Bryan to Seek
Nomination by
A 'Freeze-Out'
Brother Charles Reported
Busy With Propaganda
That Aims to Put McAdoo
and Palmer Out of Race
Against Any Bary.rli Man
Friends Predict a Coup by
Commoner Equal to That
Which Made Wilson Choice
Will ?am J. Bryan, if hie New York
ienda have the right "hunch," is
banning a "come back" at the next
Democratic National Convention no
ess sensational than his battle with
regulars in 1912, when he fought
Judge Parker and brought about the
nomination of President Wilson.
Mr. Bryan, after diagnosing the ait
nation, has found that the Democratic
ituation is desperate; that the party
is facing political bankruptcy, and that
almost any "bi?:" man can have the
r.ominntion for President in case Presi
dent Wilson draws out of the race.
Charles W. Bryan, brother of the
hree-time candidate for President, and |
? !>:an who really did most of the |
eadwdrk in the campaigns when hisl
cother was running, already is busy!
with propaganda against both former i
Secretary McAdoo and Attorney General |
Palmer, on the score that they are?
ruminated by Wall Street and that the
nomination of either would turn the
Democratic party over to the "inter
its."
Mr. Bryan's Tactic?
In order to encompass the defeat of
the two leading candidates, the friends
of Mr. Bryan in New York say that
Mr. Bryan in the next Democratic Na?
tional Convention will put through, or
try to, at leas', a resolution against
nominating a candidate sponsored by
Bernard Baruch, Francis P. Garvan or?
cholas T. Brady. A resolution of
th 3 character would mean, if adopted, j
dropping of Mr. McAdoo and At
? r.? y Genera] Palmer, and leave the !
convention open to the selection of j
m one like .lames W. Gerard or
\ ce President Marshall.
But the plans of Mr. Bryan and his!
rgetic brother go a bit further than
if reports are to be believed, j
comprehend the encouragement i
r>r : o many different candidate? that
the convention will get tired of the job ?
! picking from among the second- I
; ?i-., and turn to Colonel Bryan him-'
? '
ColonelBryan's friends say that he i
lias i gured it out that it' the peace !
atj still is unratified at the time
? the national conventions next sum
mer President Wilson wil 1 be renomi- !
nated, despite the third-term handicap1
nd 'ho impaired condition of his
health. In which case Vico-President
M irshall als? will be renominated.

and Palmer, and mixing things up so
that the convention will turn to him
or to some one he will name.
If Bryan should swing the nomina?
tion to Gerard, it is understood Mr.
Gerard would have the Hearst support
and that the Hearst papers would try
to bring about a union of nil the radi?
cals in the interest of the former Am?
bassador to Germany.
1 It is understood that the intimacy
between the President and Mr. Baruch
has annoyed Mr. Bryan as he has not
been annoyed in years, und that "The
Commoner,,' Mr. Bryan's newspaper,
soon will begin warning the people
against the iniluence of the plutocrats
with the Wilson Administration.
The friends of Mr. Bryan profess to
have enough "against" Mr. McAdoo to
prevent his winning in the convention.
In this connection they tell the follow?
ing story:
"Mr. McAdoo, prior to the Inst visit
of the President to Paris, assured prom?
inent Irishmen working for an Irish
republic that he would .himself go to
Paris and represent their cause before
the Versailles conference, at the same
time bringing about the support of the
cause by his father-in-law. the Presi?
dent. This plan, it is said, was fully
agreed upon, and the Irish republic
leaders had the highest expectations of
success.
Then came th? speech by President
Wilson at the Metropolitan Opera
House, and his refusal to see Justice
Daniel F. Cohalan and ex-Justice John
W. Goff, who went to the Pennsylvania
Hotel to meet the President, and later
went to the opera house to see him.
That upset the political upple cart,
and the Irish republic advocates there?
upon dismissed the idea of having
Secretary McAdoo have anything to do
with it. They soon sent ex-Governor
Edward F. Dunne, Michael J. Ryan and
Frank P. Walsh on the mission to
France and Ireland, and concident with
this 'there began a systematic propa?
ganda against the Wilson Administra?
tion by the so-called "Friends of Irish
Freedom" from one end of the country
to the other.
The hostile propaganda followed the i
President lust September all the way to
the Pacific Coast and back. It took
the form of full-page adertisements in
newspapers on each day that President
Wilson was schedu'ed to address a
mass meeting in the interest of ratifica?
tion of the treaty.

