BRYAN STANDS
FOR HARMONY
Shows ConcIIlatory Spirit to
His Opponents.

A Democratic policy OF harmony is
being evolved and William J. Bryan Is
one of the leading moving spirits. Dem
ocratic leaders in Washington have
been greatly exercised by the repeated
stories that Presideni.elect Wilson was
confronting many varieties of trouble
due to factional strife in his party.
and after frequent conferences have
decided to avoid, as far as they can.
any internal party strife.
In his recent visit to Washington
Mr. Bryan. who. II Is now known, can
be secretary OF state In the new ad-
ministration. and who. unless he may
changes his mind. will accept that
place. displayed very conclliatory
spirit. entirely out OF keeping with his
traditional attitude.
Leading Democrats in Washington
are pleased over what appears to be
the changed attitude of their former
militant leader. They believe 1t augurs
we'll for party harmony. and If per-
sisted IN will remove much of the
sting OF Mr.. Bryan's appointment as
the chief adviser In President Wilson's
cabinet.
Speaker Clark's attitude toward Mr..
Bryan is a source OF constant discom.
fort to those Democrats who are plan
ming for party harmony. Speaker Clark
and Mr. Bryan have not met since the
convention at Baltimore. Their friends
do not conceal fear that such a
meeting may be marked by scene
that will be embarrassing to both men
and a source OF personal regret to the
friends of both.
