Wool Man Says Nebraskan
Framed" u. S. People.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Jan. 49,
W. J. Bryan was named here today by
Frank J. Hagenbarth as an agent for
the high cost Of living.
Hagenbarth, president of the American
Wool Growers association, told his con-
vention today:
ut isanow seven years since an iniquit-
Gus frameup, engineered by W. J. Bryan,
fastened these free trade shackes on
the unorganized American farmers. It
is only by the grace of God and the
artificial help Of the war that American
meat and wool husbandry has survived"
HagenbRrth attacked the railroad al
ministrahon and the federal trade com
mission.
Railroad service has been so poor as
to inspire the thought 1t was deliberately
so,' he said.
Criticizing the trade commission, Ha-
genbarth said the big packers are
"quasi-public institutions and should
operate under fair federal supervision"
Hagenbarth claimed there win be no
reduction in wool prices. He asserted a
so per cent reduction in the price of
wool would mean only a $3.50 reduction
on suit OF clothes.

BORAH ASKS WOODS
VIEW on TREATY.
Senator Borah, one OF the irreconcili-
able group of republicans, today wrote
GenA Leonard Wood a letter much like
the one he recently addressed to Gov.
Lowden of Illinois Borah asked Wood
as a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for the presidency, to state his
position on the league Of nations.
President Wilson is keeping In close
touch with all movements now under
way in the senate to effect a comprc-
mise on the treaty.
Today the president received a com
plete report on the bipartisan confer
ences which were held last week be
tween Senator Lodge and republican and
democratic senators. Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, and Secretary Tumulty held
a long conference yesterday, walking for
many miles in the brisk winter weather
and discussing fully the treaty situation.

with any other proposal for bringing to-

There is growing feeling IN the sen
ate that the discussions now going on
will result during the week in an "agree-
ment to disagree" which will once again
demonstrate that the democrats are
standing firmly against any reputation
of American obligations under the league
OF nations and that the Lodge group of
republicans are just as firm for the
Lodge reservations.
The bipartisan conversations will be
resumed late today in Lodges office.

new ideas of loose and dangerous kind.
Referring to the activities of reds" he
