What Mr.. Bryan Meant
The Democratic platform adopted
II Baltimore contained this plank:

We favor single Presidential terra
and to that end urge the adoption o'
an an amendment t to the C9nsti IIn,, OF,
States ineligible for recollection. anu
We pledge the candidate OF this coav
yention to this principle
Mr.. Wilson was never asked to
pledge himself 10 four years In the
presidency in case he was elected.
No representative Democrat ever SO
interpreted the platform. Nor has
Mr.. Bryan ever so construed 1t In
any public utterance with which we
are familiar.
When the resolution for an amend
ment to the constitution was pend
ing before congress-. Mr.. Bryan-un-
less The World is misinformed-rec-
commended that the single-term in
hibition should not take effect until
1921.
Mr.. Bryan said at Harrisburg the
other day that "a man who violates
party platform and betrays his
party and the people Is criminal
worse than the man who embezzles
money" II requires a very fertile
imagination to believe that Mr.. Bryan
in making this speech was holding
President Wilson TO single term OF
four years A little coterie OF Demo

they could convince themselves that
this Is what Mr.. Bryan meant and
that he was talking to President Will

A simultaneous reduction In the

is an imperative demand for the rum

and the demand creates the supply
AS long as the demand continues, the
supply will be obtained in some way
The white SLAYER Is one OF the ageh-

The question naturally arises as 10

Bradley county, to remain until
Monday with his family. Banks

Since he came to Little Rock as
a member of the legislature, and
to remain as private secretary

stores have been started in
Banks. Reports of the progress
daily reached Secretary Smith,

Fish Law Not Popular.
Special to Independent.


Little Rock, April 49, The
legislative act of the last legis-

Boone county, is very unpopular,
especially with certain classes,
and they are looking for some
way in which to defeat it's pur-
poses. One resident of the coun-
ty appealed to Secretary of
State Earle w. Hodges, to see
if the people of the county could
not petition for a reference of
the bill.
Secretary Hodges put the mat
ter up to Attorney General
Moose, who promptly produced
a supreme court decision which
states that no local matters can
be referred to the vote of the
county, the Constitutional a.
mendment, permitting only
state wide issues to be submit
