Bryan’s Last Charge
Still the battle of ballots at Madi-
“an Square Gard wages. '
William Jenni‘fy Bryan. scarred
war horse of ni political cam-
paigns. took the platform yesterday
‘ Jud declared himself for William
‘ .Gibbs McAdoo.
‘ He contented himself with naming
some he considered fit for the presii
" _' dency. At the top of the top of
"‘ .. the list he placed McAdoo.
' From the flopr a. New Jersey de-
' legato shouted:
“You have
stated that Senator
tigatgrs. ~ Bear in mind that he dis-
cl that McAdoo has accepted re—
, tainers; from oil."
A short time later the Convention
" . recessed. .
Perhaps it was Just as well that
Bryan was not forced to refute that
charge. He cannot refute it. the
McAdoo adherents cannot refute it.
.the Convention cannot refute it. It
g will stick to. McAdoo Just as long
. as he remains in the public eye.
Senator James 3‘“ Reed from a
‘ sick bed ln'Kansas City made the
statempnt that he would be greatly
‘ surpriied if the Convention should
‘ nominate as a candidate for Presl-
-. fuent a man whom Republican lead-
‘ " era. in all probability. are _eagerly
' waiting the opportunity to indict for
j violating the Federal statute, which
forbids Federal employees and of-
ficers appearing before departments
within two years after their em-
ployment to touch any matter or
claim pending during the time of
their employment.
He expressed the belief that if
McAdoo were nominated the Demo-
crats would very likely be compelled
to conduct their campaign in some
1. Federal court room. defending their
3* candidate against; a serious criminal
; charge. .
The specifre charge made by Sen-
ator Reed was that McAdoo had ap-
peared on behalf of the Republican
Iron and Steel W'orks before a de-
partment of the Government in a
tax controversy within two years
after his connection with the very
, department, in absolute violation of
the Federal statutes.
No matter now Well the Common-
er may battle, ' matter how vali-
ant may be theirivings of the Mc-
. Adoo cohorts. the result is known:
,’ their candidate cannot be nomin-
‘ ated.
But should the Convention fly in
the face of all warnings and name
' him. it will spell the disruption of a
national party and the throwing of
thousands of plain peoples‘.votes to
a leader, unafraid to denounce reli-
gious intolerance and corruption is

HAPPINESS AND THE FUTURE
A WOMAN who wrote under the
mannlsh nom de plume of George

single page out of our life. but we
can throw the whole book upon the
fire."
She believed that happiness lies in
the consciousness we ham of it, and
keeps its promise.

"THE MORE I THINK of it." she
wrote, "the more I see it is too late
to dare to be unhappy.
“We o no longer look at life

us, we have believed in. it has exist-

"Senator La Follette of “‘iscon-

regmie. have as their ijective the
nationalization of all forms of pri-

a recent open letter to the American
Railway Association members.
Cole denounces efforts on the
part of national legislators “appar-
ently aimed at the utter destruc~

sinister socialistic motives behind
such action.
Senator Ls. Follette is accused of
attempting by legislation to pass the
railroads of .the country through
the 'fLa Follefte wringer," squeeze-

forcing the railways into Govern-
ment ownership. “with all of its
