*Bryan Demands New Leadership for Democrats Advises Choice of Progressive Committeemen as Reactionaries’ Terms End. By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, (Copyright, 1821, by the United I’ress.) MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 20.—1 am not now urging immediate of the Democratic party. Reorganization Is impossible now except as to officers of the national committee, and the new officers would, of course, be in harmony with tbe views of the committeemen. I am advising the selection of progressive committeemen as the terms of reactionary members expire. 1 mean those who are in sympathy with progressive sentiment. Prohibition must be accepted as the permanent policy of the country. No olie can be counted as progressive who is reactionary on the liquor question. Progressives must also oppose Wall street schemes for the xexp.oltation of the masses. Policy as well as principle compels our party to oppose Wall street. The Democratic party cannot hope to compete with the Republican party for the support of the predatory Interests. If we win recruits it must be from the progressive element of the Republican party. If the Democratic party is not willing to champion the interests of the plain people it has no reason for existence. So long as the leadership of the party in the Senate, House and national committee Is in the hands of those who are reactionary on any of the great issues we cannot hope to have the confidence of the voters. * I do not emphasize international questions because I expect them to be disposed of in a short time. Permanent party alignments will depend on the way domestic questions are treated by the party leaders. As the leaders speak for the party. It is important that they reflect the real sentiment of tbe party.
