AMBASSADOR PROTESTS.
Says Virginia Should Not Discrim-
mate Against Italians.

mate Against Italians.
Special Dispatch to Tho Star.
RICHMOND. Va, July 24,-The Italian
ambassador has. through Secretary Root,
forwarded to Gov. Swanson a protest
against the action of the city council and
the state Of Virginia in refusing to allow
his fellow-countrymen to engage in the
liquor business in this city and state.
The ambassador writes that he is in
formed that the council has refused to
grant licenses to the Italians. assigning
as a reason that they are not voters in
Virginia.
He calls attention to the treaty of 1871.
in which, he says that 1t is stipulated
that the subjects Of the king are to re-
ceive the same business rights as citi-
Gems Of the Old Dominion. The ambassa-
dor writes that the complaint received by
him Is that his countrymen are not al
lowed to serve as bartenders or as walters
in places in which liquors are dispensed
The regulation Of which the ambassador
complains Is state law. which expressly
stipulates that only qualified voters are to
be granted licenses to sell liquor.
The letter raises a nice point. however,
in that Italians are not allowed to serve
as walters liquors to patrons of places
where liquors are dispensed The oues-
ton raised Is whether the negro walters
employed in the hotels and restaurants
are qualified voters A strict interpreta-
they shall be. The bartenders are required
to be voters. It Is possible that the point
will be raised In this city at no distant
day.
the letter Of Secretary Root. which was
accompanied by copies of the city ordi-
nances and the state law on the Ques-
ton at issue.

BRYAN in this campaiGn."


Representative Frank Clark of Florida
addressed the meeting for a-few minutes.
His quiet humor brought many a laugh
from his hearers. especially when he said:
II never say a trust in the flesh until i
saw James Schoolcraft Sherman"
Mr.. Clark spoke of the conditions In
Florida twelve years ago, when he was
arraiened as an anarchist by his fellows
for presuming to support Bryan. He de-
clared:
few years ago was called an anarchist for
undertaking to criticise the courts of the
countrys to hear such speeches as l have
heard tonight. You cannot kill the demo-
cratic party. II that were possible l be-
lieve 1t would have died long ago. But
the party is stronger today than 1t ever
was before"
Speech Of W. ]. Dryer.
A speech was also made by w. j.
Dwyer. president of the Bryan Democrat
Club. He said. in part:
Taken all in all, this third nomination
Of William Jennings Bryan by the demo-
cratic party is one Of the most phe-
nomenal occurrences in the history OF
American politics, and I do not believe
that the future will show parallel case

pie rather than the work of bosses.

well as the opposition press of the coun-

to the will OF the people. On the other

Although the Bryan Democratic Club met
last night in the Raleigh to-enlist new
members in its cause and to transact any
new business that might come before the
organization, the speeches Of two men
prominent In labor circles in this city
turned the tide of enthusiasm for awhile
toward Samuel Gompers and the labor
organizations. John H. Brinkman. inter-
national secretary and treasurer Of the
carriage and wagon workers. and James
L. Rodier. who arose to tide over an awk-
ward pause in the proceedings. aroused
tremendous applause by their remarks.
Brinkman, especially. took occasion to
speak on the position into which, he de-
ciared, labor and Samuel Gompers has
been forced by the republican party.
Mr.. Rodier declared that those who ac-
cuse Gompers Of leading labor into poll
tics are worthy of short and ugly epithets-
He briefly recounted the history OF anairs

relief both in the Senate and at Chicago.
and were finally forced to ask the demo-

Applause for Brinkman.
Mr.. Brinkman's speech was interrupted
frequently by applause. He took occasion
to mention the fact that certain labor
men in Washington have criticised Com
pers for attempting to advise his follow

specific reference to Mr.. Kidd of Column
