BRYAN DENIES
SPLIT IN RANKS
OF DEMOCRATS
In Speech Before Chicago Club
Says "SpIit" Not Appropri-
ate Word to Describe Differ
enCe Of Opinion.

Chicago Jan. 10.--"There is no split
in the Democratic party" William
Jennings Bryan told Chicago Demo-
Gratis at the Ir.quois club here today.
1.-The Democrats know that the word
split Is not the appropriate word to
describe difference OF opinion"
Bryan said. The Democratic party is
built on the idea that no one man
thinks for everybody The only way
to find out what the people want is
to have controversy.
1.-THE difference between the presi-
dent and myself is only a difference in
method--not of purpose. l have agreed
with the president on so many things,
it perhaps is just as we'll that we should
differ on some things so That people
can see there are two of us"
my plan is this" he continued.
"Our leaders should call the Repub-
licans into conference, offer all possible
concessions, secure all possible conces-
sions from them and ratify the treaty.
IF this Is not possible, then we. as
the minority, should agree to withdraw
enough votes to make the Republican
majority a two-thirds majority so that
the treaty can be passed. Then the
issue would be squarely before the
country. II the country Is with us
they will repudiate the Republicans at
the polls and the treaty can be revived

word to the Democrats through Sena-
tors Colt and McNary to find out how
many Democratic votes they can get
for the McKellar- Kendrick reserva-
tions, sponsors Of which claimed
early this week that A Democrats
would support them. These reserva- .
tions go much farther than the inter-
pretations that Wilson in his letter to
the Jackson diners said he would not
object to-. They are, in fact, based
on the Lodge reservation program.
The effect of the Republican demand

vations show how much support they
can get will be to hring show down

senators declared. 1t was intimated
that the Democrats might hold a cau-

Marion Banks
Take Over Road
Bonds of County

Marion county banks through con-
certed action Monday morning over
subscribed the $4,000 bond issue
which had failed to find buyers at s Y
per cent. The action is said to have
been taken in support of the bankers
belief that the road work, which would
have ceased had the bonds not been
purchased, should be continued.
The bonds, it is said, were purchased
pro rata, according to the resouces of
the various institutions.
After the county court and commits
sioners had been puzzled for several
weeks as to the outcome of the sale
of the first $4,000 issue of county
bonds for road building purposes, the
bankers of this county met Saturday
and pledged themselves to insure sale
of the bonds.
The meeting was held at the court
house, Saturday afternoon, sixteen of
the twenty banks of the county being
represented. County Judge w. NJ.
Bushey and County Commissioners j.
T. Hunt and w. H. Goulet had asked
the bankers to assemble in an attempt
to find a solution for the dilemma with
which the county officers were con-
fronted. First efforts to dispose of the
bonds resulted in failure about six
weeks ago.
Due to the fact that many invest
ments offer more than the 5 per cent
interest which the county was iIrss
authorized to pay, there was no re-
sponse to the first advertisements of
securities. Bids will be opened July
Is, these being advertised at 51a per
cent. the highest interest rate than can
be paid by the county.
. saturdays action by the banks was
an expression of faith in Marion coun-
tv and its resources. The provisions
and maintenance of market highways
will add infinitely to Marion's progress.
