Ersnn Accepts the Challenge

MR BRYAN has promptly joined issue
A'A with the Presidents call to the Demo-
cratic party to carry the fight for rati,ica-
ton OF the treaty of Versailles into the
presidential campaign. He insists that the
senate acted within its constitutional au-
'horitE when by Il majority vote consist
ing o! thirty-four Republicans and twenty
three Democrats, the Senate adopted the
Lodge reservations. and urges immediate
ratification with the reservations already &C
copied upon the fundamental Democratic
principle OF the right of the majority to
rule
The situation as thus presented, is but
continuation of the direct antagonism be-
tween the attitudes of the two men, pre-
cipitated at the Jackson Day dinner in Janu-
