BRYAN SAYS PRESIDENT
YIELDS TO POOR ADVICE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 11.-Pic-
turing President Wilson as an en-
feebled man forced to rely, on council
lors who deny to him Information "es-
sential, to sound Judgment, and safe
leadership" William Jennings Bryan
again took Issue with him on the
League OF Nations in a statement Is
sued here commenting on the 'Presi-
dents call to the Democratic party TO
carry the fight against amendments
into the campaign.
He urged immediate ratification OF
the treaty of Versailles, with the reser-
vations already agreed upon, leaving
the question of the United states oo-
tanning later such changes as might
be deemed necessary. The present Is
sue is whether the Democratic party
adheres to majority rule, he said' not
whether the fifty-seven Senators VINO
agreed to the reservations, or the
twenty who voted against them were
right.
"Broken down in health by the
weight of cares and anxieties such as
have fallen to no other occupant OF
that office. the Chief Executive has
been denied the Information essential
to sound Judgment and sate leader
ship" Bryan said.

or unwisely in the adoption Of rescr-
vations, il acted upon a constitutional

fers upon the President he added,

councilmen. AT last nights meet
ing a request from Mayor Stodden
of permission to purchase two new
automobiles at city expense was pre-
sented. The matter was referred to
a special committee of five alder
men, who probably will put their
0. X. on the proposal, it was ru-

Although vigorous protests have
been made by more than a majority
of the property owners effected, the
city administration goes blithely on
its way toward installing the objec-

streets abutting on Harrison avenue
At last nights council meeting the
bond of Contractor Paulson who was
awarded the contract, was approved.
1t is pointed out that Of the $780,
900 the work will cost, the property
owners will have to pay approx
mately $4,000 over and above the
actual cost of the work to protect
Paulson from feared discounts on
the district bonds.
A number of the property owners
in the district are said to be con
templating injunction proceedings.

Through the efforts of Alderman
Lou Freudenstein at the meeting of

payers of the city will be saved the
useless expenditure of $500, the
spending of which had become an
annual custom with Butte's city ad-

When the proposal that the mayor
name the committee of three alder
men which is authorized to sit with

He declared that the plan was en-

the committee had no voice in the
