It has not been determined what method the conference will adopt to get its views before the people. There is some talk of preparing an address in which cardinal principles of those at tending the conference on finance, transportation, labor and law will be fully s»et forth. Again, it is urged that the proper way would be to Adopt a Platform and take such action as will settle in the affirmative ttie question of cutting adrift from the old parties and nomin ating candidates for the presidency and vice presidency in ISO'2. The afternoon was devoted chietiy to conferences of the various state delegates, they being, for the most part, harmonious in their de liberations.

There was a full attendance of the members of the committee, and the first question to come up was as to whether Erwin, the attorney representing the grain growers' association should have power and au thority to summon and examine wit nesses.
