DEMOCRACY EMPLOYED
WITH GREAT PROBLEMS
Secretary Bryan's Message to Club
Banqueters-Presid Wilson
Regrets Inability to Attend.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE democ-
racy Of the nation is addressing itself
to great economic and political prob
lems," Secretary of State Bryan said. in
a telegram read at the Jefferson day
dinner of the National Democratic Club
here last night.
THE old methods of politics are passing
away, and the people are coming into
their own, not only in the control Of the
instrumentalities of government but also
in the control of the public machinery
through which the people direct their
government
In the new era principles should
dominate instead of men, and leadership
should depend on the leaders ability to
think with the people, not on his desire
to think for them. May the spirit of
the great founder of the party animate
those who today do homage to his name
Political democracy was discussed by
Gov David I. Walsh Of Massachusetts,
Dudley Field Malone and others. Presi-
dent Wilson, Vice President Marshall,
Gov Glynn, Secretary of the Navy Dam
iels and William Church Osborn, demo
cratic state chairman. expressed regret
by telegram for their absence.
In a few years there is to be in this
country a realignment of the parties :
Gov. Walsh said. 'One party will be
progressive and the others will be con-
servative. standing for privilege and
class. There is room for only two po-
litical parties One party will stand for
the people and against privilege and
class, and that is what the democra tic
party in this nation will stand for"
