 Rail Unions Behind Political Move.
 The program under consideration will in no way run counter to the plan of the American Federation of Labor. which has announced it's inten- tion of engaging aggressively in the cax inc railroad union leaders said they were in complete accord. Union heads said they desired to have their ideas worked out comprehensively for submission to the general conference next week.

MT. Bryan says he does not attempt to dictate but merely sum marizes his beliefs and opinions as a result of his study of the political pulse.
 He places the more important blanks in the following order:
 Endorsement of the administration of President Wilson
 National prohibition.
 Woman suffrage.
 Opposition to enforced military training
 Opposition to profiteering.
 Taxation.
 Labor problems.
 Public ownership
 Mir Bryan practically predicted the elimination of Governor Edwards of New Jersey. and soldier candidates on both sides for the presidential nomina- ton.
 Br. Bryan declares he has no dis position to suggest in advance blanks on which the democratic convention might be divided, but there are certain blanks which will be in the platform as a matter Of course These am willing to mention"
 Will Endorse Wilson
 There will be a plank endorsing the presidents administration MT. Bryan said. s"Not that every member of the party endorses everything the admin istration has done; not that majority of the convention will endorse every thing that has been done, but it has been a great administration and the democrats of the nation would not think Of entering the campaign on a repudiation upon platform silent on that subject.

LANSING WILSON
 SCAPEGOAT SAYS FRENCH JOURNAL
Republican A. p. Leased wIreJ

PARIS. Feb. 15.--Although all Paris newspapers gave prominence to Wash ington dispatches telling of the resig- nation of Secretary of State Lansing and his correspondence with President Wilson, few have commented editorially on the incident The news arrived too late for yesterday mornings news papers. which went to press an hour earlier than usual because of the day The Journal calls the event "a striking example of the autocratic regime the facade of which is democratic-''
 President Wilson" the newspaper continues, returns after his mysteri- ous illness, and comes to the conclu- sion that Secretary Lansing, during his absence, has been ruling as Lansing wished, and dismisses him. National representation and popular sentiment are not even consulted in reaching q decision in which Louis KY would have used more formality.
 Opposition has existed between Mr Wilson and MT. Lansing ever since the latter acted in the peace conference. MT Lansing was openly blamed for concessions MT. Wilson was forced to make, and the presidents illness alone
  between the two. Mir Wilson's motive in this matter however may have been complex. Is not Mir. Lansing called upon to play the classic role of the scapegoat. which assumes the burden of his superior's faults2 The choice of a new secretary will give interesting indication"
 In it's editorial on the incident, The Libre Parole remarks:
 President Wilson, who has gov
 erned his country seven years
 without the least regard for na- tionaI representation, who threw
 America into the war after win
 ming the election a peace pro-
 gram and who domineered over the peace negotiations. returns from a
 mysterious illness to accuse his foreign minister of governing auto oraticaIIy during his absence. Isn't that Imaginable? Mir Wilson has
 given the impression for some days that he is preparing to change his coat Isn't Mir. Lansing's disgrace the first step?"

Suffrage Amendment
 May Get Opposition
 in N. M. Legislature

SANTA FEE. N. NJ, Feb. 15--On the eve of sconvening of the special session of the fourth state legislature at noon tomorrow, ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment seems to have encountered tempestuous waters. One influential house member stated today that he has 21 members of that body committed against ratification and that he expects to have no diff cu1ty in obtaining the necessary 25 votes to block ratification. There are 4S house members.
 The campaign against the amend ment seems to have been carried on very quietly. It was believed that rati fication would be accomplished without difficulty, this opinion being based upon the showing make by the friends of suffrage during the regular session in 1919 when attempt was made to submit a constitutional amendment giving women the ballot in New Mexico but which failed by a few votes to ob tain the necessary two thirds majority.
