Predictions of a great split in the
Democratic party, with William Jen-
nings Bryan leading the revolt against
President Wilson's policies, came to
the verge of fulfilment at the big
Jackson day dinner in Washington
Thursday evening. Sensational devel-
opments had been expected, and they
came. The president sent letter in
which he reiterated his demand fer
ratification Of the peace treaty with
out changes that would alter it's mean
ing, strongly condemned the Lodge
reservations and urged that the entire
Issue be referred to the people at the
coming presidential election.
Mr.. Bryan, addressing the huge
gathering of leaders, challenged Mr'
Wilson's treaty policy and his utter
anees gave assurance that he and his
followers will fight the matter to the
finish in the Democratic convention II
necessary. He condemned the action
of the Republican majority in the SEN
ate while conceding its right to die
ued: "Our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as 1t Is.
We must either secure such compro-
misses as may be possible or present
the issue to the country. The latter
course would mean delay Of at least
fourteen months and then success only
in the case of our securing a two
thirds majority of the senate" The
party, said Mr.. Bryan, cannot afford
to share with the Republicans respon-
sibility for further delay, and cannot
20 before the country on the issue that
such an appeal would present. He
even went so far as to repudiate arti-
Gle x and to uphold the Lodge reser-
walton on that article, saying: IF we
do not intend to impair the right OF
congress to decide the question Of
peace or war when the time for action
arises, how can we insist upon a
moral obligation to go to war which
can have no force or value except as
It does impair the independence OF
congress"
It remains to be seen whether Mr..
Bryan can secure enough of follow
ing to bring about real split in the
party. He himself is potential cam
1idate for the nomination, now more
than ever, and it may be President

San Francisco captured the Demo
cratic national convention after a
warm contest with Chicago and Kan
sas City. The Pacific coast metropolis
pledged $125,000 and free use of the
Municipal auditorium, which seats
some 1900 persons. This is the high
est price ever paid for convention.
The date for the convention was set
for Monday, June %, three weeks after
the Republican convention meets In
Chicago.
The national committee backed UP
President Wilson by adopting resolu-
lions indorsing the treaty Of Versailles
and denouncing as unpatriotic the at
titude of senators who are trying to
defeat it or to qualify 1t by multiplying
reservations.
The Republicans also had an impor-
tant gathering, earlier IN the week,
when the party leaders Of the Il mid
