day by th Hew York reimbtlojlit state
convention.
The." republican national, executive com
mltteo, which last, summer agreed to call
the entire national, conJmlttee "within
sixty days after theadjournment of con
gress," Is now being urged to take im
mediate action. ' Letters sent to Chair
man Charles D, Hllies last week 6y Sen
ators Cummins and Jones, representlng
tho "conciliation cbmmltteo," strongly
urged Mr. Hlllcs to CanVass the execu
tive committee and tako further steps
to secure an early decision aa to whether
a convention would be called, If such
a meeting' is held, it' Is planned to have
it early next spring, so that its deci
sions may become effective before the
congressional campaign.
The specific demands, of those who
want the party procedure changed, ac
cording to those chiefly interested In the
movement , here, are clearly embraced in
the resolutions of New York convention,
namely, to allow states to determine the
method of selecting their delegates to
national' conventions and to base the rep-1
resentation tn. conventions on the number
of votes cast for the party candidates at
previous elections.
Principles Endorsed ty Kan.
Those principles ha'vo been' endorsed,
not only by the' progressive republican
forces and by many progressives, but
by Senators Root, Lodge and others,
who htivo' been active figures in the man
agement of recent republican national
conventions.
"I am very much gratified at tbe action
of the New Y6rk convention," said Sen
ator Jones today. "It ought to have a
good effect in building up the sentiment
tn favor of changes In the party pro
cedure. It is a striking evidence of tho
fact that the mass of voters in the re
publican party want things put In shape.
Actions ot that kind will accelerate the
movement back to the republican party,"
Twenty Issues in
- tbe Tariff Bill Are
StilMInsettled
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, Twenty
sharply contested Issues In the tariff
bill remained to be settled when the
house and .senate conferees reassembled
thtsi morning for what many bellevod
would .be the concluding day of their
work.
The policy of the administration to
ward foreign countries involving the
proposed retaliatory provisions of the
tariff, the 6 per cent discount on goods
brought In American ships and the pro
hibition against goods mad by child
labor and other similar features, were
tUl to be settled.
The conferees were also prepared for
a final decision of the perplexing cottco
futures tax question involving the Clark
amendment, proposing a tax of 60 cents
per bale on all trades In cotton futures,
where actual delivery was not made. As
a compromise, southern senator and rep
resentatives supported by the Agricul
tural department and Postmaster General
Burleson, have proposed a compromUe,
reducing the tax to fi cents per bale, when,
tho. contracts specified government, cot
ton grades and those grades were de
