BRYAN FINISHES
PEACE MOVES,
GOES TO SOUTH
y
Nebraskan Sure Treaty Will
Be Ratified Because Peo
ple Desire It.
NO TIME NOW FOR VOTE
By WIIUAM PHILIP SIMS.
Staff Correspondent of the International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. —Having criss
crossed the country two or three times
within the last two weeks and revivi
fied the indelible stamp he long ago
puj/ upon his party, William Jennings
Bryan today completed bis mission and
left for the south, where he says he will
remain for some time "without any
plans.”
As he left the capital he expressed ut
most confidence that the treaty of Ver
sailles would receive ratification at the
hands of the senate on a compromise
basis, with reservations, and that the
pact would not be submitted to the vot
ers of the country iD the coming cam
paign. On the other hand he said that
while he had long favored the principle
of referendum he did not consider it a
possibility in connection with the treaty.
WOULD REQUIRE
MONTHS OF TALK.
"It would take months of discussion so
congress to pass such a resolution," he
said, "even if it could be done at all."
Asked upon what he based his hopes
for early ratification of the treaty, he
said:
“1. The safest basis for calculation is
that what ought to be will be. I
"2. It is known that eighty-one out
of ninety-six senators favor ratification,
differing only as to the x,-serrations, li
is fair to assume that in so large a
majority agreeing in purpose, some way
can be found of bringing sixty-four to
gether on some agreement.
OUTSIDE PRESSURE
FOR RATIFCATION.
"3. The pressure from outside is ail
for ratification and it increases daily.
Any dam will break if the water behind
it rises sufficiently. In thiß case there
is no limit to the rise, therefore the
break must come sooner or later.
"Finally the rivalry will he to see
which side can get the credit for giving
most. Heretofore it has been to see
which side could get most out of it.
"Devotion to a cause is shown by will
ingnes's to sacrifice rather than by will
ingness to enjoy.
“The people are much more Interested
in getting some kind of compromise than
they are in the phraseology of the res
ervations.”
Industrial Exhibit
Spaces in Demand
Practically every available space in
Tomlinson hall for the industrial show
to be held under the auspices of the
Optimists club Feb. 17 to 2i, has been
taken, according to C. P. Brackett, chair
man of the space committee. By ar
ranging the floor conservatively sixty
five individual spaces have been pro
vided.
The last day for signing by ex
hibitors will be Feb. 3, but Mr. Brackett
announced today that the contracts likely
would be closed this week.
“I am pleased with the demand we
have had for spaces,” declared Mr.
Brackett. ‘‘After the last contracts have
been closed we can determine the amount
of money to spend. The demand for
space indicates an unusual interest by
th members of the club and we are
confident the show will draw some large j
crowds.”

Gen. Wood, Senator Johnson and Gov.
