BRYAN PROPOSES t DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM Principal .Planks lie Uopes to See in Democratic Platform are Enumerat ed. Include Prohibition and Wonin Suffrage. Cleveland, 0., Feb. 15.-The "Plain Dealer" tomorrow will publish an in terview with 'William Jennings Bryan, obtained by its staff correspondent at Miami, Fla., in which the Democratic candidate for president names the principal planks he hopes to see in conporated in the Democratic nation al platform at the San Francisco con vention. .Mr. Bryan says he does not attempt to dictate, but merely summarizes his beliefs and opinions as a result of his studying the political pulse. le places the more important. planks in the following order: Indorsement of the administration of President Wilson. National prohibition. Woman suffrage. Opposition to enforced military training. Opposition to proflteering. Taxation. Labor problems. Political ownershhip. Mr. Bryan practically predicted the elimination of Governor Edwards, of i New Jersey, and soldier candidates on both sides for the presidential nomination. .\lr. Bryan declares he has no dis position to suggest in advance planks on which the IDemocratic convention might be divided, "but there are ccr tain planks which will be in the plat form as a matter of course. These I am willing to mention." "There will be a plaunk endorsing the ;President's administration," Mr. Dryan said. "not that every member of the party endorses everything the administration has done; not that al majority of the convention will en dorse everything that has been done, but it has been a great administration and the Democrats of the nation would not think of entering the campaign on a repudiation or upon a platform silent on that subject. "The platform will contain a plank in favor of iprohibitlin as the perma ncnt policy of the country and our candidate will be pledged to the strict enforcement of the law in letter and spirit. hilvery state controlled by the Democrats has ratified the national prohibition amendment. it is incon ceivable that the 'Democratic party should (efy the conscience of the na NO .'('lITY O)1 (G( IlRON lIACK'I baseiment 10 thec ('eilinigs. smJIile aind be haippy.

"There being three states recorded n opposition to national prohibition, ve probably shall expect that our andidate for president shall be se ected from New Jersey and our can Lidate for vice president from Con kecticut or -Rhode Island in case our :onvention goes wet. But we would lot be sure of carrying those three itates because conscience may break mt there before election. Those who talk about a wet plank n our platform do not have an inter ,st fi a Democratic victory. "The iplatfori will strongly declare ,or wvoman suffrage, and the conven 'ion may be expected to propose ef ective remedies, national, state and ocal, for proliteering and his old brother--the trust." Mr. Bryan thought it safe to say Ihat the party will declare ngainst a retuirn to a protective tariff, and will imdorse the income tax. "That is, the Democrats will oppose the plan of big business on this sub ject," he said. "Big business and the men of great wealth, the influence which dlominates the Republican lead ers, will try to shift the burden of I taxation to the backs of the poor0." "Labor (uestion -will ocepy-a large place in our platform. I have no doubt the party will defend the right to organize and toipeaceably persuade; declare in favor of an eight-hour day; favor the right of collective bargain ing. I also hope the Democratic party will declare in favor of the creation of machinery for the investigation of all dispiutes between emiployer and employe that differences may be set tied before they reach the strike or lockout stage. "It is impossible at. this time to say how far the convention will go in ap plying the principle of private mno nopoly to the telegraph, telephone and railroad p'oblemls. "it is certain the convention will deal with many other subjects. like good roads the middleman and 'pro positions regarding the farmer." NOTI'lC(E OF LOST STOCK.

Confer. ence Coming Late in -February. Detroit, Feb. 14.-The strike of 300, )00 members of the Brotherhood of MWainteance of Ways Employees and Railway Shop Laborers, set for next ruesday, was tonight indefilitely tpost poned by A. E. Baker, international president of the union, In accordance with the request of President Wilson that action be delayed until after the general conference of railway union conmitteemen on February 23. Notice of the decision to postpone the strike was communicatd to Direc tor General Hines by Mr. Parker in the following message: "In compliance with recomnienda tions of the committee of the brother hood now at Washington, I am in dofinitely postponing the strike order, which was to have become effective Tuesday morning, February 17. How ever, I am confirmed in my belief that . strike action would have been eml nentiy Just to force action on the wage demands of the men for whom I t speak. It in evident our committee did not desire that the maintenance of way brotherhood should be driven into a I position seemingly forgetful of the public interest due to unfriendly in terests, including tile avenues of In formation by which the public can be reached, the public being ignorant of I actual conditions among these railway workers. I desire to impress upon you with all the force at my command the absolute necessity of relief for our inembers iimediately if a most ser ous situation from which there will be no retreat is to be avoided." The telegram to the membership : postponing the strike was sent out to- I night to the approximately 6,000 local secretaries of the brotherhood. Late tonight Mr. Barker replied to t 'President Wilson's telegram inform- I ing him of postponement of the strike and that the maintenance of way un ion would be represented at the gen eral raillway conference. The mes- I sage continues: "I desire to urge upon you the ne cessity for expediting action in the matter. Promises of future relief will not satisfy under fed stomachs; neith er. will they protect the dependents of the railway workers for whom I speak. Ou1r members must have relief.
