NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-How far VIII
liam J. Bryan will go IN his opDosl.
tion to President Wilson's national
preparedness program, Is causing
democratic leaders some concern.
This much was Indicated today by
men high in the councils Of the party.
In "show down" between Wilson
and Bryan, they believe the country
generally would support the president
against his former premier. But they
do not hold lightly the influence Bry-
an could exert in case Of an open
split endangering the success of the
party.
Just now they are waiting for Kry-
ans next move.
Men like Chairman VIM. F. Nc
Combs, Colonel House and other
party leaders in close confidence OF
the president, naturally do not care
to comment at this time upon the
Bryan attack and its possible politf-
cal consequences. But democrat In
high standing analyzed the situation
as It appears to him today.
There are only two men In Amer
lea who really have large personal
followings," he said. "One is Colonel

Bryan. Either can command large
support on any proposition that can
be backed by logic.

Democrats are Very Uneasy
Over Activities of w. J. Bryan

Leader Kitchin to endorse the plan.
From the country reports are
reaching here of threatened opposition
by other democrats in congress. Poll
ticians are interested In rumors that
Representative Sherwood of Ohio,
father Of the dollar day" pension
law, is planning to oppose the pre-
paredness program.
That the controversy is to be solely
one Of principles, was again empha-
sized today by those close to the ad.
ministration The word has gone out
that Representative Kitchin is not to
be tplined'' because Of his re-
fusal to sustain the administration
Other democrats in con gress are also
to be allowed individual freedom with
out coercive methods being invoked
accordinS to word now going out.
For these reasons, It Is announced
the administration is not disposed to
favor caucus action upon the pre-
paredness legislation. To corral
enough votes, this may eventually be
resorted to, but to permit fndepen
dence of action, prevent any party
split in congress and also secure re
publican support, the administration
prefers passage Of the Legislation
without resorting to drastic partisan
tactics.
Whether Bryan will avail himself o.
his floor privilege in congress, o.
going upon the house floor as a for
rner member to actively lobby agains
the national defense bills IL causing
Interesting speculation. 1t is believed
however. that Bryan will confine him
self largely to a publicity campaign
and personal influence with individual
congressman.
