Bryan Endorses Administra tion. Cleveland, 0., Feb. 15-The Plain Dealer tomorrow will publish an in terview with W. J. Bryan, obtained by its staff correnpondent at Miami. Fla., in which the former Democratic Candidate for President names tnt. principal planks he hopes to *ee in corporated in the Democratic nation al platform at the San Francisco con vention. ./.Mr. Bryan, says he does not at tempt to disrate, but merely sum marizes his beliefs and opinions as; a result of his studying the political pulse. He places the more important planks in the following order: Indorsement of the administration of President Wilson. National Prohibition. r Woman Suffrage. Opposition to enforced military training. Opposition to profiteering. Taxation. Labor Problems. Public ownership. . Mr. Bryan practically predicted the elimination of Governor Edwards of New Jersey and soldier candidates on both sides for the presidential ?nomination. Mr. Bryan declares that he has no disposition to suggest in advance planks on which the Democratic con vention might be divided* "but there are centain planks which will be in the platform as a matter of course. These I am willing to mention." "There will be a plank endorsing the President's administration," Mr. Bryan said, "not that every member of the party endorses everything thc administration has done; not that ii majority of the convention will en dorse everything that has been done, but it has been a great administra tion and the Democrats of the na tion would not think of entering th< campaign on a repudiation or upon a platform silent on that subject. "The platform will contain a plant in favor of prohibition as the penna nent policy of the country and oui candidate will be pledged to.thc -strict enforcement of the law in let ter and spirit. Every state controllec by the Democrats has ratified the na tional prohibition amendment. It ii inconceivable that the Democrats party should defy the conscience oi the nation on this subject after hav ing Contributed so largely to the pro hibition victory. "There being three states recordec in opposition to National prohibition we probably shall expect that oui candidate for president shall be se lected from New Jersey and our can didate for vice-president from Con necticut or Rhode Island in case oui convention goes wet. But we wouh not be sure of carrying those threi States, because conscience may brea! out there before election. "Those who talk about a wet plan! in our platform do not have an in. terest in the Democratic victory. "The platform will strongly de clare for woman suffrage and the cor vention may be expected to propose: effective remedies, national state and local for profiteering and his old brother-the trust." Mr. Bryan thought it safe to say that the party will declare against a return to a protective tariff, and will endorse the income tax. "That is the Democratic party will oppose the plan of big business on this subject," he said. Big business and the men of great wealth. The in fluence which dominates the Republi can leaders, will try to shift the bur den of taxation onto the backs, of the poor. Labor questions will occupy a large place in our platform. I have no doubt the party will defend the right to organize and to peaceably * per suade; declare in favor of an eight hour day; favor the right of collec tive bargaining. I also hope the Dem ocratic party will declare in favor of the creation Sf machinery for the in vestigation of all disputes .between employer and employe that differenc es may be settled before they reach the strike or lockout stage. "It is impossible at"this time to say how far the convention will go in applying the principle of private mo nopoly to the telegraph, telephone and railroad problems. "It is certain the convention will deal with many other subjects, like good roads, the i.iiddleman and pro positions regarding the farmer." Notice!!
