URGES STATE
AMENDMENT
Nebraskan Comes to Kentucky Fo
'gf Several Speeches in Behalf
OF Prohibition.

Col. William Jennings Bryan spent
Saturday and Sunday of last week
in Kentucky speaking for the State
prohibition amendment. Col. Bryan
had a great crowd at Hopkinsville
Saturday afternoon and hundreds
were unable to get within hearing
distance, of him at the W. C. T, U.
state convention at LaGrange. He
made powerful plea that Kentucky
permanently put up the bars against
the saloon and he urged all dry
voters to get to the poles election
day.
Colonel Bryan said that while he
had no direct information it was his
opinion that the wartime ban
against the saloon would not be lift
ed before January, when the national
amendment goes into effect. He said
that the defeat of the amendment
would be taken by the "wets" as an
indication that the prohibition wave
had reached its crest and was reced-
ing.
He gave statistics given him Satur-
day in Hopkinsville, KY, during the
months of July, August and Septem-
of last year and Of this.
In 1918 there were SIT arrests
during these months, against 135 in
1919; 334 of these were for drunk
enness in 1918 and seventeen for
that cause in 1919, and 249 arrests
for other crimes in 1918 against lis
arrests in 1919, according to the
records.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Although
President Wilson continues to i'm

it might be considerable time be-

Rear Admiral Grayson, the pres

make no prediction as to when Mr..
Wilson might return to his desk but
said it would not be soon if he fol-

The President is most anxious to
get back into the swing of affairs,
however, and it is with difficulty
that he is persuaded to remain in
confinement.
DR.. Grayson issued the following
bulletin at 10 o'clock: "The Presi-

Much Ado About Nothing.

An inability to get any regular
judge to hold special court this
month has caused the trial of Mr..
and Mrs. A. M. Herndon and Frank
Logan, at Russellville, to be post
poned and Republicans are raising a
considerable hullabaloo over it.
Governor Black asked the follow
ing Judges to serve, two of them Re-
publicans, and all answered that
they were unable to do so:
Judge Mckenzie Moss, Bowling
Green; Judge Robert L. Stout, Frank
fort; Judge j. R. Layman, Elizabeth
town, and Judge Chas. H. Bush, of
Hopkinsville; Judge L. c., Fryer, of
Butler.
The defendants, newspaper own
ers, indicted in Judge John Rhea's
court for criminal libel because of
personal criticisms of the Judge
will hardly be convicted and the case
might as well be thrown out of court.
Personal grievances should be set
tied outside of court rooms and not
at public expense. It is not a mat
ter of much concern what Logan
county politicians thing of each
other.

a representative of the public, pro-
viding that committee consisting
of three members from each Of the
groups of employers, labor and the
public, be appointed to investigate p

groups representing the public and
employers.

support of the labor delegates, In

railroad brotherhoods. The propoS-
al, like all others submitted, under
