Lenders, of In¬ diana, and Mrf. Percy V. Pennyback- ar. of Texas, a resolution expresa- Ing appreciation of the Democratic woman of the country for the recog¬ nition accorded them in the party or¬ ganisation, waa read. By a decisive vole, the committee | tabled a motion by A. F. Mullen, of Nebraska, that It recommand to the national convention that the two- thirds rule for msklng nominations for President and Vice President be abrogated. Oovernor Brough of Arkansas, holding the proxy of Committeeman Wallai-e Davis, of thst State, asked that tha committee empower State committees to provide the machinery for selecting delegates to the nation¬ al convention from those States where the statutes Axed primary dates Later than the nstlonal convention. He ex¬ plained that in Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and aome other States the primaries are required, by law. to be held at given dates, and these dates are later than that chosen for the convention. Tbe committee declined to do so. Nasty lU-.v Get instant relief with 'Pape's Cold Compound" Don't stay stuffed-up! Quit blow Insr and snuffling!

President Wilson's Message Jackson Day Dinner 1*7 D»»r Mr. ChUrmin: It li wllh kMOMl r«|r«t (tat I find that I mb to be deprived of . the pleasure Mid privilege of Join¬ ing you and tbe uthel loyal Demo¬ crat* vbo are to assemble tonight to. celebrate Jackson l>ay and re- new their rovi of fidelity Ho the great principle* of our party, the principles which must now fulfill the hopes not only of our own people but of the world. The United States enjoyed tl>e spiritual leadership ef the world until the Senate of the United States failed to ratify the treaty by which the belligerent nations sought to efTect the settlements for which they had fought throughout the war. It la Inconceivable that at thl» supreme crisis and final turning point In the International relations of the whole world, when tbe results of the great war are by no means determined and are still questionable and depend¬ ent upon events which no man can foresee or count upon, the United States should withdraw from the concert of progressive and enlightened nations by which Germany was defeated and all altnllar governments (If the world be so unhappy as to contain any) warned of the certain consequ¬ ences of any attempt of a like Iniquity, and yet that is the effect of the course the Senate of the United Statea has taken with re¬ gard to the treaty of Versailles. Uermasiy Is Beatea. Germany Is beaten, but we are still at war with her, and the old stsgs is reset for a repetition of the old plot. It Is now ready for the resumption of the old offen¬ sive and defensive alliances which made settled peace impossible. It Is now open again to every aort of in-trlgue. The old spies are free to resume their former abominable activities. They are again at. liberty to make it im¬ possible for government* to be sure what miachief is being work¬ ed among their own people, what internal disorders are being fo¬ mented. Without the covenant of the League of Nations there may be as many secret treaties »» ever to destroy the confidence of governments in each other and their validity cannot be question¬ ed. None of the objects we pro¬ fessed to be flght Ing for lia* been secured or can be made certain of without this nation's ratifica¬ tion of the treaty and Its entry Into the covenant. This nation entered the great war to vindicate Its own rights and to protect anil preserve free government. It went Into the war to see it through to the end, and the end has not yet come. It went Into tl)o war to make an end of militarism, to furnish guarantees to weak nations, and to make a Just and lasting peace. It en¬ tered it with noble enthusiasms. Five of the leading belligerents have accepted the treaty and formal ratifications will soon be exchanged. The question is whether this country will enter and enter whole-heartedly? If it does not do so, the United Statea-and Germaqy will play a lone hand In the world. The maintenance of the peace of the world and the effective execution of the treaty depend upon the whole-hearted participation of the United States. I am not stat¬ ing It as a matter of power. The point Is that the United States is the only nation which has suffi¬ cient moral force with the rest of the world to guarantee the sub¬ stitution of discussion for war. - If we keep out of this agreement, if we do not give our guarantees, then another attempt will be made to crush the irew nations of Europe. Not Deelatow ef Natlea. I do not believe that this is what the people of this county wish or will be satisfied with, personally, I do not, accept the action of -lfee Senate of. the , United 8tates as the decision of . the nation.- I have asserted from the first that the -overwhelming majority of tha people of thla country deaire tha r»U#o»U*» o* the treaty, and my liupreaala* to that effect bu re«o«Uy «>¦- firmed by the unmUl»k»lil« deuce of public opinion given during my vlalt to aaventaan of the iltatee. I have endeavored to make it plain that If the Senate wialiea to ¦ay what the undoubted meaning of the league la. I ehall have no objection. There can be no re»- aonable objection to Interpreta¬ tions accompanying tha act of ratification Itself. But when tha treaty la acted upon. 1 muat know whether It meana that wa have ratified or rejected It. We can¬ not rewrite thla treaty. We muat take it without changea which alter Ita meaning, or leava It. and than, after the real of the world haa signed It. we muat face the unthinkable taak of making an¬ other and aeparate kind of treaty with Germany. But no more aa- aertlona with regard to the wiah and opinion of the country ara credited. Wtali Saasblt lane. If there la any doubt aa to what the people of the country think on thla vital matter, the clear and alngle way out la to aubmit It for determlntion at the next elec¬ tion to the voters of the nation, to give the next election the form of a great and solemn referen¬ dum, a referendum as to the part the United States Is to play In completing the settlements of the war and in the prevention In the future of such outrages as Germany attempted to perpetrate. We have no more moral right to refuse now to take part In the ex¬ ecution and administration of those setlements than we had to refuse to take part in the fighting of the last few weeks of the war which brought victory and made It possible to dictate to Germany what the settlements should be. Our fidelity to our ussoclatea In the war Is in question, and the whole future of mankind. It will be heartening to the whole world to know the attitude and pur¬ pose of the people of the United States. . ^ 1 J spoke Just now of the spir¬ itual leadership of th2 United States, thinking of international affair* But there Is anothsr spiritual leadership which Is open to us and which we can asauma. The world has been made safe for democracy, but democracy has not been finally vindicated. All sorts of crimes are being com¬ mitted In ita name; aU aorta of preposterous perversions of Its doctrines and practices are being attempted. This, In my Judgment. Is to be the great prlvlllga of tha democracy of the United States to show that It can lead the way In the solution of the great social and industrial prob¬ lems of our time, and lead the way to happy settled order of Ufa as well aa to political liberty. The program for thla achievement we must attempt to formulate* and In carrying It out we shall do more than can be done In any other way to sweep out of exist¬ ence the tyrannous and arbitrary forms of power which are now masquerading under the name of popular government. met I«i»lr»ftoa. Whenever we look back to An¬ drew Jackson we should draw fresh Inspiration from his char¬ acter and example. His mind grasped with such a splendid defl- niteness and firmness the prin¬ ciple of national activity. Ha was so Indomitable in his pur¬ pose to giye reality to the prin¬ ciples of the Government that this Is a very fortunate time to recall his career and to renew our vows of faithfulness to the prin¬ ciples and the practices of de¬ mocracy. I rejoice to Join you in this renewal of faith and pur¬ pose. I hope that the whole evening may of the happiest results as regards the fortunes of our party and the nation.

