SILVER-T0NGUED BRYAN
SPEAKS IN GLASGOW
AT DEPOT EN- ROUTE TO GREAT FALLS AND AT
BUTTE-INSISTS UPON PROHIBITION AND
=, ANTI-PROFITEERING PLANKS IN
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM r.

The good people of Glasgow and
vicinity were favored with visit and
five minute speech from the steps
Of the train last Tuesday morning by
Honorable William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan was not at his best but he
said some very pungent things from
the political point Of view. He hand
ed few bouquets to the republican
party and referred to their convention
and platform in the stock political
way and seemed anxious to stir up
the republicans.
He declared that he could not sup
port any candidate who ran for pres
ident who was not dry and stood upon
a dry plank. Two things must be en-
phasized if they are to have the vote
of the commoner and these two things
are prohibition and profiteering. Mr..
Bryan is above all else great moral
preacher and puts his ideals of moral
things above the political and the pol
icies of old line politics. Mr.. Bryan
hopes the vests and the profiteers of
the democratic party will all 60 over
to the republican party before they
are arrested and then they can go into
the penitentiary as republicans and
save the democratic group from fAs<
ther stigma. His address was In all
things distinctly campaign nssteria
and at least had the attention Of tht
people of our city.
Mr.. Bryanspassed through Glasgow
ron his way to Great Falls and Butt
where he was to speak on the sam
themes as here, and from reports sait
very much the same things. Tht
Record-Herald reports him hs follows
81 hope you are all good democrats
because don't want to hurt anyone'i
feelings" said Mr.. Bryan. There was
laughter from the crowd and shouts
Of tell us about the platform"
In response to this appeal Mr.. Bry.
an said: 81 hope to see a platform
adopted as unlike the republicans as
it can be made for l feel that in the
proportion that it is different it will

for the principle that honesty is the
best policy, which is the farthest re.

to the platform adopted at Chicago
A man in the crowd yelled, "How
about prohibition
Won't Commit Suicide.
"If the party dies, it will die in
November instead of committing sui
eide in June" responded Mr.. Bryan
1t took quite while for this to soak
in, but finally the crowd assimilated
it and there was laughing and clapping
of hands.
~ consider it suicide for wet plank
to be put into the democratic plat
FORM" he said. "The abolition Of the
saloon is the greatest moral victory
this nation ever saw and three-fourths
of the democratic senator's, two-thirds
OF the democratic congressman and
every democratic state has ratified it.

WILSON DISCUSSES
MILITARY TRAINING
Asks House Democrats Not to Op-
pose II at To-NightS
Caucus.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9-President
Wilson in letter 20 Secretary Baker
to-day advised the Democrats Of the
House not 20 oppose universal military
training at to-night's caucus. lie said:
In the present circumstances 1t
would seem to me unfortunate to make
party issue upon this subject, par
ticularly since within a few months the
party will assemble in convention and
declare the principles upon which II
deems IL wise to commit itself In a
national election.
The present disturbed state OF the
world does not permit such sureness
with regard 20 Americas obligations as
10 allow us lightly 20 decide upon this
great question upon purely military
grounds while the demonstrated Rd-
vantage to the youth of the country
which came from military service in
the war plainly suggests that in the
national interest quite apart from
purely military considerations. a mod
crate and carefully conducted course
Of universal training may have the
highest possible advantages.
In our discussion OF this subject YOU
wih recall / gave my approval in prin-
ciple to the very moderate training
project suggested by the General Staff,
and would be very glad 10 have you
convey to appropriate members Of the
| House who will attend the caucus my
strong feeling against action by the
caucus"
The President also sent a similar let
ter 70 Representative Caldwell.

Lockett's life was saved last week
when Governor Morrow, hearing OF
the formation of a mob in Lexington,
took charge OF the State penitentiary
at Frankfort, where the negro was
brought for safe keeping. Ordering
deputy sheriffs to guard all ap-
proaches to the penitentiary MoTrow
sent Sheriff Balm of Franklin County
toward Lexington with Instructions
to prevent the mob's entering the
state capital.
The Sheriff met the mob in auto
mobiles on the outskirts of the city.
Placing his own automobile crosswise
in the street, Balm persuaded the
crowd to return to Lexington, thirty
miles away.

