BRYAN TO NAME PARTY PLANKS
Again Scores Wet Forces Favors Suffrage and Endorses Wilson. Iiy Asstf iat-d Pre: CLi:Vi:U.VL. O.. Feb. he Piuln Dealer tomorew vri'A publl&li an interview with William Jennings Rry'ar, obtained by its staff correspondent in Miami, Fla., in which the former democratic candidate for pr-sident names tho principal planks he hepes ""tV see incorporated with the democratic national platform at the .San Francisco convention. Mr. Hryan 0 he do"s not attempt to dictate but merely sumar-lr.-s his beliefs and opinions u. a result of hia studying the political pulse. He place the more important planks in the following order: Indorsement of the administration of Pres't Wilson. National prohbjtion. Woman miffragc. Opposition to enforced military training. Oppo-ltlon to profiteering. Taxation. Labor problems. Political ownership. Mr. HryaJ" practically predicted elimination of Gov. Kdwards of NewJersey, and toldler candidates on both side for the presidential nomination. He declares he has no disposition to BUKj?e?Jt in advance planks on which the democratic convention irusht be divided, "but there arc certain planks which will be in the platform as a matter of course. These I am willing to mention." Riidorm Wilson. "There will be a plank endorsing the president's administration," Mr. Hryan said, "not that every member of the party endorses everything tho administration ha done; not that a majority of the convention will indorse everything that hius been done, but it has been a great administration and the democrats of the nation would not think of entering the campaign on a repudiation or upon a platform ilent on that subject. "The platform will contain a plank in favor of prohibition as the permanent policy of the country and our candidate will be pledged to the Ftritt enforcement of the law in letter und spirity. Fjvery state controlled hy the democrats ha ratified the national prohibition amendment. It is inconceivable that the democratic party should defy the conscience of the nation on this subject after having1 contributed so largely to the prohibition victory. Scores Wets. "There being three states recorded in opposition to rational prohibition, we probably shall expect that our candicate for president shall be selected from New Jersey and our candidate for vice president from Connecticut or Iihode Island in case our convention goeH wet. Rut we would not be sure of carrying those thre states because conscience may break out there before election. "Those who talk about a wet plank in our platform do not -have an interest in a democratic victory. "The platform will strongly declare for woman suffrage and the convention may he expected to propose effective reir.edies, national, state and local, for profiteering and his old brother the trust." Mr. Hryan thought it safe to say that the party will declare against a return to a protective tariff, and will endorse the income tax. OI1om II ig Business. "That i?. the democratic party will oppose the plan of big business on this subject," ho said. "Hig business and the men of great wealth, the Influence that dominates the republican leaders, will try to shift the burden of taxation on to the backs of the poor. "Labor' questions will occupy a large place in our platform. I have no doubt the party will defend the right to organize and to peaceably persuade; declare In favor of an eight hour day: favor the right of lective bargaining. also hope the democratic party will declare In favor of tho creation of machinery for the investigation of all disputes between employer and employe, that differences may be settled before by reach strike or lockout stage. "It is impossible at this time to iy how far the convention will go in applying the plea for monopoly of the telegraph, telephone and ralload problems. "It is certain the convention will "eal with many other subjects like good roads, the middleman and propositions regarding the farmer. DE A THS F.DWAIUJ .1. THORNTON". Kdward J. Thornton. 4T,7 1-2 E.

On A Salary By Izola Forester
"I came Ju5t as soon as I was able; but, of cours. I had no idea really how matters stood." Mrs. Vernon Ripsby paused somewhat nervously and looked at th" self-possessed young terson behind the long, narrow center table. Thero was a very attractive display on the table choice laces and embroideries, and some exqubdte bits of Chinese handiwork, carved Ivory fans and perfume-holders, and odd llttl" squt Images. The tapestried walls were- hare of ornament or display. Oyer the Louis Quinze chairs were thrown a few rare , shawls and Mandarin coats. In one corner a high Manchu jar held a shaggy mass of tawny chrysanthemums, deep wine color, gold edped. "Florrle wrote me about it." she went on, in her .soft, half-hesitating voice a voice that held a pUirtlve appeal in it, as if its owner were perpetually throwing herself on the heari'H mercy. "I presumo she considered it her duty to cr to me. "Yes?" said Anne, encouragingly. "I am so sorry you had the long journey, Mrs. Rigsby." "Oh. I don't mind, if if it'H not too late. Do you think it Is. my dear? He perfectly frank with me." Anne emllcd, glanced at the little green leather-encased clock over on her de.sk, and sat down. "Let's be comfortable while we talk. It'a early yet for any of my customers to he stirring." Mrs, nitrsby looked around her appraislngly. "You have a very dainty little phop." "It's hardly that," answered Anne, smiling. "I have a morning disrlay twice a week here and over at the Ponce de Leon. I represent a New York house." "Oh, yes. certainly." said Mrs. Rigsby, rather vaguely. Florrie had said the young peraon that Courtney was Interested in kept a shop or something:, down at Palm Beach. She had not epeclfted what sort of shop. "You pe-11 things for them? It's so clever of you; and you ar? young, too, aren't you? T was half afraid you might be over 2?, and a widow, don't you know?" Anne flushed slightly at the personal touch, but sho kept her head. She had not been looking forward to this situation for a week without some mental preparation. "I am 26. rs. Rigsby." "Are you. really? You look younger. And I don't mind admitting one bit, my dear, that you are wonderfully attractive. Courtney always did have good taste. It's such a relief to find you as you are, don't you know." "I suppose so." Anne assented gently. After all, even if she did put one on a psychological pin point, so to srtak, for analysis, she was Courtney's mother. "Somehow, though. 