Son of British Baronet
Is Sim Fein Advocate;
Hopeful of Adolf. S.
ESmonde Joins Irish Mission in
Washington-Will Speak
Tonight.

Hon. Osmond Grattan Esmonde.
who last week Joined the Irish re-
public's diplomatic mission in wash
ington in the capacity OF counselor.
while the son OF a British baronet and
a descendant of those frst Norman
adventurers who put En9iand's grip
on Ireland, is one of the most ardent
and optimistic of the Sim Fein
leaders. He is arm in the belief that
the United States ultimately will act
to give his native land its freedom
and strongly opposed to any settle
ment that would not recognize its
sovereign status.
That young Mr.. Grattan Esmonde--
he is only twenty-five years OF age
should be a stanch and active sup
porter OF the Republican party in
Ireland while his father. Sir Thomas
Grattan Esmonde, for more than
thirty years has been prominent in
the ranks OF those who are agreeable
to English government, may seem sur.
prising to many Americans, but ii is
not so to those who have followed
Irish affairs closely and Is most con-
sistent with the history OF his family.
Just rs young Osmonde was oppos-
ing his father in the general election
ne declined to run against him for the
British Parliament on the Republican
ticket, so one of the family in the
days of Owen Roe O'Neill had a
similar experience. Sir Thomas Es-
monde then fought with ONeill on
the Irish side, while his father. LORD
laurence Esmonde, who had married
the daughter Of Granuslle, the
warrior queen of Connaught. fought
with the English against ONeill..
GREAT GRANDsIRE HANGED.
Again. in the revolution of 1898,
father Sir John Esmonde, was hanged
on Carlisle bridge, in Dublin, by the
English while the patriots father
fought half-heartedly on the side of
the English.
The father of the present Sir
Thomas Grattan Esmonde was a
member of Isaac Butts party for
twenty years. while Sir Thomas him
self was a member of the British Par
Lament as an adherent Of Parnell and
Redmond for thirty years.
The formation OF the Irish Volun-
teers in November, 1913, arrested the
attention of young Osmond Grafton
Esmonde, who then was only a boy,
and since then he has been actively
working for Ireland. Last year he
made a tour of the southern counties
of. Ireland, and in many of his
speeches attracted the attention of
the vigilant British agents. As a re-

James NJ. Cox, whose candidacy il is

respondent. Duncan Aikman. aboard
the candidates special train.
The Governor is quoted as telling
in detail what influences made him
progressive"
The interview opens as follows:
"Did you ever think OF the vast
number OF people who lie awake in
the world every night and wonder
why should this happen? I believe
that thinking OF this, more than any
thing else. made me a progressive"
AS newspaper editor, he says. II
came to him that many persons
fathers, mothers, wives and children
in Dayton must be lying awake al
night wondering why friends and
relatives should have been killed on
railroad grade crossings there, and
he was thus impelled to make a news
paper f1ght to have such crossings
abolished.
He then tells OF this inmost feel
ings regarding the tragic thoughts
of child laborers in mills and factories
and OF his impulses to free them.
while a member Of Congress.
Finally, he says: II fought my way
to this faith through experience.
Three great men have reinforced me

Welt. l study history through histor-
ical biography. Jefferson and Lincoln
are my favorite subjects. Theodore
Roosevelt was my highly priced
friend. Each OF them made distinct
contributions to the equalizing of the
odds between the average man and
fate. Jefferson wrote the Declara-
tion OF Independence. Lincoln put
into effect a great new humanitarian
principle whose essence, like the
essence OF his character. was common
sense. Roosevelt in 1912 led a
humanitarian crusade which already,
I believe, may have saved this nation
from disaster"

suit a warrant was issued by Dublin
Castle for his arrest. On one occa-
sion the police surrounded his fathers
castle, but did not dare to attack. He
escaped arrest, and arrived in this
country about ten days ago.
The Esmonde family is OF Norman
extraction, and came to Ireland be-
fore Strongbow. They have resided

checkered history OF Ireland.
Mr.. Grattan Esmonde speaks half a
dozen languages, and has travelled eX-
tensively in eastern Europe. He is
familiar with conditions and politics
OF this disturbed part of the world.
He served during the world war in
the Serbian army, and his younger
brother. John Grattan Esmonde, lost
his life on the British battleship In
vincible at the battle of Jutland. He
is a graduate of oxford University
and holds an honorary degree from
the National University of Ireland.
HOPES FOR ULTIMATE AID.
Explaining his belief that the
United States ultimately will give
tangible aid to the Irish Republic,
Mr.. Grattan Esmonde pointed out
that such action in behalf of op-
pressed peoples always has been
slow. He cited that Henry Clay had
to carry on an agitation in Congress
for years on behalf OF the Spanish
colonies.
''Clay won in the end" he said, "and
from what l hear OF Mr.. Mason of
Illinois, who has been conducting A
similar fight in Congress for Ire
land. I am confident he. too, will
succeed"
This most recent envoy from Sinn
Fein shows great familiarity with
the recognition policy. OF the United
States, and in that regard seems well
equipped for the work he has under
taken. He also contends that a
compromise with England would be
fatal to the interests of Ireland and
betrayal of her patriots like Lord
Mayor MacCurtain of Cork and his
successor Terence McSwiney, who
sacrificed all that their country may
take its place in the family of free
nations.
I'VE OF this generation" he said.
