Louisville, Mr.. Bryan met with the
Kentucky Democratic Forward
League and directed the first step
in the direction Of Statewide pro-
hibition. He came out strongly
against the wet part of his party;
declaring that THE real anarchists
of the country today are the liquor
men who stand behind the parties
and boast that they can violate the
law with no fear of punishment"
These men must be driven out of
the party for Democracy can not
afford to die Of delerium tremons."
Mr.. Bryan has pledged his service
for the next four years to the "drys"
of the national Democratic Party to
save it"from the hands OF the most
damnable group of men in the coun-
Try today, because the future of the
Democracy in America depenris up
on the absolute suppression of the
liquor power
Kentucky democracy will lead the
campaign for Statewide prohibition
at the next general election because
the Democratic Forward League is
a reality and working force.
