DEMOCRATIC SPLIT IS
Seen in TOLLS Fight
Some Political Seers Say Clark Will
Lose Speakership and Bryan
Run for President.
GLASS MAY RECEIVE GAvEL

New York, March N-The Sun tomor-
row will say:
Harmony has taken wings from the
Democratic party as IL Is represented in
Washington. The fight over the Panama
tolls question has bred a spirit Of fae-
tionalism, and leaders fear the result
Is a political way. President Wilson won
q victory over the big leaders of the
House when the little lesders,' speaking
for him, tammed through a rule limiting
debate on the bill repeating the exemp-
ton clause OF the Panama Canal act.
As a result the prophecy is indulged that
IL Woodrow Wilson ignores the one-term
principle enunciated In the Baltimore
platform that he will have to fight for
the nomination as he never fought before
On the other hand. administration spokes
men declare that IL the Democrats win
the next House Champ Clark, OF Mis-
souri,, will forfeit the Speakership as a
penalty for his temerity in showing his
teeth to the administration or tie tolls
question. They aver that the admins
tration forces viii bend their energies
from this time forth to undo Mr.. Clark.
For a year the Democrats have given
q superb exhibition OF party solidarity.
Radicals have shown signs OF restless
ness over the restraints Imposed by the
man IN the White House. but have been
held in check by Leader Underwood and
Mr.. Clark. But on the tolls question
Messrs. Underwood and Clark were fol-
lowed of the party reservation by fifty-
three of their colleagues.
Democratic critics of the President
are beginning to ask about the attitude
Of Mr.. Wilson toward the one-term
plank in the Baltimore platform. They
point out that Mr.. Wilson recommended
the repeal bill in spite of the specific
Endorsement of the platform, and they
want to know II he intends similarly to
ignore the one-term declaration Of the
Baltimore deliverance.
There is another angle to the present
state of Democratic unrest. Mr.. Under
wood Is a candidate for the Senate. and

Tell Me. Tell II All.


The day was a gray one, the first
of the kind in weeks. As Doris
| stepped into the room where Oswald
sat, she felt how much ray of sun
shine would have encouraged her and
yet how truly these leaden skies and
this dismal atmosphere expressed the
gloom which soon must fall upon this
hopeful. smiling man.
Advancing slowly. and not answer

casual remark of his, she took her
stand by his side and then slowly and
with her eyes on his face, sank down
upon her knees, still without speak

There seem to be some character

hold in common. Many are familiar
with the story of the Chinese serv'
ant who threw the broom down the
back stairs every morning at ten
o'clock because his mistress had done
so when she first instructed him In his
duties.
Recently a young German in Mu-
mich. fresh from his service in the
army. where he had been taught TO
obey orders implicitly. got employ
ment with baker who owned dog,
for which neither he nor his wife had
any great love. AS the time approach
ed for the renewal OF the dog license,
amounting to marks tS225). there
was some discussions In the family
as to whether IL would not be bet
ter to have the dog killed. The
baker. however. instructed the new
assistant to take marks to the ex-
else Office and bring back the dog Ii

the dog to the ANIMALS home and

The face of Oswald hardened.
