DEPOSIT GUARANTEE AT WORK.

BRYAN IN LEAGUE
WITH LIQUOR DEALERS
Gov. Hoch Has Some Interesting
Correspondence on the Subject.

Correspondence on the Su bject.
Just as the temperance people Of
Kansas were beginning to believe that
VIM. J. Bryan, the Democratic candi-
date for President, would make a pretty
good standard bearer, Governor Hoch
comes along with some correspondence
that is calculated to put Bryan out OF
the running as temperance candidate.
Governor Hoch got into an argument
with Democratic politician at Marion
and made some statements he could not
back up with proof on a moments no
tice. However, he sent to Nebraska
for it and got everything he wanted.
The Omaha editor to whom Governor
Hoch wrote not only confirmed every
statement made by the governor but
he sent copies of letters written by Mr..
Bryan himself in regard to the pro-
hibitory amendment when it was up for
adoption by the people of Nebraska
in 1890.
In this letter Mr., Bryan says in other
words that he is opposed to prohibition
but that he wanted the Nebraska DEM
Ocrats to make no declaration on the
subject. This occurred in the campaign
in which Bryan was elected to Con-
gresS The Democratic platform de-
clared against prohibition and Bryan
Stumped the State on the anti-prohibi-
ton platform. All this is shown in the
correspondence in the hands of Gov
ernOr Hoch and it is brought out by the
criticism made by Democrats of Taft
because in a speech in Topeka three or
ha S,ta
that 1T is hard to legislate morals into
people"
The Bryan letter written to a Demo-
cratic friend prior to the Democratic
convention in Omaha in 1890 reads as
follows:
Your favor just received. | expect
to attend the convention at omaha and
am glad you are going. l will try and
leave here at once, so that we can
get together and talk over the platform
before the convention. | have no doubt
we will agree on tariff opinions, but
have been in much trouble over the
temperance plank. |, like you and the
great bulk of the party, am opposed to
prohibition, but thought as the Repub-
Leans took no stand on prohibition we
Idl belleI tOuttllI oulStINtS Win q wv
Iaration against sumptuary legislation,

we have a number of men who will
vote for the prohibitory amendment.
They do not ask us to declare in favor
Of prohibition, but simply to do as the
Republicans have done-leaye it to each
Individual to vote as he likes. BY de-
clarng against prohibition we will lose
a good many votes, while we will not
gain Republican votes. We tried that
last fall in this county; declared in so
many words against prohibition, and
the saloons went solid against us.
Il wish | could see you before the
convention. Can't you come up here
Tuesday morning and 90 from here to
Omaha, and we can discuss all planks?
VIII draw up the plank you suggest.
Yours truly,

Auto Makes Slow Tinle throwing tc
Tire Troubles, but Drivers Leave
Los Angeles After Short
Stop

| Battered and bent, but with the en-
gine still faithfully chugging away, the
| italian contestants in the New York
to Paris race brought their automobile
into Los Angeles about o'clock last
night.
The car left San Bernardno shortly
after noon yesterday. 1t ran slowly
all the way in. being delayed for a
short time at Monroyia by tire trouble.
The run from Goldfield was made
without special incident and no acci-
dents marred it. The temperature
crossing the desert was high and the
drivers suffered somewhat from the
extreme change from that of week
ago. when their car floundered through
the snow.
shorty Vidy piloted the car from
GoldfieId here and will accompany it
to San Francisco. where the boat Will
be taken to Alaska.
The first stop made in the city was
at the Italia club on North Main
street Several hundred Italians were
there waiting for their countrymen' S
arrival. and when the first car came IN
sight bearing part of the reception
committee the crowd rushed into the
street and began cheering wildly.
1t was some minutes before the rest
of the party arrived with the racers.
When the car finally arrived it was
overwhelmed with the enthusiastic
compatriots of the drivers and the
progress was effectually blocked.
In an instant after the stop was
made the car was filed with men and
bows. each trying to grasp the hands
of the occupants. When the party
was taken upstairs to the clubrooms a
large crowd followed and gazed in adj
miration at the hardy heroes of the
long journey.
The reception committee drank their
health with the drivers in champagne
and a short of speech of welcome was
made by the chairman.
After the few minutes spent in the
clubrooms the car was started down
Main street. preceded by half a dozen
cars decked out with Italian and
United States flags and containing the
reception committee. From Main the
cars turned on Spring and then at
First street went over to broadway.
past the newspaper Offices and to the
White garage.
While the drivers and pilot were at
dinner the car underwent several
slight repairs.
At the garage the gates had to be
closed to keep out the hundreds of
curious sightseers that wanted a
glimpse of the car and the mon who
had brought it through from New
York.
Captain II. p. Ryus went out Mon
day night in a White steamer to meet
the cai. and found it in the Cajon
pass near the summit. From there in
Captain Ryus piloted the car, coming
in advance only after the reception
committee met them about thirty
miles out.
The car will he piloted from the
White garage to Santa Barbara by
Billy Ruess and George Adair, as they
are probably better acquainted with
that part of the road than any other
men in Southern California.
From Santa Barbara the crew will
push on toward San Francisco, driv-
ing day and night.
The italians in charge of the car are
Messrs. Sirtori Scarfoglio and Haga.
