PRAYERS FOR HUGHES
IN FATHERS CHURCH
Present Pastor and Committee
Express Joy in His Nomination.

Out in Greenpoint there is not a
single tooth left in that old saw con-
corning the probable destiny of "the

ter"
There is the case of Charley to an
swer IT,
The oldest members of the congrega-
ton of the Union Avenue Baptist
Church remember Charley as the pas
tors son. A thoughtful and devout
boy, he was and, oddly enough, II the
proverb is to be taken as a rule, he
kept on growing more thoughtful and
more devout as he grew up 20 and
into mans estate.
Charley has been doing quite well
recently and, news OF his success hav-
ing come to their ears, the present
pastor and a committee Of the church
sent to him yesterday the following
telegram:
I'VE rejoice that the Republican
party has chosen so Cody and Chris
tianlike a candidate as yourself. The
prayers of your old church and the
Sunday school will, like those of many
Christian people in the land, go out
for your guidance"
So, thus, though his full name be
yet withheld, you know who the Green
point Charley is -Charley, the minis

MOOSE LEADERS
TO AID HUGHES
Continued from page I

Hughes said last night he did not know
when the committee would wait on him.
The date, however, will probably be set
in the next day or two.
The "undiluted Americanism" state
ment occasioned considerable comment
at Hughes headquarters. One former
rabid Roosevelt man declared that il
was his belief that if the Colonel held
any doubt as to whether he could
actively support the Republican candi-
date il was dissipated by Mr.. Hughes's
procurement.
Political wiseacres who thronged the
block of rooms on the northeastern cor
ner Of the first floor Of the Hotel Aston
yesterday said they would not be sur
prised to learn that a date for CON
ference between the Colonel and Mr..
Hughes would soon be arranged.
Mr. Hughes continued his silence
with respect TO Colonel Roosevelt yes
terday. When one young and bold re-
porter, with an imagination that saw in
Colonel Roosevelt's visit to his son-in-
law in town a pretext for get-to-
gether conference between Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hughes, asked him
il the Colonel was going to call, Mr..
Hughes made IT plain he would keep
silent on politics for the present
A smiling but determined 81 have
nothing to say" was his reply TO ques-
tons about the national craftsmanship.
One rumor yesterday was that Colonel
William Hayward, Public Service Com
missioner, was slated for the job.
Colonel Hayward was one Of the man
ayers of the Taft 1912 campaign, being
assistant secretary of the Republican
Il 81. -
Governor Whitman's 1914 campaign.
Colonel Hayward, who returned from
Chicago with Governor Whitman yes
terday, called on Mr.. Hughes and ar
ranged for a meeting between him and
the Governor. The date was left TO
Governor Whitman's convenience, as he
has lot of work to clean up in Al
bany. It was said that the Governor
probably would come down tonight or
Thursday.

Baker Reaches st. Louis
with Planks Drawn
by Wilson.
STAND ON TARIFF
CAUSES SURPRISE
Revenue Only Attitude Not Ex-
pected in Face of Dye
Industry Effort.

fFror a star Correspondent, ~ Tho Tribune,
St. Louis, June 13.-With the White
House approved platform in his pock-
ct, but with only smiles for interview
ers, Secretary Of War Baker arrived
in st. Louis tonight. He declined to
discuss the platform, saying what he
brought was for the consideration Of
the resolutions committee alone, and
not for public consumption as yet.
Asked about a probable criticism of
recruiting Presidents from the Supreme
Court. he gave the impression that
there would be no plank to that effect
personally" he said, 81 am opposed
to members Of the Supreme Court re-
signing to accept Presidential nomina-
tions. There is no doubt, however, that
Mr.. Justice Hughes was drafted, and in
addition, | would not be willing 10
place any arbitrary restriction on the
choice of the people for President"
IL was learned tonight that the fol-
lowing is the draft of the tentative
tariff plank:
I'VE reafiirm our belief in the doc
trine of tariff for revenue only and
unreservedly indorse the Underwood
lsIll law az truly eAeHlplil ylHB lHdJ
doctrine. All competitive tariff rates
are necessarily subject to change TO
meet changing conditions in the worlds
production and trade Such changes
should be made only after careful in
vestigation Of the condition at home
and abroad by non-partisan tariff
commission, whose findings should be
presented to Congress for appropriate
action and the normal conditions of fair
competition between American and
foreign producers should be maintained
by an anti-dumping law which should
keep the tariff rates on fairly com
petitve basis in times OF surplus pro-
duction abroad"
The Endorsement OF tariff for revenue
only, while good old Democratic doc
traine. surprised those who heard it
tonight in view of the admitted effort
to build up a dyestuffs industry by
means of protective tariff.
The tariff commission proposal is
not a surprise, in view Of the an
nounced platform of the House Ways
and Means Committee. but this is also
regarded as stealing Republican thun-

perceive no reason why ! should sup
port Mr.. Hughes. l regard Mr.. Wilson

ure at least. to the call Of the Pro-

neither Republican nor Democrat,
but rather independent.
T. 81 am Progressive, and intend 70

gressive ticket in the field and the

lieved there are some two million sin
cere mon who prefer standing for

ments Of office. ! place my name
among these. on what l deem TO be

Probably in September, but the

Whereat Mr.. Bryan's lips frightened

Time Not Ripe for Prohibition.
The Commoner is not going to ap-
pear before the resolutions committee:
He even dropped his good old friend
Prohibition for the time being. and he
believes that there should be no such
plank IN the Democratic platform this
year. lie thinks that perhaps in 1920
the time will be ripe for such a plank.
Mr.. Bryan arrived here this morning,
and soon made his position clear on
the part that he would take in the con-
vention.

prohibition plank this year."
NO" the Commoner answered. 81
don't think there should be a prohibit
ton plank in this platform. OF course.
you know that ! am for national pro-
hibition, but | don't think the time is
ripe for national action just now"
at has been suggested that 1920
would furnish the psychological mo-
ment for the insertion of a prohibition
plank in the Democratic platform" it
was suggested.
81 can't specify any time" Mr.. Bryan
responded. ~ don't think it is very
far Off, however"
Mr.. Bryan said that an energetic
effort would be made to get the Bull
Moosers into the ranks Of the Demo

Mr. Bryan was asked what he thought

before the resolutions committee to

Close friends Of Mr.. Bryan declared
TO -day that his course would have been
different had Roosevelt been nominal

easily have defeated the Colonel HAD
Roosevelt been the Republican candidate
Bryan intended TO force fight Tor
Democratic planks on the subjects he

position didn't seem to change.
The Maryland delegates were just
about 20 set out from the Jefferson
Hotel on a big celebration. They were
all in line with a brass band at the
head, when the Peerless One entered
the lobby. A frantic signal and the
musical instruments came down with
out sound, while delegates extended
clammy hands to Bryan. Then IN ST.
lence they hurried away. II was two

as being in his honor.
"Are you going to urge any particu

asked.
