BRYAN's MISTAKE.
Democratic Brethren DisapprOve Hi.
Anti-ExpansiOn Notions.
Washington SpeciaI.

| Colonel Bryan end his close political
| friends are in the dumps. The electric SEN
tence, Who will haul down the fiag?" has
| put the fusion combination the defensive.
| colonel Bryan is out in weak interview,
IN which he attempts defense of the inn
nag from the Philippines and otherwise
throwing away the fruits of victory to the
humiliation of the Nation and to no pos
Sible good purpose. He essays denial of
such intention but does not state what his
real intention is. F'reespoken Democratic
and Populistic congressman, who are not of
the little Bryanite cabal, are anathematiz-
ing Bryan and Chairman Jones, of Arkan-
sas, for getting into the expansion fight
without knowing what was ahead They are
sharply crtticising these So-called leaders for
committing themselves and, as far as pos
sible, the party to blind opposition to the
l. administration policy without having the
remotest idea what that policy was going
to be. They are crying aloud for real lead
ers-men who can do continuous perform
ance In political laundering. They are re-
calling that the Bryan-Jones combination
has done nothing thus far but get the
Demo-Populsts into trouble and defeat and
they are denounclng the managers I'M
safe leaders.
The excited discussion among Democrats
called out by the Bryan anti-eXpanSion pro-
nouncement and the Presidents sensa tional
tour brings to light the fact that the Demo-
Gratis are hopelessly divided ON the question
of the governmental policy for the manage
ment of our new possessions. They are taxi
ing radically different stands in the matter

friend and mouthpiece, Swanson, of Vir-

would rather establish a republic in the
Orient than destroy one in the Occident The
Philippine islands should be turned loose
and their people should be allowed to esta b.
lish and maintain their own government ="
Representative King, of Utah. takes a po-
sition in direct opposition 10 the Swanson
stand Mr.. King is at present in the lower
branch of Congress, but will probably sue
coed Frank Cannon as senator. He says:
The Democratic party will never go on
record as a party in opposition to expan-
sion. We will oppose imperialism but not
expansion. and we will advocate giving all
persons under the sovereignty of the United
States the greatest degree of self-govern-
ment of which they are capable"
These divergent views among leaders
would seem 10 foreshadow lively times
ahead in the camp of the Demo Poi. dlists.

The people of Washington saw only one side
OF Senator Brice's character. He had two
sides-one his social and domestic side and
the other his business side. The one was
genial. kindly, sympathetic and agreeable:
the other was hard as flint. Two men could
not have shown more distinctly different
traits. He was domestic to a degree and de-
MED neither himself nor his family anything
