Especial CORRESPONDENCE

Washington. Oct. 21-The efforts OF
Mr.. Bryan in his political speaking tour
to he all things to all brands of demo-
Gratis are causing mucn comment In
Washington, as they are elsewhere
Great is the wagging of tongues among
democrats as we'll as republicans on
account of it.
Inasmuch as the endorsements OF
Secretary Bryan are supposed TO be the
endorsements backed by his chief
President Wilson. it Is of some interest
TO follow them Mr.. Bryan has just got
thru speaking for the Tammany can
dates, Glynn and Gerard in New York;
for the Taggart machine in Indiana
and the liquor ticket IN Ohio. He has
reiraned from going into Illinois be-
cause of his lons-standing personal
antipathy to Roger Sullivan, tho the
administration is well know to be
friendly to Sullivans election and the
democratic national committees worked
for Sullivan's nomina ton.
In the New York primary fight. the
pIeSlutlk SEM WIZ u ptlotb NAitAN az
was taking no part This Vas dis
appointment TO the anti TammanS
democrats Since Giynn and Gerard
have been named. Mr.. Bryan, in a
meeting at Brooklyn. has endorsed
them. Secretary Tumulty was one OF
those present at the meeting.
Indiana Situation.
The situation as TO the Taggart ma
chine in Indiana is worth attention. 80
strong is the feeling against the Tag
CART machine, that the democratic
members Of congress in the house from
Indiana have been praying that con
cresS would not adjourn. Now that adj
iournrnent is at hand they say to their
friends that they shall not go home Tor
,h., canlpajgu for fear that they viii
be dragged into an unwilling support
OF the Taggart nominees. Mr. BRYAN
has gone into Indiana and endorsed the
whole outfit.
Ohio is having the fight of her hfe
over the liquor question. The progress
sives have pledged their man TO state
prohibition. The republican candidate
Representative Frank +. Wills. mas
come out for prohibition also. The dem l.
Gratis are for the liquor tratlic aiiu
Governor Cox has the active support oil
the brewers and the distillers. In fact
The democratic platform contains =
UNIQUE plank pledging the party
successful TO enact NO legislation re-
srrictive of The liquor traffic MI. BY :
An. a no-liquor man TO the point OF
fana;ieisn. has gone into ONO ana
endorsed Governor Cox.
The Roger Sullivan dose IN lllinoiS
Were Bryan's ancient enemy IS the
democratic nominee for United states
senator. has been too much for the
secretary of state While endorsing
his friend Glynn in New York, the Tag
gar; machine men in Indiana and the
liquor candidate in Ohio. he draws the
line on Sullivan and is opposing him
He and Sullivan always have fough'
each other and the regularity which
appeals to Mr. Bryan in the three 9TH
er states cuts no figure in Illinois.
But Mr. Sullivan is not wholly de-
serted by the forces OF the administra-
tion. Postmaster General Burleson WI
go out into Illinois to speak for him on
