BRYAN WILL FIGHT
FOR A DRY NATION
WANTS DEMOCRATIC PARTY To
DECLARE FOR PROHIBITION
IN 1920.

William Jennings Bryan will devote
the next four years of his life to max
ing Democracy dry.
In an interview published in a New
York newspaper Wednesday the one
time secretary of state declared his
party cannot afford to take the "im-
moral side of a moral ISSUE" that
prohibition is a big issue now and
that members of the Democracy will
rot allow the party to be buried in
a drunkard's grave"
Bryan's drive against the demon
rum will start Immediately, for he
speaks Sunday at Indianapolis and
Monday at Chicago. Conservatism.
he says, will support the Wilson ccon-
omic and legislative program by 1920,
hence the party will be free to look
10 new, important issues, such as pro-
hibition and woman suffrage.
Says Election Paves Way.
"The election returns" Bryan said.
Hdhc IL easy lOL DClAOSlu utN
party to take the lead in both these
reforms. 1t does not owe anything
to the political bosses who control the
vet cities, and besides, considerable
majority of President Wilson's elec-
toral votes came from dry territory.
IF the Democratic party takes the
liquor side of the prohibition ques-
ton, it will risk loss without GER
tt.inty of gain even if it could be sup
posed that it was willing to make an
even trade of dry votes for wet ones"
Mr.. Bryan suggested that the Re-
publican party, too, may be in the dry
fight in the hope of winning the dry
vote Of Western states that went
against it this year.
Announcement Expected
Bryan's announcement that he was
going to force the Democratic party
to declare for national prohibition
was not unexpected at the national
capital, says dispatch from that
city, but his campaign along that line
will meet with serious opposition
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 declined to
discuss tho announcement. 1t was
pointed out, however, that President
Wilson's stand on the subject has al
ready been fully outlined. On ma
tional prohibition as on equal suf-
f-age, the President takes the posi-
ton that 1t is a question that should
be decided by the states.
Democratic leaders at the national
capital admitted that the former sec
retary of state would obtain a large
following among Democrats for a fiat
declaration for. national prohibition.
Especially will this be true in the
states already having prohibition laws
and in some other states Of the West.
Mr.. Bryan's firm belief that nation
81 prohibition is becoming para
mount political issue has been known
to his intimate friends for months.
He made a positive stand on the
question at the st. Louis Democratic
convention last summer. but consent
cd to the question being sidetracked
because he wished party harmony to
oortirue He told his friends then.
however. that he would leave nothing
undone to force the Democratic party
IN decide for or against prohibition
by 1920.

men Of the West on their knowledge
Of politics and their intelligent use
Of the ballot.
Governor Lister assured his audi
ence of his appreciation Of It's express
sion Of good will and promised his
best efforts toward the upbuilding of
the state and the welfare of its people.
He assailed in no uncertain terms the
Perkins Press Of Olympia and Tacoma
for its political activity in attempting
to control men in office for it's own
selfish ends.
II want to tell you people Of Olym-
pia," he said, that the biggest liza
bility that you have is the foreign
owned newspapers that subordinate
the welfare of the city to their own
interests in an endeavor to control the
patronage of the state.
Lister, Not Perkins, Governor.
II want to tell you here and now,"
he added, that I, and not Sammy
Perkins, will be Governor of the state
for the next four years."
The Governors references to the
Perkins Press brought forth great ap-
plause from the audience.
The Democrats and Independent
Wilson and Lister supporters were in
the highest spirits and the jollifca-
ton was one of the most enthusiastic
gatherings the city has recently seen.
The Democratic ladies served cider
and doughnuts and general hand
shaking closed the meeting.
