Announces Candidacy To 1 San

Old-Line Platform
Washington, Feb. .15.-r-Vlce Presi
dent Marshall, in a If tter to E. G. Hoff
man, of Fort Wayne, Ind., secretary
0f the democratic national committee.
made public tonight, announced his
candidacy as a delejate-at-large from
Indiana to the coming San Francisco'
convention upon" "an old-time demo
cratic platform." 1 '
ITnbridled Democracy '
'I have watched In other countries
the effects of so-called unbridled de
mocracy," the vice president' wrote,
"and I have seen its menace n this
tountry, until I am quite convinced
that the peace, prosperity and per
petuity of the American republic must
rest finally upon a few ancient and
time-honored democratic doctrines."
In view of political gossip tlarat Vice
President Marshall is slated to be
come chairman of the democratic
platform committee, his letter was
read with especial interest by officials
here. c ' .
"Another Presidential campaign im
pends," Marshall wrote. "Thus far
the President, who is the chief of our
party, has not deemed It expedient
tc express his opinion as to" what the
is:ues will be. As I am desirous of
being a delegate-at-large from the
state of Indiana, I wish, in consonance
with what I 7iope b.as been my entire
public career,- to state the substance
of what I think; the democratic jarty.
should stand for. I would not ? want
to go under any misapprehension " as
to my views upon the part-of the un-feltoini-
'democrats; of Indiana." .r.rr
Rehabilitation ot America
"We were in the war . 'from the
very moment of Its European begin
ning, because it affected bur Internal
affairs. All the methods and means
adopted for the preservation of the
peace of our country nd the inning
of the war met with nr." approval, and
I am ready to defend them The war
is now over, and the rehabilitation of
America, as well', as the rest of - the
world, is taking place. It is not pos
sible to accomplish our rehabilitation
other than through the instrumental
ity of political parties. How shall the
democratic party propos to rehabili
tate the political system of America
if entrusted with power, is the ques
tion. -"I have wattfied in other countries
the effects of so-called unbridled de
mocracy, and I have seen its menace
In thisr country, until I am quite con
vinc!a that the peace, prosperity and
perpetuity of the American republic

LABOR WILL IffAGE
UAIPAM AGAINST
HIGH LIVING COST
Government Criticized For Its
Alleged Failure To Control
V 7 : Profiteers
"ACTION AND RELIEF"
DEMANDED BY UNIONS
Labor Federation Will Engage
Aggressively In Coming Po-
litical Campaign
Washington, Feb. 15.- Formulation
of a definite program as a basis on
which to continue its campaign against
high living costs has been initiated by
railroad labor, It was disclosed tonight
by union officials.. While the wage de
mands of the two million railroad
workers, which have held .official atten
tion since Feb. S, will be held in tem
porary abeyance at the request of the
president, there is no disposition on
the part of union leadeTs to regard
their work as complete or to await al
together a final decision on the whole
wage controversy to be given by the
conference of general committee men
to be held here Feb.-23." '
. Uatoat Officials Attitude. '
The attitude of the union officials,
while they expressed gratification at
the recognition of certain of their prin
ciples by President Wilson, is predicat
ed on an apparently: general .belief
among , them that the government . has
"not held together in any of its drives
on the "high cost of living spectre."
Much criticism ' was 4 directed at con
gress and heads of executive depart
ments during the recent wage nego
tiatlons, leaders said. - The general ;
feeling of railroad labor was express
ed in this' question," asked by a union
official who has carried Its grievances
throughout the entire negotiations:
"Are we" as Americans to admit we
cannot control the profiteer?"
The' program under consideration
will in no way run counter to the plan
of the American Federation of Labor,
which' has announced .. its . intention of;
engaging aggressively in the coming?
political campaign. With this railrcad
union leaders said they were for, it in
complete accord. . They proo-Se-, how- -ever,'
ah" ampltficatldiiP of sluO. an. addi
tion to the policies outlined toy Samuel j
Gompers, federation president, with
the purpose of "benefitting all of the
people ' while helping labor." ,
There was no indication of the ex
act form which the program will take.
It can be stated, however, that It will
contain recommendations to Congress
which all pf organized labor will be
counted on to support. " Union heads
said they desired to have their ideas
worked -out comprehensively for sub
mission to the general conference next
week.
Demand Action and Relief.
Intimation also was given that a
plea was to be made to the more de
termined of the railroad union mem
bers, who have relentlessly demanded
"action and relief." Some of the conr
servative leaders seemed to feel that
the President's proposition to create a
commission of wage experts, and then,
either by his own action or by law,, to
constitute a wage tribunal for aeanng
with the . union claims, might not en
tirely meet' approval of their member
ship. , The program ' they have taken
up. therefore would fortify the union
heads against the pressing of demands
which some declared would be unwise
at this time.

