Washington. - That the United
States in Its policy toward the pro-
visional government in Mexico is con-
tent to await the outcome of the
steady pressure being exerted. to
bring about the downfall of the
Huerta regime, is apparent in official
circles here. Exciting rumors from
Mexico City wholly failed to ruffle the
calm confidence of President Wilson
or Secretary of State Bryan.

official of the government In discuss

dent was not at all aroused by the re-
port that Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge d'affaires, was about
to quit Mexico City, and 1t was stated
that no orders had been given either
to Mr.. O'Shaughnessy or John Lind, at
Vera Cruz, to leave Mexico.

fident that the financial boycott of the
Huerta regime by the United States

In discussing the persistent rumors
that Charge d'Affaires o'Shaughnessy
was about to take his departure, leay

in the care of one of the ministers
representing the foreign powers, Sec
retary Bryan stated fatty that neither

marked that no one here can foretel
what action General Huerta Nigh

MENACE IN MEASURE
Currency Bill Demands Careful
Consideration.
Fact That II Carries the Endorsement
of William J.. Bryan is Of itself
Enough to Warn Congress to
Go Slow.

The very last public man in Amer
lea to whom congress should listen
when considering a bank bill is viii
liam ]. Bryan. His theories have
been 80 unsound, and his heresies SO
monumental that his very name ia
linked forever with the widest at
tempt ever made in America to over
throw the balance of all credits.
Mr.. Bryan's warm advocacy of the
Owen-Glass measure must therefore
cast chill over the entire land. His
authority is immense, and he now
brushes aside the screen which has
concealed him as power behind the
pending measure.
Mr.. Bryan's heart beats strongly for
two features of this bill-one giving
the government the control over all
banks and the other giving the gov
ernment the sole right to issue cur
rency. Both are closely allied to
greenbackism.
The peril In these two provisions OF
the bill would be obvious If some ultra
financial radical like Mr.. Bryan him
nehl shoulu pSSOho pa AooAuohs u
United States. Armed with absolute
personal domination over the banks
and having the authority to issue an
unlimited amount of paper currency
redeemable In lawful money" but
not in gold, such president could in
stantly create panic the like which
has never been known.
The very reason why congress-
should put 1t beyond the grasp of any
one man to WELD so formidable a
power is that financially unsound or
ambitious man might occupy the
White House. The federal board OF
control should be no mans puppet.
nor should any free silver theories
be woven into the currency laws for
s5,0OO,000 people.

The Progressive state convention In
New York named its ticket. and IL
there were not the numbers present

assembled followers we're as fully de-
termined as ever to pursue the course
they had outlined In their political de-
parture of 1912.
The 10000 Republicans who sup
ported Mr.. Gardner for the nomination

approved his platform at the prima-
ries fund but little harmony OF ac-
tion In a state convention which rati-
fled the candidate and rejected his
policies.
Political bosses, or so-called man
ayers, seem to remain obtuse to the
fact that 1t is now the voters who de-
termine the policies of party and
register their decree as to its fate at
the polls.
1t looks like a wandering of many
years in the wilderness for the third
party in last years contest, and while
its leaders may insure Democratic sue
cess by failure to recognize the exist
ing conditions, yet it would seem but
political wisdom for them to remem-
ber 1912 and be warned by the reJec-

the score or more Of vessels driven on
