the
convention after discussion had rejected
the plank. would Mr.. Wilson as the NOM
inee have accepted the change? In all
probability. yes. AS rule. presiden-
tial nominee accepts whatever In the way
of a platform is handed to him, no mat
ter what his personal Views at the time
on this matter or that may be.
In 1888 the tariff issue was prominent.
and Mr.. Cleveland was seeking re-elec-
ton. His views had been communicated
IN a message he had sent TO Congress the
previouS December. He had recommend
ed tariff for revenue only In plain
terms. But at the democratic national
convention his personal friends with his
knowledge strove for a straddle on the
subject They were defeated by Henry
Watterson. who insisted on a straight,
clear:cut deliverance. in keeping with the
party's record and professions. Mr..
Cleveland accepted the Wattersonian
program.
In 1892. Mr.. Cleveland's friends in the
democratic national convention again
tried to straddle the tariff question. and
were again baked by Mr.. Watterson.
And again MI Cleveland, who had de-
sired the straddle, accepted the straight

The Next House.

This Is not a good time for picking the
leader OF the next House, as some are
doing. First, catch your House. Still.
the topic is tempting.
Mr.. Underwood goes to the Senate. well
acclaimed for his House work. He has
shown every quality of leadership there
grasp. negotiation. patience and concilia-
ton. When he took charge there was
vide doubt as to whether even so comp'-
tent man could handle party so long
In the minority in Congress now CHARGED
with control. He soon showed his lual-
Ity. and that 1t was sufficient. The ma
,ority under his guidance did business.
Popular speculation names Mr. webb
for the succession He is good man.
and has represented the ninth North
Carolina district since. and including. the
Fifty-eighth Congress. He IS Sound on
the goose" as democracy is now inter
preted. and in favor at the White House
an important consideration these days
when so much of the legislative Is
merged in the executive.
But what if the next House is repub-
lican? In that event Mr.. Clark will re-
turn to the ranks. and take his place on
the floor again. What will his party do
with him? Precedent and other considera-
lions would assign him to the minority
leadership. where he has already served.
He. however, is not in favor at the
White House. He is not under anything
resembling a BAN But the result at
Baltimore and Mr.. Clark's assertion of in
dependence in the matter of canal tolls
have given him a place outside the
White House crowd"
Still. there is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Clark as minority leader would re-
fuse to work with the White House in
matters Of party moment. He might not,
probably would not, take orders about
his duty He is a good deal of an indi-
,idual in his own right. and his long ex-
oerience as a national legislator has prop
.rly given him confidence in his own
Judgment But he believes in party. and
recognizes the importance of team
work"
Another thing is that a republican
House Will mean Mr.: Mann In the Speak
,rs chair-equal to,a mans job-and a
majority leader on the floor equal to
hat Job. This will make 1t necessary for
the democrats to utilize in their work
heir best material. Mr.. Clark, with his
debating power, his legislative experience
md his knowledge of parliamentary law,
.asily holds the first place on the demo-
cratic side of the congressional fence;
md to assign him below that would be
party folly.
The air Is full Of rumors. wireless
messages are descending and circulating
rom many quarters. Some are very per-
suasive. Some are.for purposes of mis-
thief only. Some are for entertainment
only. The field is wide and the laborers
numerous, and 'twixt now and Novem-
