Favors Ineems Tax. "It Is also quite likely that with tha support ot the original Bryan party wing and the aid of such Eastern con- servatlvcs as Alvan Clark, of New Jer sey, he will corns out boldly for a con stitutional amendment that will make an Income tax one of the certainties of the nixt half dossn years.
