LINCOLN. Neb. Jan. 11-William J. Bryan at his home here tonight con = tinued his efforts looking to ratifi- cation of the treaty of peace by nut usl concessions and compromise. My. Bryan tonight sent a number of tele- Erams to senators at Washington urg- ing them to unite in an endeavor to bring about ratification not later than the sixteenth of this month. It was peculiarly fitting, he declared, that ratification be accomplished by that time, the sixteenth was the date fixed for the first meeting of the league of nations at Paris. This req son, he said, appealed to him strong ly, and he believed it would have the same influence on members of the senate. He did not disclose to what individual senators the telegramS were sent, but said there were several.

Bryan tonight was tine principal speaker at a tenn perance jubilee meeting at the First Christian church. Tomorrow he will make three addresses at the Univer- sity of Nebraska convocation in the morning. at a monday luncheon at the Commercial club, and in the afternoon to the Nebraska constitutional con- vention- He leaves for the east in the evening, making a political address at Omaha tomorrow night

While he will be more or less active in political sense from now on- he has no definite itinerary mapped out looking to a tour of the country.
 Discussing political affairs in Ne braska, Mir. Bryan said the Iiuuor question had apparently about ceased to be issue. For sixteen years" he continued, from 1894 to 1910. we never had a dissenting vote in demo- cratic conventions in this state. Then the liquor question disturbed the party harmony for 10 years, as it has dis turbed party harmony wherever it has been an issue but the fight is over and the questiop is settled l expect 70 see a reunited democracy put Ne orask4 in the front rank and leader ship in all the progress of the nation
 Willing To Bury Hatchet
 MT. Bryan was asked if he thought old enmities aroused by the liquor question in Nebraska would disappear

I expect to deal with everyone on the basis of what he now stands for. regardless of differ ences we may have had over the liquor question:
