Republicans at Albany Agree
to Introduction Of
Walton Bill.
GOV. SMITH IS OPPOSED
Confirmation Of Miss Perkins
Likely Next Wednesday,
Leaders Say.
Special D,spdfch TO TBs suy.

ALBANY. Feb. Some Republicans in
the Legislature have agreed TO the intro
duction OF bill tomorrow by Senator
Charles w Walton Of Kingston, pro-
vidiug for the selection OF party candi-
dates for state office by party State con-
yentions instead OF by the present direct
primary system.
1t was evident tonight from Gov
Smiths comments on the proposed meas
ure that he will not sign 1t should 1t be
passed BY the Senate and Assembly
which Is considered improbable by some
OF the leaders. although they admit there
Is growing sentiment against the direct
nominations system.
Il should think the Legislature would
get busy on soma OF tho big problems
that affect all the people right now"
said Gov. Smith. INSTEAD OF talking
about legislation on which nothing can
happen for another year and a half.
Why don't they take up the taxation
question, minimum wage and health In
surance legislation and municipal own
ership. instead OF bothering now with a
State convention bill. This other legia-
lation Is OF more interest TO the people
than how We are going to nominate a
Governor next year.
The Walton bill will be similar to one
introduced last year providing for con-
vention choice OF party candidates, but
also providing for the nomination OF
other candidates by petition in case the
voters are dissatisfied with the conven-
ton choice, In which case the dispute
would be put before the voters OF the
party at a special primary.
Although the Senate Finance Com
mittee to-day postponed action for
another week on Gov. Smiths nomination
of Miss Frances Perkins for State In
dustrial Commissioner at $4,000 a year
Il is generally understood that the nomi-
nation OF Miss Perkins will bs reported
next week by the committee and that
she will he confirmed by the Senate on
next Wednesday. Even should the Re
publican leaders decide to oppose Miss
Perkins Il is stated that enough Repuh-
Leans will vote with the Democrats 10

ALBANY, Feb. 4.-Democratio leaders
of the Legislature tonight planned TO
force Republicans out into the open In
their opposition to making an appropria-
ton for Gov. Smiths Reconstruction
Commission. When Gov. Smith named
his commission he sent the names to
the Legislature. along with a message
detailing the duties he believed the
commission should take up. ana asking
an appropriation OF $4,000 for 1t.
Republicans decided to fight tho ap-
preparation when the Foley-Donohue
bill providing It came UP In the AS
sembly to-day for passage. They were
all ready to claim that an appropria-
ton of State moneys for an unofiicial
commission was unconstitutional, but
to-day had the bill put over until to-
morrow without discussing. 1T In the
meantime an agreement was made 10
reduce the appropriation TO 100000.
Gov. Smith was stirred when he heard
OF the opposition to this Appropriation
bill. but said:
1T Is for the Legislature !tself TO
determine whether It will appropriate
$4,000 to help this RecOnStruCtlon Soni-
mission in It's work OF solving the after
the war problems. while 1t was willing
to spend 100000 under the State De-
fence Council.
"The Legislature provided for State
Defence Council. although It did not
have the power TO name or confirm iti
members" said Gov. Smith, ~and 1t pro-
vided $4,000 for its work Tho same
thing happened in regard to ths State
Food Commission. which also was given
81, 900. 900 to work with.
TT Is just as important TO put your
house in order after the war as 1t was
to support the war"
Later in the day the Democrats de-
cided to take the wind out Of the sails
Of Republican opponents OF the appro'
priation by amending the bill so as &c
provide officially for the appointment OF
the reconstruction commission already
named.
The Democrats believe that in this wa!
thew will force Republicans TO either
pass the appropriation, or base their op
position openly on the reconstruction
commission and charge that it is politi
cal body.
Gov Smith, however. said to-n'gh
there was no politics in the makeup o.
the commission. which he said he nance

STUFF AMENDMENT
URGED BY BRYAN
Blame for Failure Laid to
Southern Democrats in
NpbraSkan's Plea.
specia, De,potch 10 TAG suN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. i.-Willism j
Bryan, many times aspirant for the
Presidency, once Secretary of State and
the sworn enemy OF rum, appeared here
in another role to-day. He became an
active lobbyist for woman suffrage.
Mr.. Bryan put tho blame for the
failure of the suffrage amendment ON
the Southern Democrats. In the lobby
Of the Senate he called a number OF
them on the carpet before him and I'M
plored them to vote for the suffrage
amendment when 1t comes before the
Senate on Monday next. Mr.. Bryan put
his plea largely on the ground OF politi-
cal expediency instead OF making loftier
appeal. His hsrangue to Senator Smith
(Ga), the frst recalcitrant summoned
TO his presence. was in substance what
he told other Democratic Senators from
the same section. Said Mr.. Bryan:
woman suffrage is coming to the
country and the world. 1t will be sub
mtted by the next Congress TO the states
as soon as il meets. X 1t Is not submit
ted by the present Congress. I hope tho
Democrats Of the South will not handi-
cap the Democrats OF the North by COM
polling them to spend the next twenty
five years explaining to the women OF
the country why the Democratic party
prevented the submission Of the suffrage
amendment to the States.
This Is our laet chance TO play an
important part in bringing about this
important reform, and It is q matter OF
vital political concern that the Demo-
Gratis OF the northern Mississippi Valley
be not burdencd by the charge that our
party prevented the passage of tho suf-
frage amendment Especially when 1t is
now known that It Is coming in spite OF.
IL not with, the aid of the Democratic
party"
