Washington. Jan l0.-Twenty-four
hours nf cool reflection have convinced
official Washington that President VII
son has lost no strength and that William
Jennings Bryan. even IT he SO desires,
VIII not make as much as small dent IN
he political arnlo- of the Chiei Executive
There ~ not even a remote chance that
he leadership of the party will be trans
terrcd from the White House to the Com
noner office, and sober thinking states
mcu arc quite certain that Bryan really
does not desire such transfer.
Democrats from all parts of the country
nave eagerly united with President VII
son in the challenge TO Senator Lodge to
meet him before the people IN the coming
campaign. They look forward screueiy to
the contest and they express the fullest
confidence in the outcome.
IL will not be possible for bryan, no
matter how exalted his motives, 10 induce,
he administration Senator's 10 accept
The best possible compromise. \ frank
survey OF the situation and Il pnll of as
many Senator'S as could be reached since
the banquet justihcs an unqualified pre-
liction that the Treaty viii either he
ratified as President Wilson desires, or
PRESIDENT READY roR TESTS.
President Wilson is even more anxious
than William Jennings Bryan tn go be-
forc the country with the International
slate cleaned and with the Peace Treaty
removed FROM the realm Of discussion.
But he will risk the delay Of the great
domestic and reconstructIve program
which the country demands to give the
world a stable peace. something which
cannot come until the League of Nations
IS an accomplished tact,
Few Democratic Senators disagree with
the President on tins question and vast
majority eagerly welcomes an opportunity
tn do battle for their convictions on the
hustings next November. Senator Hing
~ / tab Is among tho very few who accept
the BRYAN philosopV that Il IS better
IN accept compromise than have nothing
NJ all But even be will stand bv the
President if it should become apparent
that tho country Is with hun.
NOT OPPOSING WILSON.

leader hy virturc Of hIs position, and also
by virtue Of the brilliant manner in which
he has led the party m the past want il
distinctly understood that ! am not op
posing the President am simply sug-
gesting way out of an embarrassing
international predicament.
IF MIR Bryan is ovcrruled, nobody
will more loyallv uphold the hands Of the
President He will get INTO line and Will
place all his influence at the disposal Of
thc party II the Treaty is 10 ho the para |
mount issue this year, will bow and 50
.ill MIR Bryan. | prefer, however, that |
We get Il out Of the way by getting. as
Bryan suggests, the very best compromise
the Republicans can offer.
There is little likelihood that President !
Wilson Will consider a suggestion for q /
'hlrd term, though already there has be- /
gun big trend IN that direction
