FOR REFERENDUM
Wants Government Ownership, Big

Jennings Bryan has not waited for the
jackson day dinner of the Democrats
TO spring his personal platform upon

will advocate IN the coming campaign,
to which, the peerless leader says, the
candidate he win support must pledge
himself Mr.. Bryan declares himself
less interested IN the individual than
in the issue. Picking out the high
points from the Bryan statement, il is
evident that Mr. Bryan win place his
dependence upon popular referenda for
the solution of some of the great ma
tional problems notably war and other
| corollaries of the international situa-
ton, rather than the wel-considered
judgment of the representatives of the
people. He would even have the Amer
lean delegates to the league of ma
tons elected by the people from FIVE
separate districts. AS quoted in the
Sun, Mr. Bryan stands:
For government ownership of rail
roads, telephone and telegraph com
panics
Against the reduction Of taxes OF
'big business.
Against compulsory arbitration Of
labor disputes.
For a cloture rule in the senate
/ For n national extension Of the in
itiativc and referendum.
For referendum on war.
For majority instead of two
thirds rule in the Democratic nationa
| convention.
