 His Position.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 3O-Hon. Will
 liam J Bryan spent two hours in Dallas tonight while on his way to his farm at Mission, in Southwest Texas. In response to questions Mir. Bryan freely discussed the political situation
 He said:
 %In the Harvey-W matter. so far MT Wilson has been helped rather than hurt by the correspond ence
 Mir Wilson is right sn believing hat man is sometimes hurt by the sort of men clamorous in his support l shall not at this time make any announcement of my choice for the presidential nomination"
 Mir Wilson's sort of progressive ness is best demonstrated in the Smith incident in New Jersey" said Mir Bryan.
 Referring to the Missouri situation, Mir Bryan said
 1t was a mistake that the Clark men would not accept the Stephens suggestion, a thing I heartily approve that the two Missouri men divide the vote of the state on the first ballot in the national convention; that one of them, taking the full vote of the delegation afterwards who shall have received the larger sup port in the delegations from other states"
 Mir Bryan also made some refer ences to fine idea of primary elections for the choice of presidential can dldates.
 while primaries are still in the experimental stage to large extent, he said, q favor this method of se- leeting candidates. Ultimately I fa- yor the taking of majority vote the deciding method in primaries"
 There will be campaign in my state in about two months, MT. Bryan continued
 'l expect to be in that campaign and before that time to decide be tween the democratic presidential candidates. We have a splendid op- portrnity to win and hope for the collection of that man, who can unite lhe democratic clements

 and It's Coast Defense.

Washington, D. C., Jan 30-Aban- dohment of the program for two bat tieships this year brought out a statement from Secretary of the Navy Meyer today.

 He asserted that "uhe Monroe doc Urine is as big as the navy and no bigger" and that the United States guaranteeing the neutrality of the Panama canal, must be prepared to make good it's pledge,
 Even with a continuous program of two battleships year. said Sec retary Meyer, "the United States will fall a little behind its present effect i've strength for the reason that in another year four of our battleships built during the same period will be- come non-effectiye
 The dreadnaught type is the war ship of the present day One dread naught built by a foreign power in excess of the number built by our selves. is equivalent to wiping of our list at one strike. the Indiana Massachusetts, Oregon, Iowa, Rear sarge and Kentucky

 England. the statement declares, has authorized for the coming year five dreadnaughts. and Germany three dreadnanghts- and one armored cruis- er Japan is said 10 have authorized five ships of the latest dreadnaught type and s79,00o 900 for new construc- ton between 1911 and 1917
 The secretary asserts that the democrats might have brought about economy if they had had the courage to abolish needless navy yards which are costing the government several million dollars a year for mainten- ance"
 "A navy for the nation and not for local interests is what should be sought" the statement concludes.
