The Nebraskan Wants All Dem- —_ ocrats to Attend Primary Elections. Lincoln, Neb., March 20.—William J. Bryan bas begun the work of ‘‘re- organizing” the Democratic party. In his paper, The Commoner, this week he will outline the following plan of organization: , Let each Democrat” pledge himself to attend all of the primaries of his party.to be held between now and the next Democratic national con- vention, unless unavoidably pre- vented, and to uee his influence to } secure a clear, honest and straight- \ forward declaration of the party’s reason to tear that we will be facing thie situation sooner than any of us are willing to realize.” TheJapanese feel-that they can handle the Philip- pines better than any other nation. They need the commerce and the business opportunities of the islands and feel certain now of their ability to defeat any western nation. “They are getting ready to enforce @ policy of ‘Asta for Asiatics’ and that means the expuleton of the United States from the Philippines just as soon as they are free in Man- churia. “The situation is regarded at Washington as menacing—notimme- diately so, perhaps, but certain to develop dangerous phases as soon as the present war {s over. “The United States will have tosell the islands or fight to keep them. If we have to fight, it will be ata tremendous disadvantage owing to our distance. We will be in thesame situation that Rusela is now and the only thing that can save us from de- feat, will be to possess a navy that Japan will not dare to fight. “For this reason I feel that wecan- not afford to stop naval develop- ment, but, rather, should adopt a Japan, the people feeling that ‘he outcome fs not of material differance while all the energy of the nation would be centered upon a war with England. Father Toth says that Kuropatkin fs an old woman, lacks aggressive- ness and while great as an organizer, is not a great fighter. He declaires that the next great battle will be a naval battle and on its outcome hangs the fate of the war. If Russia is defeated he expects the war to end apeedly.
