Leaders Hold Contrary Opinions ; on Probability of Wilson Open- ' mg uuns at jacKSon oanquei. f ' jjy David Lawrence -v ' (Coprrirfit, mo.) . Washington, Jan. 8. Should Pres '. i Went Wilson discuss the treaty fight ; In bis letter to the Jackson day din - ' ner of the Democratic party, which It bcingr held here coincident with r' the meeting" of the Democratic com mittee? Two views prevail those who believe : that the silence which the president has maintained since the pact failed of a ' two thirds vote In the Jast session of congress should not he broken at a purely partisan fathering, but to the v senate; those who sat In at the Repub- Ilcan banquets and political meeting reoently. Including the Ohio society dtn ner at New York, and have given the ' Impression that the president Is stand ins; out against the so-called American izing of the treaty and league by reser , rations and should use the occasion o - explain his position. DEMOCRATS ABE ACTIYE . Just what the president will say Is a secret for the people that he will reserve ' till the last minute. For a supposedly declining party, the Democrats are put - - ting' up an even livelier front than the ..Republicans when they Were here for their national committee meeting re cently. Possibly It is because the Dem , crate have a sort of free for all contest on," and perhaps because there are to h. nr,un aurh vittaran f lcurefl as Wil liam Jennings Bryan and Senator Oscar Underwood and senator ujiDcn m.

Prnatdftnt Wilson la treading on deli -eat ground. There are Republicans In , the senate who would like nothing bet . than a nronouncement from Mr. Wll- la making a party matter of the treaty controversy and that the best thing to do la to settle It in the next campaign. "welcome league fight -.v i Senator Lodge himself has said that ' '-while the Republicans would not take the initiative in making the treaty a "party issue he and his colleagues wel comed the opportunity to carry the mat i ter into the campaign. "Irreconcllables," . as the group is called which is intent en killing the treaty and league alto- (etherare striving hard to get the treaty Into the campaign, being confident that as time roes, on and the people become ' familiar with, the Intricacies of the ques m. tion they will vote for the men who openly favor rejecting the treaty. On the Democratic side one finds the other kind of confidence and analysis of the statu of public .opinion. . There are Democrats who say that while they are admittedly weak on domestic Issues ana I uuu the people are irritatea over various instances of mismanagement and inef ficiency revealed by members of the Democratic administration, the desire to get the treaty ratified and normal bust Bess conditions ( established would give the Democratic strength from large num bers of the American people who, . ir voting on domestic affairs alone, would not think of supporting tne jjemocraiic ticket. ! It Is. therefore, glowJy becoming evi dent that on both the Democratic and Renubllcan aides there Is not each a re luctance to let the treaty become an is sue, unfortunate as tha result may be for Europe and the world at large. But as remarked before ' in these columns. the two old line parties are considerably more interested In their own partisan success this year than in anything, else. The move being made by the Demo crats to compromise the treaty has its elements of camouflage. The Repub licans smilingly, cairthe Democrats' of fer a "surrender" but at the same time hesitate to say they will accept It. There is some suspicion that the Dem ocrats would be surprised and dumb founded if the Republicans did accept It and that they are hoping that the Republicans will pile up a record of refusing to compromise to as to make good material for the campaign out cry that the Republican party is de laying peace. On the other hand, there are mild reservationists and progressives on the Republican side who are sincerely anx ious, to keep' the treaty out of the' cam paign and to get It ratified at once. Were it not for the aggressive tactics of the other Republican group, who want to kill the treaty, reservations, league and all which group is making life miserable for Senator Lodge In his ef fort to preserve a solid front In the ranks of his party the best Republican move would be to accept one of these compromise offers, get the treaty out of the way, and focus attention on Dem ocratic mistakes on domestic questions that touch more closely the pocketbook of the householder . and his vote than anything else. But on the subject of strategy in both parties, much remains to be learned. The Republicans have evidently not been- in structed by the campaign that nearly elected Charles Evan Hughes in 191s and the Democrats have not y.et cleaned house and purged themselves of the Burlesohs and the others in their ranks who helped lose the Democratic cam paign In J51. But the speechmaking and promising and condemning and pledging and praising and pointing with pride stuff la uppermost nowadays while the treaty lies unacted upon and count less measures needed to help America weather the storm of war reconstruction are serenely and leisurely sidetracked, Dance Hall Manager In Wide Open Days At MarShfield Dies Marshfield, Jan. 8. Word haa been received here "of the aeath in San Fran cisco of J. C Wilcox, formerly a resi dent of Xorth Bend and one of the first settlers In that city when lfwas founded. In the wide open days he conducted a big dance hall, saloon and gambling room here which was known all over the Coast. The fortune he made was lost when he fought prosecutions which ended In a sentence of a year in Jail. He was pardoned by Governor Chamber lain just before the latter left the ex ecutive chair to become United States senator. The passing of Wilcox's place in North Bend was one of the last changes in this locality from the wide open days to the. new condition of affairs.
