PEACE TREATY MAY BE PARTY PLATFORM
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 9, 1920.
Democrats Face Choice of Following Bryan or Wilson as Leader
Bryan Startles His Hearers
Washington, Jan. 9.—The Democratic party today was faced with the alternative of following President Wilson's leadership and making the peace treaty an issue in the November elections or in the Democratic leadership and securing quick ratification on best compromise terms possible.
Declares The Peace Treaty i Better Than Anybody Had a Right to Expect
In the opinion of party leaders it did not seem likely today that Bryan's appeal to the Jackson Day banquettes here yast night and early today—he finished his second speech at 2 a.m. would have the effect of splitting the party or weakening Wilson's control. According to widespread belief here the treaty will go into the 1920 campaign as the paramount issue in spite of Bryan's argument against such a course.
He arrived at the Willard banquet hall after midnight. Abandoning his prepared speech, he took the floor and startled the crowd into great excitement by his out and back out. Both had been praised, applauded and commended all evening. After a few preliminary formalities, Bryan suddenly showed: "If I just wanted to please you I would stop here and let this end as a love feast, but I have passed the age of soliciting year
He declared the treaty Wilson brought back from Paris was "better than anybody had a right to expect," lauded the president highly, told of his own efforts for unqualified ratification, and then said, "and having failed, we should take the best we can get."
This blunt declaration startled the crowd. In one end of the hall the confusion of shooting men arose yelling "Stand by the President," "Bryan, Bryan," and so on. Grimly, stretched out his jaw and waited for order to be restored.
NUMBER 69.
At 2:30 a.m. Bryan finished while some yelled "Gill you tell us more." Afterwards, some of the crowd gathered around him shaking his hand, while scores walked out loud in their denunciation of the Nebraskan.

The Doctor first made a few general statements about the student life on the continent. "Only about 10 per cent of the students participate in athletics and a star is in sports," he said. There is less drinking and the moral conditions are better than ever before. In Germany only, duelling still prevails. The school spirit prevalent in American schools is not felt in Europe because it is the general custom for students to each year, taking work from the best professors available. The European students are older than American and the courses are, as a rule, longer. The Swiss universities are the most representative of international schools we have, twenty-five and eighty-five per cent of their enrollment is foreign."

Professors Visit Joint Session of Houses Thursday Afternoon.
