Permanent Committee. New York, Nov. 8.?Democratic leaders propose to Introduce several political noveltiee now that they are assured of control of tbe Federal government for the next fouf years, according to authoritative reports here today. A feature proposed is tbe maintenance of tbe Democratic National Committee as a continuous working Institution. ' The Idea Is that the committee could serve a good purpoee in the education of the people In Democratic doctrines and principles'and In the enlightenment of the people aa to what the party Is doing. In this connection the establishment of "a government suggestion box" to which citlmna throughout the country might shbmlt their ideas on governmental affairs, has been suggested. . Tbe novelties are said to have been given eerious thought by Chairman Wm. F: McCombs. who ancceesfull? conducted the Wilson campaign and who has been already spoken of as likely to be proffered an Important post under the Wilson administration. From a source close to tbe chairman It was said, however, that he was so enthusiastic over the Democratic nronanaranria Mean that ho would like to carry them out If possible. even to the exclusion of any other positions. t Mr. McCombs was out of town this morning, having been to Princeton to congratulate Mr. Wilson.

EuOiiKl. Slates are still unreported definitely to give Democratic leaders uiucli liop? that full returns wdl show thel- forces in control of the upper branch of Congress. <;ONE TO URSEXVILLE. Mr. J.
