the Policy to Be Pursued

Part in the Next Presiden-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Clark Howell,
member of tho Democratic national
committee from Georgia and editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, after consult
ing with the leaders of both the politi-
cal parties at Washington, has tele-
graphed as follows to his paper:
with tho adjournment of congress
Tor the holidays the final decision on
the peace treaty is as clear as it will be
after q vote has been taken in the SEN
ate. Two weeks ago the matter was in
doubt; today it is AS certain that the
treaty will be ratified as it will be that
It is after the vote has been taken.
"Mr. Bryan has been in Washington
for several days and has conferred fire.
quently and freely with the Democratic
leaders In both the senate and hotise.
He has
Advised Ratification Of the Treaty
and he is outspoken in the opinion that,
aside from the question Of national OBJ
legation, it is q matter Of party policy
for the Democrats to throw no obstacle
in the way of ratification. There are
leading Democrats Of both the senate
and house who less than q week ago
were in doubt as to whether or not
Democrats should assist In rstifying the
treaty; more than that, some Of them
were outspoken in the opinion that it
was perhaps better to reject it. Today
many Of these Democratic leaders take
open position that the treaty should be
ratified. The ratification Of the treaty
Will not carry with 1t the Assumption
that all those who vote affirmatively are
in favor Of national expansion across the
Pacific. Opponents Of expansion take
the view that the

anu tnat after the treaty has been rati-
fiod and Spain eliminated as a factor of
the Philippine problem it will be time
enough to consider the policy to be pur-
sued in dealing with the Philippines,
and Just here will come the real contest
of tho question Of expansion"
Mr.. Howell summarizes the situation
Us follows:
'As the result of the final encounter
over the resolution it may be that tho
country will witness the spectacle Of
badly severed party lines and out of it
may be furnished the battle cries
around which will be formed the lines
of the next presidential fight"

the leading members Of the silver Dem

resolutions were passed declaring the
principles of the party as they have
been changed to meet new conditions,
an understanding was reached as to the

vummed up the declarations acceptable
to a majority Of those in the conference
were as follows:
The party is opposed to fusion with
any other party. The party is unani-
mously in favor of bimetallism, but tho
question of ratio will not be given prom

expansion and the annexation Of Cuba