Policeman Backs Away
As Pershing Speeds On
General Visits Fort Sheridan '
Hospital and Addresses Chi?
cago War Mothers
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.?General Per-1
shing inspected Fort Sheridan Hospital
to-day, and to-night he addressed 6,000
war mothers at the Auditorium and
decorated more than a dozen officers .
and men with the Distinguished Ser?
vice Medal.
The general's second and last day a^ '
Chicago's guesl was a busy one. Be?
tween the hospital inspection and mass
meeting the general found time to !
make several calls while motoring1
about the city and suburbs. Once he
seemed in imminent danger of arrest
or speeding. ?\ suburban policeman :
discovering the identity of the master
of the car, apologetically backed away.
The general to-day presenten the
Distinguished Service Medal to Edward
N. Hurley, formerly chairman of thr-;
United States Shipping Board. The
citation stated that Mr. Hurley had
"rendered service to the entire world."
The 2,400 wounded and sick quai -
tered at Fort Sheridan -some in beds,
some in wheel chairs and others on
crutches- were inspected by the Ken-;
eral. After visiting those confined to
their beds he addressed several hun?
dred convalescents.
In his talk at the gymnasium, he de-!
clared himself in favor of a system e,f
vocational training ''or wounded men
under which they would not be made
mere pensioners.
The general and his staff left late
to-night for ?St. Louts, where the party
will disband to-morrow until after the
holidays. '1 lie general's sister ai rl
Warren Pershing, his young son, will
join the commander in St. Lour and
go with him Tuesday t<? Laclede, Mo..

guest at. a homecoming celebration.
Captain Frank Pershing, the general's
nephew, will accompany the party.

Glynn Pledges
Party Support
For Legislation
Republicans Ready to Act
On Every Workable
Measure That May Be Sent
To Legislature, He Says
Upholds Welfare Record
Predicts Democrats Will
Introduce Bills Designed
To "Please Theorists"
George. A. Glynn, chairman ?f the
Republican State Committee, In dis?
cussing yesterd.'iy the work of the
coming Legislature at Albany, uttered
a challenge and a pledge.
"The record of the Republican party
in this state for the enactment of
sound welfare laws is unassailable,"
said he. "I predict that every work?
able measure that may be presented
this winter, or irr succeeding winters,
will be passed by the Republicans. I
venture the suggestion, which is not
given in a partisan or carping spirit,
that our Democratic friends will, for i
the sake of having something to talk \
about afterward, cause to bo intro
duceel a number of measures the com?
ing winter, the passage of which might
please a few high minded and disin?
terested theorists, but which, in the
long run, would not work for the wel?
fare of the state as a whole,
"The Republican party is in control
of the Senate and Assembly and re?
sponsible for the laws that will be
enacted this winter. As somewhat of
an outsider who is in touch with the
sentiment of the Republican leaders in
jetb houses, I predict that food legit?
lation will meet with short shrift, but
that meritorious measures, by whom?
soever offered, will receive a sejuare
deal.
Long in Control of Legislature
"The Republican party has been in
control of the Legislature continuous?
ly since 189.1, excepting thnt the Senate
in 1894 and from 1911 to l'J14 and the
-Assembly in 1911 and 1913 were Demo?
cratic. The Republicans can and must
?ake full credit for the record of steady
progress in enacting into law the con?
clusions reached by enlightened pub- I
lie opinion during those years. From j
in beginning the Republican Legisla-;
in:.- has had a record for initiating
and putting on the statute books legis- !
lation which has accorded to labor the I
benefits and privileges due to the im- j
portant part it plays in tho industrial \
structure and general prosperity of :
the state.
'Tn 189G u Republican Legislature, in
response to the suggestions of organ- 1
?zed. workers, created the Factory In- :
spectors' Bureau and the State Board ?
of Mediation and Arbitration. A year
later the Republicans enacted the j
Saturday half-holiday law. The same j
legislature designated the first Monday !
in ?September as Labor Day.
Labor Department Developed.
"Under Republican control the De- !
partment of Labor was developed, the
workmen's compensation law passed
and perfected. Under the law of 1915:
tho duties that devolved upon the for- !
mer Commissioner of Labor, and the
former Workmen's Compensation Com?
mission were transferred to the Indus?
trial Commission, This commission
has ther powejr to make investigations
as to conditions generally, and is
charged with the en forcement of the
labor laws and rules ai el regulations.
The commission has power to make
i ule- and regulations for the benefit of
labor and the betterment of industrial
conditions, which when adopted by the
Industrial Council shall constitute the
industrial code, and may be enforced
in the same manner as the lubor laws.
"The eight-hour ?lay and the prevail
\ ing rate of wages laws are so much a
part of our present industrial system
thai few people stop to consider that
those measures were developed in their
prisent, form by Republicans.
Eight-Hour-Day Law Passed
"Under the constitutional amendment
of 1905, a Republican measure, a Re
] publican Legislature passed laws pro
i viding for the eight-hour day and the
? payment of prevailing rates of wages
to employees at work on public con?
tracts. The laws relating to employers'
liability and workmen's compensation,

