WILSON LAUNCHES HIS
RACE FOR REELECTION
President Writes Ohio Officials He Has
No Objection to Use of His
Name in Primary.

President Wilson yesterday formally
launched his candidacy for reelection.
This was done in the publication at the
White House of a letter written by the
President to Secretary of State Hide
brant of Ohio, authorizing the placing
Of his name on the Democratic primary
ballot in Ohio.
The President said he was unwilling
to enter into a contest for the nomina-
ton, but that he would not oppose the
use OF his name as a candidate in order
that the Democratic voters might signi-
fy their preference. Administration lead
ers declare that the President was mere
ly following up the policy he laid down
In his letter to former Representative
Palmer, Of Pennsylvania. written short
ly after the national election of 1912, in
which he said he thought it the duty Of
the President to submit his administra ton
to the people for their approval or disap-
proval.
Former authorization from the President
for the use of his name on the primay
ballot In Ohio was required by the pri-
mary statute of that state. Actual ballot
ing is for delegates to the national con-
vention, but candidate for delegate to the
convention are required to file a state
ment of their first and second choices
on or before February % and no candi-
date can name for either choice a man
who has not sanctioned the use Of his
name.

!DRY" LEADER Anglers
ST. ALOYSIUS' PASTOR
Father DonnelIy Says Anti-SaIoon
League Head Libels Church in
Saying 1t Aids Saloon.

Rev. Francis p. Donelly. pastor of st.
AlOysius' Catholic Church. last night
characterized as false, malicious, and IL
belOus the statement made yesterday by
Andrew Wilson, president Of the Anti
Saloon League, before the excise sub
committee of the Senate District Com
mittee to the effect that the church had
built a storm door and locked an en-
trance gate so that nearby saloon in
North Capitol street might evade the
law on measurement.
The statement of Mr. wilson" said
Father Donnelly, lis entirely false. No
door has ever been barred and no gate
has ever been locked during the regular
hours when the church is supposed to
be open. During the hours of regular
services on Sunday every door and gate
is unlocked and made available for use.
Mr.. Wilson's statement is malicious
and libelous, for he charges the church
authorities with conniving at violation
of the excise law. I shall make special
mention of this libelous attack in an ad-
dress to the Third Sunday Brigade next
Sunday morning at the church"

E-2 SUB EXPLOSION
REPORT SUPPRESSED
Secretary Daniels Keeps Secret Find
ings of Special Court of Inquiry.
Edison Employe Blamed.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels has again
put the lid on publicity in his depart
ment He announced yesterday afternoon
that he would not make public the re-
port Of the special court of inquiry which
has just concluded its investigation into
the causes of the hydrogen gas explosion
last month on the submarine E-2, at the
New York Navy Yard, which resulted in
the death Of four men.
The report of the court was received
yesterday. 1t is understood that the court
found the explosion was due in part to
the failure of one of the Edison EMPLOYEES
to give the necessary warning to the
men who were engaged in dlscharsing the
Edison battery at the time the explosion
occurred. Mr.. Daniels would merely say
that he had decided to approve a recon-
mendation that the experiments with the
Edison battery be continued and that the
e. should be used as a laboratory for
that purpose.

Cease to Champion Cause Of Vets
Because of Strike in Wash

Organized labor of the District will
take no definite stand with respect to the
SHEPPARD bill for prohibition of the liquor
traffic in the District
Because of the refusal of local brewery
owners to accede to the demands of the
union brewery workers who for many
months have been on a strike here, the
Central Labor Union at a meeting last
night in Typographical Temple decided
that 1t would not aid the liquor men in
their fight against threatened prohibition.
This action is I'm accordance with a
statement issued by officers of the union
at the very beginning of the strike. At
that time it was pointed out that unless
the brewers yielded to the demands of
the striking workers. organized labor
would cease to champion the cause OF
liquor and possibly would aid the pro-
