WILSON GROWS STRONGER

There is no question but that Presi- dent Wilson has grown stronger. Dem- ocrats are req asonably certain now that he will be reelected. Time was, how ever. when pronounced doubt was en- tertained.

He demanded that England and France abandon their in 'excusable policy against American commerce and American shipping. And. to cap the climax he has main tained the government relatively in a state of peace--this with the worlL war mad. And there is general pros perity in all sections of the United 1 States.

Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri an- nounces today that he will not per init the use of his name as a candi- date for the vice presidential nomina- 'tion against Thomas R. Marshall.
 MT. Bryan and his fellow dove lovers," as is known, have conducted quiet propaganda against the vice president. It is said that the Commoner put the ex-governor in nomination. At any rate, when Folks name was men, tioned and the announcement made that Bryan favored his nomination, there was considerable excitement in "vice presidential" circles.
 The disclaimer" of MT. Folk, how ever, has again normalized the situa- tion Sometime ago -Marshallites suggested Newton D. Baker. The Sec retary of War instantly disclaimed the honor-and so notified the vice presi- dent

of not guilty was recorded today in the
trial of Alfred Haines., 20 years old. ac-
cused of shooting and attempting to kill
William p. Bryan, 67 years old, at the lat
ter's home. near Woodmanse, on April 20.
The trial continued for two days and at
tracted attention because of Bryan's prom
inence.
Bryan and Haines we're in the house to-
gether and while Brpan was looking over
papers, shot was fired at such close range
that powder marks were left on his neck
The bullet went through Bryan's cap and
landed against the wall.
Haines was the only person near enough
to do such shooting His defense was that
Bryan attempted suicide. He claimed that
his head was turned when the shot was fired
and Bryan had a revolver in his hand when
he looked around. Bryan admitted having a
revolver, but claimed it was in his pocket
Haines said Bryan searched him after the
shooting and satisfied himself that the de-
fendant did not have weapon to do the
shooting. Haines stayed with Bryan all
night and the next morning was arrested.

ATLANTIC. CITY, N. j.. May 24.-Com-
ment on the action OF the General Assembly
on the overtures against the New York
Presbytery are not as unanimous in tone
as the commissioners action was.
Men who have always favored that Pres
bytery construe 1t as an absolute decision
in it's favor those who made the overtures
are certain that New York has been ,dsci-
plned and they are satisfied, or seem to be,
Judge ]. Dewitt Andrews, of the New
York Presbytery, said
"The report means in effect that the Cen
eraI Assembly does not find the Presbytery
of New York guilty of such action as was
charged. and II rather warns those who
made the overtures not to rest upon rumors
but to ascertain the facts before making
such serious charges.
But 1t also enjoins the New York Pres
bytery and all presbyteries to be certain
and leave no uncertainty on the funda-
mental doctrines IF the Church so that there
can be no reason for any presbytery TO per-
nit any deviation from the doctrines Of
the Church"