It was not an occasion for mere fun. It was a serious occasion, aa the Dem¬ ocratic leaders of the party realized the Issues which will arise in the 1920 campaign and realized that they were the party to do the people's will and carry out tha people's'will.

However much opinion may be dl vldcd on the question of ths treaty and making It the paramount Issue In th* political campaign thla year, there can be no two opinions as to who Is today the undisputed leader of the Democratic party. It la President Woodrow Wilson. The famous Jackson Day rally, with Its twin dinners, has coma and gone, and politicians remaining in the Capi¬ tal today are blinking their eyes over the complete domination of the parly's leader* by the Wllaon Influ¬ ence. His name acted like magic among them. Those who had claimed the President was losing his hold on the party have had to revise their opinions, and those who believed an¬ other leader was about to step In and assume the practical command of the Democratic cohorts have another thought. Wilion still has front place In the saddle of his party, and the reins are In his hands. Nor did he. In his message to th* meeting* last night, show any Inclination to turn them over to any other. ¦ryaa "Stampede" Mlaaiag. William Jennings Bryan, many thought, would sound the party "key¬ note" and stampede the rally to his side. But though Bryan's tongue held the sliver ring as of old. his eloquence did 'not bring about a stampede. The reception given Bryan by the members of his party, gathered on Jackson Day her* and In holiday mood, was not up to Impartial ex¬ pectation. It was not exactly cold, but neither was it fllled with per- fervld enthusiasm. Former Speaker of the House Champ Clark got a big¬ ger hand when he appeared at the New Wlllard, after his speech at the Washington Hotel; and the applause he evoked during hla speech was more spontaneous At one time nryan was actually heckled, presumably by his own po¬ litical kin, since none but Democrat* were Invited to the feast. , At fhe moment when the Commoner turned the corner of Ms speech and aald he must say something more, even at the risk of being unpopular, several voices raised an upcry at the south end of the hall. SkMt Far Piwileat. "Sick by the President:" some one ahouted loudly, and others took up the cry. "Stick by the President!" Bryan for a moment was silenced. He turned and faced the part of the hall whence had come the Interrup¬ tion. Those sitting near him saw hla jaws clench and his eyas blase for a moment with more than their usual fir*. "If the gentlemen whft raised their voices can guarantee," he said with some feeling, "that the country will vote the same as those at this meet¬ ing might vote, 1 will hush. Other¬ wise I will proceed." It was only an incident, a very mi¬ nor Incident, but It showed the temper of the crowd. It was a Wllaon crowd, and it was a Wilson night, Just as It had been a Wllaon day. The consequences of the clash be¬ tween President Wilson and William Jennings Bryan cannot be estimated now. This will require time. It may, and is expected to, Influence the Democratic National Convention, which will meet In San Francisco June 28. But it will not rreatly change tha course of the campaign proper.the fight between Democrats and Republicans from their respective conventions to the November elec¬ tions.

