The strict censorship imposed by
General Funston prevails in his own

The talk among army officers and
their wives, however. she says. re-

she. that the troops came and went

Friend Of Bryan Would Carry
Out Provisions Of Baltimore
Platform.
DOESN'T APPLY TO WILSON
Candidate Bound Merely to
Principle Of Plank, Says
Author of Amendment.

A Joint resolution for a constitutional
amendment limiting the service OF the
President and Vice President to single
term OF six years is sponsored today ny
Congressman Warren Worth Bailey.
Pennsylvania Democrat. who Is recog-
nized as a close personal and political
friend Of william jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bailey says, however. that his res
olutIon was not prompted by the former
Secretary of State, and that he intro
duced 1t without suggestion from any
one.
Neither is tho resolution to be con-
strued as being directed at President
Wilson" said Mr. Bailey. THE renomi-
nation of the President is now assured,
and no one can claim that this resoiu-
ton is offered to embarrass him.
Didn't Apply 10 Nominee.
I'm fact, am able to say that 1t was
never intended that the one-term plank
should apply to the President. Reports
that Mr.. Bryan intends to raise the one
term issue against Mr.. Wilson at st.
Louis are unwarranted. Mr.. Bryan has
never had an intention of that sort.
'''rhe truth is, that Mr.. Bryan. at the
Baltimore convention. rejected the idea
that the one-term plank should be made
to apply to the nominee of the conven-
tion. When II was suggested that we
bind the candidate of the convention not
to serve moro than one term Mr.. Bryan
himself interposed an objection.
He argued we should not bind our
candidate to the single term, but
rather to the principle of the single
term The difference was that Mr..
Bryan thought the Presidential single
term should be longer than four years
and this change had not been worked
out. A four-year term. Mr.. Bryan
properly commended, was insufficient
for President to put into effect his
program.
Bound Only to Principle.
'The upshot of 1t was that the plank
as written binds the candidate to the
principle of the single term and did
not restrict the candidate to a term
of only four years. When the one
term plank was written IL was not
known who would be the nominee and
there was nothing personal In it,"
Mr.. Bailey. who was n member of the
says that he knows from what occur
rcd In the committee, room and SUISSE
Quent private conversations with Mr..
Bryan that the latter does not seek to
prevent the denomination OF the Presi-
dent By raising the cne-term issue.

Senate early In i9l2 and referred to the

this decision. The copies OF the play

Contrary Mary is a delightful
comedy with plenty of wit and hum
or about it. The chief characters are
husband and wife, the latter being
the one for whom the play is named.
She is young lady with notions OF
her own about the management of
household, chief of which is that the
husband should offer all the money
needed to his wife On the other hand,
her husband has the idea that she
should ask for the money which she
wants and is looking forward TO the
time when she shall do so. Instead,
Mary borrows money right ana lett I'M

SOCIETY SECURES
MORE Than $1,000
Modern W0Odmen of America Makes
Excellent Showing in First Month
of the Present Year.

Head Clerk Mcnamara today gave
out the official figures for new bust
ness written by the Modern Woodmen
of America for the month of January,
showing that during the month Al new
camps were chartered and a total OF
S,264 new benefit certificates issued.
Officials of the society state that this
is the best January showing in five
years and is the second consecutive
month in which the total issues of GER
tifcates has exceeded 5000. By way
of comparison, the statement of jan
uary business for the last five years
is subjoined, the figures indicating the
number of new benefit certificates
written for each of the months listed.
January, 1912 ..................5 1888
January, 1918 .................2, 207
January, 1914 ..................2 ,755
January, 1915 1874
January, 1916 Observation-Disclosures ,264
1t is anticipated that camps and
deputies will add at least 100000 new
members to the roster in 1916, which
would mean an increase of % per cent
over the business secured last year.
If the months still on the calendar re-
spond as enthusiastically as January
has done, that is, simply using the fig
ures for the same month of the pre-
ceding year as basis of comparison,
the goal fixed will be easily attained.
