IS. rl'ri 10 No Big Man in Sight for Presidency w Near-Adequates on Horizon Cited by Sullivan While Noting Great Change in Nation's Ideals. Many Factions, No Unity By MARK SIM,IVAN. Washington. April 14.—All the talk we engage in amt about next year’s presidential situation and all the ac tivity going on have to do almost wholly with factions and \fith no organized effort—with the fact that the New Jersey leader Is for one man, the Illinois leader for another; that the railroad workers are for McAdoo and many of the farmers for Ford; that the "ifrecnncilables” are for Johnson, and so on. line whose work is to record all this sort of thing cannot help wishing it v ere a case of gn it. unselfish issues, or a case of great personalities. But the truth is none of the men now be ing mentioned fur either party nom ination is of really first-rank size in the broad sense. The same was true in the 1020 sit nation. The present writer was talk ing once with one of the two party candidates in 1020 (it does not matter which one) much along the lines of what is here being said, when the candidate remarked, with an engag ing tolerance and candor of appraise ment of himself and others: "You must bear in mind, brother, that in 1020 both the parties hail to go to the ’bush league’ for their candi dates." This was literally true. Nineteen twenty was a dividing line in Amer ican political history. For 24 years preceding, our politics had centered about Immense personalities. There had been Roosevelt, Wilson and Bryan. For the purposes of the pres . nt article, and for the purpose of American politics, the word “great” i an he used conveniently and. prob ably. also justly, to describe a man whose size Is greater than his party, who has the ability to carry groups of voters from one party to another. I;;lch of these men bad this power, and n i other man of their generation had it. Rut It is also true that each nf these three nun, in different ways and at different phases of their careers, adequately justified the word “great” in its broader sense. Great Personalities Gone. Jn any event. lty 1920 each of these ,, l a,1 rpf* idly passed off tlm V.IL.., rtoiisevelt had died, Wilson lwd la r.Ut i. down in health and Bryan had become “shopworn”—had been a l.ttle too jong on the shelf without ever urhieving a sale in the sense of an actual election to the presidency. And by the passing of these three American politics ceased to be what it had been for a quarter of a century ceased to be a matter of dominating personalities, and became a different thing. If any proof is needed of tin* extent to which these three men ha 1 dominated politics. the i xtent m which the people had relied on them to express their ideas, it can be pro vided by a simple statement. In every presidential election since 1S96, and including that year, into or more of these men were candidates. In 1S96, Bryan w: s a candidate; In 1990, Bryan and Roosevelt were can didates; in 1901, Roosevelt was candi date: in 1908, Bryan was a candidate; in 1912, Wilson and Roosevelt were candidates; in 1916. Wilson was a ean didate. That Is a rather impressive showing for a quarter of a century, not previously equaled, in this re spect. in American history. And even in the years when any one of these men was not actually among the can didates he was always a big figure in the situation. With their passing our politics entered a new stage. All that ran be gathered from n superficial view is that we have no great figures in our present American politics- no equivalent rtf Roosevelt, or of the Wilson of a few >< us ago, to- of the Bryan of his wonderfully dynamic prime. We do not even have any figures that the politicians tan rely on to swing groups of voters from one party to th< other, fan any one think of a republican who. be cause of his personality, can swing 1.000.000 voters—say 3 per cent of the electorate—into the republican party from the democratic- one? And cart any one think of a democrat who. be cause of his personality, can swing 1/100,000 republicans into the demo c ratic ranks? Some Near Xilequate*. There are none such in the current political situation. There may be some budding ones beneath the sur face, ready to flower with the sun ovent*. Buchan, in his recent his tory f t the war, says: “For the man of destiny is the gift of God, and Is not to be found by painful seeking. When he comes it h silently and without advertisement, and his own people commonly know him not.'1 And yet as to some of the figures in the current politics of both parties one is able to see, if not clear great ness, yet so close an approach to ade quate bigness that you keep wish* ing, almost with pain, that they had “that little more that makes such leagues of difference.” You keep wish ing you could combine pairs of them into one, op certain parts of some with PrtHs of others. If only you could combine some of * he personalities in the field, you might get results that would move the world, figures that would measure up to those personalities that cross tiie world once in so often and affect P* destinies profoundly. If vou could take Borah's capacity for « lear thought and ringing expression of it, his facility in th« world of abstract ideas, and add to that IbmlingH capacity for getting men to march in • tap; if to I .a Toilet te s ovnng'dical zeal ymi could add Harding’s pfltiemc ami Vi urn t<» Ino, Column One.1 Church Conference Takes Stand for Free Thinking | Episcopa1 Body Adopts Resolutions Favorin' ^ s\\'^ ling of Religious Thought, Week-Da^ ^xX Religious Instruction Increasing School Efficiency and Co-operat.on.

Then a motion to reconsider | the vote was made and passed. Kesolutious Tabled. The committee on the address of the executive secretary of the depart ment of religious education, Dr. Wil liam !•:.

Dr. Gardner then made a pl« a for the resolutions, appealing t<> the eon ference to adopt resolutions not elut 1 tered up with theological language, j but containing somi thing upon which he could reassure the boys and girls ' of the church who are thinking and saying that the church hampers i thought.

The i primary educational task of the church is the trainnig of the oncom ing generation in Christian faith and life as the church has received the same from its Divine Mpstcr, under j the guidance <•£ the Holy Spirit. The j ordinary Sunday school today does not offer the opportunity to do this adequately. Trained leaders are too seldom fiumr!

Ak-Sar-Ben Plans for Membership Made Permanent Organization Hereafter to Be on Ba~is of Civic Bodies and Dri\ e for 6.000 Comes in May. Announcement comes from the of fice of Samson, lord high chamberlain | o Kink Ak-Sar-Ben, that the last ! annual drive membership will be Ijrld 1 ! the first week in May. Samson also j authorizes the statement that this | year will be the last year when new j members can join for $10, all men i joining Ak-Sar-Ben this year to be i permanent members and can remain j so by paying $10 annual dues. Next year there will be a t* initiation fee tin addition to the annual dues. J. K. Davidson, chairman of the membership committee, states that “it is our plan this year to establish a permanent nc inbersbjp in Ak-Sar Hett. Much spring the secretary's of fit** will mail statements showing an nual dues and there will he no more nives for numbers, as we feel quite sure that the men of Omaha will take pride in keeping up their annual dues in this organization.” There are now approximate^ 1100 members who have voluntarily sent in their application cards. "It Is our ’ desire,” said Mr. Davidson, “to en* ■roll at least 6000 members in Ak-Sar Ben for this year. As a matter of !fact, It will he necessary to secure I approximately this number in order ! to finance the program now being , outlined. “Within a few days the committees | will tie able to announce their plans | for the fall festival. Some very marked improvements and changes ; in the program are contemplated.