1 felt that I could come to you and speak directly, and that j'ou would understand. Courtney seems to be in love with you. but. oh, my dear, if you only knew Courtney as I do! He- is the most irresponsible boy alive. He doesn't know hlsj own mind two minutes at a time. How far has it gone? Is it Jurt a flirtation, or has it got to the proposing stage?" Anne laughed at this, remembering Courtney's desperate struggle for expression when he ha el reached the "proposing stage." It had been etulte two weeks ago. She had deftly held him at arm'B length. It was not altogether a pleasant experience, being wooed by the most eligible young man at the resort; especially as she wanted the good will of all the women, who might turn out possible customers. Hut Courtney had put up a splendid chase. lie had not deggcd her footsters nor worried her during her business hours. Hut he had found her down on the golf links after four, and after :t game they had taken a lone, restful stroll back to the hotel. Then he had found that she loved to ride, and every morning, before the hotel was fairly astir, there IioaI been two horsen waiting, and a swift, gorgeous run down the beoch and back before bre-nkfast. "You know, Anne," he had said, back in those first happy, unconscious weeks of their acquaintance, "I don't think I'm Roing to fall in love this time, honestly I don't. It's Htich a bully comradeship, this affair of ours, don't you know, and the minute you start In making love you always lose a good pal. You're not in love with me, are you?" "Not in the least," Anne had assured him merrily. Then there had come a day when her horse had taken fright on the bluff road. She had not realized at first that it was actually running away, until it swerved from the road and started over the rolling downs, straight for the edge of the bluffs. It wa a sheer drop of hundreds of feet to the rock below. Just for an instant a wave of sickening dread had swept over her as she thought of tho plunse downward, and then Courtney had seized her bridle and it was all over. Wh"n he had brought her itorse to a standstill, iremblinK and covered with foamlike hoarfrost on flanks and shoulders, she had slipped down into hH arms in sheer lelief. There had not even been words, or the reed of them. He had held her close to him. shuddering and unnerved, and jut for once she had been glad to feel another's strength. For many years she had depended on herself. And aft"r that it had all come about naturally their realization that llfe' particular meaning for them m'ant love and companionship. "Hut you'll have to be mighty sweet and tatint with me. pal of mine." Courtney hail told her. "I've been a pet all my life, while you. ss you. have be en a work-r. If my fathtr had I've 1 t er haps it would have been different, but. you know, love can weaken where it Is misdirected. The m iter loves me to death, but she's always given me mv
way. And she hasn't believed in me. Anne. That's what I love about you. You do believe in nv When I'd start telling mother some of my ideas and what I would like to do to be of some use in the world anil get a grip on life, she'd tell me not to worry her: to run along and be a sooil boy; that everything was provided for. Hut Just wait until she knows you. Anne. t am going to 'write and tell her all about everything one of these days." "Maybe ihe won't like me. Cort." Anne naid wistfully. "She'd better had." There was a dopged look em Courtney's face. That had been several weeks ago. Netw, as Ann" looked at the face of his mother she felt a curious, almost amused, sense of helplessness. She hael nil of Courtney' charm and gool looks, feminized, all of his appeal to one's sympathy. Sho did not wait for Anne's answer, but went on without seeing Courtney figure In the distance, walking briskly up from the board-walk. "You see, if you w?re a different kind of girl I never could make you understand, but you have been in business and earned yottr own money. Courtney has never earned a cent in his life. He always runs over his income, and I make it up every year. His father left money In trust. If he marries, well how could one say it? Judiciously the principal reverts to me and to his slater." Courtney entered the door behind her, anel only Anne saw his quick, happy grin of recognition before his arms closed around his mother. "Has she told you?" he psked happily. "We. were married four weeks ago, and Anne has taken me into partnership with her. I am a regular salaried man, mother general sales manager for this end of Florida with her Hoston firm. T never knew how good a check looked before that you had earned yourself. I surpose Anne told you, though." Mrs. Rigsby met Anne's brown eyes v.ith a long, startled look of appeal an appeal to her tact and womanliness not to betray her real mission south, and Anne smiled. "We understand each other perfectly, Cort," she tald gently, "and I know your mother Is glad, for your sake, that everything was t.ettled before she came." Mrs. Rigsby gave a quick little sigh of relief and took off her glasses to give her daughter-in-law her first kiss.
