PARTISANSTAKE ADVICE

Shortly after william Jennings
Bryan had visited the Capitol yes
terday afternoon a bipartisan con-
ference went into session to dis
cuss the vital points in the Lodge
reservations to the peace treaty.
The visit and the meeting were
considered in the light Of a coinci-
dence as Senator Lodge had called
Republicans and Democrats togeth-
er before the peerless leader" had
appeared. Still It seemed to be an
indication that the advice Of the
commoner 70 get together had
been taken seriously by his party.
Senator Lodge said at the close
OF the conference that there hae
been no real progress toward an
agreement, but the outlook was con.
sidersbly improved.
Tells Of ~New PoIIey.-
Prior TO this declaration NJ
Bryan had dictated to the press q
new policy" to be followed in
handling the peace treaty. After
having consulted with Democratic
Senators the Nebraskan adjourned
to the press gallery for a talk with
the boys" That his advice WAS he
ing followed in the Lodge confer
encc was the gossip after the sena.
tors had adjourned to meet araip
tomorrow.
Senator Lodge asserted thai tber.
was little TO give out. as Il was
merely the beginning Of negotiations
between representatives Of the two
parties. The Democratic Senator
had no definite plan to propose nor
did they take to the conference anv
actual draft The entire diseuss,on
was upon the Lodge reservations. in
which connection objections by rhs
minority were voiced.
The suggestions made were take,
under sdFisement by The Republican
members. OF whom there were four

The Democrats were represented by
Hitchcock. Owen. Simmons. McKeIlar
and Walsh, Of Montana.
First Get-to-Gether.
Yesterdays conference was the nrst
among the warring factions stncs
the rejection OF the Lodge program.
When the Senators meet again. IL is
expected the Democrats will have a
plan worked out on which the two
parties may meet. As Mr.. Bryan
will be in Washington at least over
today. it is practically certain that
his advice will be sought even u
his program for compromise will not
be accepted in toto.
As the Republican majority has
made it known that it will not yieid
on any Of the essential principles en-
bodied in the Lodge reservations, the
Democrats will have to go a long way
in compromising Should they thur
agree to important notifications the
President is not likely to accept, sc-
