BRYAN AND DANISH :
MINISTER AGREE ON
ARBITRATION TREATY

Washin gton, January 2S-Arbitration
OF all questions which may arise, in
GLIDING those involving national honor
is proposed in treaty, the terms of
which were agreed upon today by Sec
Danish minister.
1t is expected that the new treaty
will be signed in the near future and
Mr.. Bryan is optimistic over the recep-
ton it will be given in the Senate.
The convention. which will be an
amplification of the principle of Mr..
Bryan's proposals, makes no reserva-
ton whatever in the subjects to be sub
mitted to arbitration. Its basis is a
convention between Denmark and Italy,
signed at Rome. December 10, 1905,
which obligates the signatory powers
to submit to arbitration at The Hague
court call disputes of whatever nature
that may arise between them and could
net have been settled by diplomacy"
f, It is understood. however. that a pro-
vision of the Danish-Italian treaty
eliminating the nationals of either
country as arbitrators. will not be a
fe ature of the Danish american conven-
tion.
While the peace pacts already signed
by Secretary Bryan are with smaller
nations of the world. the idea Is said
to have received favorable considera-
ton In some of the most important Eu-
ropean chancellories.
| There has been no announcement on
the subject, but 1t is understood that
favorable progress is being made to-
ward the conclusion of a peace con-
vention with Great Britain. All the ma
tions to which the original communi-
cation on Mr.. Bryans plan was sent
l are receiving copies of the treaties
signed.

Rate Question Touched Upon

Gentlemen, we must have faith in our
candidates If a man promises to do
something for YOU and is unable to do
1T; is it not natural that we should lose
faith in him?"
Mr. Henderson discussed the rate oues-
tion briefly. He told of his efforts to
secure rate reform l. years ago and said
he had administered the affairs of his
office as president of the railroad COM
mission with an eye single to the needs
of the entire state.
Il have never desired to do violence
to capital legtimately invested he said.
"and l do not believe this is your idea
of railroad control"
The speaker said the state needed moro
work and less agitation. I'VE have not
bent our energies in the right direction"
he said I'm the national government the
present administratio during its short
term of office has accomplished more
than any other administration in four
years. There has not been much talk and
we do not need It, We need more work
and less talk. concerted action rather
than agitation The speaker declared
against all forms of special legislation
in the interest of individuals and corpor-
ate interests.
Special legislation In the interest of
individuals and special interests have
been the bane of the governments OK
istence. Some of this legislation has
been passed in the interest of large
waterpower companies, cotton factories
and other projects. One of the gentle
men travelling over this state today is
largely responsible for the conditions"
In closing Mr.. Henderson said there
was not a single question before Ala
bama today that was not before the
people when Mr. Conner was governor.
IF he failed to settle these questions
then, how can he promise, with any
assurance of success, that he will set
tie them now?"
Mr.. Henderson was introduced by DR.
Julius Jones, chairman OF the Coosa
county executive committee Mr. Hem
derson has made good as railroad COM
missioner" said DIR. Jones, land if you
elect him governor he viii make a sue
| cess as chief executive. He will give
] you an era of peace, contentment and
prosperity"
