CHAIRMAN JONES TALKS. q


Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 29.-United
States Senator James X. Jones, chair.
man of the Democratic National Com.
mittee, spent today here and left this
evening for Washington, D. c. Be.
fore leaving he SAID in an interview:
The election result was a great sur.
prise to all Democrats. All were so
confident OF success that the sweeping
Republican victory came as severe
shock. Even on the evening OF the
day OF election reassurng kilograms
came from leaders that New York
was safe for Bryan, and from leaders
in other pivotal States that Democ.
racy was sure to win. 1t was these
forecasts which buoyed US up to the
last moment and made the actual re-
suit more startling But Mr. Bryan
is great man-One of the greatest in
America today-and his influence will
be felt for many years to come On
American politics. He is a giant in
intellect and simply interchangeable In
the prosecution Of campaign.
Whether he will be a candidate for
the presidency in the near future re-.
mains to be seen, but it Is not prob.
able that he will. 1t is more reason
able to presume that he would decline
the nomination even should it be of.
fered to him. A''-
Reorganization? Oh, that's all non.
sense. There's nothing 10 it, and II
will blow over in thirty days. 1t is
preciptated by those who deserted
the party and gave aid and comfort to
the enemy and does not represent the
strength or the spirit of the genuine
Democracy. What they would do is
to adopt all the policies of the Repub.
lican party and be Democrats only in
name. But granting that there Is
cause or strength for so called organi-
zation, who has the power within the
party to do it now? Not the dis.
gruntled disorganlzers who have
raised the issue. II there is to be a
reorganization, of national committee
or platform it cannot be done for four
years, or until the next national con.
vention. No one else can reorganize
the party. t. msil e..I
AS to the issues, that must depend
largely upon the national and interna.
tional developments Of the next four
years. 1t may be laid down primarily,
however, that the Democratic party
will never vary from its established
rudimentals Of a strict construction
of the constitution and an uns werving
adherence to its principles, and an
economically administered govern.
ment, for the benefit Of the governed.
The silver question may solve itself.
Should the amount OF gold produced
be ample to maintain a sufficient
volume of metallic money and insure
the stability Of prices, the silver lues.
tiOn will be subordinated; but should
the supply fall short Of the demands OF
trade the silver question will be made
prominent. The question Of imperial.
ism may also flnd a solution outside
the ballot box. believe the supreme
court will decide against the Porto
Rican law, and should this be done
there will be revulsiop on the part
Of the Republicans themselves against
the retention of the Philippines. But
just what the issues OF 1904 will be 10
one can predict with any degree Of
certainty. ~.