legislation under the guidance of Re?
publicans.
"Prior to 1895 there was a legal lim?
itation of $5,000 on tho amount that
could be recovered for death duo to
ncgligenco of another. As a result oi
the Constitutional Convention of that
year, which was dominated by Repub?
licans, this limitation was removed.
"In PJOii the Legislature took away
some of the technical defenses used
by the railroad companies in pleading
contributory negligence on the part of
the employees in accidents. It result?
ed in just benefits of hundreds of thou?
sands of dollars a year to employees
and their families. This law was so
beneficent in its workings that a Re?
publican Congress later placed all rail
way employees engaged in interstate
commerce under the protection of a
similar statute.
Other Labor legislation
"In 1900, the Wainwright-I'hillips
Commission, created by the Republican
Legislature, recommended two laws
which were passed by the Republicans
in 1910. The first law provided for a
system ot' elective workmen's com?
pensation. It applied to all employ?
ments and, by modifying the technical
defense of the employer, made it easier
for the workman to recover for physi?
cal injuries. It placed the burden of
proving contributory negligence upon
the employer. This law later became
the basis for workmen's compensation
legislation in all states where the sys?
tem was not compulsory.
"The second law created a system of
compulsory workmen's compensation in
certain specified employments. It was
enacted with the idea of testing the
principle for future development. It
was declared unconstitutional in 1911.
The Wainwright-Phillips Commission
immediately had introduced in the
Legislature, then in session, a resolu?
tion for a constitutional amendment
that would make compulsory work?
men's compensation legally possible.
The Legislature at that time was Dem?
ocratic. The proposed constitutional
amendment was killed by the Demo?
cratic Assembly. This delayed the re?
form for twelve months. The 1912
Republican Assembly passed the
amendment and, in 1913, it was passed
by the Republicans a second time and
later approved by the people at the
general election of that year."

To Be a Negro
The Travelers' Aid ?Society announced
yesterday that scores of young women
were coming to New York from rural
communities wyth the purpose of mar?
rying men whom they know only
through matrimonial advertisements or
"correspondence clubs." In half a
dozen or more instances investigation
by the Travelers' Aid Society showed
that the man whose advertisement a
white woman had answered was a
negro.
One woman of twenty-one, who never
before had been away from her home
in North Carolina, was found bewil?
dered in the Pennsylvania Station. All
her belongings were in a blue bandan?
na which she carried. She was pre?
vailed upon to give u\i the addres3 of1

It was in The Bronx and the street
was one frequented by negroes. No

woman. That, evening, however, a man
telephoned to the headquarters of the
society and sai?! that he was the one
who was expecting the girl from North
Carolina. His slurring spe ch caused
suspicion that he was a negro, and he
was asked if that was the case.
"Yes, 1 am," he replied, "hut if this

