WILSON SHOULD RESIGN
SAYS ". ]. BRYAN
LLNIERNAIIoNAL NEws SERVICE

CHICAGO. Nov. 4-President-e elect
Warren G. Harding, should become
president as soon as possible. Presi-
dent Wilson's resignation and Hard
ing's appointment by Vice President
Marshall, followed by Marshalls
resi- ignation in turn. should accomplish
this, according to staement made
here today BY William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Wilson should resign at once
Bryan said Then Mr.. Marshall. as
soon as congress convenes, should
name Mr.. Harding secretary Of state,
and himself resign so that Mr.. Harding
may become president at the earliest
possible moment and carry through a
definite plan for peace"
Bryan arrived IN Chicago TO speak in
Oak Park this evening.
Declaring that the republican land
slide just accomplished was not the
result Of democratic. but of Wilson pol
icies."
The commoner said that President
Wilson cannot afford to delay the re-
storation Of peace
Mr.. Harding" Bryan said. cannot
refuse 70 assume the duties at once to
which the American people have called
him by an unprecedented majority"
Bryan declared he knew nothing Of
a proposed meeting to re-organize the
democratic party, but stated he believed
that such ganization would follow
naturally from this unprecedented de-
feat"
The commoner, IN his statement, said
the democratic party was forced to 90
into the fight under false banners.
The convention at san Francisco =
he siad, did not represent the rank
and file Of the party. The drys were
lulled TO sleep by the assurance that
the liquor question was dead and while
they slept the vets We're busy sowing
tares. The result OF the campaign
ought to make 1t certain that there
will never again be a wet bunch in
our convention willing to exchange the
constitution OF the L. S. and the ten
commandments for a glass of beer
Bryan concluded his statement by
voicing the belief that the result Of the
election was not a vote of confidence
for the republican party. but refuta-
tion and a protest" against democratic
leadership.

HOW BERLIN REGARDS
AMERICAN ELECTION
Call It a Severe Defeat for
Wilson, Not Victory of
Senator Harding
lIAIERNA1IoNAL NEWS sERyIcEl

BERLIN. Nov. 4-'The American
slection was not a victory for Senator
Harding nor defeat for Gov. Cox. but
a severe defeat for wisconsin" said
the vossisehe Zeitung today This de-
claration seemed to be the keynote Of
the comment in all sections of the
press.
The Americans used the ballot TO
express a danning verdict against Presi-
dent Wilson, said the Berliner Tage-
blatt.
It is a destructive verdict on Presi-
dent Wilson's policies" said the Taeg-
lische Rundschau.
The Tagcs zeitunS expressed the
opinion that Gov. Cox was the better
man" and probably would have won
If he had not taken over the wilson
ian inheritance"
The German press In general seems
10 be disincIined to rest many hopes in
President-elect Harding, but regards
him as the lesser of two evils"
In one respect We gain something
we arc free from Wilsonian," said the
Lokal Anzeiger.
Other newspapers take a similar view
except Die Freiheit. the organ Of the
Communists. which declares that
both republicans and democrats repre-
sent only ca,pitalistic interests and
that Germany will not secure any real
gains from either side
