Daniels' Threat to Suffragists Dis
turbs Leaders, Who Have Had
Same Thoughts, but Deplore
WASHINGTON, Augr. 20. President
Wilson has changed his mind as to the
form of his personal participation In
the campaign. He Is to make no coast-to-coast
speaking tour such as he con
templated two weeks ago. but will go
to danger points on Invitation as such
points may develop in the course of
the campaign.
In part, he Is to follow the plan of
the McKinley campaign of 1900, during
which President McKinley rested at
his home In Canton, O., and pilgrim
ages of Republicans were made there
to hear his speak from the porches
and the lawns of his retreat. Judge
Parker, Democratic candidate In 1904.
tried the same plan and put Esopus,
N. Y on the map for a brief period.
President to Wait at Shadow Lawn.
When Congress adjourns the Presi
dent will settle down for rest at Shad
ow Lawn. N. J., near Long Branch, and
will wait for his devoted Democratic
following to. come to him.
The Democratic political managers
throughout the country are expected
to keep the President informed closely
on the progress of the campaign and
the President will hold himself in
readiness to make special trips to such
places as in his Judgment political ad
vantage will follow his personal ap
pearance and talk.
The change of plan came aa the re
sult of reports the President is re
ceiving from friends in the states trav
ersed by Charles 13. Hughes, the Re
publican nominee.
These friends have reported to the
President that the exposure of minor
Infractions of the civil service rules
has interested them to some extent,
but responsibility for these complaints
Is not laid to the door of the President
but to members of his cabinet wh
have been his advisers In appoint
ments. The President la ffred. He has been
put to a great strain in connection
with foreign relations and In handling
the railroad Btrike situation. He wants,
to rest for a time and he feels be can
get no rest while running about the
country making campaign speeches.
Leaders'" Counsel Set Aside.
Because he does not see the necessity
for trailing Mr. Hughes over the coun
try and because be wants as much se
clusion as he can get at Shadow Lawn,
the President set aside the recommen
dation of his campaign leaders and
made his own plans for the campaign
as affecting his individual course.
He has ceased also to concern him
self with matters of detail In connec
tion with the campaign oi developing
out of it. The question of woman
suffrage, which claimed the attention
of the President for a short time, has
been shifted to others. Secretary Dan
iels sprung a surprise on the suffrage
leaders this week when he called one
of them to htm and plainly told her
that If the suffragists hoped for the
general right to vote In this country
they must keep out of the pending
campaign and not ally themselves with
either party. The, Secretary explained
that neither the Democratic nor the
Republican party, if in control of Con
gress, could deliver the equal suffrage
amendment, this requiring a two-thirds
vote, and the party defeated, if the
women helped to its defeat, would re
sent the action of the women to the
extent of blocking passage of the con
stitutional suffrage amendment in
Congress or moving tor its defeat In
state Legislatures.
Daniels Criticised for Threat.
The boldness of the attack by Mr,
Daniels on the women's party stag
gered many of the Democratic lead
ers and there is much adverse criti
cism. They are afraid the threat made
by Mr. Daniels may lead to reprisals
by the suffragists and supply the Re
publicans, who have Indorsed woman
suffrage, with a weapon to Injure the
Democratic candidates. Most of the
leaders admit they have been thinking
what Mr. Daniels put Into words, but
they wish he had not spoken.
There is much interest also in the
reported surrender of William Jen
nings Bryan of his asserted position
as dominant Zemocratle leader and his
retreat from the Mid-West to the
South, where he lsto start to rebuild
his political fortunes. Even Demo
oratlo leaders who have turned un
friendly to Bryan were hoping for
good results from his support of Pres
ident Wilson in the Mid-West states.
where his following once was large.
Should ha quit Nebraska for, good,
- has been said here on authority,
politicians say it is an evidence that
his political Influence la that state is
gone. If this Influence is dead in Ne
braska, they reason that It is dead In
all the Mid-West, and they cannot hope
tor help from him in this section.
North Carolina Politicians Excited.
There is much excitement among
North Carolina politicians, as it is
said Mr. Bryan Is to go into that state,
settle on bis. farm near Ashevllle, and
lay plans for election to the United
States Senate. This program on the
part of Bryan Is not welcomed by the
North Carolina leaders, Senators Sim
mons and Overman, neither of whom
is ready to retire for Mr. Bryan or for
anyone else.
Democratic House Leader KItchin Is
interested also In the proposed move
by Mr. Bryan. His brother. ex-Gov
ernor KItchin of North Carolina, has
had a senatorial bee for soma time
and will take advantage of iny open
ing to succeed either Simmons or Over
man. and Representative Kitchln him
self is not adverse to a promotion. Bo
Mr. Bryan may find his way blocked
for early election from North Carolina
to the teenata. Mr. Bryan has farms
also in Florida and In Texas. Hs
could not enter the latter state to
seek political preferment because for
raer Senator Joseph W. Bailey, long i
political toe. Is there to stop him
Florida offers little better prospects.
It thus seems that the passing of
Hryan as a political factor is at hand.

EMERG1G KTtO A CAPTlItED GERMAN SUBMARIXE.
Hughes, the Canadian Military Chief, recently paid a visit to the captured
at the Temple pier. General Hughes found it hard work extricating himself
mine-layer type of submarine. One of the mines can be seen on the deck of
which came in unofficial dispatches,
has caused rejoicing here and military
opinion now holds that the Friday and
Saturday gains were the most important
since the first stroke of the offensive.
The redoubt has been a thorn in the
British flank since the first day. It
threw back the storming parties with
heavy losses then and had resisd all
efforts since.
The advancing- troops had worked
around it as a pivot, until it had be
come a sharp and narrow salient. Now
that 'it has been cleared the British
lines He Just below Thlepval. The ad
vance made on the Monacu farm have
also tightened the coils around
Thiepval and will aid enormously in
the Isolation and reduction of this fort,
which is the main German stronghold
left in this vicinity. From the newly
won trenches the British artillery will
speedily dominate that town.
It is believed that the recent British
and French intensive efforts have
weakened the German moraie and
made possible the recent gains, which
are eating the heart out of the Ger
man third line. The most significant
point in General Haig's messages to
day is the fact that the Germans have
apparently lost their power of ef
fective counter-attack. They made a
single attack at the trenches near
the High wood, and this was hours
after they lost them. Around the
Leipsic redoubt no counter-attack has
been atempted.
The principle of the counter-attack
is one of the first taught In the Ger
man military textbooks. Though ear
lier In the Somme offensive they were
ready to throw in a whole army corps
for the recapture of some lost posi
tion, now they seem unable to scratch
up a brigade within the space of 24
hours.