London Is Insane '
Over Spiritualism,
Says Stage Beauty
Evu Bal four, English Film
Star, Asserts Asylums Will
Be Filled; Sir Oliver
Lodge Duped, She Avers
When Sir Oliver Lodge arrives in
this country to explain his views on
spiritualism, he will find an experienced
but disbelieving psychic here before
him, who thinks Sir Oliver is "chasing
spiritualist rainbows." She is Miss Eva
Balfour, formerly of Sir Herbert Tree's
Shakespearian theater and one of,
England's foremost motion picture
actresses. Miss Balfour arrived here
last Saturday on the Baltic with the
intention, she declared yesterday at tho
Hotel Majestic, of remaining. Except
for a brief stay two months ago on a
professional visit, it is her first visit
! to America. Miss Balfour has fre?
quently been mentioned as "England's
most beautiful actress."
"Sir Oliver Lodge is being imposed
upon," declared Miss Balfour yester?
day, in describing the spiritualist craze
in England. "Qr else he is deceiving
himself," she added, "as hundreds of
people have since tho war. People are
literally going mad in London over
spirits. At the present rate our lunatic
; asylums will soon be filled and the
? whole race will be affected.
"I disagree frankly with Sir Oliver,
i with no desire to be impolite, because
! I have not only been what people cull
: p lychic since I was eight years old. but
? ?!? ?> because I have thoroughly investi
, gated spiritualism since the craze
i struck England. If you had spent as
much time as I have in darkened rooms
trying to catch the toy balloons on the
end of a stick which are used to tap
you on the head in the dark, you would
agree with me."
"Did you ever catch one of them?"
she was asked.
"No. but I grabbed at them every
time they tapped me," she said.
Miss Balfour ascribes her own
psychic abilities to having lived so
much by herself in the hills of New
Zealand, where she was born. She has
refused repeatedly to be used as a
medium by English experimenters, be?
cause of her theory concerning so
called spiritualist manifestations.
Before leaving England Miss Balfour
posed as model for a Venus executed
by Dora Ohlfson, the Australian
sculptor. Asked how her measure?
ments compared with those of the Venus
of Milo, Miss Balfour taid they were
identical, except that her wrists and
ankles were slightly smaller.
Prince's Screen Favorite
Miss Balfour has been away from
; New Zealand for more than eight
: years. Pour of these she spent with
j Sir Herbert Tree, her favorite r?le
! being Catherine in "The Taming of the
? Shrew," In the last four years she
; had devoted most of her time to the
movies, and is said to be the screen
favorite of the Prince- of Wales.
According to Miss Balfour, the movies
' are displacing the legitimate drame in
England because of the preponderance
of "stupid plays pandering to sex,"
Her favorite American dramatists are
David Belasco and George M. Cohan,
she said. A short visit to Greenwich
Village, she declared, had convinced
her that it is inhabitated by a "lot
of Bohemians, who use art as an ex
1 cuse for late evenings."
Miss Balfour is a brunette with a
mass of black hair, trimmed Green?
wich Village style. She paints and
favors the establishment 'cere of an
art center such as Chelsea in Eng?
land for the development of serious
work. American women are th? b ;
' dressed in the world, she says, and
i carry themselves most gracefully.

! Illinois Executive Denies He
Will Open Presidential
Headquarters Here; Sees

Governor Frank 0. Lowden of
Illinois, one of the candidates for the
Republican nomination for President
and who is credited with having the
Minois delegation to the national con?
vention sewn up, arrived here yester?
day.
The Governor, when seen at his apart?

discuss politics for publication. He
denied the report that he had come to

copied by the Illinois Republican dele?
gation in Congress, who are maintain?

Lowden.
The Governor's arrival was not un?
known to many of the local Republi?
cans, some of whom called on him, in?
cluding Job E'. Hedges. Another visi?
tor was Governor James P. Goodlier,
of Indiana, who was also a guest at
the hotel. "Social visits" was the char?
acterization applied to the e calls at
Governor <Lowden's apartment.
The Governor will speak to-night at

Dinner. He will leave for Illinois to?
morrow. He will return again to this
city January 12, when he will speak at
