Former Says Compromise But
President Wants Question To
Go Before People Of
The Country
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Jan. 9-Today the
rank and file of the democratic
party as well as leaders through
out the country are studying the
opposite announcements of Pres
ident Wilson and William Jen-
nings Bryan at the Jackson Day
dinner here last night and are at
tempting to assess their effect
on the party's fortunes at the
forthcoming San Francisco ma
tional June 18th and at the polls
next November.
Many political observers feel
it is yet too early to accurately
estimate the positions in which
the cleavage between the Presi-
dent, who announced the League
of Nations issue should be placed
before the people as a Solemn
referendum and Bryan who con-
tended the party cannot go be-
fore country on the question but
should accept such compro-
mise "as may be possible"
The pronouncements furnished
twin surprises at the conclave OF
party chieftains which found its
climax at the dinner last night.

SAN FRANCISCO
Gets CONVENTION

Washington, Jan 9.-The Demo
cratic National Convention of 1926
will be in San Francisco and will
open at II o'clock noon Monday, ] dne
28. In selecting San francisco to be
the city to entertain the next Demo
cratic National Convention the Demo
cratic National Committee to-day sci
a political precedent, as it will be the
first national convention Of either
party to be called west of the RockJ
Mountains.
There was a lively contest between
Chicago, Kansas City and San Fran
cisco for the honor of entertaining
the convention. On the first ballet il
developed that San Francisco had con-
siderably greater strength than either
Chicago or Kansas City, and un-
animous decision in favor of San
Francisco soon was reached.
San Francisco made by far the
most attractive financial offer. It of
fered a pledge Of $125,000 to the
Democratic National Committee anG
a further pledge to obtain $4,000 tc
be an entertainment fund.
Its delegation demonstrated tha'
no city outside of New York or Chi
cago could offer hotel accommoda-
tions comparable with those of Sar
Francisco. The delegation also show
ed that San Francisco was able t.
house the convention in the fines
auditorium of the continent, the gift
cf the Panama-Pacific international
Exposition.

Representative H. N. Dean, of
Jackson county, is in town from
Frankfort, where the legislature
adjourned over till Monday. Com
nlttee lists, being worke out
for the House and Senate will be

is greatly in favor of the building
OF a good road between Mckee
and Richmond. He says that the
people of his county voted $125,4-
1000 in bonds to build an inter
county seat road, almost unani-
mously and that they want to
build it to the Madison line near
Big Hill, if the Madison people
will meet them half way. He
says that Laurel county wants
the road to come toward it and
extend from the Laurel to the
Estlll county seats. The plan in
Jackson county, if Madison coun-
ty co-operates, however, is to
build the road from Clay county
to Madison county. ar. Dean
says that such pike Jill give
Richmond and Madison county
iaccesS to a tremendous am6Nnt of
trade, and open up a vast Nrri-
tory that is enormously rich. The
Jackson county oil fields are wv

Break Comes At Big
Jackson Day Dinner

Washington, Jan. 9-Pres;dent
Wilson and William Jennings
Bryan, his former Secretary of
State, came to a definite break
last night on the ratification of
the Versailles peace treaty, which
may have not only the gravest
national and international conse-
quences but may result in split
in the democratic party.
President Wilson, in a letter to
Homer S. Cummins, Chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mtttee, read at the Jackson Day
dinners at two Washington hotels
repeated his dictum that the
treaty, including the covenant of
the League of Nations, must be
taken without changes which
would alter its meaning.
The President declared that, in
case of the failure of such rat y
cation, the one way out was to
submit the matter to the voters
of the country and give the 1920
Presidential election "the form of
a great and solemn referendum. .
Mr.. Bryan declared that the
democratic party could not afford
to share the responsibility for the
delay in ratification of the teaty
which would be necessary in CT
der to present the issue at the fall
election.
He contended that the United
States should be governed by a
najority, that the republicans had
a majority of the Senate and that
the democratic party could moi
afford to take advantage of con-
stitutional right of a minority OF
the Senate to prevent ratification.
The former Premier also took
issue with President Wilson on
Article X, which the latter wrote
and which,, he frequently has as
serted, would bind the Unitec
States to defend the political in
dependence and territorial integ-
rity of any other member of the
League, as against external ag-
gression. 1t is the principle point
at issue in the controversy be-
tween the President and the I'm
tied States Senate, and the Pres
ident has been insistent through
out the treaty fight that it "must
be ratified" without change.
Neither can we go before the
country on Article X" said Mr.
Bryan, after declaring that the
democratic party could not afforc
to make the League of Nations al
issue in the presidential election
"If we do not intend to impair Il
right of Congress to decide thu
question of peace or war wher
the. time Tor action arises, how
can we insist upon a moral obi
CATION to go to war which cal
have no force or value except a
il does impair the independents,
of Congress? We owe it to th'
lvorld to join in an honest effor
o end war forever, and that eff
ort should be made at the earli
st possible moment"
\ Nothing could have been NOR
at variance with the previousl
expressed views. of the Presiden
than Mr.. Bryan's declaration tha
an insistance upon the moral obi
CATION under Article 10 would i'm
lpair the right of Congress.
