Bryan Reported As Opposing Such a
Plank In Democratic Platform.
Milwa lkee. June II - Predicting
great gains in the south. with possible
victory in all southern Prohibition
states. State Chairman Alfonso Wilson
told the Wisconsin state Prohibition
convention here that TIE foundation Of
his expectation was the alleged oppO-
sition OF William J. Bryan to prohibi-
ton.
"In 1890" said Mr.. Wilson. "Mr
Bryan stumped Nehsaska against a
prohibition amendment to the Nebras-
ka constitution. have also in my pos
session a copy of a letter from Mr..
Bryan to southern men who desire q
plank for prohibition in the Demo
cratic national platform. In this letter
Mr.. Bryan declares that II his wishes
are followed there will be no such
plank in the platform. AS Mr.. Bryan IS
IN control OF the Democratic party his
platform desires viii undoubtedly con
troll the Democratic national conven.
ton. and therefore no prohibition plank
can be expected from that vonven
ton"

BRYAN VISITS HOUSE.
His Presence Calls Forth Euloeys from
Arkansas solon - cIaSheu Mithn .
Bailey Hits Court peelsIqn


"A Washfngt0n special says: The
presence Of Wllliam Jonnlngs Bryan
m tho lobnySol TIE house furnished in
splratlon to Mr WalIaee o. Arkansas
for y vigorous speech IN which, while
admitting that Mr.. Bryan had made
mistakes and had been charged with
talking too much, he said that the Ne
braskan was worthy the honor and SUI
frage Of all the states.
In a window recess of the wide hall
in front of the senate chamber, Mr..
Bryan held an impromptu reception for
senators and representatives for about
an hour
An animated discussion took place
between Senator Bailey and Mr.. Bry-
an. AS Mr.. Bryan said later, the dis
cussion was about the democratic view
of the currency question. Both Mr..
Bryan and Senator Bailey said there
had been very little difference of
opinion. Both stood for the direct gov
eminent issue of money instead Of an
issue through the banks. Mr.. Bryan
would make no statement as to wheth-
er he approved of the complete plan
of Senator Bailey as outlined in the
substitute he will offer for the Aldrich
bill, but he said that its basis was
good democratic doctrine brought
down from the time of Jefferson.
Mr.. Bryan's attention being called
to the supreme court decision holding
that corporation has the right to
discharge a man because he is mem
Der of a labor union, he dictated a
statement which, in part, is as fol-
lows:
'The subject is one of vital import
ance, and do not understand by what
course of reasoning the majority OF the
| court reached the decision announced.
| A corporation is a creature of law. 1t
has no rights except those given it by
| law, and it must not be confused with
the natural men. Man was created to
cary out divine purpose. The corpo-
ration was created to make money. The
corporation enjoys many rights and
privileges which are denied to the in
dividual, and it cannot claim the pos
session of any natural or inalienable
rights. The power that creates a cor
poration can restrict 1t, restrain it and
control it, and congress has plenary
powers in dealing with corporations
in SO far as they engage in interstate
commerce.
"The union is lawful association
and If a man can be discharged be,
