BRYAN PREDICTS WORLDWIDE PROHIBITION AND RATIFICATION LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT

With his oratorical powers brought to full expression in an address on prohibition, Will liam Jennings Bryan yesterday afternoon held i'll rapt atten- ton more persons than could be seated in the First Baptist church when he delivered the first of his two lectures here. The meeting was to have been held at Woodrow Wilson park, but on account of indictment weather the place was changed. Others who accompanied MT. Bryan here and made talks yesterday after noon are E. R. Sinclair of Beilvilie. Can; pr. c. w. Saleeby, expert on the subject of eugenics and a noted scien- tific author, and Rev. R. B. S. Ham, mond of Sidney, Australia.

Now I want you to hear from some men whose talk will be more interesting than mine could be, and whom you may not often have the privilege of hearing" He in troduced the other speakers, and wher
 they had concluded, pr. Brooks Law

 bershp cards among the audience aft CT which MT. Bryan made his address.

 T am sorry the President recom- mended the repeal of war time pro- hibition. I believe he does not know the true situation, that he has got ten out of touch with the situation while studying out legal questions. He need not think that the republicans will follow him. They will not even follow him when he is right.

SPREAD PROPAGANDA


 MT. Lawrence stated that the Anti prohibition laws, and will spread prop aganda everywhere for worldwide pro- hibition.
 Mir. Bryan began his address in his own masterful way, quietly and dis tinctly. From an oratorical point Of view it was a master piece. Every word was heard distinctly all over the room in spite of the noise of passing street cars and automobiles. Although he has aged noticeably since he appeared here in a public address last. he is fully as young and energetic in speech and at-
 tracing power as ever.
 When I began active work for pro-
 hibition nine years ago I thought l would never live to see the day when prohibition would even be a leading issue," MT. Bryan said, But I now feel certain that I will live to see the day when there will not be a saloon under any flag in the world
 SOLDIER VOTE
 q have heard ]. s.... .--. there will be hinderances for us. Some have warned us that the soldiers will undo what has been done in regard to pro- 1 hibiton. l want to give three reasons why there is no danger of this happen ing. First, the Congress that passed lnS pTOulDlllOn Dlll WAS elcCleQ iiNc months before the United States en- i tered the war. The soldiers help elect them before they left. Second. there were 2S dry states before we entered the war. which proves that over half of the country, so far as states are concerned. favored prohibition. Third, every soldier took an oath to support the constitution. The soldiers were willing to die in support of that con- stitution and I know they will notcome back and break it in support of law breaking distillers.

 In introducing Rev. Hammond, MT. Bryan said that he has been working for prohibition since he was 20 years l old, and that he has shown more moral courage there than we do here. 1 In explaining the condition of Au- 1 starlia, Rev. Hammond said: we are wet. We are soaking. We are running | over. We are leaking at every corner | Niagra Falls is a desert compared to I Australia.

PEOPLE FAVORABLE

The people favor the covenant. If the Senate does not ratify, those senators who oppose it will have to answer to their constituency for embezzlement of power. All laws are compromises. I have never voted for bill all the details of which I agreed with. They are not perfect, and everyone cannot agree with them. But the proposed league is in- fintely better than what we have. We should not only ratify it, but should rat fly it by majority so great that the world will know that this nation will lift high the light that leads to higher ground
 Following MT. Bryan's speech Senator Frank $. White introduced a resolution indorsing the league of nations. It was unanimously passed
