Of the proposed resolution backing
President Wilson in his treaty fight
but Bryan, according to the politica

Bryan believes, it is understood
that the democrats of the nation
would rather follow him and get
some kind of treaty than to follow
the president and possibly get NJ
treaty at all.
The climax of the Bryan Wilson

when Wilson's message to demo
