BRYAN IS FOR
RESIGNATION
OF PRESIDENT
Says Marshall Should
Take Office Harding
Secretary of State.
e.4oro ~ coo ooe~sA~.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-United Press.)
Jennings Bryan. here to-
day, suggested that, as a result of
the election, President Wilson re-
sign Immediately, allowing Vice
President Marshall to assume the
Office.
Marshall, Bryan said, should ap-
point President-elect Harding as
secretary of state and then also re-
sign when congress meets in De-
cember in order to allow Harding
to start carrying out his program
Immediately. -
The laws regulating succession
to the president would put Harding
in the presidents chair il the pro-
gram was carried out and Marshall
resigned.
1.-THE people voted against the
Wilson league and for the associa-
ton of nations endorsed by the Re-
publicans." said Bryan in an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press.
1T would seem proper, therefore,
that the president accept that ver-
dict and aid in carrying it out by
resigning at once. He surely will
find no pleasure in combating Re-
publican congress. It would also
enable Vice President Marshall to
become president for short time,
an honor which he has we'll earned
Marshall then should support
Harding as secretary OF state and
offer his own resignation when the
congress meets in December. The
laws regulating the succession
would then make Harding president.
and with Republican congress to
support him he could carry out the
Republican plan of international
cooperation.
Bryan declared that he knew
nothing Of any proposed conference
Of proposed Democrats to plan a
Democratic program.
VIII Be Conference.
There is no doubt. however. but
that there will be q conference
when the Democrats have . chance
to get together" he said.

the election would show such . con-
ference that the leaders Of the
party would have to change its pro-

I'm fact. there is no disposition

excessive advantage Of the railroad
is marked sentiment in the entire
building material market toward
bearing the price Of building COM
modities. 1t has even been proposed
by certain building material dealers
to fix the price Of Hudson common
brick in this market for a period
from September 1 to November 1, at
$50 per 1000, wholesale. Other deal
ers. however, point out that there is
nothing to be gained by thus manipu-
lating the market because the reac-
ton that will occur when the Off
brick. that will be pushed for sale
during the $40 period. is disposed Of,
will only be to greatly accentuate
the value of the better grades that
will be held back until the demand
here becomes sufficiently great to alb
sorb them. There is a growing feel
ing that there will be $3.50 brick
market before next spring. Good
brick is even now being held for
SIS
THE big. strong factor marking
the close of the "spatter days" is that
there is the nearest approach to a
stabilized building material market
that this section of the country has
seen in over two years. Conservative
buyers, as well as sellers, do not hesi-
tate to say they deplore artificial
stimulation Of the market when this
years current manufacturing costs
are still unknown.
