MAY COMPROMISE OX AITONOMY
Convention Likely to Grant Mild
Form of Self-Government.
Chances for a compromise In the fight for
state autonomy appeared good Thursday
morning. Memberr of the committee on
judiciary are saii to have evolved a plan
which It la hop'-d will be satisfactory to all
except the .n'jet radical. Tbe details of the
plan have not been given out and probably
will be guarded until the report is pre
sented Friday morning. It Is said to give
slightly larger powers to ths state aeries,
but does not accord them the Influence the
advocates of stats autonomy have been
fist-ting for.
The trouble with state autonomy," said
one strong opponent to the plan, "is that
Is gives play for too much politics In tbe
state aerie. In states where there are two
or three large cities those cities by corn
lining can control the stste conventions.
This lk bad for the order, as It is apt to
engender hard fellings In the state aeries."
Advocates of the plan on the other hand
favor It because It gives ths state local
self government and enables ths state
aeries to handle questions of local interest
o an extend denied them under the present
plan of organisation.
