He has been a leader in the advocacy of many moral reforms and was representative of the effort for purity in our political life. He was endowed with the great gift of eloquence. The sincerity of his mo- | tives was beyond dispute. He was three times chosen head of a great political party and held the ex office of Secretary of State.

Robert Sherwood, managing ‘edi- tor of “Life,” said today that he had stopped that publication’s presses after 20,000 copies of the coming issue had been run off, in order to eliminate a number of quips at the expense of the Great Commoner _and fundamentalist. “The New Yorker caught its {ssue just in time, and refilled great gaps in its columns with other matter. The editors of “Judge” said its next issue was in the malls, but that future numbers would contain no_Bryan-monkey jokes. The Garrick Galetles was pre- sented Monday night wthout its skit port; ecutor in a Grand Street Follies and dozens of vaudeville acts which have satiriz- ed Bryan by word, suggestion or -tableau, were revised.