PERSHING 1920 BOOM BROUGHT TO CAPITAL Mark W. Woods Declares Country Wants Business Man Like A. EL F. Chief. A rest life-sised Presidential boom came to town today before the shout¬ ing: and the tumult of the Jackson bay dinner died sway. It was a John J. Pershing boom and It wai brought by Mark W. Woods chair¬ man of the Nebraska I'ershln^ tor President Club. Mr. Woods wis ac¬ companied by George J. Woodt and Frank II. Woods, also of Lincoln. Asserting that tjenersj Pershtng will be put forward as America's leader snd a r«sl business man, Mr. Woods said the West is already wild about Pershing and' the sentiment will be just as strong In the Kast within a short while. Americap 1-egion posts In every place General Pershing hss visited on his present triumphant tour are for tha commander of the A. K. F., and tha women of the country ara lining up for his candidacy, despite the fact that General Pershing has steadfastly discouraged support, Mr. Woods said. "Nebraska's delegation to the Re¬ publican National convention will be Instructed for General Pershing." Mr. Woods said. "Our only fear now is that the other candidates will withdraw in Nebraska. We ara anx¬ ious to have them stay In for the Presldentlsl preferential primaries just to demonstrate how overwhelm¬ ingly the rank and flle are for Gen¬ eral Perahlng." Woods said that General Perahing'a conduct of the great business enter* prise of war demonstrated that he Is a real business man, and a business man is needed in the White House. fAMII.IEM KHKP fntAtTHT Taking Father John's Medicine for colds snd roughs and as a body builder No aleihol..Advt.

This great disparity in earning power Is due almost wholly to difference In lo¬ cation. as tha cost of operation of tha twp systems per car mile almost tha same. "Under the proposed legislation, with existing oondltioi.s and with Mie existing rates of fare," continues the letter, "the system with the large suburban mllsage (tint W. K. Jr H.) would be relieved of all taxationa on its receipts while the tax to be paid by the system enjoying the more val¬ uable privilege In street* would be more than doubled." In discussing the part of the bill referring to crossing policemen, the commission poir.ted out that the street car riders Indirectly are forced to pay the entire burden of th<; bill to provide pay for these policemen. The commission says that It bel>ves the entire community should fool this bill. "Section 4 is in effect sn amend¬ ment of the general public utilities law which would permit the commis¬ sion to authorize the financing of future extensions by authorizing the issue of stock as well as of bonds, an authority which the commission believes was Intended to be given It by Congress in the first place." The letter also says, "Certainly a propor- tion of the capital required in the fu- ture by the several utilities should be procured from the sale of stock, aince to go on piling up the bonded In¬ debtedness cannot be sanctioned un¬ der the principles of sound business practice. "The commissioners believe, there¬ fore, that if the bill be enacted the Public Utilities Commission will be ¦reatly advantaged in its efforts to regalate the street railway transpor¬ tation service of the District of Co lumbia in fairness alike to the com¬ panies and to the public and without imposing upon the latter any undue burden."

President Wilson's MessageJackson Day Dinner

1*7 D»»r Mr. ChUrmin:It li wllh kMOMl r«|r«t (tat

I find that I mb to be deprived of. the pleasure Mid privilege of Join¬

ing you and tbe uthel loyal Demo¬crat* vbo are to assemble tonightto. celebrate Jackson l>ay and re-new their rovi of fidelity Ho thegreat principle* of our party, theprinciples which must now fulfillthe hopes not only of our ownpeople but of the world.The United States enjoyed tl>e

spiritual leadership ef the worlduntil the Senate of the UnitedStates failed to ratify the treatyby which the belligerent nationssought to efTect the settlements forwhich they had fought throughoutthe war. It la Inconceivable thatat thl» supreme crisis and finalturning point In the Internationalrelations of the whole world,when tbe results of the great war

are by no means determined andare still questionable and depend¬ent upon events which no mancan foresee or count upon, theUnited States should withdrawfrom the concert of progressiveand enlightened nations by whichGermany was defeated and allaltnllar governments (If the worldbe so unhappy as to contain any)warned of the certain consequ¬ences of any attempt of a likeIniquity, and yet that is the effectof the course the Senate of theUnited Statea has taken with re¬

gard to the treaty of Versailles.Uermasiy Is Beatea.

