sfR. BRYAN AS A PROHIBITIONTST


A great many people will be inter-
ested in the Hon. William J. Bryan's
views of the liquor traffic and its regu-
lation, for Mr. Bryan is still the most
potent personal force In the party which
is supposed to stand for the least pos
sible restriction of the liberties of the
individual. Mr.. Bryan has been three
times a Democratic Presidential candi-
date. and it is not improbable that he
will receive further nominations. What
he thinks, therefore, OF the need and
possibilities of liquor traffic regulation
is OF more than personal Importance.
Mr.. Bryan has never shown much
consistency as a political theorist. He
says that he is an orthodox Jeffersonian
and that he believes in limiting the
powers of government TO the minimum.
leaving free field TO individual judg-
ment and activity. Yet no statesman in
our day has proposed more plans than
he has for magnifying the powers of
government and committing the federal
administration TO larger regulation of
the affairs of individuals and associa-
tions of individuals. In his advocacy
Of government ownership and operation
of all the instrumentalities of interstate
commerce he out Hamiltons Hamilton,
although protesting unchanged al
legiance TO the antipOdal philosophy Of
Jefferson
Most Jeffersonians will doubtless find
n similar inconsistency between Mr..
Bryan's regard as Jeffersonian for home
rule and local sovereignty and his be-
lief that the state can impose prohibit
ton on its subdivisions and that the
nation can impose prohibition on the
states. To judge from his speech IN
Chicago on Wednesday TO the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union Mr.. Bryan is.
so far as the prohibition of the sale of
liquor IS concerned. not only state
wider" but a nation wider" He told
the members Of the union:
l hold that every unit ought TO have
authority to act on this subject. except
as il is restrained by larger unit That
IS. that the block the ward, the city, the
precinct, the county. the state and the
nation should have the undisputed right
to exclude the sale of liquor within its
limits. or to fix such restrictions upon
the sale OF liquor as the people of the
unit may deem necessary for their pro-
lection and welfare. / believe, also. that
the larger unit has a right to control
the smaller one on this, as on other sub
jects.

Trip from St. Louis to Kansas City Is
to be Run Along the Route
Of the Wabash
Railway.
DATE TO BE JULY is
Committee Has Picked Out the Date
and Route for the $4,000
Prize for Sky
Trip.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June IA
The proposed aerop1ane flight from st.
Louis to Kansas City will be along the
route taken by the Wabash Railroad,
and the aviators who contest for the
$4,000 prize will leave st. Louis on
the morning of July Is. This much
was tentatively decided upon by the
joint committee representing the Aero
clubs of St. Louis and Kansas City in
meeting he'd in Gov. Hadleys office.
The Commercial bodies of Washing
ton, Hermann, Jefferson City, Boon
vile and towns south of the Missouri
River were somewhat disappointed by
the selection of the North Missouri
route. Gov. Hadley suggested a route
north of the Missouri River to Fulton
thence to Jefferson City, then west
along the Missouri Pacific by Upton,
Sedalia, Warrensburg and Indepel-
dence.
However, the members of the st.
Louis committee-John H. Curran,
Alex. Brisco and Roy F. Britton-were
practically agreed upon the feasibility
Of the Wabash route and when they
arrived soon won the Kansas City
! Committee to their thinking.
Gov. Hadley and Edward Austin pre-
sented the claims of the south river
route, Lieut.. Gov. Gemlich, Judge
! William H. Martin and w. F. Schmidt
# boosted Boonwille rs stopping point
and guaranteed a liberal sum if theil
town could be put on the aviation map
7 but without avail.
There must be at least five stops
aad not more than ten between st
Louis and Kansas City, according tc
the committees ruling. The towns
most likely to get the places of contro
are Warrenton, Montgomery City
Mexico, Huntsville and Carrol1ton
The number Of stops up to ten will be
governed by the amount of none,
which tho aspiring towns are willing
to give to have the aviators alight.

NOW CLAIMING
STATE CONTROL
Frosrssslves Defeated In Primary
Election Now State That
They Have Delegation
Majority.
SHOWING THE PAPERS
Manager Of Insursent Campaign Says
That He Is Not Bluffins
But Has the
Proofs.

DES MONIES, June 14.-"Progres-
sive republicans will control the state
convention of August 8 by not far
from 200 majority" said Robert j.
Fleming, chairman of the Dolliver-
Cummins-Garst progressive republican
committee.
Mr.. Fleming exhibited large roll
of letters and kilograms from every
part of the state. These are the
documents on which the claim Is
based,' he continued.
I'VE have heard from every county
in Iowa, from good, reliable sources
and we know what we are talking
about when we make the claim. It
is not bluff and fake, but it is the
genuine goods.
1--WE have waited until we know ex-
actly the situation before we put for
ward any claims as to the ability of the
progressives to control the state con-
vention. We waited to hear first hand
and directly from the men who know.
Many of them have been here to give
the facts as to conditions in their
counties and others have written spe-
cifical1y and wired facts concerning
the situation in their counties and
the canvass made of the delegates
elected to the county conventions last
4 Tuesday. There is no guess work
about it.
I'VE will have not far from 200
majority in the convention.
Before the polls closed, and GER
tainly before the votes for the 10000
or $4,000 delegates elected to county
conventions had been counted, the
standpat claim that the standpatter~
would control the convention by $50
was put out for public consumption
evidently by prearrangement, every
where in the state. We waited to in
vestigate after the delegates to the
county conventions had been elected
and were known. The result is appar-
ent from these letters and kilograms.
We will have 200 majority in the state
convention

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Contingencies
said to have arisen in the state and

Frank j. Miner, manager of the con-
cern, was convicted on the charge of
operating a bucket shop and was SEN
fenced to five years in the penitenti-

When the Western Union Telegraph
company was indicted last week for
aiding bucket shops, a general order
was issued to take o.t all wires and
operators from the bucket shops. This
is thought to have been the cause OF
the closing.

st. Louis Physician Who was Shot
Twice at His Home by
One of His Pa
tients.
Refused to Take AnaesthetIc when the
TWO Bullets were Taken
Out Of His
Body.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Relatves and
others yesterday declared they be-
lieved Alois w. Rayne of 1896 Garfield
avenue, delivery wagon driver for
department store, and former we'll
known amateur athlete, who twice
shot DR.. John M. Grant, one of the
leading st. Louis surgeons, seriously
wounding him, mentally deranged. DR..
Grant shares the insanity theory.
All that Rayne would say regarding
his motive was that DR.. Grant had
shown inattention to him and insult
ed him while he had been a patient
of the physician for the last few
months. Rayne had been under treat
ment by DR.. Grant for what is sup
posed to have been a nervous disorder,
since February. The shooting occurred
at 11:35 yesterday morning in front
of the office of Dr.. Grant, 536 North
Taylor avenue.
DR.. Grants fourteen-year-old son
Samuel, who was with the physician
in his automobile when Rayne opened
fire, declares Rayne aimed his revolv.
er at him, but he says he did not
notice whether the assailant pulled
the trigger.
At the Jewish hospital, following the
shooting, DR.. Grant submitted to an
operation, declining to take an anaes
thetic, and physicians extracted the
two bullets. The physicians said the,
! did not think either of the two wounds
necessarily fatal. DR.. Grant is a large
strong man and they believe this vii
enable him to pull through. He die
not lost consciousness at any time
after the shooting or during the oper
alton, bearing the pain with fortitude
