BRYAN'S SUPPORT
ENCOURAGES DRY"
Political Gossip Caused by An.
nouncement Expected in the
Commoner.

Announcement OF forthcoming
editorial in the Commoner, Secretary
Of State Bryan's weekly paper.
strongly urging national prohibition
and warning the Democracy of the
nation and the states to make no al
lance which SAVIOR of the liquor in
terests. is causing considerable po-
litical gossip.
Prohibittonists are enthusiastic over
the active and vigorous support Of a
fighter OF Mr.. Bryan's ability. They
see in the Bryan position an oppor-
turity to make prohibition one Of the
vital issues in the 1916 campaign,
and there are some so optimistic as to
prophesy that Mr.. Bryan's leadership
may be such that he will be a Presi-
Dental candidate on the prohibition
issue. which the white ribboners hope
will sweep other issues aside.
While the practical politician can
hardly conceive Of Secretary Bryan
forsaklng the Democracy to run on a
prohibition ticket, or obtaining the
Democratic nomination on a prohibit
tion platform. there is much specuIa-
ton as to the announced crusade
against the demon rum" of Mr.
Bryan's paper. Why. they ask, should
Mr.. Bryan rush to the forefront now
with prohibition arguments just as
the country begins to turn its eyes
t. 1915.
The prohibitionists believe they
have things coming their own way.
With the South dry and with four
States Of the West as recent con-
yerts to the cause, in addition to
States where local option has made
big sections dry. the prohibitionists
are looking about for a national lead
er. Mr.. Bryan would shine as the ex-
FOUNDER of the prohibition doctrine
and there are those who do not re-
gard II as impossible that he may
lead great moral movement-such
as the anti-slavery issue which broke
down party lines a half century ago
when the 1916 campaigns are
opened.
