say of Bryan's attack on Wil
son: Evening World "Bryan,
rolling up his eyes at 'muinmoii
worshippers' adds to the gay
ety of at least one nation. His
utterance is the instinctive ef
fort of a political malcontent to
seize upon an issue that will
spread dissension and split the
party if possible."
Press "He will never be
able to block President Wilson 's
preparedness plan."
Times "Bryan will continue
to rage and imagine a vain
thing."
Tribune "Bryan has done
only the expected."

earnest. The contest will
principles and personalities will not en

mer Secretary Bryan are determined
to avoid even the appearance of a per
sonal breach.
It is freely predicted that each lead
er will varry his campaigu "to the
country."
The nation, through its representa
tives in congress will decide. It must
determine the lesson that must be
learned from the war in Europe
whether it teaches that the "military
prepnredness, such as the European
countries have maintained, murk for
pence and prevents war.
Some believe that the president will
be forced to seek the Bupport of some
of the republicans in his campaign for
greater preparedness to meet any pos
sible foreign aggression. These persons
profess to foresee n great non partisan
fight where party lines will be forgot

Is Friendly to Wilson,
Washington, Nov. 0. Renewing as
surnnce of his friendship for the presi
dent former Secretary of State Bryan
today followed up his attack on the
executive's preparedness program with
another statement. In this, lie declared
he has no plans made for his future
course concerning the military pro
gram. "I have no plans formulated." he
said. "I am doing what I believe to be
the duty of every citizen.
"How can the president know that
the people think unless individuals ex
press themselves! Those approving his
plan do not hesitate to express them
selves. Why should those who differ
be silent t Editors of metropolitan news
papers who daily fling incense before
special interests don't hesitate to ex
press an opinion regarding the coun
try's needs. Why should a country edi
tor liko myself be denied the j.nvilege?
Why should a democrat's friendship for
the president be questioned when he
differed with him on an issue like thir
with nothing in the history of the
couiitry or pnrty to commend it?"
"When did it becomo unpatriotic for
a citizen to (Inter with a president?
When has it become disloyal for a dem
ocrat to differ with a democratic presi
dent on an issue which he declared was
non-partisan f
"A great many think that the quar
ter of a billion dollars we are spending
is enough for preparedness and are op
posed to an inrrerso at present. The
burden of proof is "one t.iose who sny
tho increase is necessary. It will be
hard to prove in view of tho president's
statement' 'wo are not threatened and
lire friendly with all nations'; every
body knows our defense capacity and
wo are without fear."
It is believed that many bodies were
piled up when tenants of the upper
floors were cut off from escape from
down stairways because of the flames
below. The fire started on the second
floor, occupied by the Essex shirt fac
