Thinks Congress Will Follow
Wilson's Interpretation of
Party Pledge s.
(Fro/n Th? Tribune Bureau. 1
Washington. Nov. 10.-William J. Bryan
arrived In Washington to-night and will
spend about a week here with his son.
William J. Bryan, jr., a stifdent at
Georgetown Unlveraity U? School.
"The Cornmonei" was silent on th, re?
port that he will be tendered th, office of
Secretary of Stats by Prasldeiit-etect Wll
aon, but h, expressed the conviction that
the Democratic Congress would undertake
a downward revision of the tariff and
fulfil the promises laid down in the Bal?
timore platform, "as Interpreted by Gov?
ernor Wilson."
In regard to the possibility of a- special
session of Congress Mr. Bryan said:
I do not care to discuss th, question of
a spe.ial session of Congress, as Governor
Wilson has It under advisement, further
than to iay that I have for several yeare .
favored a change In the sessions so as !
to make the first session convene Imme- I
dlatelv after Inauguration, so that the
second sesrlon would end before th, next
election This would give a double ad?
vantage? first, it would give a more Im?
mediate response to the wishes of the
people as expressed at the polla, and.
second, it would relieve the country of
the disadvantages attendant upon the ses?
sion now held after the Presidential elec?
tion.
"Will th, fact that the D?mocratie vic?
tory was due to a division of the Repub?
lican partv rather than a material gain
In the Democratic party prevent the
Democrats from carrying out their i
pledges regarding a reduction in the
tariff*" was asked.
"No." Mr Bryan promptly replied "If
the Republicans felt that th, tariff re?
ductions as promised in the Democratic
platform would Injure the country they
would have stood together and tried to
prevent Democratic auocese. Each wing
Of the Republican party admitted that the
succee, of the other would be worse than
Democratic victory."
"1 take it for granted that Congress will
ict along lines laid down by the Balti?
more platform, as Interpreted by Gov?
ernor Wllaon." said Mr. Bryan regarding
probable action on the tariff.
'Governor Wilson has Insisted In hia
speeches that there should be a reduction
Of the tariff and legislation which will
rBSBS a private monopoly impossible."
While In Washington Mr Bryan will
stay at the home of hla eon, No. 1U0 Bel
