The Great
Moral issue
BY w. ]. BRYAN.
Tin The Commoner.) }

The prohibition issue is here, and
here to stay until the saloon is driven
out of the United States. 1t is the
great moral issue of this generation
and the Democratic party is the party
to lead the fight In the nation.
The election just held has unexpect-
edly released the party of any obliga-
tion it may have been under to the
liquor interests. They threw their in
fluence to the Republican ticket and
went down to defeat with it. And the
Democratic bosses lie in the same dis
honored grave. They must confess
EITHER, THAT THEY WE'RE REAL
LY AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OR
THAT THEY CAN NOT DELIVER
THE VOTES WHICH THEY CLAIM
TO CONTROL. Which position will
they take? Did they betray the par
ty or are they impotent to aid?
Let the dry Democrats begin work
at once to secure control of the Demo
cratic organization, state and ma
tional. Nearly half the states are now
dry, and the number will be swelled
to nearly, if not quite, 80 before 1920.
To take the side of the saloon is to
invite disastrous defeat. To take the
side of the home is to draw to the par
ty the strong young men who are COM
ing out of the schools and colleges and
who will, within few years, be the
dominant force in politics. Again in
the nations life the old question de
mands an answer: Choose ye this
day whom We will serve!"
The Commoner is in this fight and
calls upon its readers to organize for
the struggle which is to determine the
party's attitude and it's future strength
Space will be given to letters report
ing the situation in different parts Of
/ the country. Let the work of organi
cation begin, and begin NOW.

Here's W hat Men
on Border Would
Like For Christmas
THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY
THING, BUT HAVE JUST MADE
SOME SUGGESTIONS.

Camp Wilson, San Antonio, Tex,
Nov 23.-For once in their lives, the
wives, mothers, and sweethearts of a
thousand or more Mississippi men will
not have to worry what to get them
for Christmas.
Usually it is choice between a
neck tie and pair Of gloves.
But this year the boys at camp are
making out lists-not to be sent home,
of course but merely in the way of
suggestion for any one who wants to
make it public.
First and foremost. the Mississippi
boys at the border want tobacco. 1t
doesn't matter what kind Of tobacco
it is. Cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobac.
co, "eating" tobacco, anything that
win smoke or chew is welcome.
Second in the list comes sweet.
meats. The boys get a great deal Of
plain food, and occasionally some deli
cacies on their bill of fare, but they
.ared fruits, and such Injuries.
Writing materials are the next in
most common demand. The boys use
lots Of writing paper, and many Of
them have had to use wrapping paper
the backs of handbills, or such other
materials as We're at hand for substi
tutes.
Books and magazines, old or new
are among other things the Missis
sippi soldiers would be glad to receive
in their Yuletide mails, if they are
here on Christmas.
The personal circulation system is
is in vogue and everything that ar
rives in the line of reading matter
passes through the hands of nearly
every one in camp, SO that there is
no lack Of appreciation when some
thing new starts in circuit.
Warm pajamas also are included il
the lists. Many of the lads are forced
| to sleep in their uniforms to avoit
| freezing in the chill northersA anc
more than half of them would bt
"tickled to death" almost by some rea
fleecy pajamas.
j Although the soldiers board ant
clothing bills are paid by the Govern
ment, there are lot Of other thing
which a man must have to be com
Portable. Anything from home, Col
Hoskins says, that will break the mon
Eotony Of the army bill of fare, AM
anything that the soldiers would hay
Ito pay money for would be most at
!, ceptable and gratefully received b,
!, the Mississippi soldiers.

Hughes Telegram
to Wilson Kills
|Optimists' Club
SHAREHOLDERS OF HATTIEsRuRe
TODAY ARE RELIEVING THEM
SELVES OF BURDENS.


The Optimists' Club got its death
blow this morning, with the announce
ment that Chairman Wilcox, of the
Republican National Committee, had
conceded the reelection of President
Wilson, and Justice Hughes had ex-
tended his congratulations to Mr.. Will
son.
The two simple-looking messages
meant lot to those persons in Hat
tiesburg, as we'll as elsewhere, who
placed their money on the running
qualities of the present occupant Of
the White House. 1t means that the
money in the hands or pockets of the
shareholders is to be turned over to
them Immediately.
1t is understood that wager or two
was made on the election here. Soon
after it became generally known that
the election had been conceded, there
| was no little hurrying and scurryinl
about the city by certain Individual
who were searching for other individ
uals. Pretty soon, reports came fror
IHattiesburg haberdashefs that an III
usually large number Of hats and tie
were being sold for some unexplaine
reason, Also, it it understood, tn
,amount Of money placed in circul
tion during the forenoon was large
by far than that Of any other forenoe
!, for weeks.
II No one is openly vouchsafing re
son for this, the grand jury being su
iect TO call.
