CHAIRMAN MACK PEERS
FAR INTO THE FUTURE
Bryan May Be Candidate Once More,
But in 1916.
The PHILADELPHIA Press.l


The Hon. Norman E. Mack, chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, has a cheerful, hopeful and en-
couraging spirit, with a good word
for everybody-everybody who is a
democrat. His utterances on the
democratic situation throughout the
land are always interesting, and some
times profitable.
Present political conditions fill the
democratic chairman with expecta-
! tions that his party will elect the
next president, and he speculates a
little about probable candidates, but
without making a nomination. So far
as it appears the only candidates now
in sight are Mayor Gaynor, of New
York Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, and for
mer Governor Folk, of Missouri. The
national chairman gives each of these
a certificate of availability, making
no discrimination or personal distinc-
ton whatsoever. as becomes an i'm
partial party chairman
But the most important statement
he makes is about Col Bryan. Plenty
of democrats are much afraid Col
Bryan intends to resume the business
of running for president two years
hence. Mr.. Mack is not torn and dis,
tracted by any such fear. He hardly
expects Col Bryan to be a candidate
next time, but Col. Bryan, he points
out, is still a young man and may be
1 candidate once more in 1916. The
vision of the prophet does not reac.
beyond that date, but it is enough.
We have no doubt a large proportion
of the party earnestly hopes that Col.
Bryan will adhere to the chairman
idea so far as the next campaign is
concerned.
If it is Col. Bryan's idea to steD
aside every other time and let some
one else try his hand at it, it is a
shrewd one. Nothing was lost to the
prestige of Col Bryan when he lef
the field clear to Judge Parker and

sort is occasionally necessary to give

HAROLD MCGRATH TELLS
HOW he GETS PLOTS
Finds Them By Chance As
He Goes Through Life

New York, June 21-When Harold
MoGrath was asked how he goes to
work with one of his novels recently
he answered:
4 usually begin a story as dram
atist begins a play; with the end. The
characters work out the plot them
selves. l have very little to do with

Before he starts to write Mr.. Me-
Grath goes around for a time with the
theme of the plot in his head, but he
doesn't outline the plot. He believes
that the plot is naturally foremost but
after it assumes a body on paper,
he said, ait has many devious twists
of which, I had no definite prior idea.

Mr.. McGrath believes that he does
better work when he is in the mood
for it, and he never tries to make him
self do a certain amount of work each
day. He writes wien he feels like il.
Sometimes, there are days when he
can't write even a few hundrd words,
but he has written as much as 1000
words a day
"a character that doesn't balk," he
said n speaking of the obstacles he
encounters, never fails to be uninter-
esting. I have always tried to place
human people in absurd or unique po-
sitions and to let them extricate them
selves as you or I if so placed"
He has found it a good idea to re-
write the last two or three pages of
chapter when it seems hard to con-
meet one chapter with another. 1t
seems to give him a swing, he says,
in beginning the next.
q always begin story with a
paragraph or sentence vital to the
plot" he declares, something to grip
the readers attention from the very
start. To accomplish this the first
page is always to me the hardest bit
of writing in the whole book"
