"But I am not going to appoint anybody or select any place until I con, fer with Gov. Wilson," he added. Joseph. E.

Mr. McConibs' selection and the j plan to appoint a campaign commit- J tee of nine, the majority of whom are i to be members of the national commit-! tee, with Mr. McCombs chairman of the subcommittee, were ordered on resolution by Committeeman Robert I S. Hudspeth, of New Jersey, as repre senting the wishes of Gov. Wilson. In presenting Mr. McCombs' name Mr. Hudspeth said: "His intelligent and sagacious hand- ! ling of Mr. Wilson's campaign in the last year and a half has demonstrated his wonderful fitness for leadership and shown him to be amply equipped to carry the Democratic party to victory." The vote for the selection was un animous, and Norman E. Mack, the retiring chairman, yielded the gavel to Mr. McCombs. "I can not hope to achieve success unless I have the entire support of this. committee, which I -believe I have," said Mr. McCombs. "I urge ail ot you during this campaign to consult with me freely." Committeeman Walter J. Costello of the District of Columbia, read a letter which, he said, he received from Speaker Clark just before leaving Washington. The letter said: Clark's Good Wishes. "As you are a'DOut to start to meet your fellow committeemen at Chicago, I write this note to wish you a pleasr* A o ^ o rotnrn T cLiil. JUUIUCJ aiiu a, gaiu ivimu.

The committee ordered a teleg>am of thanks to be sent to Speaker Clark. Mr, Mack brought up the question, of raising campaign funds. He urged * -> A/^Ant +-V* /v TVrtHnV i-if O -tile i-UCLUUCl 2> ID auvpi, mc ui u. popular subscription, to be procured by appeals through newspapers. On invitation of Committteeman Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, the committee decided to leave at 11.30 o'clock tonight for Indianapolis to meet Gov. Marshall tomorrow. Chairman Mc Combs said he would be unable to go. The following resolution, offered by Senator Thomas P. Gore, who sat in the committee on proxy, was adopted unanimously. Rejoice in Prospects. "Be it resolved by the National Democratic committee, That we con gratulate ^the country and the Democrats on the exceptional prospects of Democratic success in November next. We rejoice that all Democrats everywhere are united and enthusiastic in support of the platform and nominee of the party. We earnestly invite all voters without reference to previous political faith or affiliation who are in sympathy with such platforms and nominees to unite permanently or cooperate temporarily with the Democratic party in this supreme struggle ior the establishment of 'justice and right as against favoritism and privilege. "Resolved, That we gratefully acknowledge our profound appreciation of the courageous, disinterested and patriotic course of many Republicans and independents, including a number of the most distinguished leaders and editors, in declaring their intention to support the Democrats in the pending presidential contest." The committee concluded its work in less than two hours and was about (campaign as indicated by the action [ o: the Democratic national commititer, is a plan of his own, conceived since his nomination and molded into j concrete form with the advice of his j | closest political friends. I "It is simply something that I thought out myself since I was nomi| nated," he said tonight. "It was workjed out after consultation with as j many advisers as I could reach." j Chief among the counsel were Wil- j liam F. Mcuomos, trie new nauonai chairman; Senator Gore and Representative Burleson, William B. McAdoo and Robert S. Hudspeth and Josephus Daniels, national commitfvoxtr Totspv and North iivui wv ? Carolina. The governor today made appointments to meet Lieut Gov. Conway, of New York, and Representative Oscar W. Underwood, Democratic leader of the house, at Trenton tomorrow. Gov. Wilson will lunch with Mr. Underwood. He also may j meet Perry Belmont as the latter wrote recently requesting an interview, and the governor told him he would be in Trenton tomorrow. Satisfaction to Him. "It is entirely satisfactory to me ( | that they have met with my suggesj tions in this matter," the governor I said tonight in discussing the action of the national committee at Chicago today. As to the subcommittee which will direct me campaign, tne govciuui j said: "It will be a real managing committee and will provide for the ex- ; pansion and the elaboration of the j campaign management. This elabor- | Ration will be done, of course, in consultation with myself. Link for Campaigns. "The appointment of the committee will not be made until Mr. Me I Combs snail nave consulted wiin me. . !It will be a committee that can meet j on fairly short notice and at frequent j intervals and with which I can keep j j in. touch.

When it was first proposed to reopen the Lorimer case upon the plea ! - & ? 1 ? *-*1 j oi newiy uisuuvcicu c>iuciitc, ar , i though I was not in the senate at the time, I favored the idea, desiring the fullest expose of the corruption, if any existed. But the more I think about it the more convinced I am that each succeeding senate ought not to to adjourn subject to the call of the chairman when at the suggestion of many members a recess was taken until 5 o'clock, when the plans for raising campaign funds again were discussed. Campaign Plans Governor's Own. Sea Girt, N. J., July 15.?Gov. Wilson's idea of running a presidential have the power to exercise tne ngnt to ! reopen cases that have already, been tried by their predecessors. Ther% ought to be some time when a case will be settled once for all. I have changed my mind and come to believe that the constitution ought to be interpreted to mean that the senate to which a man is elected "shall be the [ judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members." Otherwise a man's title to his seat here will always be in jeopardy, and if it is worth while senators may be driven by public clamor and newspapers to persecute rather than prosecute a senator. The changing currents in our political life are sometimes so rapid and violent that there is danger in giving way to them, and I say this believing religiously in the right of the people to govern themselves, and having faith that ultimately they will right all wrongs of which we now complain. That there is corruption at Springfield, I have no doubt whatever. That there is coriuption at Chicago, I have no doubt whatever, rso large cuy nas | ever escaped the "boodlers" that nat-! urally spring up where millions of men are assembled together and the strong are led to prey upon the weak, and in any State where there is a large city under our scheme of govrnant f Vl ord m Q V Hp PVTX^P.tftd COT" C 1 111V/ 11 Vy V & v v w w . . _ _ _ rupt politics. The only exception, if it be an exception, is in Massachusetts.

Ponncvlvflnia r-JJliclUCipuia uwo \jil j. ^ , I and I attribute New England's exemption from corruption in politics to the large size of the State legislature. It is much easier by use of money or other corrupt instrumentalities to debauch a small legislature than a large one; and then, too, our "Yankee",. n-Viii/i thav always seem will- ! Iiitru.ua, ?? uiro ......?? ing and anxious, under the forms of the law, to put their hands in other men's pockets, are always very careful to guard their own. The corporations in New England, I have sometimes thought, controlled the legislatures enough to send their attorneys here, but in my 18 years of service I do not believe there has ever, in my * - ?v?svrv-t Matt time, Deen a seiicn-ui nvm uu0 land, who was corrupt. I know that my vote in this case before has given great umbrage to a large number of my constituents in South Carolina, because the newspapers there have a fellow feeling for the great Chicago dailies, and have howled about Lorimer's corruption until they believe him to be corrupt, ? ^ nannia L*nAwin? nothinsr aboui.
