Urging Bryan
 To Run Again

 a Dark Horse

Washington. March 21-Despite Will liam J. Bryan's repeated refusals to be considered a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomina ton some of his friends are urging him to let them go to work for him.
 It is getting to be a strong belief among Democrats that the outco e of the present hot fight will be a dark horse; that Wilson will go into the convention with a big plurality, bu sary two hirds: that Harmon will ever rank higher than second, and that either one Of the minor candi- dates or a dark horse will be non1in- a ed, as was the case with the Repub- Hears in 1888 when Harrison was nom- mated as the result of a dea dlo k
 He was not really a dark hose then but occupied more the rosition that Oscar TTHGerwood does today.
 In this situation, and in the belief Tat the convention VIII be deadloc'-e ed have been trying to get him to let them put him in training. It is known that Sena tor-elect Vardanan of Miss iesiDpi ard Josenhus Dan'els. t'e Ma ional Cor mi teen7 an for No tn Car cItra, have been urging the idea upon him.
 Bryan is eoin@ to the convention as a 6e'eeate atlarge from Nebra ska ard will go there as a Wilson man. re nay he selected to make the nom iratng speech for Wilson If his pa ~arel to 1890 when Caree'd went to CNicaro to toor, John She~man and became dark horse nominee will be cOmplete

Dances Run By
 Churches Would
 Kill "Bunny Hug

Superintendent Birmingham today gave his emphatic endorsement to the recommenda ions made by Miss Mar garet c. Cummings, public school principal of New York, before the Ma tional Leag ue for the Civic Education of Women, in New York, Tuesday.
 Miss Cummings recommended that churches and similar organiza tions conduct public dances to offset the influence of public dance halls run under low grade influences, where the "turkey trot'', the grizzly bear, the bunny hug, and other suggestive dances are in vogue. The story of Miss Cummings address was told in the New York Sun yesterday morning. Mrs Cummings started to give popu- lar dances and supervise them herself. Her gues at first brought a collec- ton of hops, wrig gles, writings and glides. and to eliminate these was Mrs. Cummings main battle.
 Then she d ,scove:ed that the girls insisted on wearing large hats so that young men and women could dance cheek to cheek under the pro ecting shelter of the brim. So she made her guests come hatless thereafter.
 At another dance held in the ear ly S ages of the experiment, some aw- ful things happened" the Sun repor S Miss Cummings as asaying. ''There was tunny hugging with vens canoe. So I stopped the dance and tod everybody to go home. I was curious to see what they would do when they got out, and I followed a number of them. They went to the Queensboro bridge, found a place to dance in th. dark, and there without lights and without music thev turkey trctted and bunny hugged until I got policeman ard made them stop"
 Miss Cummings then declared that the remedy was for churches to take hold of the 6arce n~ot 'e"o and n e." duct dances in such a way as to make them inno ent amusemen S. She Sad that 1t is much easier to educate the young men to proper dancing and that the greatest opponents of "the bunny hug" and the grizzly bear, etc, are the girls
 Supt. Birmingham thought that N-.ss r'rr-r~i~es' ak v-es 'uI' oe wis dom and he gave 1t his hearty en- CoISenIent.
