in The Herald days ago. The udg
THE men of the eminent Deomcrats
DEMOCRATIC in the United States is fully in accord on
ATTITUDE the vital issue which the Republican ad
ministraon has presented to the Ameri-
people, Similar opinions have been widely expressed in
Democratic newspapers and by speakers of the party readers
of The Herald The ueIances of Mr. Cleve
Colonel Bryan however, will tend to crystalline Demo-
cratic sentiment and to clearly define the attitude OF the
party in this critical uncture OF the nations life.
Colonel Bryan expresses the belief that our nation is in
greater danger than Cuba This because of the wild
by the administration for araway territory and the lay
ing of foundation distant colonial government "Our
ton says Colonel Bryan must give up any intention OF en-
tering upon colonial policy such is now pursued by
European countries must abandon the doctrine that
derive their just powers from the consent of the
erned'
We recently alluded to the fact that the ratification of the
treaty the relative to the Philippine
lands and that the fight against expansion could just well
be made subsequent to ratification Colonel Bryan aludes to
this point and expresses preference for raying the treaty
at the settlement with SPAIN His plan
of procedure ateward to raise the issue squarely by reso-
congress declaring the policy of the nation This
ton together with the several bills for the government of
Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philippines would give ample
ground which to contest the policy of expansion.
The only objection likely to be raised to this plan will
suit from belief that advantage should be taken of the two
thirds rule for ratification by the senate Ardent Democrats
may think golden opportunity might be lost by letting rat
fcation go by default majority vote would be sufficient
in legislation affecting the government of the territories
and the Republicans will have good working majority in
each branch of the next congress-
1t should be noted however, that the strongest opposition
to ratification prominent Republicans who op
posed to expansion Senator oar for instance thinks that
the fight should be made the senate when the treaty pre-
sented with the object of forcing the administration to emn
ate or at least greatly modify, the Philippine ISSUE
