| WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.---The demo
cratic party today was faced with
the alternative of follow ing President
Z Wilson's leadership and making the
peace treaty an issue In the Novene
Der elections or following W. J
Bryan's leadership and securing quick
ratification on the best compromise
terms possible.
In the opinion OF party leaders il
did not seem likely today that
Bryan's appeal to the Jackson day
hanQaetess here last night and early
today-he finished his second speech
at 2:S0 a. rT.--would have the effect
OF splitting the party or weakening
iNllsonfs control. According to wide
spread belief here, the treaty Will go
into the 1920 campaign as the para
mount issue, in spite of BryTan's argE.
ment against such a course.
! Wilson and Bryan are diametrically
opposed in this situation The presi-
dent in his message to the demo
cratic party read last night at the
opening of the jackson day banquets
in the Willard and Washington hotels
here, said: II there is any dolbt as
to what the people OF the country
think on this vital matter (ratifica-
tion) the clear and single way out is
to submit 1t for determination at the
next election.
In the face OF this and in the face
of a resolution adopted by the demo
cratic national committee pledging
the party to support the president in
the treaty fight, Bryan came ont I'M
eqaivocany against making It a cam
paign issue.
With regard to article ten to which
Wilson has referred as the heart OF
the league Of nations covenant Bryan
in his second speech early this morn
ing, said:
Il think the Importance OF article
ten has been very much magniied."
Wilson's message failed to clear up
the question OF whether he wall be
a third term candidate, but demo
cratic leaders understand he will not
be, although he may participate in
the campaign swinging his influence
to the candidate on the floor OF the
San Francisco convention whom he
deems best fitted TO carry on his
work for the treaty and campaigning
actively for election of senate
WINCH "lI EailRS IIe 0OCumSII as he
wants it Tatifed-that is, without
that alter its meaning.
Bryan in his fight for a quick com
promise apparently stands alone.
With the possible exception of for
mer Ambassador Gerard. the other
speakers at both banquets welcomed
the idea of making the treaty the big
1920 issue.
The issue from the white house to
Bryan's challenge to Wilson's leader
ship was awaited today with keen
interest.
Bryan spoke first at his hotel early
in the evening, making his set
speech. He arrived al the Willard
banquet hall after midnight and
listened TO several addresses. Then,
his prepared speech, he
took the floor and startled the
crowd, tired after five hours oratory.
by his out and out opposition to the
Wilson message, which had been
praised and applauded and com
mended all evening. After a few
formalitieS, Bryan shout
ed: "If just wanted to please you,

At 2:2o a. m. Bryan finished, while
some yelled, 'TG-o on, ten us some
more" Afterward some OF the crowd
gathered around him, shaking his
hand, while scores f1ocked out, some
being loud in their denunciatios OF
the Nebraskan.
Discussing. the suggestion that It
might be possible to have a refer
endum on the treaty before the 1920
election, Senator Borah said today
that it is nlanifestly impossible.
Borah, who all along has advocated
a referendum, said the time is now
too short. He pointed out that presi-
