The resolution is a direct outgrowth of the nomination of Justice Hughes by the republican convention, but it is intended to be so broad that even district federal judges would be bar red from other offices. M'CombV resolution as at present drafted reads: 'A constitutional amendment should be adopted by congress to pro vidn for making eur federal Judges in- eligibb) for any other offico under the federal government, in order to pre serve tho integrity of the judiciary." McCombs explained that his propo sition ran have no bearing on the nomination of Justice Hughes, since tho 1U10 eleetion will bo long . passed before national action can be taken in the matter. If congress votes to sub mit tiie constitutional amendment, it will be a matter of two years probably iM'fore the states can act on it. McCombs and Senator Stone dis cussed platform pomlbilities until late Inst night. It was denied that Stone had brought any draft of a platform with him, but it became clear that he had brought a very definite outline of the form it should take in order to please President Wilson. Among tho tentative planks is one on the subject of one term for president. for Justice Hughes, and said he expect ed the progressives in the northern and central states to follow suit. "I think the hour is too important for any man to worry about the name of the party he's going to belong to," said Alien. "It Lolonel Koosevelt ac cepts the Bplendid statement of Mr. Hughes as meeting the conditions he laid down to the progressives, a major ity of the progressives in the northern and central states will support Hughes. As far as I am personally concerned, if Colonel Roosevelt declines the pro gressive nomination, I will support nugnes ratner than follow some weakor leader in the progressive party." Allen said he believed Colonel Roofe vclt would take an active part in the Hughes campaign. Tho thing for the progressives to do now, ho said, is to nominate Hughes as their presidential caudidatc with Park-' or for vice-president. This would keep the party alive and would give many progressives who did not wish to go back to the republican party and who not intend to affiliate with the demo cratic party a place to light. Other progressives believe Victor Murdock may be nominated as the pro gressive candidate when Roosevelt of ficially declines to run. . MINIMUM WAGE LAW Washington, June 12.
