FLOOR WALKER SHOOTS
WOMAN, KILLS HIMSELF

CHICAGO, Jan, A double shoot
ine-attempted murder and actual sui
cide-startled people on Michigan avenue
IN front Of the Auditorium Hotel last
evening. It arose out Of a love affair
between Mrs. Pishzak. wife OF William
Pishzak, a State bank examiner, and
Charles Gilbert Brockett, floor walker
in a State street department store.
RrOckett shot the young woman
through the body, then turned the re-
volver on his own brain. Brockett died
in St. Luke's Hospital at S o'clock, two
hours after the shooting. without re-
wound is not necessarily fatal.
There IS considerable evidence to bear
out the suppOsitiOn that BrOckett's
tragic act was the result OF the woman's
resolve TO cease his attentions and re-

An important step toward preserya-

JOhhSon Versus Bryan
In Fight for Nomination
Opponents of Nebraskan Playing Hard to
Undermine Him and Throw Democratic
Convention to Governor of Minnesota.

Activity in Republican Presidential
politics in recent weeks has served al
most 10 divert notice from the struggle
that is on IN Democratic ranks over the
Democratic nomination. At no time
since the campaign began TO open up
have the opponents Of Mr.. Bryan IN the
Democratic party been more active than
they have been recently.
They are seeking 70 advance the candi-
daCy Of some man who viii prevent the
nomination OF Bryan. and in casting
about for some one who win command
a respectable showing Of strength in
the Democratic National Convention
they have hit upon Gov. John A. John
son, OF Minnesota.
At various times in recent months,
anti-Bryan leaders have tried to bring
out some man who would check the
trend Of the party to Bryan. Such men
as CuIberson OF Texas, Daniel Of Vir-
ginia, Judge Gray. Judsou Harmon, and
Lieutenant Governor Chanier Of New
York, have been suggested and efforts
made TO get their candidates. under
way. but It has been pUssible In none
Of these cases TO make sufficient head
wayato forestall the nomination Of the

Playing Up Johnson
Governor johnson has been more or
less talked Of since he was suggested
some months ago BY Col Henry Wat
terson. But It IS only IN recent weeks
that an organized effort has been put
forth 20 promote the johnson caadi-
dacy.
one OF the first moves made regarding
il was TO have Governor johnson come
to Washington several weeks ago and
he a guest at the GridirOn dinner. This
gave him opportunity TO meet a large
number Of public men and allowed them

Which alone is reason enough

Everybody knows that water

is true that fabrics may be washed

20 take the Minnesota mans measure.
It should be added that he made high
~ favorable impression.
Democrats generally realize the
strength OF BRYAN, but Il IS realized
further that Ihy two thirds rule pre-
walls IA the Democrat convention The
opponents OF Blyan tLV5 been nSurlng
on whether they could not cCntrot over
a third Of =L@ delegates 80 absolutely
as to prevent the Bryan nomination and
force the selection Of some one else, Il
is apparent thar t.us l. rather forlorn
hope, though IL IS not entirely out OF
the Ques ton.
Where They Expect TO Win.
There is no doubt johnson VIII get
the MINI esota delegation. He viii also
get a following or other delegates IN
the Northwest. The anti-Bryan men
hOCs TO hold Pennsylvania. They are
working co get New York They eX-
pecL TO got Delaware through Judge
Gray. They may get Ohio through Jud-
son Harmon. They hope for the dele
gatieEs OF some Of the Southern States.
ct course, the unit rule viii prevail
as 10 State delegations. and this VIII
prevent the and-Bryan men from turn
Ing scattering delegates IN sympathy
with them TO account But they be
heve that Il IS not at all impossible
fOI them to get over third Of the
delegates AMI get them in such fashion
that they can be held permanently away
from Bryan.
The Bryan leaders say the scheme
cannot he worked. They assert they
have been giving il attention and are
on the lookout FOR it. Nevertheless, u
Is known THAI It has been giving them
concern Friends of BTysn have been
active lately "a Minnesota, trying 20

Bryan a Selling Plater2
Conservative Democrats are arguing
that II IS utterly useless Tor Gryan TO
run, since he cannot be elected. They
are arguing that a man must be named
who will carry New York and New
Jersey, and that Bryan can do neither.
On the other hand, they point out that
sGOvernl. Johnson would stand a show
Of carrying those States. and, besides,
that he will be a better VOte-getter than
Bryan, having none Of the prejudices
10 encounter that Bryan will have 10.
They point to the vCte-getting record
made in Minnesota by this son Of q poor
WasherwOman and TO the fact that he
would not be unacceptable TO couserVa-
tive Democrats, whose support is neces-
sary 10 elect the ticket
on the whole, the situation IS ono that
has possibilities and If the Johnson
movement continues to gain support the
Democratic convention may become a
bitterly contested one instead OF the
routine affair that has been anticipated.

Refusal Of Senatorship wise.

THE wisest thing Bryan aver did was
60 refuse the Senatorial toga or the CUB
ernatoriaI nomination or other political
position. His course IN establishing his
weekly paper and going among the peO-
PIE OF all States has been followed by
the dissipation OF the foolish prejudice
against him IN the minds of many Re
pubLCans who had been given distorted
ideas OF his personality and opinions.
GO back over the years which have
passed since lie was first nominated,
especially since 1890. Remember that he
has come CLOSE 10 the people of every
class and distinction He has met and
talked with and to politicians, voters,
church people. and Y. II. c. A. mem
bers. He has allied himself with the
great civic and social organizations
which make for the common good.
Furthermore, not only is Bryan
stronger than before with the people,
but the Republican party is weaker
with the public and within its own
ranks, than at any time during the past
twenty years. 1t IS split asunder nov
with fractional strife, and the present
panic has burst the bubble Of assun D
tion as tho guarantor Of national pros
