Expressed Citizens Opin-
ion on NOn-PartiSan
Question of Defence.
STILL FRIENDLY
TO PRESIDENT
Says Wilson Wanted Ideas OF
Those Who Differed. and
He Spoke for Them.
IFrcm Tho Tribun. Bureau.i

Washington. Nov 6.-"Why should
Democrats friendship for the Presi-
dent be questioned because he differs
from the President on an issue like
this?" inquired William Jennings Bryan
to-day in answer TO a question about
his plans for opposing the Presidents
programme Of preparedness.
II have no plans formulated ! am
doing what ! believe it the duty OF
every citizen to do. How can the
President know what the people think
unless individuals express themselves 4?
Those who approve of his plan
do not hesitate TO express themselves.
Why should those who disapprove be
silent? The editors Of metropolitan
newspapers who daily swing incense
before the special interests do not hest
tate to express an opinion as to what
the country needs. Why should a coun-
try editor like myself be denied the
privilege? And why should a Demo
Gratis friendship for the President be
questioned because he differs from the
President on an issue like this, which
has nothing in the history Of the coun-
try or the party TO commend IT,
"The Presidents appeal was not 10
members of his party, but TO people Of
all shades of opinion. When did II be-
come unpatriotic for a citizen 70 differ
from a President When did il become
disloyal for a Democrat TO differ from
Democratic President on an issue
which the President declares TO be nom
partisan? The President said he would
ask those who differed from him to eX-
press their opinions. He certainly Will
be the last 10 complain because his re-
quest is complied with. A great many
peoplc-no one can definitely state the
number, but quite a multitude believe
that we cannot insure the nation
against war by adopting the very policy
which brought Europe into war. They
believe that il is more reasonable 20
assume that peace can be promoted be-
tween nations by the same philosophy
which has promoted peace between in
dividuals and communities.
I'VE are now spending $3.50, 000.000 a
year for preparedness. A great many
think this Is enough and are opposed
10 any increase at present. The bur
den Of proof is on those who say that
an increase is necessary, and il will
be hard TO prove this in view of the
Presidents statement that we are not
threatened from any quarter; that our
relations with all nations are friendly;
that everybody knows Of our capacity
for defence and that there is no fear
among US"

Following the Roosevelt bolt. in 1912,
and the defeat - the polls which FOL
lowed II. there came q vigorous demand
that the Southern branch Of the party
he stripped Of its disproporuonate
power. 10 was in response 20 this DC
mand that the national committee IN
1918 adopted the rules which have
worked out into the figures given above.
The rules. passed 80 20 !, provide
that each state shall have four dele
Catcs-at-large. that there shall be one
delegate for each Congressional DIS
trict and one extra delegate for eacn
district which cas-; over $500 Republl-
can ballots for President IN 1905, and
that Alaska and the District Of Co
nmbia should each have two votes, the
delegates from Hawaii. the Philippines
and Porto Rico rot being permitted 70
vote.
Such is the change accomplished. The
chief question now debated here is
whether the reform is radical enough
20 insure the adequate representation
Of every element in the party.
New System Progressive.
Defenders Of the new plan point out
that the subtraction from the Taft vote
az Chicago of the delegates cut from
the patronage" states under the new
system would have brought his vote
below a majority. and argue that this
proves that control has passed from
the hands Of the "Old Guard" AT the
time Of the change Senator Smoot esti-
mated that IL would reduce the South
ern and territorial strength in the con-
vention from nearly 40 per cent 70
about is per cent. Ii was declared that
the West, where the more progressive
strength Of the party lies, would be
able 10 make its voice heard.
Actually. some critics of the plan
now assert. the South has been re-
duced from 26 per cent of the total
convention vote to 20 per cent. Taking
geographical divisions, the South will
have goo votes in the next convention;
the territories, I New England, s.;
the Atlantic States, pa: the Middle
West. 300; the Northwest. 10; the
Mountain States, Sc. and the Pacific
States, 80. The control still lies in the
East and South.
IL is also pointed out that no change
has been made in the control OF the
national committee, which holds over
from the 1912 convention and will pass
on all delegate contests in 1916. This
committee has. however. voted to d.
vest itself of the right 90 pass on
contests In primary states. and will ac-
cept the certificates of election. This.
political experts point out, will con
siderably reduce the power of the com
mittee, as nearly 600 delegates will
come from primary states. But IL will
leave a very real power, since the 400
delegates remaining are certain. in case
Of a close contest, 70 hold the balance
Of power.
Committee decisions like those of
1912, when over 90 per cent of the con
tests went one way, would still make
the committee the dominant power.
There is. moreover. no limit to the
power OF the convention to pass on
contests, and the 1912 convention de-
cided that all delegates seated by the
committee. even when they were still
under contest, might pass on the con-
tests brought before the convention.