Germany Is beaten, but we arestill at war with her, and the oldstsgs is reset for a repetition ofthe old plot. It Is now ready forthe resumption of the old offen¬sive and defensive alliances whichmade settled peace impossible. ItIs now open again to every aortof in-trlgue. The old spies are

free to resume their formerabominable activities. They are

again at. liberty to make it im¬possible for government* to besure what miachief is being work¬ed among their own people, whatinternal disorders are being fo¬mented. Without the covenant ofthe League of Nations there maybe as many secret treaties »»

ever to destroy the confidence ofgovernments in each other andtheir validity cannot be question¬ed.None of the objects we pro¬

fessed to be flght Ing for lia* beensecured or can be made certainof without this nation's ratifica¬tion of the treaty and Its entryInto the covenant. This nationentered the great war to vindicateIts own rights and to protect anilpreserve free government. Itwent Into the war to see itthrough to the end, and the endhas not yet come. It went Intotl)o war to make an end ofmilitarism, to furnish guaranteesto weak nations, and to make a

Just and lasting peace. It en¬

tered it with noble enthusiasms.Five of the leading belligerentshave accepted the treaty andformal ratifications will soon beexchanged. The question iswhether this country will enterand enter whole-heartedly? Ifit does not do so, the UnitedStatea-and Germaqy will play a

lone hand In the world. Themaintenance of the peace of theworld and the effective executionof the treaty depend upon thewhole-hearted participation ofthe United States. I am not stat¬ing It as a matter of power. Thepoint Is that the United States isthe only nation which has suffi¬cient moral force with the rest ofthe world to guarantee the sub¬stitution of discussion for war.

- If we keep out of this agreement,if we do not give our guarantees,then another attempt will bemade to crush the irew nationsof Europe.

Not Deelatow ef Natlea.I do not believe that this is

what the people of this countywish or will be satisfied with,personally, I do not, accept theaction of -lfee Senate of. the ,

United 8tates as the decision of. the nation.- I have asserted from

the first that the -overwhelming

majority of tha people of thlacountry deaire tha r»U#o»U*» o*the treaty, and my liupreaala* tothat effect bu re«o«Uy «>¦-

firmed by the unmUl»k»lil«deuce of public opinion givenduring my vlalt to aaventaan ofthe iltatee.

I have endeavored to make it

plain that If the Senate wialiea to¦ay what the undoubted meaningof the league la. I ehall have no

objection. There can be no re»-

aonable objection to Interpreta¬tions accompanying tha act ofratification Itself. But when thatreaty la acted upon. 1 muat knowwhether It meana that wa haveratified or rejected It. We can¬

not rewrite thla treaty. We muattake it without changea whichalter Ita meaning, or leava It. andthan, after the real of the worldhaa signed It. we muat face theunthinkable taak of making an¬

other and aeparate kind of treatywith Germany. But no more aa-

aertlona with regard to the wiahand opinion of the country ara

credited.Wtali Saasblt lane.

If there la any doubt aa to whatthe people of the country think on

thla vital matter, the clear andalngle way out la to aubmit It fordetermlntion at the next elec¬tion to the voters of the nation,to give the next election the formof a great and solemn referen¬dum, a referendum as to thepart the United States Is to playIn completing the settlements ofthe war and in the prevention Inthe future of such outrages as

Germany attempted to perpetrate.We have no more moral right torefuse now to take part In the ex¬

ecution and administration ofthose setlements than we had torefuse to take part in the fightingof the last few weeks of the war

which brought victory and madeIt possible to dictate to Germanywhat the settlements should be.Our fidelity to our ussoclatea Inthe war Is in question, and thewhole future of mankind. It willbe heartening to the whole worldto know the attitude and pur¬pose of the people of the UnitedStates.

