United States Senate.

Washingto Dec. 4-Senator jeff
Davis, Of Arkansas. began swilat prom

IN the senate, by Introducing his not

even visitors from the surrounding
states crowded the galaries to hear

the senate ninety days before max
ing any kind OF a speech.
The Davis bill is the statute pass

of the work OF the league, and said
he believed that the tine IS. not far
distant when -aile naembers will meet
to reoiee over victory won, and he
hoped TO be with them when they did.
Mr. Bryan said the leagues name
was good one, as it stood for ae-
tion. In the republican party there
are the stand patters and the reform
ers.
The former element is against pro-
gress. The reform clement is the
life Of the organization he said
and he has no doubt that the reform
element will win within the party
as it has won in the Democratic par
~. OF the reform in the democrat
ic party, Mr. Bryan said that it was
growing He thought there was
much hope for the Democrats IN the
future. Policies which were hereto
fore called radical and dangerous are
now endorsed by those who formerly
opposed them. The president is in
part responsible for this, Mr.. Bryan
said. He revealed the great reform
element in his own party.
In the next campaign, Mr.. Bryan
said, the Democrats platform viii
