expect great gains III the south, with
possible victory In all southern
prohibition states. State Chairman
Alonzo Wilson. Of Illinois, declared as
a foundation of this expectation the
alleged opposition on the part Of
Bryan to prohibition This declaration
| was made before the Wisconsin state
| prohibition convention today.
In 1890, said Wilson. Bryan
istumped Nebraska against the pruhib.
| itiun amendement to the Nebraska
constitution, and | have in my pCses
sion copy of letter from Bryan to
southern men vino desired plank for
prohibition in the Democratic national
platform In which Bryan declares II
his wishes are followed there will be
no such plank In the platform.
AS Bryan Is In control of the Dem.
ocratic party, his platform desires Will
undoubtedly control in the Democratic
national convention and therefore no
prohibition plank can be expected
from that convention,
Wilson said this was the expectation
of the southern delegates who had
been looking into the subject and he
said be was to leave for the south
this evening to confer with some lead
| ing prohibition Democrats there about
ltheirsupport for the prohibition party

tonight 10 the dispatch from Milwau
kee concerning his attitude on prohib,
itiou, Bryan said:
Il have received many letters from
prohibitionists and many from oppo
nents Of prohibition and | have an.
swered all in the same way.
Il have told them | did not regard
the question as national question.
While it Ii an issue in a number of
states. | do not expect it to be made
an issue by either the Republicans or
Democratic national convention. |
have made it rule not to discuss
questions outside Of the platform, be
cause the candidate has no right to in
iect the issues which his platform eN-
cludes. In answer TO the questions
about my own record on the subject.
! have stated that so far as my person
nj habits go. | am teetotaller, never
having used liquor as a beverage but
in 1890 | voted against the state pro
hbition amendment because | thought
the license system we Mad, with local
option, was better suited to the eGndi
tions we had 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 have
called attention to the fact that state
laws ought tobe made to meet the
conditions existing in the state and
that what | did in Nebraska could not
be guide in states whore conditions
were different
"Iu other words, ! have refused to
give advice on the qcustion in othei
states because | am not sufficiently
informed as TO the conditions in var.
ious states and have refused to dis
Cuss it as a national question, because

Modern Woodman Day.

The managers of the Monona Lake
Assembly have designated Wednesday,

prepared program suitable for the oc-
casion. The orator of the Day will be

At six o'clock there will be picnic on
lake front with short speeches, etc. At

all officers of the organization will take
the matter up in earnest and make this
the greatest Woodman's picnic ever
known in Wisconsin.
