I so HAS 114 CAMPAIGN PLANS Hope Is to Have National and Congressional Democratic ' Committees Harmonize. TO AVOID CLASHES IS AIM President Reqnests Tiiat Reorgan ization Session Bo Postponed Un til He Confers With Leaders. To Weld Forces His Idea. WASHINGTON, April 30. President Wilson, according- to Democratic House leaders, has proposed a co-operative plan for conducting the Congressional campaign of 1914 so as to have the National and Congressional Democratic committees work together. Development of the plan. It was said today, was the main reason for the postponing last night the scheduled meeting of the Democratic Congres sional committee, of which Representa tive Lloyd, of Missouri, is tho retiring chairman. A new chairman is to be se selected and he Is expected to be Rep resentative Johnson, of Kentucky. Rep resentative Flnlay, of South Carolina, who was a candidate, has withdrawn. The committee will meet soon for re organization. Clashes to Be Avoided. President Wilson asked that the com mittee election and reorganization be postponed until he had an opportunity to confer with its members and the leaders in the National committee, among them Chairman McComfs. The President's idea Is understood to he to bring about a welding of the forces of both committees so that each will have a definite line of work to carry out from now until the Congres sional elections, and that there may be no opportunity for clashes of authority or misunderstandings such aa have oc curred In former years. His purpose is understood to be to have the leaders of the party in the National and Congressional committees get together and parcel out the work of the campaign, as was done In the last National campaign. Heretofore the work of one has doubled on the other and in some Instances resulted in fric tion. Pre-rlooa Plan to Be Followed. "We want to enter the coming Con gressional campaign with a united force." said Chairman Lloyd today. "President Wilson, when he heard that our committee planned to reorganize last night, simply sent a request that the meeting be postponed until he could confer with its members and leaders of the National committees. "I think the President has some plans which will be similar to that worked out in the National campaign. At that time I told Mr. Wilson there had been some trouble between the two commit tees and that definite lines of work for each should be laid down. That was done, Mr. Wilson having considerable to do with the plan that was adopted." Members of tbe Congressional com mittee expect to hear from the Presi dent within a few days, after which the reorganisation meeting wil be held. CORRECTION IS REQUESTED Speaker at Woman's Meeting Says She Is Misquoted In Report. PORTLAND, April 80. To the Edi tor.) In this morning's report of the Thursday meeting of the Women's Po litical Science Club I am quoted as ad vising women to vote "No" on the com mission charter question, which Is an erroneous statement, both as to ques tion propounded to me and my answer to the same. The question I was requested to an swer was simply this: "When In doubt, should we vote "No' or refrain from voting? Simply that and nothing more, making no mention of charter or any other specific issue. I replied "When In doubt, vote 'No,' as to refrain from voting increases the proportionate vote on the affirmative side." On further reflection I would advise any one In doubt as to a proposed measure to study the question until some conclusion is arrived at, and not fall back upon ' the lazy method of shirking a citizen's duty. I believe the commission form of government is a step forward and that while the pro posed charter may not be perfect, yet it is a move in the direction of prog ress. No defender of our present plan has yet been found, noth withstanding all the discussion of the past months, and why adhere to It? I am In favor of commission form of government and as a means towards securing it shall vote for the proposed charter and advise other women to do the same. .ELIZABETH EGGERT.
