PARIS REPORTS
 ARE CONFIRMED

London, April 23 - The London Times today confirms the Paris re- ports of yesterday that Preniers Lloyd George and Nitti had urged that a German representative be sum- moned to San Reno for the purpose of revising the treaty of Versailles but that the proposal collapsed owing to French and Belgian opposition. To this the newspaper adds:
 We understand that any attempt to revise the treaty without consult ing the United States will be resented by America. who will consider Eng. land responsible for any complication that may ensue."

FREIGHT STRIKE
 NOT "OUTLAW''

The strike of the freight clerks and handlers at the steamship dock is not an outlaw strike, according to F. x. O'ReiHy, the chairman of Gocal No. S1, Brotherhood of Steamship Clerks.
 The strike in New York city was called by the Brotherhood and when the management finally agreed that the men were entitled to the increase in wages which they demanded the officials refused to take the men back and this was the reason that the men at Bridgeport, New Haven and other Sound ports were called out.

Mr.. Bryan's Silence.

On the Saturday night before election for
many years William Jennings Bryan has spoken
in Omaha, carrying his message TO thousands
who honor him for his own attributes, regard
less Of party. He has preached the gospel OF
democracy to more people than any other living
man This time the silver tongue did not drip
with honeyed phrases. nor swing with sonorous
clamor in behalf of the candidates of the party
it has served so faithfully for 80 years.
Mr. Bryan is reported to have made the
finest effort of his fife in his appeal to the con-
vention at San Francisco. He was battling for
his idea Of right, of justice of decency, for
nominee he might be able to defend before the
world. Murphy Nugent Taggart, Brennan and
their cohorts derided him, Aouted him. hooted
him. and dragooned the delegates into voting
for the man Mr.. Bryan said was the least fitted
and poorest qualified OF all whose names were
before the body. The "big four" bosses took
vengeance for Baltimore; the party broke away
from Bryan and lined up back of Tammany.
Yet some of them expected that Mr.. Bryan would
swallow the insult. stultify his convictions. set
aside his sense of honor and obligation, and at
least give Cox the lip support that has flown
so freely from others who were there.
They did not know the Great Commoner as
we'll as they thought He has kept his own
standing in the party unassailable; while he has
not supported its nominee he has not openly
opposed him When the democrats gather in
convention in 1924. Mr.. Bryan will be there,
his judgment vindcated and his influence en-
hanced. but, oh, brethren, what wouldn't the
Coxites have given if Mr. Bryan had followed
his custom and closed the campaign at Omaha
on Saturday night with speech supporting The

WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS.

When you 60 to the polls on tomorrow you
will assist in deciding some of the most mo-
mentous and important issues ever presented to
Americans Your vote will express your views
towards your countrys future not for just a
few days or 4 single presidential term, but per-
haps for generations. 1t will also record your
verdict as to some things that have lately been
done in your name.
You will be choosing between continuing
futile debate over treaty provision and the
solemn pledge of a great party and its candidate
to bring peace with honor and security to the
republic
You will make choice between scheme
that contains danger for the United States and
definite plan for an association OF nations in
agreement to prevent war.
You will give your support to party pledged
to keeping up the existing confusion in public
and private affairs, and one that promises to
set up order as rapidly as permanence OF build
ing will permit
You will have your opportunity to endorse
the recklessness of the Wilson administration
in handling war undertakings or you can rebuke
the bunglers who permitted these things and
made possible the aircraft scandal the Muscle
Shoals mess the Nitro spree, and all the long
list of costly adventures from which only the
war pro6teers gained anything.
You can give your approval to the muddling
of management after the war, that has enabled
the manipulation of prices so that while wheat
and corn and meat and the like have gone down,
and the farmer is getting less than ever for his
product coal and sugar and others things needed
in the home went sky-high, or you can vote to
do away with such government and put in one
that will deal with facts and not with dreams.
If YOU think the record OF the democratic
party deserves further commission in power; If
YOU are content with the way Rurleson has
run the postoffce; if you happy over the
way Daniels has handled the navy; if Crecl's
record of admitted mendacity is satisfactory to
YOU: if the deception and duplicity that has
characterized the entire course Of the admins
tration accords with your views of decent, gov
ernment you can express such views by voting
for Cox.
However, if you are in line with real Amer-
cans who deprecate and resent the chicanery,
the pompous pretence and ptiable performance,
the vision that can embrace the woes of the
world but fails to observe the problems tina.

You vote on Tuesday will be the most i'm

York Neb., Oct. 27.--To the Editor
! of The Bee: AS Governor Cox has
| come and gone 1t is not out Of place
! to take his measure especially II we
/ use his own tapeline, and measured
, by that he is found wanting in the
very essentials that are vital factors
! in the making vi statesman of
presidential size. He shows that in
several ways. one Is the making
! charges that he cannot prove and
when he is called on to give his
proof to say he has not the time
let the others disprove it. That is
fine way for man to act that Is
aspiring to be president of the
United States, and then whine like q
baby because the other fellows don't
fight fair; that the papers are not
giving him space and boost enough
or as much as he thinks he should
have. but that is due to the differ
ence of opinion between he and them
as to his worth.
Then he is playing two losing
cards in this game. one is his charge
Of that big slush fund with which
he is to be buried in defeat by the
corrupt use Of it in buying up the
electorate for his opponent. In the
first place, the charge Is an insult to
every decent democrat in the coun-
try Because it is either a charge
or an admission that his party Is a
set of corrupt sell-outs and that they
will sell their votes to the republic
an committee if they will offer them
the money. l just wonder how they
like that. You can guess by this
time how / would like IT.
The second card is his stand on
the league Of nations. He says he
is in complete accord with Mr.. Will
son on that, yet ne says he Is In
favor Of interpretative reservations
to safeguard the United States.
over us. Yes, sure, that is- all Mr..
Lodge and 25 Of his democratic
senators wanted and the only differ
ence between them was what they
thought was safe and what was risk
and what was doubt and uncertainty
Mr.. Wilson took swing arounn
the circle to enlighten the people as
to what the league covenant con.
tanned and made muss If II by CIV
ing such divergent explanations of Its
meanings and terms and powers that
he lost lots of friends Of the league
by the very methods he used to try
and show how strong it would be to
prevent wars because all the great
nations of the world would be in the
league and pledged to carry out its
provisions. Then when some of
Americas abest statesmen showed
the country that some Of its articles
are in square conflict with our con-
stitution andsagainst Dur safety, Mr..
Wilson rushed out onto the stage to
prove how weak it is by saying 1t
does not mean what 1t says or that
we will not be under any obligations
to obey the leagues orders, unless
we want; it will be just left to us to
choose our course. Then what has
he got as a league to enforce peace
any more than we have now. for can
we not now choose whether we will
take part or not?
If there is nothing in the league
covenant to have us do anything only
just as we wish to decide 1t when
