It will then be submitted to the resolution

A rough d/aft of the platform sub- ,
rait ted today, by the sub-committee

William Jennings Bryan aided by a
majority of the sub-COmtoJttfte dictated
the framing of the platform.
The committee on resolutions will
peruse it today and the final draft
will he submitted to the convention
tomorrow. Tammany and four or
five other conservatives on the committee
had their suggestions Ignored
by the sub-committee.
Owe Term For P^vrideit.
The platform has drafted declares
for a tariff for revenue only." Limits
the president to ode term in office
of six years beginning in 1917.
This is a shot at Colonel Roosevelt.
The platform condemns the Aldrichj
money bill, adverts to primary elections
and the direct election of '
United 8tatee senators by the people.
Limits conservation of public resour- I
ces; declares for the development <
of Alaska and adverts to the lnde. i

Bryan Conceals Plana.
Whatever William J. Bryan's plana
may be for the building of the party
platform what planks It may contain,
or whether it will be progressive
or conservative in tone {he Ne.
braskan is keeping carefully concealed
from his friends.
Mr. Bryant had no statements to
make yesterday regarding either the
platform or Judge Parker's appeal to
the delegates to make Mr. Bryan
chairman of the resolutions committee.-^>
Returning to hTs' hotel from'a visit
to Mayor Preston the Nebraakan
spent the early morning hours In
correspondence and then went to the
convention hall to attend the meeting
of the resolutions committee.
"The delegates are saying below
stairs that you will write the party
platform," was suggested.
Bat a progressive platform would
be a.rebake to the convention, would
It not?" was Mr. Bryan's rejoinder.
Here n newspaper man pressed
close to Mr. Bryan in most confidential
appeal for Information on the
platform, said:
"Mr Bryan, X bar# not seen Mr.
Bryan. But you can tell me what Mr.
Bryan believes ths platform will contain?"

Third Party (ioMlp
Both the Bryan and anti-Bryan
factions in the convention were to*
tereeted in "third party" gossip
which la prevalent. The advent of
Francis J. Heney, of California, who
fought for Mr. Roosevelt In the Re.
.publican National Convention, and
Chas. R. Crane, of Chicago, who helped
to condiict the early La Follette
campaign and their reported Inter
view with Mr. Bryan gave an Impetus
to the dlacnsaion.
It was reported that Senator La
Follette either was already in Baltimore
or on his way here to get in
touch with the possibilities of the
Democratic situation. No one had
been able to locate Mr. La Follette.
Heney said he has come to Baltlmre
to see the Democratic "steam
roller'' at work; that he had become
eo accustomed to the 'hoot, toot"
at the Chicago convention he could
not sleep without it.
All Candidates Optimistic
At the headquarters of the various
presidential candidates, ncr compromise
talk Is heard. Optimism is
heard everywhere. Each candidate
is referred to by his adherents as
"our neat president." The Clark
forces are unusually confident and
freely predict the Speaker's nomlna.