. ^1 J spoke Just now of the spir¬itual leadership of th2 UnitedStates, thinking of internationalaffair* But there Is anothsrspiritual leadership which Is opento us and which we can asauma.The world has been made safefor democracy, but democracy hasnot been finally vindicated. Allsorts of crimes are being com¬mitted In ita name; aU aorta ofpreposterous perversions of Itsdoctrines and practices are beingattempted. This, In my Judgment.Is to be the great prlvlllga oftha democracy of the UnitedStates to show that It can leadthe way In the solution of thegreat social and industrial prob¬lems of our time, and lead theway to happy settled order ofUfa as well aa to political liberty.The program for thla achievementwe must attempt to formulate*and In carrying It out we shalldo more than can be done In anyother way to sweep out of exist¬ence the tyrannous and arbitraryforms of power which are now

masquerading under the name ofpopular government.

vldcd on the question of ths treatyand making It the paramount Issue Inth* political campaign thla year, therecan be no two opinions as to who Istoday the undisputed leader of theDemocratic party. It la PresidentWoodrow Wilson.The famous Jackson Day rally, with

Its twin dinners, has coma and gone,and politicians remaining in the Capi¬tal today are blinking their eyes overthe complete domination of theparly's leader* by the Wllaon Influ¬ence. His name acted like magicamong them. Those who had claimedthe President was losing his hold onthe party have had to revise theiropinions, and those who believed an¬other leader was about to step In andassume the practical command of theDemocratic cohorts have anotherthought. Wilion still has front placeIn the saddle of his party, and thereins are In his hands. Nor did he.In his message to th* meeting* lastnight, show any Inclination to turnthem over to any other.

¦ryaa "Stampede" Mlaaiag.William Jennings Bryan, many

thought, would sound the party "key¬note" and stampede the rally to hisside. But though Bryan's tongueheld the sliver ring as of old. hiseloquence did 'not bring about astampede.The reception given Bryan by the

members of his party, gathered onJackson Day her* and In holidaymood, was not up to Impartial ex¬pectation. It was not exactly cold,but neither was it fllled with per-fervld enthusiasm. Former Speakerof the House Champ Clark got a big¬ger hand when he appeared at theNew Wlllard, after his speech at theWashington Hotel; and the applausehe evoked during hla speech wasmore spontaneousAt one time nryan was actually

heckled, presumably by his own po¬litical kin, since none but Democrat*were Invited to the feast. , At fhemoment when the Commoner turnedthe corner of Ms speech and aald hemust say something more, even atthe risk of being unpopular, severalvoices raised an upcry at the southend of the hall.

SkMt Far Piwileat."Sick by the President:" some one

ahouted loudly, and others took upthe cry.

"Stick by the President!"Bryan for a moment was silenced.

He turned and faced the part of thehall whence had come the Interrup¬tion. Those sitting near him saw hlajaws clench and his eyas blase for amoment with more than their usualfir*.

"If the gentlemen whft raised theirvoices can guarantee," he said withsome feeling, "that the country willvote the same as those at this meet¬ing might vote, 1 will hush. Other¬wise I will proceed."

It was only an incident, a very mi¬nor Incident, but It showed thetemper of the crowd. It was a Wllaoncrowd, and it was a Wilson night, Justas It had been a Wllaon day.The consequences of the clash be¬

tween President Wilson and WilliamJennings Bryan cannot be estimatednow. This will require time. It may,and is expected to, Influence theDemocratic National Convention,which will meet In San FranciscoJune 28. But it will not rreatlychange tha course of the campaignproper.the fight between Democratsand Republicans from their respectiveconventions to the November elec¬tions.

PERSHING 1920 BOOMBROUGHT TO CAPITAL

Mark W. Woods Declares CountryWants Business Man Like

A. EL F. Chief.

A rest life-sised Presidential boomcame to town today before the shout¬ing: and the tumult of the Jacksonbay dinner died sway. It was aJohn J. Pershing boom and It waibrought by Mark W. Woods chair¬man of the Nebraska I'ershln^ torPresident Club. Mr. Woods wis ac¬companied by George J. Woodt andFrank II. Woods, also of Lincoln.

Asserting that tjenersj Pershtngwill be put forward as America'sleader snd a r«sl business man, Mr.Woods said the West is already wildabout Pershing and' the sentimentwill be just as strong In the Kastwithin a short while.Americap 1-egion posts In every

place General Pershing hss visitedon his present triumphant tour arefor tha commander of the A. K. F.,and tha women of the country aralining up for his candidacy, despitethe fact that General Pershing hassteadfastly discouraged support, Mr.Woods said."Nebraska's delegation to the Re¬

publican National convention will beInstructed for General Pershing."Mr. Woods said. "Our only fear nowis that the other candidates willwithdraw in Nebraska. We ara anx¬ious to have them stay In for thePresldentlsl preferential primariesjust to demonstrate how overwhelm¬ingly the rank and flle are for Gen¬eral Perahlng."Woods said that General Perahing'a

conduct of the great business enter*prise of war demonstrated that he Isa real business man, and a businessman is needed in the White House.
