VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS
IS FORECAST BY BRY AN
Former Secretary of State Presents Ten Claims of His
Party for Consideration and Discusses Unity,
or Lack of It, Among Republicans.

william Jennings Bryan believes the
Democratic party will win tho 1915
election. In an article IN tho current
Independent. he states this belief. but
not very cmphatically.
"Man's opinion OF what Is 10 be 10
Part wish and part environment" he
'and I cannot claim freedom from
the influence Of either wish or environ
ment when 1 construe the prospects to
favor Democratic success. Believing
that the party has earned the conn
dcnce Of the public. and ehould therefore
receive u. I believe Democratic success
probable. The party has done good
where the Republicans would have done
harm. and wherever It inas failed at all
tho Republicans would have failed more
~kignally."
There are three factors 10 be con-
sidered In calculating the outcome Of tho
next Presidential election. he W

can party.
Ten Claims for Psrty.
He makes ten claims OF hs party
for consideration under the first two
heads. with part Of his argument. they
are as follows:
First. the popular election Of Sena-
tom. for which the Democratic party had
been fighting since 1892.
Second, the Democratic party reformed
the rules OF Congress and gave 10 the
House Of Representatives real rcpresen-
tative government
Third, the Democratic party reduced
the tariff and substituted for Il the in
come tax. "the best revenue law which
the country hHs had IN Nifty years"
The fight ~ the Democrats for an in
come tax was responsible for it's cNab-
l!shment, he says.
Fourth. the Democratic party 10 en-
titled 20 credit for the new currency
law. Ia says the Republicans had been
talking currency reform for twenty
years. but had done nothing. he con-
tinues:

BRYANITE REVIVES
SINGLE TERM issue
Representative Bailey Urges
Constitutional Amend
mcnt in House.
HOPES FOR WILSON'S AID

WASHINGTON. March .o.-Rcprcsenta-
tive Warren Bailey Of Pennsylvania.
close friend OF william ]. Bryan. who
served with him AS a member OF the
committee o. tho Baltimore convention
which drafted the ono term plank. re-
,ived that Issue by Introducing In the
House to-day a resolution proposing Il
constitutional amendment providing for
u single elk year presidential term.
Mr.. Bailey asserts IN regard TO the
resolution that II was not int by
tho resolutions committee TO bind the
President to the single term plank and
that Mr.. Bryan took that point OF view
when the subjec; Was under corsidera-
ton.
A. . matter OF fact. from Mr.. BAiley's
account. Il was Mr.. Bryan WHO most
objected TO the proposal then under con-
siderAt!on by the committee. Speaker
Clark. he said. was leading In the ballot
ing when the matte. Was discussed. Mr..
Wilson was behind al the voting and
there waS still a possibility at this stage
Of the convention that MIR. Bryan might
be the candidate again.
'This Ia In line with the Marty pledge
made AT Baltimore and | think with the
sentiment OF the country" said Mr..
Bailey.
There has been "a feeling for years
that the single term was desirable. II
has also heen felt that a four year term
was too short. II has been my thought.
therefore. that In limiting the President
10 "A single term Il Was proper 10
lengthen the tenure 20 fix years.
There has been a LOT Of talk about the
single term plank OF the Baltimore plat.
FORM. and Demo- rat have been criticised
more or less In connection Herewith, but
most of this criticism has been unjust.
especially 10 President Wilson,. who WAS
not pledged TO a single term. but who
vas pledged by the platform TO the 'prin-
cip'e' OF a single term.
~ was = member Of the committee on
resolutions and I recall distinctly that
Mr.. Bryan objected to a proposal that
the nominee should be pledged IN a
single term. The Sebrsskan insisted
that TO pledge the nominee to the prime
c.ple WAS sufficient In the absence OF the
required Constitutional amendment urged
by the platform. II Was Mr.. Bryan's
thought ana that apparently OF n ma
Jority OF the committee that the length
Of tho term should be increased.
ut IL my hope and belief hat the
proposed amendment vii! secure the cor
dial support ~ the administration. To
deny II this support would give point
TO much o: the criticism II IA. plank

Crimes Of the Cat.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR was not so fortunate as to see your
editorial on "The Crimes of the Cat" but
am enabled to judge somewhat of its content
by Miss Weston's letter in recent issue,
which shows that the writer has very
slight II any conception of the inestimable
amount Of good which stands to the credit of
our Dir The position which the living bird
occupies m the great play of organic nature
is little appreciated and less understood by
most people as is evidenced every now and
then by letters like that of Miss Westons
Il has been said that the food relations of
birds are so complicated and have such far
reaching effect upon other forms of life
Chiefly vegetable life) that the mind of man
may never be fully able to trace and grasp
them. Not only is this true, but few people
have any idea of the seriousness of the
menace to all growing things of the insect
pests, nor do they realize that we humans
are wholly dependent upon our little feath-
cred friends TO protect our grass, our trees,
our crops-which means, in short, our very
existence!
Not only do birds keep down the insect life
on the planet, but they are unconscious
Though none the less valuable) agents for
the distribution of seeds-playing an almost
unrealized part in the planting and fertliz-
ing, of barren lands.
Miss Weston's letter shows plainly that she
does not consider the greater good of the
greater number. Ones personal fondness for
cats should not enter into a discussion which
has for its object a much needed but little
advocated restriction of cat life The state
ornithologist's estimate that the farm cats
alone of Massachusetts, kill 100000 birds an
nually should be seriously considered This,
by the way. is based on the suppostion that
each cat kills ten birds a year a very con-
servative estimated, and that there is but one
cat to each farm, when as a matter of fact
as many as five cats are kept in some cases
Add to this number the killings of the village
and city cats and we have one reason for the
over-amount of insect life with which man.
to-day, has to contend. John Burroughs says
that cats probably destroy more birds than
all other animals combined excluding,
fancy, the small boy.
In the light of such facts as these, shall
We not have license, yes, and collars, too
and that soon, that we may retain the benef-
icent, tireless and altogether beautiful ser
vices of these willing servants, who merit our
protection, but cannot. alas ask US for it?
