of the development of tho proposed new

Ford In his presidential canvass on tho
Republican ticket, the peace activities of
William Jennings Bryan and tho strong
peace sentiment shown na n result of tho

their effect. It tins been suggested thnt
a peace party ticket which combined n
Democrat and n Republican as President

command a strong support In the fall
MimnAlfrn.
Pi-nee advocates In Congress virtually
all of whom nro ronowcrs 01 lonncr sec
retary of State Bryan, have held nu
merous conferences at which the possi
bility of a pence rwrty has been ills-
'cmacd. Mr. Bryan himself litis not Elton
'an opinion on the plan, but his unqualified
fenthuslasm for any proposal which ho
believes will further tho interests of pence
Is well known.
' representative Sherwood, of Ohio, one
of the Houso pad Hat lenders nnd a
friend of Bryan, has been suggested iih n
possible candidate for Vice President on
the proposed ponco ticket. Ho admitted
today that he had been approached with
the suggestion, but declined to say who
had made the suggestion or who had
been suggested as his running mute. It
was believed, however, that the sugges-
,tlon came from persona directly inter
ested In the peace propaganda nnd the
presidential candlducy'of Henry Ford.
Supporters of the pence party nlnn sav
that such a party would draw support
from pacifist ranks In both Democratic
and Republican organizations. They nlso
assert that the ticket would liavo strong
support from American citizens of former
Breiim nationality or or. lorclgn descent
who aro anxious to prevent nn outbreak
(between this country and any of tho
'European belligerents. The strength of
Ihls sentiment, they say, was conclusively
mown oy mo recent noon or telegrams
sent to Congress protesting against a
break with Germany. It Is expected that

From start to finish it was decidedly
a football romance. Miss Janvier, who
lives In MIddletown. Md., met "Babe"
Brown at the Penn-Navy game at An
napolis last fall. Brown was coach on
the Navy line, but evidently he had time
or found time to keep an eye on Miss
Janvier. Brown was picked a member
of Walter Camp's All-America team of
1913. He Is ?1 years old and is the

Canton, Pa. Ills bride Is 32 years old
The marriage at Klkton was decided
