BRYAN RAPS SENATE FOR LONG DELATi Asserts President Succeeded in Pari; A sserts I 'res i den t iT"> ;i Better 1 Kan Coutry Had Right to Expect. Washington. Jan. 8.? (By Asso ciated Press.)?William J. Bryar -split openly with President Wilson al the Jackson Day dinner here tonighl on the question of whether the Demo cratie party should make the league of nations an issue at the next election. The foi*mer Secretary of State three times a candidate for the presidency and a power in his party, declared the Democrats could not gc before the country on the issue and that they must accept such compromises as may be possible. President Wilson, in his message to the diners, had declared that "the clear and single way out" was tc i?ubmit the issue. Conceding the right of the Re publican majority to dictate the Senate's course, Mr. Bryan declared: Would Mean Delay. "Our plan has been rejected and we must face the situation as it is, We must either secure compromises us may be possible or present the issue to the country. The lattei would mean a delav of at least fourteen months and then success only in case of our securing a twothirds majority of the Senate. "We cannot afford, either as citizens or as members of the party, tc share with the Republican party responsibility for further delay; w vannot go before the country on the *ssue that such an appeal would pre sent. . . . majority of Congress car declare war. Shall we make it more difficult to conclude a treaty than tc ?nter war? Reviewing the past and surveying * program for the future, Mr. Bryar said he ventured to suggest "three new propositions." They were: "National Peace Way." "A national system of roads, ex l#?ndinor in pverv State, to be knowr as "a national peace way," both as a "utilitarian project for binding th< States together in commerce and in tercourse and as a memorial to the soldier dead. Anaional bulletin?not a news paper, Mr. Bryan declared?to pre -sent national issues, under bi-parti san control. The initiative and referendum which he declared the Democratic party might well adopt as its "nexl _4zrent reform." Mr. Bryan's speech in part follows "A Democratic President was th? spokesman of the United States ir -folding out to a war-torn world the -fcope of universal peace, and he v brought back from Paris the covenant ? of a ltague of nations that provides means for settling international disputes without a resort to force. He did the best he could.and succeeded > better than we had any right to except when we remember that he fought single-handed against the selfish interests of the world. '"The Kcubiican party, in control of 'the Senate, instead of ratifying at once or promptly proposing changes that it deemed necessary, has fiddled " while civilization has been threatened with conflagration. It could have adopted its reservations as well five months a;ro as but it permitted endless debate while suffering humanity waited. "The Democratic Senators stood with the President for ratification without reservation, and I stood with them, believing that it was better to secure within the league, after it was established, any necessary changes, -than to attempt to secure them by reservations in the ratifying resolutions. "We cannot afford, either &s citi ~*"?ews or as members of the party, to shar- with the Republican party vespoji^ibiiiry for further delay; we can *ior ?a> brifove the country on the '' issue that ar\icr an appeal would prei sent. Constructive Program. v ' fA Democratic waty cannot be a party 01 negation; it must have a constructive program. It must not only a league of nations, but it must liave a plan for the election of delegates and a policy to be pursued by those delegates. What plan can a Der^o^ratic party have other than one contemplates the popular election of those delegates who, in the t iafeaence they will ?xert, will be next i in importance to the President himself, and what policy can Che Demo' srfctie party have within the league of j .-nations other than one of absolute in -dependence and impartiality between "the members of the league? Our nation's voice should at all times be jaised in behalf of equal and exact \ justice between nations as the onlj iasis of permanent peace; it shoulc 4>e raised in defense of the right oi self-determination and in proclaiming ^ spirit of brotherhood as universal as .ihe peace which we advocate. Domestic Problems. "We have domestic problems alsc "-vhich offer an opportunity to rendei large service, and one objection to r thrusting the treaty into the campaign is that it would divert attenj tion from questions demanding immediate consideration. We are confronted with the organization of new parties on the theory that the old narties do not meet the issues that - have arisen. 