SPLIT HASPARTY
TAKING BEARINGS
Rank and File Trying to
Fathom What Effect
Will Be Produced by
Opposite Treaty Views.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Today the rank
and file of the democratic party. as well
as the leaders throughout the country
are studying the opposite announcements
of the two national leaders. rs.-President
Wilson and William Jennings Bryan on
the question of making the peace treaty
a presidential election issue-and are at
tempting to assess their effect on the
party's fortunes at the nominating con-
vention which will be held in San Fran
cisco June IS and at the polls next No
yember
Many political observers feel it is vet
too early accurately to estimate the ro-
s!tion in which the cleavage between the
presiien. and the foremost democrat in
private life leaves the party. They feel
that the situation must settle down
little and that the opinions of the rank
and file must be sounded.
Whether the position If the two men.
now definitely announced. means fight
in the national convention reminiscent of
the spectacular battle in Baltimore in
1912. when Mr.. Bryan forced the presi-
dents nomination, none of the party
leaders is willing to predict for publica-
ton.
Sentiment among the democratic lead
ers at the Jackson day dinner. as ex
pressed In their speeches, seemed to be
divided between support of the presi
dents decision and NJ. Bryan's posi-
tion while some Of the men who are in
the list of nominating possibilities did
not touch on the subject at all.
1t seems. agreed that Mr.. Rryan's
argument that the treaty should be rat
flied with such compromises as may be
possible will give a tremendous impetus
to the movement which Stenaily has been
goink on in the undercurrent of of SEN
ate for compromise of all factions in
putting through the covenant.

there cen be no reasonable objection to
