A cont + e proposed revision, of the caucus rule, that of electing state central committes men, and ‘one pertaining to the holding of conventions was mailed out to com- mittee men today. The proposed change in the uni- form caucus rule to make it read that can be held on “one of three successive days” instead of holding all caucuses on one day. At the committee meeting last week, the matter of changes came up and on motion of Col. MacDonald, it was voted to have the proposed changes tod. ‘When a vote was taken on the sen_ timent as to a change in the rule, 26 voted that a change ought to be made and seven voted the other way. Some of those who spoke at the meeting are understood to have said that the new form caucus worked well, but it deprived some of those in contests in other than their own towns from taking part. Those opposing any change claimed that the caucus rule was intended to allow local contest- ants to settle their differences with- out outside assistance. In_ case the committee tomorrow should vote in favor of the changes suggested in the pamphlet it is sald that the fight against a change In the caucus rule will be carried by the minority into the convention. In this case, a lively discussion is antici- ated as the passage of the uniform caucus rule two years ago by the con- vention brought on a discussion in which Col. I. M. Ulman took the plat- form in advocacy of the rule and it was carried by a close vote.

With three days in which to interview progressives from almost every part of Michigan, he made a close study of the situation. His state- ment today predicting success in Mich- igan was' the first he had made about any state except his own. Gov. Jonnson made two speeches here, and one at Port Huron. The first Detroft meeting was at an auto- mobile plant, where several thousand men listened while he spoke from an automobile in a street during bhalf of their lunch hour.

He said little of ‘the republican party, on the ground, he said, that he “never discussed dead folks.” Colone! Roosevelt gave most of the ‘afternoon to the women of Spokane. A meeting exclusively for women was held in the Auditorium, and another meeting. The colonel said he had not been in- duced to take up the cause of woman suffrage by women who devoied their time to advocating it, but what he had learned from women he had consulted in regard to other matters. He seid that women such as Jane Addams of Chicago, who he had con- sulted on social and economic condi- tlons among the workers of their sex were virtually all in favor of woman suffrage because they believed it would assist working women to improve their conditions. Another condition in inducing him to accept this point of view, he said, was the influence in be- half ‘of good government which wom- en had exercised through the ballot in ‘western states, « ON TARIFF. Declares It to Be “Colossal System of Deliberate Patronage.” WILSO New York, Sept. 9.—Governor Wood- row Wilson worked from early morn- ing until late tonight mapping out campaign plans at democratic nation- al headquarters and appealing to the voters of New York city in three speeches. Over a big map the democratic can- didate discussed with the executlve officers of the campaign s; eaking tours of debatable states. Then he motored away to Union square and analyzed before two big crowds tarlff sched- ules, statistics and the principles of protective policies. In the later after- noon_the nominee went to_the bedsl of National Chafrman William F. -Coombs at Flushing, L. . The gov- nor £aid Mr. McCoombs was recov- ering slowly, but probably would be back in the campaign within three weeks. At the New York Press club tonight the governor delivered his principal address of the day. He was enthusi- astically applauded as he analyzed the three political parties. Discussing the tariff, the governor said: “The trouble with the tariff has been that it is one of the most colossai systems of delfherate patronage that has ever been conceived, and the maiz trouble is that protection stops where patronage begins.” The governor, in turning to his own candidacy, remarked that he could say “without personal refereice that whether by ‘accident or however elss it might be explained the democratic candidate is not attached to any in- terest whatever; the alchemy that ac- complished this was practiced at Bal timore.” ROOSEVELT'S LETTER.

Today. we received two cablegrams from our government stating that the death certificates of Mrs. Menscik were being forwarded.
