Charles Wayland Bryan of Nebraska, Democratio candidate for Yice President, has achieved much political fame and is probably as widely known as the average man who aspires to that office. He is known as a student of politics—part- 1v as a result of the great files of index cards which he started com- piling long ago. giving data on Re- Dublicans as well as Democrats.

On the morning following his noti- fication he was found in his office at the capitol in company with Charles E. Hull of Salem, 1ll, mer- chant, banker and former member of the Tlinois Legisature, a neighbor and boyhood friend. who came to attend the notification. There is a story about a bull that plaved some in his young life on the farm nea Salem. = As the story is told, thi bull had gored and killed two driving horses owned by young Bryan and bad injured two others. Bryan was wrought up. He borrowed a meat saw from a butcher, tied the bull by the head to a manger in a log stable and, while several men tremblingly watched from the hay loft, the youth sprang astride the animal, got a firm hold with his legs and while holding on to its neck with one arm sawed off—no, not its head, but its horn It w. the first record of dehorning in Illinois.

A. C. Shallenberger, now Rep- resentative from the fifth Nebraska district. “No, 1 did not,” answered Gov. Bryan, casting a glance of suspicion at the congressman, with whom he has had some political difference. As a result of his intense activity Gov. Bryan has acquired a lively set of opponents at home, but it is said of these, “They have kicked him up- stairs” When he left the city coun- cil, where he had once served as mayor, his associates in office adopted a resolution indicating pieasure at his transfer from the city hall to the governor's chair. That was the first propulsion toward the top of the stairs. When Gov. Bryan went to New York. ostensibly to capture the nom- ination for President, his political op- ponents in the State capitol wished him well, sincerely hoping he would capture something that would take him away from the chief executive office, where he is naturally the dom- inant figure. On the other side, he had well wishers among the people of his home State, who had elected him governor in 1922 by a majority of 50,300, which is the largest ma- jority ever given any Governor of Nebraska. Fights for Under Dog. When asked to define his political philosophy, Gov. Bryan said: T spent a lifetime in the effort. to prevent the stronger mem- bers of soclety from imposing upon the weaker. That has been my cen- tral thought—trying to improve con- ditions of the common people, to pre- vent any grounds for unrest, to make government responsive to public will and public needs, make it so honest and fair and equitable to all concern- ed that the government will be sup- ported through love in place of fear. “If the common people and wage earners cari be made to realize by ex- perience that any political and ad- ministrative wrong could be righted through Government, there will be no I. W.

Bryan Is heralded as a man who is a student of governmental problems and hak devoted 25 years in devising legislation and administra- tive remedies for abuses in municipal, State and National Government. What does such a man read? I asked him that question. “I read no books,” he said. “T have no time and in addition the strain of constant reading affects the nerves of my eyes. eight years I have taken an active part in politics, and my reading is largely confined to; the daily press and a few perfodicals. For 22 years I was in the newspaper business. 1 have been keeping up with current history and helping make it. In the past 15 years I have accepted no in- vitations to speak except when I thought I could help remedy some governmental or business abuse.” The first President of the United States is sald to have shunned the reading September 30 In the past twenty-|& of newspapers. Gov. Bryan reads nothing else but. His friends say the only magazines he reads are two which review current events. To save his time and eyesight, secretaries em- ployed by him scan the newspapers and mark articles which they believe he may care to read. These articles are almost invariably political. Pack- ets of newspapers thus marked with blue pencil go daily to the governor’'s desk.

The model that will be most popular this season has double-breasted coats, square cut at the bottom, with straight back and side lines and no vent. Vests are cut square at the bottom, and trousers are much fuller and cut straight for all models. The lower points of single-breasted coats are grace= fully rounded, but back and side lines are much straighter than those of last year. ; Patterns and colorings were never more attractive, with variety so great as to give unlimited range for choice. And now we come down to prices and values.
