BY WINDER R HARRIS
Universal Service dorreepondent
Washington, Dec. 14.—With Wil
liam Jennings Brayn prominent in
the background, democratic presiden
tial politics was injected Friday to
further complicate the organization
fight in the house of representatives.
Bryan’s activity behind' the scenes
had The surprising effect of blocking
plans of the republican leaders to
have the committee slntesCsof both
parties ratified and of forcing con
sideration of this last act of the or
ganization process over tG Monday
More important from a political
standpoint, the three-time presiden
tial candidate’s intervention has con
fronted the democratic leaders in the
house with the necessity of following
his advice or laying themselves open
to his charge that they are reaction
aries.
Candidates Uneasy
This phase of the situation has
brought the friends of William Q.
McAdoo and Senator Underwood, the
two most active aspirants for the
party presidential nomination, to the
fore. They foresee grave dangers
ahead for their candidates, should
either be nominated, and for the par
ty If It Is given the stamp of con
servatism or reactionism in the house.
The whole. fight, which took this
new turn Friday, revolves around the
powerful rules committee. The issues
are the ratio of democratic represen
tation and the demand of the pro
gressive republican bloc that a place
on the committee be given to Rep
resentative John M. Nelson of Wls
son, their chairman
Request Refused
The republicans turned down the
democrat’s request for five out of
the 12 places on the committee and
also refused to put on Nelson. The
bloc leader and his associates, who
demonstrated their balance of power
by holding up the election of a
speaker until they won a victory on
liberalization of the rules, charged
the committee had been packed and
started a fight to upset the old guard
slate. They made overtures to the
democrats to, Join in a plan to put
one more democrat and Nelson on the
committee.
Bryan, learning of the situation,
invited a number of his friends in
the house to his hotel apartment.
Among those who conferred with him
was Cordell Hull of Tenessee, chair
man of the national committee. Bryan
urged that the democrats should join
with the progressives to overturn re
publican control of the house at ev
ery point possible.
He gave out an interview In which
he said the democrats who refused
to Join in such a move to overthrow
republican "reactionary” control
should be made known to the dem
ocratic voters over the country. Rep
resentative Garrett of Tennessee, the
party leader in the house, and his
chief liutenants have opposed any
combination with the insurgents.

deputiets representing the Huertistats

In the event that the proposal# to
conciliate are accepted by President
Obregon and the government, imme
diate steps will be taken to extend the
movement to the entire nation in the
hope of restoring immediate peace.
While the news of the proposed
armistice was received with consid
erable skepticism in some quarters,
there is a genuine expression of
hopefulness of early fruition of the
project.
The initiaters of the movement
state they desire to prevent bloodshed
throughout the nation.” It is pointed
out that the proposal was probably
inspired by the though of the impos
ing struggle between the opposing
armies when they meet In the region
of Guadalajara, which meeting, if
not prevented, will likely result in
great ioss of life.

Skeptics say the acceptance of the
proposal by President Obregon might
he construed as weakness on the part
of the government, adding that it
is necessary to quell by force once
and for all, the uprising.
On the other hand it is declared
that a cessation of hostilities and a
settlement of political differences will
have an influence on the congress of
the United States in considering the
conditions for recognition of Mexico.
