WILSON AND BRYAN CLASH AT JACKSON DINNER. Wshington, Jan. 9.?Last night, during the Jackson Day dinner at Washington, D. C., there was a serious conflict between the statements of views on the peace teraty by President Wilson and Wililam J. Bryan. A letter from.' President Wiison, which was read at the dinner, contained the following declarations regard ing the pending peace treaty and tne league of Nations: "We must take it (the treaty) without changes which alter its meaning, or leave it." "If there is any doubt as to what the people of the country think on this vital matter, the clear and single way out is to submit it far determination at the next election to the vot ers of he nation. * When after the reading of these important statements of the President, the other members of the audience "applauded loudly and rose to their feet in their enthusiasm, Mr. Bryan not only failed entirely to applaud but remained seated in emphatic emphasis , of his disapproval of the President's declarations. nAnd later,-in explanation of his attitude regarding the matter, he made the following ' statements: "We cannot go before the country on the issue that such an appeal would present." "Npither can we go before the country on the issue raised in Article X. If we do not intend to impair the right of Congress to decide the question of 'peace or war when the time for action arises, how can we insist upon a moral obligation to go to war which can have no force or value excepjt as it does impair the independ- i ence 01 uongress. "The Republicans have a majority 1 in the Senate, and can thereby by right dictate the Senate's course. Being in the minority we cannot demand the right to decide the terms upon which, the Senate will consent to ratification." "No person in this country has dartins only wr ?*r vouii grocers mXWELL HOUSE I COFFEE ! ^ IIII IBM mm I i . 1 ; i | \rOU make | 1 Thornhill and hick< - r J OI WOUU LiifcU m.&^The?-Thornh the best and us show you prool v-~.

"A majority of Congress can de clare war. Shall we make it more difficult to conclude a treaty than to enter a war?" The President's declarations regarding the treaty caused this comment by Senator l^odge, the Republican leader: "The issue is celarly drawn. The reservations intended solely to protect the United States in its sovereignty and independence are discarded by the President. He places himself squarely in behalf of internationalism against Americanism." Senator Hitchcock, the Acting Democratic leader, in referring during his address at the Jackson dinner to the treaty situation , expressed the hope that some satisfactory agree ment witft tne majority senators might be reached, but added that in Beautiful W Monuments % in u lTidiuic aiiu Granite " rew For information regardin got the wrong grip by mi: in Charleston on Decembf contained a pair of blue p Perry), blue sweater and patch-News.

Gerard, who has been prominently mentioned as a Democratic Presidential candidate, in adressing the hundreds of Democratic dinners last, night, made the fololwing statements rcI garding treaty action: | i "I have been for the league without changes, but a great danger threatens Europe. It demands that both sides I together, that a compromise be O ? mac^e, and peace be given to the world. After all the reservations are in favor of America, and if the other powers accept no harm can come to us by adopting them." Although there was frequent and loud aplause during the reading of the President's letter, there was a noticeable failure on the part of most of the dozen or more speakers to make any definite statement of their views regarding: the peace treaty. This fact, TO mark the sacred places, here dear ones rest, we supy artistic head stones and atuary, at a moderate cost. OME MARBLE & GRANITE WORKS ; [12 Laurel St. J Columbia, S.

The letter will also, apparently, have the effect of definitely doing away with all possibility of further, action by the Senate on the treaty until after the Xovemher, 1 !*20. elections. While this delay in the final dispo sition of the treaty will be regretted by many earnest advocates of peace, many others will be gratified to know that this tremendously important matter is to be passed upon by the American people themselves before final and irrevocable action is taken. Meanwhile, since it is hardly conceivable that the present technical state of war should contiuc until after the Presidential elections, it may reasonably be expected that, pending the result of the referendum on the treaty suggested by the President, Congress will pass a resolution declaring the ?????????m?BBaMuemnra^MnBgaiam "woods SEEDS WOOD'S !
