W. ]. BRYAN TO DISCUSS
| RAILROAD At MEETING

Washington. d. c.. Jan. zS.~-Few
things which are to be considered by
the people and the Congress of the
United States are more important
than the question. What shall be
done with our railroads." This will
be one OF the leading subjects dis
cussed at the Fourteenth Convention
C1ss sgS~te., 9TM:SA ~ sss5 As-.S ~ A,-s
city on the fifth, sixth and seventh OF
February
The argument In favor of govern
ment ownership viii be presented by
Charles F.. Neshit, OF Washington.
Mr.. Nesbit's business Is insurance, bun
he has made a special study of this
question for several years, Is thor
oughly familiar with the facts OF the
situation In foreign countries and will
make a forcible and interesting adj
dress In favor OF ownership of rail-
roads by the government of the
United States.
The argument In opposition to gov
eminent ownership and in favor Of
the permanent return OF the railways
TO private ownership and operation
will be presented by speaker whose
name will be announced shortly.
The American railway problem Is
one that admits of many more than
two solutions and a third method, in
volvtng dual system Of railway
ownership, will he advocated by Will
liam Jennings Bryan. On his return
from Europe some years ago Mr..
Bryan created quite a stir by giving
out an interview in favor of govern
ment ownership of railroads. but he
now favors a plan of divided owner
ship which will give the Federal gov
eminent complete control of railway
rates and practices and at the same
time avoid the enormous expense and
certain difficulties which are In
herent in government ownership and
operation.
After the presentation of these
three points of view the subject viii
be thrown open for discussion by the
convention. From the amount OF in
terest being manifested ii is evident
that the chief difficulty win be 10 find
time for all the delegates who viii
want TO be heard.
