BRYAN ON
PROHIBITION
Says This Subject is 3
Matter Of Local
Issue

LINCOLN, Neb. June 11.-Refer-
ring tonight to a dispatch from Mil
waukee concerning his attitude on the
question of prohibition, Mr. Bryan
said:
Il have received many letters from
prohibitionists and many from oppon-
ents of prohibition and | have an
swered them all in the same way. l
have told them that l do not regard
it as national question. While it is
an issue in number Of states | do
not expect it to be made an issue by
either the Republican or the Demo-
cratic national conventions. | have
made it a rule not to discuss ques-
tions outside the platform because a
candidate has no right to inject is
sues which his platform excludes
In answers to questions about my
own record on the subject, have stat
ed that SO far as my personal habits
go l am teeetotaler, never having
used liquor as beverage, but in 1890
| voted against the State prohibition
amendment because l thought the Ii
cense system we have, with local op-
ton, was better suited to the cOnli-
tions We have to meet in our State.
When an attempt has been made
to draw conclusions from this as to
what ought to be done in other States
l have called attention to the fact
that State laws ought to be made
to meet the conditions existing ir
the State and that what l did in Ne
brasa could not be guide in States
where conditions were different.
In other words, have refused tt
give advice to the question in Othe'
States, because l am not sufficient!