Mr. Bryan saysr he does not attempt
to dictate, ..-but merely summarize his

Mr. Bryan declares he has no dispo

migiu- be divided, "but there are cer
tain planks which will be in the plat
form as a matter of course. These,
I am willing to mention." .
indorse Administration
"There will be a plank endorsing, the
President's administration" Mr." Bryan
said, "not that every member of the
ministration has none; not . - that a.
majority of the convention will en
dorse everything that has been done,
but it has been a great administration
and the democrats of the nation would
not think t of entering the campaign
on a repudiation or .upon a platform
silent on that subject.
The. platform will contain a plank
in favor of proMbition as the perma- f
nent policy of the country and our
candidate will be pledged to. the strict

Lansing's enforced resignation contin
ues to hold the attention of official
Washington, and all the talk araoni
politicians, members of congress ano
government officials continue to cen- '
ter about it." Gossip as to the probable '
successor to the former secretary of
state vis ever subordinated : to discuss
ion of the sensational climax to" the
strained relations between President
Wilson and the former - secretary of ,
state, which now are known . to have
been in - existence more than a. year.'
Such terms as "a crisis" In the cab
inet are frequently used and in a sense
find color in the frank' acknowledg
ment of Secretary Lane that' he was
equally - responsible for- the meetings
to. which the President ; objected, but '
the best Information available indi
cates that there Ija no crisis, in the
sense that more secretaries, are likely
to resign; in fact,-it has been stated
at the White House that no more res- "
Ignations- are expected as a result of
the incident., , A . i v ,

ed, with opponents of the peace treaty -suporting
"Mr. Lansing's "position and

the constitution. So far it is alK in ' '

no one but the President himself and
three . or . four t, persons most closely
around him can answer .such a ques
tion specifically, but is being pointed
out ln : discussion of the Incident that
reports of ' the cabinet meetings have
been printed regularly in the news
papers; that it has been . stated at the
White House that the President read
the' papers .evry , day, and that in
some instances at least official action
which the President took on some sub
jects was , after those subjects had"
been discussed at' the cabinet confer

Merely An Incident -
r Persons who' are well Informed of'
what has been going on in the' inside
ot- the administration hold ' to their
belief that the cabinet meetings were
9nly ap incident, and that President -Wilson-
himself in -one 'of his letters
to Mr. Lansing referred to other , and '
more important reasons when he wrote '
that the cabinet meeting incident only
strengthened a feeling he nad had for ;
some time,, and that for some months '
he bad found the. secretary of , state
yielding to his - decisions- with more
and more reluctance. ( , ,
The affair is expected to probably '
come up In congress, again tomorrow. '
Mr. Lansing , meanwhile has denied
himself to all callers. . It understood
he may spend a short vacation In
Florida oefore going to his . home in

. Polk. Ia First Choice .
Speculation as to Mr. Lansing's suc
cessor continued to Involve the nams
of Frank . L. Polk, who yesterday be- .
?me secretary ad interim by virtue of
his office as counsellor of the state de-
partment; Secretary of War . Baker,
John; w. Davis, ambassador to Great
Britain, and Hugh C. .Wallace, ambas
sador to France. . 7 , :
Although Mr., Polk was among those
most often mentioned there .was noth
ing to indicate any change from his
known determination to return to pri-.
vate life and the practice of law. The '
speculation brought forth the ' sug
gestion that perhaps the. President
might transfer Mr. Baker; to the state,
department, - as , was done recently in
the case of David F. Houston from the
department of agriculture ' to ., the
treasury department. , .
Official intimation was given tonight
that. Mr. -Lansing's successor 'might be
appointed before the end of the week,
even though it was said there was "no
hurry about it," as Mr. Polk can serve
as secretary ad interim 'for a period '
of thirty days. ' f ' .
