MAY RUN BRYAN
ProhibitiOniStS Want Him for
Presidential Candidate.
b
Ford Might Support Him With
His Bank Roll.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 24.-National
prohibition party headquarters in Chi
cago became active today in a move
ment to adopt William Jennings Bry-
an as the candidate of the party for
president This movement was due
to Mr.. Bryan's declaration at Sara
toga Springs that if his own party
failed to recognize in its platform the
vital issue of prohibition he might
make his battle elsewhere.
The report that Bryan would be a
candidate for president on a third
ticket disturbed some Democratic poll
ticians considerably. The story circu-
lated among them was that Bryan n
was being put forward as a candi-
date on combined pacifist and pro-
hibition platform and that Henry
Ford would lend the movement his
influence and bank roll.
The Prohibition party's convention
will be held in ST. Paul on July IS.
Until Bryan's name was injected the
most discussed candidate for the
nomination was former Governor Sui
zer of New York.

PLAN FOR PEACE
Believes It's Time to
Consider Wars End.
U. s. Should Be Ready to Act
at Proper Moment.

Washington, May 24.-Prospects of
peace in Europe were discussed at the
cabinet meeting Tuesday. Considera-
ton also was given to the address the
president will deliver on Saturday be-
fore the League of Enforced Peace.
The presidents views as he will out
line them Saturday are expected to be-:
1t is not too early to consider
the part that the United States
will take in ending the war.
The attitude of the belligerents
now indicates that the initiative
toward definite peace negotiations
must be taken by a neutral nation
or nations.
Preparations for peace negotia-
tions may well be undertaken a
year before any armistice so there
shall be no delay.
Neutral nations should be
prompt to seize any opportunity
that may pave the way to peace.
No OvertureS Made.
If the president has any intimations
from the belligerent nations as to pos
sible peace terms or any suggestions
from them that the United States re-
new the tender of friendly offices they
are closely guarded.
Much credence is given to the sup
position that the president and the
pope have an understanding as to pos
sib1e cooperation or influence when
the day of peace arrives