SOME QUESTION RIGHT OF THE
MAYORS ORDER.

Some truckmen we're disposed TO
question the right of the Mayor un-
der the "police" or any other "power, "
TO order everybody or the highways
who isn't handling milk, food, coal,
snow, mail or newspapers. The order
was generally obeyed, however, re-
Election suggesting that anybody who
sent out his truck with conditions
as they are might be hauled up for
one of one hundred possible infrac-
tions of the traffic rules.
Few, apparently, cared TO be
brought before a Magistrate for an
alleged violation OF the ordinances at
a time when business generally had
been asked by the Mayor to lend a
hand.
Patrolmen reported many viola
tIons OF the sanitary laws in the
tenement districts of the east side
and the Bronx. There were many
conspicuous individual instances OF a
disposition TO help, they said, but Sc
many other cases of throwing rub
bish and refuse into the streets, in
stead of burning them, that the high
purpose of the few was rendered
negligible.

Some downtown streets are still

IT, This afternoon some Broadway
green cars we're standing still exactly
where they were stalled last Wednes-
day night and citizens were inquir!ng
whether Receiver Hedges of the New
York Railways means them for
permanent decorations.
Mr.. Hedges said that between 400
and 500 motormen, conductors and
shop men are at work clearing the
tracks. The Lexington Avenue Line
is now operating southbound cars
between 99th and Goth Streets and
northbound cars between 42d and
99th Streets. The Broadway Line is
opened between 50th and 18th Streets
for southbound traffic and between
18th and S5th for northbound. The
Sixth Avenue Line is opened from
50th to 36th Streets for south and
from SOth to SD for northbound
traffic.
On the upper west side it was re-
ported that Broadway and Riverside
Drive are in fair condition. Other
streets in that part of the city are
in as bad shape, or worse, than what
can be seen all around the city.

oDGE ADMITS RESERVATIONS
NEED REVISION.

The Republicans, however, have
been strengthened by the utterance
OF Viscount Grey TO the effect that
Europe would accept reservations.
Everything now depends upon tho
form in which they are presented.
Senator Lodge admits that some of
his reservations were drawn rather
hastily and put into the debate at a
moment whom careful revision was
not possible. once in the debate they
could not be redrafted, though the
bipartisan conference recently made
good progress toward revising the
Lodge reservations.
II was on Article X. that the break
came. The fact that President Will
son wrote a letter at that time
Jan. 26-outlining his views on reser-
vations was not made known until
last Saturday to the Democrats or
Republicans. Here was a tactical
error Of regretable proportions. The
responsibility. Is plainly on the
shoulders OF the President. for Sem
ator Hitchcock himself wanted to
make that letter public. 1t was writ
ten before Viscount Gray wrote his
letter to the London Times. II would
have revealed that the President was
not stubbornly trying to get the
treaty through without any qualifica-
tion whatsoever and might have pre-
vented the bipartisan parleys from
breaking cup.
And there is no telling how far ad-
vanced the treaty situation would
have been months ago II the President
had permitted Senator Hitchcock to
say last November what he now au-
thorzes him to state to the Senate
namely that the President approves
OF reservations 70 the treaty.

Massachusetts, Senator Says
His Own Plan is in

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9 Copyright.
192O).-As the Senate takes up once
more the job Of trying to reach an
agreement on the form in which the
peace treaty shall be ratified, the
most significant piece OF news Is
that President Wilson has said ex-
plicitly just what reservations he
would accept. Though his advisers
have been urging him for months to
do so. Mr.. Wilson, for reasons Of his
own, has steadfastly refused to erase
from the public mind the impression
that he wanted the treaty ratified by
the Senate without 30 much as the
crossing Of a 1t" or the dottlng Of
an a."
Though the Presidents concession
is belated, it is nevertheless vital and
clears the atmosphere to this extent:
Both the President and his opponents
favor reservations and the debate
now centres on how many shall
there be and what they shall contain.
The Senate again and again re-
fused by its votes to amend the
treaty and Mr.. Wilson is determined
that under the guise of ''reserva-
tions" amendments shall not be made
that impair the validity OF the whole
document.
