accepted the Lodge reservations and
ratified the treaty on that basis. He
has said that it was little short Of
crime to throw the treaty issue into
the presidential campaign, and he
undoubtedly proposes to go the limit
in opposing the Wilson program Of
having no. reservation plank writ
ten into the platform.
Frankly pryan doesn't relieve the

1t is no secret in inner Democratic
circles that Bryan's view is shared
by many of the rarity lea lers, whose
loyalty to the president cannot be
questioned. When the showdown
finally come on this issue, we shall
know better than it is possible to
know now just how firm hold the
president has on the Democratic par
ty.
If the Democrats go to the country
with a platform calling for treaty
ratification without reservations, Il
will be a remarkable demonstrators
of Wilsonion power, for it will be
against the judgment OF most of the
men who write the platform ard q
majority of the delegates who adopt
it.
That Bryan will submit to the con-

Treaty And Liquor Face
Platform Makers At
San Francisco
By H. N. RICkEY,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Two big is
sues will face the platform makers
at the Democratic convention at San
Francisco. Each of them spells trou-
BILE and disharmony. Together they
make a combination that promises to
precipitate the bitterest struggles IN
the history of the party
The party leaders are giving more
attention to the matter of platform
than to candidates because they
realize that if they misjudge public
sentiment on the peace treaty and
LIQUOR, whatever chances they may
have for electing a Democratic presl-
dent will be lost, irrespective OF VINO
the candidate may be.
This is one of the reasons why
the contest for the nomination is so
much less interesting among the
Democrats than among the Republl-
cans.
Bryan to Be There.
Whatever hope the Democratic
leaders may have had that thew would
be able to avoid knock-down-and
drag-out fight in the platform com
mittee and later on the floor of the
convention, has been given up, now
that Bryan has been elected a dele
gate-a large from Nebraska.
There is no mystery about where
BRYAN stands on the two disturbing
issues which the party will have t.
face and there is no doubt that he
is determining to put up the fight OF
his life to force his will on the con-
vention.
He has given notice time and again
during the past few months that the
