ISSUE.
W.. Bryan has another paramount
issue-National Prohibition of the

The announcement that Mr.. Bryan
will fight the manufacture and sale Of
beer, wine and other fermented liquors,
means that he will be . candidate for
president in 1912.
The stand tsken by Mr.. Bryan is a
candid acknowledgement that his party

campaign for 1912 will he started next
year, and the storm center will be
Nebraska. If the Bryan forces win
and succeed in electing state ticket

Bryan's prohibitive ideas, the demo-
cratic party will then be in position
to demand . plank in the next plat.

Up to the present time the repub-

their endeavor to induce any man of
recognized ability to enter the field
against Burkett. Perhaps they are
satisfied with Bryan or any candidate
he decides to name.
