WRIGHTMAN IS NOT CANDIDATE Position on County Judge Situation 1$ Explained in Statement F. T. Wrishtman. who some time ago- announced .his. candidacy for county judge following tfie circula tion of petitions which; were sirncd by large numbers of his friends, yes terday announced that hey" has with drawn. His decision to be a candi date was with .the Understanding that Judge Hushey would not be -a candidate for re-election, bat since then Judge Bushey has decided to run.

Says Secretary NEW YORK. March 1 6. fjosephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, the chief speaker at the annual banquet of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, here tonight, held up the career of John Barry, an Irishman, and the first commissioned rapt a in of the American navy, as an illustrious ex ample of loyalty to an adopted coun try. He declared that there was ho place in this, country for any person with divided allerlance. Paid conspirators who have r3-' ceived money or-other forms of prof it for spreading (propaganda against I the United States were unfavorably compared by Mr. Danielj with Judas Iscarlot, who, he said, was decent enoueh to end hts own life. "The intrigues and- conspiracies that have been uncovered In- recent months," the secretary of the navy said, "have -revealed the fact that men bearing the honorable' inm of Ameriacn were Its worst fes.' but their njimber has not been la'rge and exposure has taught these two good lessons: "First, that it is impossible to hide treason and disloyalty, and sec ond, that .the day has arrived when men who enjoy the privileges of America must renounce allother al legiance. There is no ulare in thf eountry today for any man who is not ready to give all he has and all he. hopes to be to bring victory to American arms. . "The sniea and traitors and ene mies of America, who have prosper ed here ia her hosoitablf surround ings." continued Mr. Daniels, "nmst read their condemnation in the vig orous language tf Barry. The only difference between them and Juda Iscarlot is-that- Judas had the de cency to go and hang himself. Our latter dy betroyers seem resolved thaTthe man who presides over the electric chair shall administer to them the fate which the better Jndas administered to himself." . Senator Jme; Hamilton Lewis, speaking of international problems to follow in the fwake of the war, said that the United States had but two international problems 'the Monroe doctrine and the Asiatic ex clns'on laws.- " "Had we escaped being drawn in to the war Prussia is making on civ ilization," he said, "we would have Lhad to fight sooner or later to de fend the Monroe doctrine In Europe or the Asiatic exclusion in Asia." 1, . .

LABORASKED TO STOP WORK NOT WAR NECESSITY McAdoo , Answers Protests That Building Activities t Are Curbed WAR HAS RIGHT OF WAY Work in Shipyards Cited as Patriotic Duty to Help Government WASHINGTON. March Sec retary ' McAdoo today called on American labor not to Vbleet if the nation's war policy of corwwrvin? credit results in curtailed building operations, but to seek some other kind of employment if necessary a a patriotic duty. In a letter to Samuel f!nm?o'-s, president of the American Federa tion of .Labor. answering a protest by the building tradr-s conncil of San Francisco and other labor un ions against shutting down of build ing nuttl after the war, Secretary McAdoo said: "Men pre needed to build ships, to build. Iioreg to house men work-i ing in' the .'shipyards.; to erect plant to produce war material, to run our railroad?, to ooerate war industries and to produce food reepd red by the allies anfi oarselves. These needs are already great and will increase, not lessen, as the war progresses. If our wage, earners are unable to fird employment for which ihey are best fitted and which they would prefer, or if they, are unable to find em ployment where it would be most convenient for them to work, the opportunity is presented to reudrr a most patriotic service in this period of national stress by seekine other klndl of employment, and. if need be, moving 'to other districts where work Is to be had.", The secretary explained that the government does not seek to pre vent building of home and other Structures which are absolutely needed, but it encourages the post poning of bnilding operations which pre' rot required to protect the health or provide for the com fortable seeds of. our people, or to supply facilities fori the proper con duct of business essential to the suc cessful prosecution of the war." The secretary's letter was made publle; together -with one from J. B. Densmore. director of the United States employment servi-e. to Paul M. Warbarg. chairman of the federal reserve board's rapital. issues com mittee, 'saytrrer the department, of la bor would assist workment In find ing employment In other occupations or Other disrtjicts. la the letter to Mr. Gompert, Sec retary McAdoo said: "As you know, I have no authority to direct that building operations be curtailed. I have merely suggested that unnecessary work of that kind be postponed until the end of the war. Soclx postponement would, I am sure, fcelo win the war, but ev ery patriotic : man must be deter mined by his own conscience in th matter and must decide fsr himself if be can post none the erection of a contemplatedbuildrng until the war is over. The situation must be view d from a national and not frm a local standpoint. V "The nreat financial operations or the government make it essentisl that every. mnecessary expenditure by the government, by the states and municipalities and by privat corporations5 and Individual b? avoided whfle the war is in'progres..'j "There? must be no slackers 1$ Wall street.' laone In the Jiom'es. none on the farmr none-in our ladtif trien.