1 "Our party is the one party that t can qualify for the meeting of these t issues. It can oppose a class party - because it is not itself the party of a ; class, but the party of the whole peo . pie, regardless of class. The Repubi lican party has become a capitalistic . t party and has permitted tariff barons -: to write the tariff laws, trust mag. j nates to direct the policy of the party ' > on the trust question, railroad presi- j I dents to dictate its policy on the rail road question, while packing house ! ; companies and other profiteers have' j used it as their own. It would divide ' i the country into class parties and by' ? its own attitude compel the formation . of a farmer's party and a laborer's , party. j ; Stands for Protection. j "The Democratic, on the contrary ! stands for the protection of the rights t of every class, dealing with each . citizen as an individual instead of as i a member of a class. It has, since it ! has been in power given the commer icial classes a splendid currency law; it hns orivpn the farmers a farm loan ' > law; it has given labor an eight hour, - day and greater security in its rights,' ; and has given to all the people relief - from the high tariff burdens that had > been placed upon consumers. Demo cracy contemplates cooperation be-1 5 tween all elements and the promoting j ! of the welfare of society in general, j ; "It would prevent strikes not by i prohibitory laws, but by the creation ! of machinery, which will investigate f A/HIVA n rvao/io^nl ) disputes UIIU lliUd OCtUlC Cl ui | settlement of differences before the j controversy reaches the stage of i strike or lockout. i i "The Democratic party will dis, tinguish between evolution and revo| lution, guaranteeing freedom of - speech and press to everyone who ad i vocates governmental changes by con 5 stitutional methods, and at the same i time prevent the use of either free- j -! dom of speech or freedom of press * - ? -Li - -i-i ? ~-c + i icr me oveiimyw wi. tuiiaunukivuai government. Denounced Monopoly. -; "The Democratic party has for -. twenty years denounced private mont opoly as indefensible and intolerable. , It cannot surrender its position on j this subject now when the beneticit1 aries of all the private monopolies are mobilizing under the banner of . the Republican party for a uniied i attack upon the right of the people t to own and operate all necessary , monopolies in the interest of the pub-, . lie. ; "The Democratic party will coni tinue its fight against the profiteer. A government that restrains the indi; vidual from the use of force in the ; protection of his rights assumes the solemn obligation to protect the disarmed citizen from every arm up(lifted for his injury. We need machinery in every State and in each com-' munitv that will give to the consumer a tribunal before which a dealer accused of profiteering can be brought for examination. The ft 2ral trade commission is a step in the right di reetion, but the subject is too big to be handled by the nation alone, or by a national commission. The remedy must be as complete as the evil, and it cannot be complete unless States and communities as well as the federal government are prepared to deal . with the subject. j Accept Prohibitron.

Three-fourths of the Democrats in the Senate and twothirds of the Democrats in the House voted to submit the national amend-, I ment, and every Democratic State voted for ratification?and every Republican State except three.

Portland, Me., Jan. 9.?Procrastination in the settlement of the Senate controversv over the ratification of the peace treaty by adopting of President Wilson's idea of making the treaty the issue of a campaign was \opposed by former President Taft today in remarks at a dinner of the | Portland Rotary Club. If the treaty became a campaign is- i sue it would be fourteen months, Mr.! Taft said, before anything like a set-; tlement could bo reached and he con- j sidered it doubtful if even then it I could reallv be accomplished. He ar-! gued against the acceptance cf the leadership of extremists at either end of the line of controversy and said ! it was essential that world peace be; secured promptly and on the best pos- j sible terms through compromise. ! , 666 quickly relieves Cclds and LaGrippe, Constipation, Biliousness, j Loss of Appetite and Headaches. 1-13-1Ot j JAMES ISLAND MAN IS GRATEFUL FOR FERROLAX: j i Is Completely Relieved Of His i Troubles Since Taking Ferrolax.
