". j. Bryan Urges Voters OF Iowa to
Elect Connolly.

In signed article in the October
Commoner, Secretary of State William
Jennings Bryan, pays eloquent tribute
to Congressman Maurice Connolly and
appeals to the voters of Iowa to send
him to the United States Senate. Mr..
Bryan SAYS
1.-THE voters of Iowa on November
3rd will exercise the right of direct
vote on the Office of United States
Senator for the first time. The Com
moner, with full knowledge of the
Iowa situation, urges all citizens OF
whatever political view to work and
vote for Maurice Connolly.
1.-The keynote of Congressman Con.
nolly's nature is sincerity. He is fired
with genuine zeal for the welfare of
men, and his heart and soul are in sym.
patty with the ends President Wilson
is seeking to serve. He has supported
the President steadfastly OIL every roll
call, and has rendered valuable service
in promoting among House members
knowledge of the administration 8
purposes and sympathy with it's aims
He is regarded at Washington as one
of the administrations dependable
friends, and one of the party's rising
men.
"Mr. Connolly is resting his appeal
for election solely on the record of the
administration. This was the keynote
of his speech as temporary chairman
Of tie state convention at Council Bluffs.
There he declared his willingness to
stand or fall with the President. and he
is telling his every audience that he
would regret his defeat more as con-
structive reputation of the President
than as a blow to his own ambitions.
In this statement he is manifestly
sincere.
"Iowa has faith in the integrity of
the President, in the wisdom Of his
views and in the patriotism of his
motives. Putting Connolly in the
Senate will give the President one who
will work in double harness with him
there as faithfully as he worked with
him in the House, and one who will
join him in every effort to carry out
the administration policies. The voters
of Iowa should elect Connolly on
November 3rd to the United States
Senate"

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence OF capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia. use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine. heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has a world. wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains
TT ro-rtine or other sedative. For

Superlative Stupidity

TIME lquor dealers of Pennsylvania have
L certain fixed rights. BY the acquiescence
of generations they have acquired them.
They have invested their funds in the manu-
facture or sale of alcoholic drink No ques-
tion Of morality faced them hundred years
ago. They cannot be expected now to appre-
ciate the point of view of an era which de-
votes it's ultimate efforts to the promotion of
efficiency, the mitigation of poverty, and
answers with action its daily prayer, lead us
not into temptation
But rights are forfeited and privilege
squandered when the best of the liquor deal
ers Join with the worst of the liquor dealers
in a deliberate and undivided conspiracy to
prevent the people of the political entities of
the Commonwealth from exercising their
constitutional right to define nusances. 1t
is ono thing for a candidate on principle. to
appeal to his constituency to treat without
prejudice fairly and squarely, more or less
vested interest. 1t is another thing for
candidate to bargain and barter with the
outcast- breeders Of society to trade per-
petual license to them in return for their
united and unanimous support.
In practically every State where whisky
has been an issue, its advocates have goaded
reasonableness into fanaticism by their mad
endeavor to subsidize the electorate. The
coalition of the liquor dealers Of Pennsyl-
vana In support of Penrose is an evidence OF
superlative stupidity.

HUM OF HUMAN CITIES

Oregon has done more for peace than rec
ognize a single day of prayer The activity
has centred in Portland, whence the journal
reports a distinct effort at peace propaganda
every day of last week. Business men nave
stood with bowed heads, joining in prayer
for the end of war in Europe. The national
anthem has been sung with fervor intensl-
fled by the gratitude that the horrors de-
picted the suffering described, the loss in
volved have been kept at such distance
that only the echoes of conflict are heard.
Twenty-Five thousand children in the pub
lie schools in one day heard the message OF
DeaCe They were told that nations which
learn war make war. 1t was suggested that
to learn industry is better than to learn to
fight that 1t is better to harden hands than
hearts. They were told that war despoils
homes and pays only in the currency Of
misery.
The street cars prominently displayed
posters proclaiming that Peace Means
Plenty; the storekeepers have exhibited In
show windows the insignia of peace-the
horn of plenty the dove. Even the adver-
tisements have been subjected to the chance
that their power Ia make sales would be
lessened by using part of the space for the
Gospel of Peace.
Men who have prayed the Prince of Peace
for cessation of war applauded to the echo
the speaker who said, II praise God ten
thousand times and more for the President
whose hand has guided us away from con-
hiCt"
