BRYAN SOLEMNLY
WARNS CONGRESS

LINCOLN NEBR., Dec. 26.-Charg-
ing that reactionary Democrats in the
senate and house are planning to fasten
themselves on important committees,
w J. Bryan, in Commoner editorial
today, warns the new Democratic con-
gress against the blight of seniority"
saying in part
The Democratic party is going to
have another struggle in both senate
and house over the committee assign
ments, and it is again threatened with
the blight of seniority That is, it will
be asked to put the ambitions and in
terests of individuals above the welfare
of the party and the good of the coun-
Try. The progressive Democrats will
now be in the majority in the senate
caucus. viii they allow a reactionary
minority to man the ship? VIII they
allow length of service to outweigh
sympathy with the progressive cause?
If 1t were personal matter, the new
senators might prefer to yield to the
older ones, but a man who acts in
representative capacity is not at liberty
to be courteous at the expense of his
constituents The Democrats of the
senate owe to the party to make the
senate organization represent the pre-
vailing sentiment of the party. and
thus enable it to work in harmony with
the administration. To do this the
rule of seniority should be ignored,
Assignments to committees should be
made upon the basis of fitness and
With view to giving faithful ex-
preston to the will of the majority. No
Democrat is deserving of preferment
who places special interests above the
general welfare. If our party is to earn
long lease of power, it must regard
the rights of the people as paramount"
