Campaign For Prohibition
Liable to Split Democrats
Worse Than Siluer-GoId

Washington, Nov. Is. Announce
ment by William Jennings Bryan that
he was going to try to force the
Democratic party to declare for ma
tional prohibition was not unexpected
here. His campaign along this line
will, however, meet with serious op--
position within his party which will
be liable to split the Democrats even
worse than did the silver-gold issue of
years ago.
White House officials to-day de-
clined to discuss the Bryan announce
ment. 1t was pointed out, however.
that President Wilson's stand on the
subject has already been fully out
lined. On national prohibition as on
equal suffrage, the President takes
the position that it is question that
should be decided by the States,
through local option measures.
Democratic leaders here admitted
that the former Secretary of State
would obtain a large following among
Democrats for a fiat declaration for
national prohibition. Especially will
this be true in those States already
having prohibition laws and in some
other States of the west
Mr.. Bryan's firm belief that ma
tional prohibition is coming to be a
paramount political issue has been
known to his intimate friends for
months. He made a positive stand on
the question at the st. Louis Demo-
cratic convention last summer. but
consented to the question being side
tracked because he wished party har-
mony to continue. He told his friends
then, however, that he would leave
nothing undone to force the Demo-
cratic party to decide for or against
by 1920.

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calome1 does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without grip
ing, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DIR. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint with the attendant
bad breath.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are pure

olive oil; you will know them by their
olive color. Take one or two every
night for a week and note the effect.

BRYAN TO DRIVE
DEMOCRATS DRY
[Continued From First Pagc]


moral side of a moral issue.
My work during the next four
years will be to do all that l can to
make democracy dry. That is the
plain. unequivocal statement of my
attitude"
The prohibition issue is the most
momentus confronting all parties, said
Mr.. Bryan, and he strongly advised
his Democratic colleagues to grab it
while 1t Is hot.
1T is worth nothing" he said
that the Republican party, now
standing defeated on old issues, will
be looking for some new ones on
which to base their fight in 1920 - it
may champion prohibition in the hope
of winning the west, which already has
declared it's position on the wet and
dry question.
1T is not at all impossible that the
two parties will in 1920 enter into ac-
tive rivalry in the prohibition issue"
The election returns, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared, make it very easy for the
Democratic party to take the lead on
the two big issues of the next four
years-prohibition and equal suffrage.
The party does not owe anything
to the political bosses who control the
politics of wet cities" he said. And a
considerable majority of President
Wilson's electoral vote came from dry
territory.
"Of the % dry States, II went for
Wilson. two more were close, and in
four other States which he carried
prohibition has practically been de-
cided upon.
Again, the President carried nearly
all the States in which women vote.
These two issues are paramount to
the party. They should not and will
not be side tracked"
