and-dried official proceedings of the
committee.
OF course nothing definite was said
In an official way by the committee
members as to the man on whom they
hang their preference In the matter
OF the Democratic nomination for the
presidency, but the general feeling
here seemed to be that more of the
committeeman favor the nomination of
Mr.. McAdoo than of any other candi-
date.
The committee declined to recon-
mend the abrogation of the rule which
requires n two-thirds vote In the Dem
ocratic national convention to give a
candidate the prize. Therefore there
is feeling in the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis who prefer some other man to
Mr.. McAdoo that IL he shall fail to
get the two-thirds majority necessary,
the nomination of so-ca1led dark
horse will be likely.
The friends of Oscar w. Underwood
who were In attendance at the COM
niittee meeting and who took station
In the corridors without the meeting
hall took renewed courage, II is said,
from evidences that some of the larger
northern states are very kindly dis
posed to the Underwood ambition. 1t
seems that the friends of the Alabama
senator believe he will get the votes
of New York and New England after
they have been given in the first ballot
or two for someone who goes into run
ming as favorite son.
Worried About Party Harmony.
The Republican party has Its almost
poignant anxieties over the matter of
harmony in the ranks, but the
pOigpancy of the Republican pains is
no sharper than that which afflicts the
Democratic body. Today, five months
In advance of the conventions, 1t
would appear that so far as concord
of endeavor Is concerned, there Is little
to choose between the two political
camps.
William Gibbs McAdoo, as the poll
ticians here seem to view it, has the
brightest present prospect Of conven-
tion preferment. AS to the matter of
the strength of Mr. Bryan's influence
in the party, 1t seems to be the opin-
Ion of the Democratic chieftains that
the three-times leader of their party,
while he is presumably for Mr. McAdoo
as second choice, Is not the prime
prospective aid for that gentleman's
campaign.
1t was gathered from what the Dem
ocratic leaders who were here attend
ing the convention said uponfthe mat
ter, that most of them believe the Nc
Adoo strength is to be found largely
in the ranks of those who once were
Mr.. Bryan's staunch adherents, but
who today are for the former secre-
tary of the treasury, not because of Mr..
Bryan, but because of Mr.. McAdoo. In
other words, McAdoo did not need the
Bryan influence to bring to him the
Bryan following.

TAX COMPROMISE

WITH RADICAL REPUBLICANS
GIVE HOPE TO PARTY.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

Washington. Notwithstanding the
fact that combination of Democrats
with minority of the Republicans In
the house of representatives managed
to force repeal of the rule which pre-
vented the offering of amendments to
revenue bills from the floor of the
house, Nicholas Longworth, the Re
publican leader, it is claimed, Is max
ing headway in en- attempt to bring
the progressive bloc of his party into
sympathy with the plan for compro-
missing the Mellon tax reduction fill
to such comparatively slight extent
that 1t will be assured of presidential
sanction.
1t Is only the truth to say that
good many of the regular Republicans
In the house seem to feel that, while
the progressives of the party have
gone too far In their denunclation Of
the treasury plan to ease up on men
of large incomes, there is some reason
in the position taken by the obJectors
to the Mellon scheme In Its original
form.
Mr.. Longworth not only run up
against wall of opposition In the pro-
gressive camp, but he found consider
able antagonism within the stockade
Of the loyal troops. 1t looks today as
If compromise would De effected, that
the taxes In the so-called higher brack-
cts will be reduced, that the earnerS OF
small salaries will be helped, and that
the Republican party possibly may put
through bill which will be sufficiently
like the one originally proposed to Sc
cure for it the endorsement of the peO-
pie generally. If Mr.. Longwortl
should succeed in doing this in the
house and the leaders in the senate
likewise shall succeed, the party hopes
to credit Itself with an accomplish
ment which the Democrats naturally
still are striving to make their own
by the aid of Republicans who have
been "off the reservation
Think People Like Mellon Plan.

OF American labor's activities, if men
