BRYaN'sl ATTITUDE
Conmoaer Believes Wilson VIII nun
- Second Next November

St Louis June 14-William Jen-
nings Bryan believes Hughes Will De
elected. That is the real reason De-
hind the commoner's announcement
that he will take no part in this years
proceedings of the Democratic con-
vention.
He will not even appear before the
resolutions committee to urge the va
riouI planks on prohibition, peace
and an arms embargo he is known to
favor. He considers that it would be
futile to put hurdles before a horse
that will only run second anyway.
Close friends of Mr.. Bryan dec
lare that his course would have been
different had Roosevelt been nominat-
ed. He believes that Wilson could
easily have defeated the colonel. Had
Roosevelt been the Republican can
didate, Bryan intended to force
fight for Democratic planks on the
subjects he has been advocating. Now
however, he admits that they would
be too heavy load for Wilson to
carry.
"Are you going to urge any parti-
cular planks in the platform before
the resolutions committee?" Mr..
Bryan was asked.
4 am not" he declared positively
~ have my views on these issues and
generally they are well known. I
may even think that to do some
things would be wise, and to do others
would be unwise, but l shall take no
part in the deliberations of the COM
mittee, nor shall ! attempt to in
fuence it's members. l think this year
when am not the candidate I should
respect the rights of the man who is,
and let him have the platform rep
resent his views, not those l might
think would be better, either from a
moral or political viewpoint"

HUGHES AND HIS WHISPERS
Republican Candidates Hirsute Ap-
pendage Must Not Be Attacked

st. Louis, June 14.-There are to
be no more attacks upon Justice
Hughes whiskers. There are to be
no more personalities Of any KIND.
President Wilson has sent what
amounts to "strict accountability
ultimatum to the leaders. He is not
pleased with the frivolities of some OF
the Democrats.
From what is learned he has let
it be known very positively that the
Democratic campaign, now and after
the convention, is to be one of issues,
not personalities, and the line should
be drawn at once.
President Wilson also let it b
known that the plank criticising th'
"raiding of the judiciary" by polite.
must be dropped.

ASKS FOR MARSHALL
President Wilson Sends Word That
He Wants Present Vice President
Renominated.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 1.-The ma
tional Democratic convention which
is to name Woodrow Wilson Tor
President and Thomas Riley Mar
shall for Vice President met in its
first session at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker arrived in st. Louis last night
with the platform. He brought the lntl
mate opinions of the President. Baker
announced definitely that the Presi-
dent did not want any plank denounc-
ing Hughes for deserting the Su-
preme Court to enter into the cam
paign. He also surprised the delegates
by announcing that he was for suf-
frage.
William j. Bryan promised not to
start ANYTHING. He will take the
stump for the ticket this fall, ard
promises he will let Mr.. Wilson make
his own platform without any sug-
gestion or opposition.
Led by A. Mitchell Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, an aggressive hight mas
been started against the proposed plat
form attack on Justice Hughes for
deserting his post on the Supreme
Court bench at the call of high poll
tical ambition. Palmer will carry the
fight to the floor of the convention II
necessary. Senator Stone, its spon-
sor, gave up MS fight for it yestef-
day afternoon.
AS an answer to the charges which
they believe will be made against
their candidate, the Wilson spokes-
men promise that the administration
intends to make a more aggressive
attitude against Great Britain; to
keep the United States troops IN
Mexico all the summer and to IA
vor many of the "social justice"
planks in the Progressive platform.
President Wilson has notified some
of his followers, over the long dis
tance telephone, that he wants Mar
shall as Vice-President. This virtual
ly disposes of opposition Vice Presl-
Dental booms.
The Roger Sullivan candidacy is
not to be taken seriously. A new as
pirant appeared yesterday in the per-
son of George Hughes Of Denver, who
is brought forward by the Colorado
delegates on theory that Western
man is needed ostrengthen the tick
ct, geographically. Utah is with
Colorado in support of Hughes, but
will not figure conspicuously in the
campaign.
The woman suffrage insist upon a
real suffrage plank as opposed to the
straddling declaration adopted by the
Republicans. They have told the dele
gates that the votes of ten States are
in the balance and that these will
be swung to the Democrats if they
can get national suffrage plank.
Present indications are that they will
get the same plank that was passed
in Chicago. This was admitted by
Senator Stone, who will be chairman
of the resolutions committee.

Petrograd, June 1.-THE great
struggle in Bukowha and Gallcia has
reached critical point for the Aus
trians.
Important Russian victories yes
terday on the outskirts Of Czernowltz
and along the Dniester, southeast
of Buczacz, have added greatly to
the menace against Lemberg, have
virtually assured the fall OF the fort
ress capital of Bukowina. and threat
en- to open the rich Galician plains
to the swiftly moving forces OF the
Gar.
Geaeral Brusiloff's troops. have
swept across the Dniester and have
captured practically every fortified
position in their path, including Zale
Szczyky, one of the most important
positions on that line of fortiticatlon.
In this region and to the north the
disorganzed Austrian forces are re-
treating as swiftly as the Russians
are advancing.
London, June II Lemberg. capital
OF Galicia, is threatened from threa
sides by the Russian armies under
Gen. Srusilctf, whose smashing ad-
vansc in Volhynia. Galicia and the
Eukofina continued without substan-
fial check during the last twenty
four hour, despite the German forces
rush d from the north. Field Marshal
mn .lindenburg.s apparent hauling
out fer a general offensive OH the
Pira-Dvinsk front has thus far iaI-
ct to exert any influence upon the.
Russian drive in the south.
Czernowitz, capital of the 8uko-
wilma, is being masked by the extreme
left wing of the Muscovite armies:
ard its. fall is only matter OF. hours.
Russian cavalry already is on
Snalty, twenty miles northeas. Of
i'zernowitz, according to official az
by Vienna. The Austrian war
Office also reports the presence OF
CoGsacks in Sadagora, only three
mile, northeast of CZernowitz.
The Zale Szczyky point of support,
and one of the most important posi-
tions on the Dniester line of fortl-
fcations, also comes within the zone
now threatened by the extreme south
ern flank of the Russian forces, and,
surrounded as it new is by the advan-
cling Russians. it is nan equally crl-
tical situation.
The two other most important sec
tors of the front. extending from
Pripet River to Roumania, are the
fegion south Of Lutsk and north Of
Tarnopol. From the reports Of the
precipitate Austrian retreat from the
former region it is inferred here that
the Austrians were compelled to re-
linquish their most important position
on the Ikwa front--the Torgovltsa
fortification, which is located at the
junction of the Ikwa and Styr Rivers.
The occupied position is of the
greatest strategic value.
