If reports current at both ends OF
the capitol are true, New Jersey can
be depended upon to roll up one of
the old fashioned Republican major
tiles at the coming November cleo
tions. During the Easter week vaca-
tons, many prominent residents of
that state paid visit to Washing
ton and called on various members Of
the New Jersey delegation, In Re
publican circles they all brought the
same news. 1t was the fact that there
was much dissatisfaction with the
present administration in that state.
One prominent manufacturer told a
member of congress that in the town
where he lives, he knows personally
of at least 200 Democrats who voted
for Wilson in 1912, who are going
to support the Republican candidate
for president at the election in No

BRYAN TO WILSON.

In the May issue of the Commoner
William j. Bryan makes the fol
lowing reply to the Chicago Tribune
which pointed out that in the last
presidential election the total Pro
gressive-Republican vote was 1,300,-
900 greater than the Democratic vote:
at is just as well to look the facts
in the face. The Republican party
if united, can enter the campaign
with a popular majority of 100000
votes on its side. AS portion Of
this majority is made up of large
majorities in few Republican states
our party's handicap is not quite as
great as it appears, but it is still
enough to compel serious considera-
ton.
"ro the normal Republican advan-
tage must be added the disaffection
among German and Irish Democrats.
Without attempting to decide wheth-
er the president was wise or unwise
in taking the course that alienated
them, the party is confronted with
the fact that this alienation will cost
it large number of votes-enough
to defeat the party in several close
states.
"From what source can we draw
the number of recruits necessary to
give the party a fighting chance :?
From one source and from one source
only, namely, the peace element of
the Republican party; we can not
draw votes from the war element.
"There is a peace element in the
vote cast for Henry Ford in Michi-
gan, Nebraska, and other states. This
is the only element to which the Dem
ocratic party can appeal, and to ap-
peal to this element it will be neces-
sary to do more than has yet been
done. If any considerable number of
Republicans felt friendly to the presi-
dent they would have shown it by
writing his name as their choice when
they expressed themselves at the pri-
mary.
"lf this element is to be concili-
ated it must be done by move to-
ward peace. The opportunity is here

of its reasons for doing so its un-
Willingness to be responsible for ex-
tending or spreading the war. 1t
refers to the fact that it has twice
expressed desire to consider terms
of peace. The way is open, will the

portunity? Failure to secure peace
would bring no humiliation, while sue
cess would be a tremendous advan-
tage to him politically, as we'll as a
blessing to this country and the en-

Hundreds of friends assembled at

to the memory of Arthur Pulliam
and extend their quota of sympathy
to the heart broken parents and sis

scores of high school boys and girls,
county officers, members of the Bar
association and hosts of friends in
all walks of life. During the SER
vice the county court house offices
were closed and the flag over the
city hall placed at half mast. The
beautiful white casket was banked
and covered with magnificent floral
offerings, each attesting to the esteem
in which this very promising young

were Lee Ayres, Frank Nelson, Mark
