difate for the presidency and veteran
politician. whose boast is that he was
running for the presidency long BEFORE
anybody being mentioned for that Office
today was ever known TO the general
public. has injected himself into the
tr1aty controversy not only. but into the
political situation within the Democratic
party.
Brother Bryan'S views on current
events were made known TO gathering
Of Democratic senator's here the other
night. at which certain well known
views which the Commoner has espous-
ed during the last twenty years wee
rGsurrectcd. together with certain new
ouss which he believes the Democratic
party should adopt IN its platform in
the next campaign.
So far as the treaty fight in concerned
the siEntficant fact is that Mr.. Bryan Is
for n compromise. He would like to see
FOR instance. a reservation providing tor
the direct election by the people Of the
United states OF their representative in
the council OF the League OF Nations.
But he believes that something can be
worked out Of the pending reservations
in order To bring the treaty out OF the
senate Really his ideas approximate
more closely those OF Senator Hitchcock
OF Nebraska, than those OF Senator Tn
dcrwood. oc Alabama. Apart from its
possible bearing on the Democratic eau

Hitchcock will be elected-therc Is I'M
uuestlonably an Interesting development
In Mr.. Bryan's tendency TO bury the
