Declares Conscience
Should Force Them
to Resign.
e SENATORS WHO KILLED
CONVENTION BILL FLAYED
Corruption, Says He, "Is Why
Representative Government
Doesn't Represent"
IFrom a star correspondcnt.l

TRENTON. N. j.. March 29.-Will-
lam Jennings Bryan, secretary of
State, and the right bower to Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, certainly
handed some pretty strong upper
cuts and body bruises to the six
Democratic senators who helped de-
feat the constitutional convention
bill. 1t is being rumored at Trenton
today that President Woodrow Will
son quietly gave the tip to the Peer
less One" to throw il in good and
strong to these traiterous senators.
The greatest excitement caused
by Bryan's speech is from the para
graph THE great fault with repre-
sentative government is that 1t does
not represent. II is because of the
corruption that has come by reasons
of this fact that people have demand
ed the initiative and referendum.
The stand taken by politicians
throughout the State today is of par
ticular significance to those opposed
to jury reform. and they claim moth
ing better could have happened as It
virtually wins the victory at Trenton
and also spikes Wilson's guns. Those
legislators who are on the fence for
jury reform are said to have de-
cided change in mind and that the
vote taken on the compromise bill
next Monday will show great vic
tory for those who are in favor of
jury reform with a referendum.
Mr.. Bryan, in no uncertain terms, in
hitting at the six Democratic sena-
tors who were opposed to the consti-
tutional convention, said:
"a platform that Is not binding ought
never TO be written; as a matter of fact
II is written because II IL expected to
be binding. | would not ask for
menf. man to violate his conscience.
but IL he cannot carry out the pledges
of the platform ON which he was elected
he ought TO be conscientious enough TO
resign"
No understanding has reached here
as yet, that any of the Democratic
senator's have offered their resigna-
tions. but it Is understood on good
authority that President Wilson in
tends to shun them as political
traitors and will not consider them
for any office in his power, and that
Senator Davis, who was a candidate
for assistant district attorney, will
also get left.
While it had been announced from
Washington that Mr.. Bryan had con-
ferred with President Wilson and
might be expected to come here and
assert the Presidents views of jury
law changes, his statements here
could not be construed to mean any
thing but that the people themselves
should have the right to say what
these changes should be. In fact,
he specifically mentioned the refer
endum as part of what he UNDER
stood progressive government to
