URGES PROHIBITION
AS PARTY SLOGAN
William J. Bryan's Plea to
Democrats at Dinner Given
in His Honor.
PRESIDENT LAUDs LEADER

| A plea to the democratic party to
make prohibition It's own, to place 1t
foremost among the reforms which the
party will demand, was made by Will
liam Jennings Bryan at a banquet
given in his honor at the Lafayette
Hotel last night.
! The great commoner was never more
eloquent, his friends claim, than in his
demand that the democratic party add
la last big ''P' to the slogan which car
ried it successfully through the recent
election-"Peace, Progress. Prosperity
and Prohibition" He addressed an as
Isemblage of more than $50 of his ad-
mirers, including members of the
cabinet, of the Senate. and House and
other high officials of the government.
His speech came at the conclusion of
series of eulogies upon Mr.. Bryan,
Bryan boom for President in 1920
being launched by Representative War
rem Worth Bailey Of Pennsylvania
amid loud cheers.
! Mr. Bryan predicted that the present
session of Congress would enact legisla-
| ton making the District of Columbia dry.
Mr.. Bryan's Address.
| Every great issue must become, soon
er or later. a party issue in this coun-
try, Mr.. Bryan said. He urged that the
democrats seize their opportunity and
beat the republicans to the prohibition
issue. which, he predicted. the repub-
licans would surely adopt if the demo-
Gratis were not forehanded, since they
had exhausted all other issues in the
last campaign.
Il have heard it said that prohibition
will divide the democratic party" said
Mr.. Bryan. But don't believe it. The
day has passed when to be a good
democrat a man must be a drunkard.
Mr.. Bryan urged upon the democrats
a number of other important reforms.
including the adoption of a constitu-
tional amendment for nationwide
woman suffrage, constitutional
amendment for a referendum to the
people on all declarations of war, ex-
cept in the case of actual invasion; the
abolition of the electoral college and
the adoption of easier means of amend
ing the Constitution itself.
He warned against increase in the
armed forces of the country on the
ground that it would develop a spirit
of militarism and lead to war; against
the proposal of the railroads that the
federal regulation of the roads be made
more complete and regulation by the
states done away with.

That Backache Spells Danger!
Action Today May Save Shepherds
town People Future Misery.

A bad back isn't bad thing if il serves
as a warning OF hidden kidney disorders.
Kidneys diseases are trightfully common
today. We override so much. We don't
give the kidneys chance TO rest up, and
while d bad back, some urinary disorder,
an occasional dizzy spell or a persistent
headache may be the only outward sign,
the kidney trouble that is behind il all
may be overlooked or neglected. Put
your signs TO use. Take them as Warn-
ingS. Fight off kidney weakness. 1t

start case Of fatal Bright's disease, from
which 100000 people die in the United
States every year. Prompt treatment at
first-that'S all that's necessary to keep
kidney weakness from turning into gravel,
dropSy, govt, heart trouble or BrightS.
Use Doan'S Kidney Pils-the oldest, the
most widely used, the best-recommended
Kidney Pill. Forty thousand Americans
recommend them publicly. Here's one
Shepherdstown case:
E. E. Hertle, commission merchant,
Princess ST., Shepherdstown, says: "My
kidneys were weak and my back was
lame. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the
trouble. still use Doan's Kidney Pills
when feel in need OF kidney medicine
and they never fail to give me relief"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Hertle
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, But

THE election in Maine on Monday last
resulted in a victory for the Republicans,
who carried the State by plurality OF
about 1900, electing the Governor, two
United States Senators and four Con-
gressmen. An unusually large vote was
polled. The Republican gain over the
vote OF 1914 was IS per cent and the
Democratic vote 7 per cent, indicating
that most OF the Progressives have re-
turned to the Republican party.
There need be no sadness among the
Democrats overthe result in Maine. That
State has been strenuously Republican
for generations, with virtuous political
relapse 10 Democracy only on rare oc-
casions, and so it has done only what it
usually does.
Besides, Woodrow Wilson was not rum
ming on the ticket last Monday.

her active support of President Wilson,
who, she says, "has proved his fitness

WE have no doubt that Mr.. Hughes
will be greatly pleased that Maine has
gone Republican. Some years back there
was also much citation in certain circles
over the fact that the Dutch had taken

THE sixty-fourth Congress finally ad-
journed last Friday. having completed all
necessary business and carried out in
full the programme OF legislation recon-
mended by President Wilson and the
measures approved by the administration
leaders. Not since the Civil War has
any Congress been confronted with so
many serious problems, nor has any
enacted so much constructive legislation.
Partisan bills have not been prominent,
but measures for the welfare of all the
people have been placed on the statute
books and will result in the public good
for years to come. Every emergency
has been bravely met and every problem
has been wisely considered and solved
so far as human foresight could provide.
Fair-minded persons concede that not
in this generation has there so much
genuinely wise legislation by Congress.
And this is a mighty good reason for
keeping a Democratic administration in
power.

AT the annual conference ofthe United
Brethren Churches OF West Virginia held
in Clarksburg last week resolution was
adopted approving of woman suffrage
and obligating the ministers OF the con-
ference TO work for the cause, TO pray for
il, to preach woman suffrage one or more
times from the pulpit and then TO vote for
il next November.
This good cause would certainly win
ifall fair and reasonable men should work,
pray and preach for if and then vote right.

AN independent organization OF Re-
publicans is being TO- med in Huntington
with the object of supporting Hon. John
]. Cornwell for Governor. Frederick
Nicholson, who is prominent in the
movement, says in letter he is sending
out TO those interested in the matter:
ITO acknowledge leadership OF Robin
son is to sanction the INSCRIPTIONS, illegal,
unconstitutional means taken by the Hat
field crowd to beat us and nominate
Robinson. Robinson is not the candidate
it'll the majority OF the Republican voters
back OF him. He is the candidate OF a
minority. who had the power to put him
over against the will OF the majority"
1t is said that more than three hundred
Republicans in Cabell county have en-
dorsed this movement already, and il is
expected that eighteen hundred will be
enrolled.

THE Attorney General ofWest Virginia
has rendered an opinion that the Prohibit
ton party is not entitled to have a place
on the ticket at the coming election for
its candidates, and the Secretary OF State
declines to certify the nominees OF that
party. The law that bars them out was
partisan measure passed by a Repuoll-
Can Legislature, the object being TO pre-
vent the Progressives from having place
on the ticket. 1t not only bars out the
Progressives, but also the Piohibitionists,
the Socialists and all other minor parties,
and is so manifestly unfair that the party
that is responsible for ii ought TO be re-
buked.
The Prohibitionists say that they will
take their case TO the courts and make
legal contention for their natural rights.

an injunction pendente lite under which
Margery Reese. 4 months old. tho most
famous tenant Of the Robert Morris
