Lweenl President' Wilson and (WilliamI
.1. Bryan over wv'hether tihe league of

('bargecd the air -with politIcal electri

President Vils-oi inl his me10sagc
roatd to the inl asseibled inl tw.o
separate hodles, declar d that tihe
"ciear and shinle way out" was to
submit the quest;o lin to tIhe voters is
",a Irrmat and solemnil ref ei'vindumil."
lr. IUryan, showIug all the old tie
vigor with whichn he led the light in
the preside.'s inomination at Ilalti
iore in 1913, declared that the Demo
cratic party !ouhl not go before the
country on the issue, becaune it in
volved a delay of 14 months and meant
iccess only if the :Demoerats captur
(d a two-thirds majority of the sen
ate. The marty, Mr. Bryan declared,
must "seCure such comproliises as
Hilay he possible."
The disagroement between the pregi
lent and his former secretary of state,
the first in public view since Mr. Bry
an left the cabinet because he (id not
agree with the president's course In
the diplolleati negotiations With Oer
many, was thus disclosed as a fact, al
though it has been rumored and re
ported in the underground currents of
national politics. In tihe opinion of I
tho political leaders it crystalized an I
issue.
.President Wilson In his nicisage I
said nothing whatever about a third t
term for himself, and neither did he
nake any formal announcement of his
intended retireumt to private life, as
some had foreest he would.
Mr. JBryan iin l prepared address
said nothing hearing on any ambiions I
towards a fourth preaidential nomina
lion, hut before reading his mann
script he said he had nothing to ask I
and, therefore, the diners would not I
listen to him with the thought that
they 'were listening to a candidate.
There were a dozen or more other
snI)e tkeraI ,tt the dinners and their
,views onl whether the league shon)d be1
mado a campaign Issue were either
-d(ivide<, In favor of the lpresient's
stntl( or Mr. 'Bryan's, or else they did(1
not toneh on the .subject at all. )
Trhe list of their *5peeches mighti
easily be epitomized in thuis' fashion:
*'Senator P'omierene: 'Ratify the trea
ty witit or without reservations.
Fhiormner Secretary McAdoo: An ar-1
miignmnent of llpublican adiministra

Senator Hitchcock: -"Honorable comn

Senator Owen: "immediate ratifica

Chairmani Cluminngs: Inevitable

to the circumstanice of five Sundays
in the month and requested the men
af ,thie congregation to pledge them
uolves not to take another dlrink of

ERrrlved, Iiat three men "stood lip,
rindi that, to the best of his ktnowledlge,
they kept the pledIge.' While three is
rnot a large number, we think it was
large enoutgh for the 'Lautrens congre
i~ttion of those days.
The aigns are that a great many

five Sutndatys beforeo taking a todd~y,
whether they stand up or not.
In passing, It may be observed that
