A SYMBOL OF THE
WORLDS HEART

In the Red Cross museum at ma
:ional headquarters is a soilcd. worn
purse. It contains few hundred
francs. less than forty dollars. The
chaplain who sent it to the Red Cross
wrote:
"Orders had gone out for our men
70 go over the top at the zero hour.
Just before dawn one of the boys
put into my hands a purse and said,
Sir. it's all I got; if I don't came
back. give it to the Red Cross He
never came back
If it were possible for the Red
Cross to engrave one picture on the
hearts of the men and women Of
America il would be the picture OF
hat boy giving his last dollar-all
he had-p the Red Cross before he
vent oy& the top, never to come
back. If it were possible to send
hem only one message. that little
tory would be enough. That and the
words of President Wilson when he
said:
II tell you, my fellow citizens, that
he symbol of the Red Cross has come
% mean more to the world than It
ever meant before. Every time j
look at it 1 feel like taking off my hat
as If i had seen symbol OF the
worlds heart
When We realize the deeper sig
,if.cance Of the Red Cross as eSem-
alified in those two instances, we
,ealize that we are not fighting alone
% fulfill our obligations to our wound
ID men and to the war-stricken lands
# Europe, that we are not working
lone to better the social and health
conditions of our country; that these
.hings, highly important as they are,
10 not represent the most vital issue
before the Red Cross today; but that
We are working and fighting TO keep
dive the real heart and spirit Of our
Nation as. expressed in the American
Red Cross. 1t is the finest thing in
our national life today. and we. as
Americans, have been called upon to
preserve it. 1t is our duty, our re-
sponsibility, our opportunity; if we
,ail to keep it alive, there dies with It
one hope Of the world -. ....5

BRYAN SUGGESTS DEMOCRATS
 SEEK NEW CANDIDATE


 San Francisco, July 4. William J. Bryan said tonight that he considered it expedient for the convention to go out side the list of candidates already be- fore it for a nominee, and that he would suggest a number of men.
 Tt is hardy fair, for the friends of the prominent candidates to assume that the democratic party is insolvent. I shall in clude in my list the names of men from various sections of the United States. in- cluding the south I have always in- sisted that the sectional objection, like the so-called sectional advantage, is very largely over-estimated. As far back as 1896, I told party leaders that I had no objection to a southern man on the ticket with me.
 Sixteen years ago, at St Louis sec onded the nomination of Senator Cocker ell of Missouri. My theory is that the people are much more interested in the platform man stands. on than in the section in which he lives"
 In connection with his list of possible candidates. MT. Bryan mentioned Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the supreme court
 While I believe in the eleventh hour entry into the vineyard provided a man proves himself to be convent to pro- gressiveness,' said MT. Bryan, "I think that the credentials of such an aspirant ought to be carefully examined whether be comes into the party or into the field of reform"
 Mir. Bryan today was receiving visitors constantly, many of whom urged him to engage actively in the presidential con- test He reiterated to all however, that he was making no effort to organize fight either for or against any one
 T don't object to telling the good points, whether fourteen or less, of any candidate" said MT. Bryan, but refuse to share the responsibility for a man whom I consider unavailable. When delegate rushed to me with warning that if I did not help nominate MT. So and So, Mir. Blank would be nominated, I said, I do not think it wise to do wrong simply because somebody else may do so, am not responsible for anything ex- cept my vote or influence and that will not be used for any one, who, in my judgment, would be less than the most available man know among those who are candidates
 MT. Bryan declined to enter at length upon a discussion of the merits of the present candidates and contented him self with repeating his objections to Gov ernor Cox of Ohio and William c. .McAdoo.
 My principal objection to Governor Ax.' he said, lis that he Is wet and

GOMPERS COMMENTS ON
 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

San Francisco, July 4-Samuel Com pers, president of the American Feder- ation of Labor, now enroute to Wash ington, today telegraphed the Associa- : ted Press this comment on the plat form adopted by the democratic na- tional convention:
 From the viewpoint of the present impending political campaign it is too early to say anything regarding the declarations of the convention which is still in session. It will be judged by what it has declared and by whom it selects as it's standard bearer. The delegation of the American Federation of Labor which attended the conven- tion will shortly issue statement set ting forth labor's attitude toward the platform adopted"
 Mir Gompers denied published re- ports originating in San Francisco that he had commented adversely on the platform.

HARDING AT EVANSVILLE
 AFTER 12 HOUR TRIP

Zanesville, Ohio, July After being on the road nearly twelve hours, Sen ator Harding. the republican candidate for president. and Mrs. Harding reach ed here tonight from Cumberland, en- route to their home in Marion. Ohio, by automobile.
 Today's trip which covered more than 200 miles, was uneventful, with stops be- ing made only in Washington. Pa. where the senator and Mrs Harding lunched with a cousin, Robert w. Parkinson, Jr., an attorney, and at Wheeling, w. Va.
 Contrary to- his experience yesterday, Senator Harding was repeatedly recog- nized during his trip today by persons residing in the towns through which he passed.
 As the senator left his hotel at Cum berland. crowd gathered t" shake hands with him.
 !, T am for you, senator but can't vote yet" exclaimed one woman as she grasped his hand. q am inclined to think you will" responded Senator Harding.
 At Wheeling several friends met him on the outskirts and escorted him to a local hotel, where an informal reception was held lasting nearly thirty minutes. Senator and Mrs. Harding plan to leave

stance. For that reason they declared they saw little prospect of successful eff forts to fix up a ticket over Sunday. Some of these leaders. wise old campaign CTS, declared that it was next to impos- sible to deliver blocks of votes.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas, conven- tion chairman also said he saw no sign of decision between the leaders.
 But if one of them is not nominated" said MT. Robinson, "a dark horse will be chosen on Tuesday. If neither develops the necessary majority tomorrow, and I have no information tonight that indi- cates any change in the deadlock, some thing will have to be done, and look for a nomination not later than Tuesday"
 In the present situation, Senator Rob inson said, he was taking pains to have no part, because of his official position.
 Tonight Thomas E. Love of Texas, one of the McAdoo managers, issued this statement:
 We propose to press with renewed force the movement to nominate McAdoo.
 we believe the republicans at Chica- go presented us with a magnificent op- portunity for victory this fall. A hotel made nomination here will case oppor- cratic party of the privilege of contin- uing as the party of progress.
 There is more at stake here than the personality of the candidate"
 E. H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, the Cox manager. said tonight he cared to make no statement on the situation, but related an incident which he said re- fiected his confidence that Cox would be nominated within an hour and a half after the convention begins balloting to- morrow morning, and offered to make it even money that Cox would be nominat- ed within two and half hours.
 It was agreed that the winner would contribute the money to the democratic national campaign.
