Report Excites Capital

Washington, January 30--The report
from Miami, Fla. concerning William j.
Brvan's place in the Wilson cabinet
spread through this city today and
aroused widespread interest and COM
ment among senators and representatives.
There was some misgiving at the outset
as to accepting the report in the alb
sence of an authoritative statement di-
rect from the principals and because of
the frequency OF cabinet tentative states
appearing recently
The prevailing view was that the re-
port was in line with what had been
expected for some time by those leaders
having close relations with the President
elect and Mr. Bryan. Some OF the lead
ers in the confidence Of both the President
and the commoner, asserted their be-
lief In the accuracy of the statement that
Mr. BRYAN had accepted the portfolio
II was said that Mr. Bryan had confided
to prominent democratic senators soma
time ago the fact that he had been
offered the position and had determined
ia accept, but none of the leaders were
willing Notwithstanding to permit the use
of his name In connection OF it. Senate
and House members who recently talke /
with President-elect Wilson declined 90
make any comment as to the informa-
ton they had received from him.

The Herald has had to take knowledge
of a good many speeches for and against
woman suffrage. 1t knows of none bet
ter than the plea for suffrage made by
Mrs. Breckenridge before the Texas ed
itors the other day. Among other things,
Mrs. Breckenridge said:

believe that by using the ballot we can
better conditions for our homes and our
communities" said she. "WOman has
many interests outside her own home.
She must participate in regulating mat

lions, are all interests in which women
are needed. She belongs in the home,
but unfortunately over 5000. 900 women
are forced from their homes to work for
their support or hat of their children.
Until we have state aid for widows with
children, for homes devastated by any

we must ask for the ballot that is to be
