WAsHiNoToN. Jan. 1S.--President vii.

OF the Democratic party in vigorous

OF speeches IN the West and Middle West
In advocacy OF the national defence pro-
sramme and the other poIicie. OF the
| Administration.
The Presidents tour, while designed
primarily to stir UP public opinion ia a
way that will force the national defence
programme through Congress. will. in
reality. be OF a political chara cter. It
will represent the Presidents acceptsnce
Of William j. Bryan's challenge to pro-
tee, his leadership of the Democrats
party.
President Wilson and his advisers
realize that his political future depends
IN large measure on the national de-
renee issue. Mr. Wilson never showed
any particular interest In national de.
fence until within the last SIX months IL
became Of vital poiiticai oonseouence
For him to be defeated on this issue
after espousins II In the face of his
earlier indifference would. his friends
oeheve. destroy virtually all hope OF his
reelection.
Furthermore. 81 IL apparent that n

himself politically and will have formed
the groundwork for a fight against Mr
Wilson's denomination.

to take the stump. There are. however.

They believe that II the President starts

Bryan will follow suit. and that before
many days the country will he con.

one speech led to another In that cam
paisn until President Taft and Col.
Roosevelt were following on each Others
heels, and the dignity OF the Precedence
was undergoing a severe strain.
Ihere were evidences In that cam
