ASSERTS BAYAN
o.k DPLANK N
PANAMA TOLLS
WASHINGTON, M‘K 18.—8enator
Walsh, of Montana, who wa® secre
tary of the Baltimore convention
platform committee, made a speech
against the repeal of the tolls clause
of the Panama ("anal bill in the Sen
ate to-day that will remain as a mas
terpiece in this discuseion. Among
other things he told the inside his
tory of the adoption of the plank and
stated that not only was that plank
personally approved by Mr. Bryan,
but that, at his suggestion, it was
amended to make it stronger. Here
is the story as told in the Senator's
words:
“My relationshir ‘o the Baltimore
platform is too intimute to permit me
with an easy consclence to escape
the fetters it places upon my official
action, even though 1 did not concur
altogether in any particular policy it
announces, It says: ‘We favor the
exemption from to!l of American
ships engaged in coastwize (rade
passing through the canal’ And
again, ‘Our pledges are made to be
kept when in office as well as relied
upon during the campaign.’
Platform Committee Named.
“It has been intimated, rather than
charged that the appearance of the
plank in the platform was surrepti
tious. The platform commitiee was
constituted as usual of one member
from each State designated by the
delegation. After listening to those
who desired to be heard, a committee
of eleven was, on moticn, appointed
by the chair to draft a platfcrm.
“The committee proceeded to the
work assigned to it and in a general
way determined upon the propositions
which were to find a place in the
draft to be submitted. For the pur
pose of expedition the work of put
ting into a?proprlate language the
ideas to which general acquiescence
had been given was reposed in Mr.
Bryan and Mr. O'Gorman, a delegate
from New York. who were author
fzed to call to their aid such members
of the committee as they chose. They
requested Senator Pomergne and my
self to remain with them.
How Report Was Read.
“The draft prepared or assembled
by this committee of the subcommit
tee, being transcribed under my own
personal supervision, was read to the
subcommittee and by it reported to
the entire committee before which It
wuxfln read and, being by it ap
prov was presented to and adopted
by the convention without change.
“When the plank referring to canal
tolls was presented Mr, Bryan ex
pressed his approvai, but said It
ghould be accompanied by amother
plank declaring against the admission
of railroad-owned ships to the canal
And so the platform reads afler the
declaration concerning tolls:
“"We also'—note the ‘also’-—'favot
legislation forbidding the use of the
Panama Canal by ships owned by or
controlled by rallroad carriers en
gaged in transportation competitive
with the canal.'”

%] Sacrifice Myself Because
| Love Her.”
" NEW YORK, May 16.—“ Just say I
wish both of them all the happiness

half with his mother.

woman I love is happy.”

1906, Korn became estranged from his
relatives, and i said to have been de
prived of a $1,000,000 interest in his
father's estate as a result of the mar

“There is not the slightest founda
tion for any such report, lam a good

and 1 have known him for many
years."
