BRYAN
Sees Gain for Democracy in
KaiSer'S Promise
Tells Dry Democrats at Columbus
Country Will Stand by
President Wilson.

[Ohio State Journal, April 12l
William Jennings Bryan rejoiced
as much in the spread of democracy
in the world, citing Germany as the
latest example, as he did in what he
cllIed the onward sweep of prohibi-
ton in his address yesterday before
rbe corve hi n of Ohio Dry Demo
c,ats.
Referring to the kaiser's request OF
his chancellor to prepare plans for
reforms in the suffrage system of
Germany, to he adopted at the con-
clusion of the war. Mr.. Bryan said:
The Guesti'' :. nov is whether the
aiser can Leep up with the move
ment he officially recognizes. He
has had his ear on the ground and
seen tn, tiGe of the times. He had
to make a promise, but it may be that
the promise will only accelerate the
movement and it is question whe-
tier he can keep ahead of it"
40 Division Now
Mr.. Bryan alluded indirectly to lbs
cwn activities as paclfist during the
last two years, asserting that it was
to be expected that in country of
100000 coo population there wonld
be divM gent views on subjects and
that everybody had the right to ex-
Iress them
Now, however, the discussion has
ended" he continued, "and the peo-
pic of tine entire country will stand
undivided behind the president. In
no othcr country should the people
be so willing TO make extreme sacri-
fees as in the United States"
Bryan pointed out that out of 25
dry states, IS are in the Democratic
column, that the Webb-Kenyon act.
the first laticnal legislation on the
dry question, was passed by Demo
cratic Congress and signed by Dem
ocratic president, that still more re-
Gently \ Democratic Congress passed
the bone dry" amendment.

Approximately $50 delegates at
tended the convention. Twice this
were drawn to the meeting
in the 4 Iarnoon, when Bryan spoke.
The assembly was in the Chamber of
Commerce Auditorium.
Delegates adopted a resolution
rledging themselves to assist in max
ing the state dry next fall and de-

on, particularly because the nation
is at wal.
The Democratic dry campaign is to

JEWS
Will Return to Russia tOSpTead
the Freedom
They Learned in the United States
Says Strauss, Former High
Government OmciaI.

| [By Oscar Strauss, Former Secretary
of the Commerce of Labor
Now that the gates Of freedom
have opened in Russia, the Jews
whom zcaJism drove into exile will
return 70 their native land to spread
the freedom they learned in the Uni
ted States.
The reign of terror in Russia be-
gan upon the enactment of the May
laws (1252J which placed 100000
Russian Jews Ender untold hardships
and restrictions.
Denied to Jews
4 PGle could travel throughout the
empire, q Finn could do business; a
Ukranian secure education.
But Russian law barred Jewish
children from schools and sick Jews
from hospitals; denied Jewish youth
admittance to the professions; for
bade Jewish families to live outside
the pest ghettos or travel
from town to town.
Organized massacres shed the
blood If old men, defenseless women
and little children.
Solving the Question
When the chief of the holy synod
was asked what he hoped to effect by
this biood curdling policy, he said;
"One-thIrd of the Jews will be con-
Ierted, one-Lniyd will be sacrificed
and one third driven into exile. In
that wav the Jewish question in Rus
sia will be solved"
The third who were driven into ex-
lie became apostles Of Russian free
dqin.
In the United States the Jew from
Russia found land Of promise, free
schools :0r his children, industrial
and professional openings for his
SONS and daughters, home wherev-
er he chose to live.
Anxious to Repay
Now the Jew is able and anxious
to repay America. By tens of thous-
ands he is going back to Russia to
show the biggest country on earth
how Ers s;a needs the United States.
There is incalculable work to be
done, acmies of still leaderless lab
orers waiting to do it, and enormous
bank deposits on which to draw. For
vodkale g Russia is steadily growing
rich.
Here lies the first opportunity of
the Russo-American Jew. They
came to America exiled apostles of
Russian freedom. They will repay
America for her shelter by returning
to spread American ideals, customs
and trade throughout new Russia.

Of Mexicans, as stubborn as mule and
as Blind as bat to all things except
his own assininity.
And yet we wheaae and dawdle and
palaver!
We keep an army on war footing at
enormous expense to the tax payers,
and yet we are not at war; we haven It
even an enemy at whom we can con-
sistently point a gun. Because neither
congress nor our government officials
seem willing to admit the fact that con-
ditions exist right in our back yard
that would have started the guns of
other nations to belching fire and lead
years ago.
But one thing is evident, and from
that we can not escape. The bills are
piling up and we tax payers have to
meet them. In plain street parlance,
we have to dig down and whack up.

We have had so many fool moves in

wondering what the next one will be,
and when it will be?
The people of this country do not
thirst for war with Mexico but they do
want justice, and the time is coming
when they will demand it in no umcer-

And, too, the people are becoming
tired Of paying taxes for the purpose of
keeping big army on the border when
that army has nothing more exciting
to do than to play baseball and leap
