ELECTION
IS URGED
Nebraskan Says Defeat of Demo
crats in Kentucky Would Be
Held Victory For oppon-
ents of Peace Treaty

Louisville KY, Oct. Con the
eve of his departure from Kentucky
in which he had made several speech
es in behalf of the state prohibition
amendment, Col. VIM. jennings Bry-
an, of Nebraska, declared himself
earnestly in favor of the election of
Gov James D. Black, saying that an
adverse result in Kentucky would
be taken as a victory for the oppon-
ents of the peace treaty.
Bryan had the following to say
regarding kentucky politics:
GAS came into the State on an
invitation of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, to speak
for the prohibition amendment, !
was not at liberty to discuss politics
in my speeches, but am very glad
to testify to my interest in the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket in Ken
tucky-
"Gov. Black is not only running
upon a platform that endorses the
prohibition amendment, but is him
self man of high character, man
that will give credit to the State and
give prestige to the Commonwealth.
81 am anxious to see him and his
associates on the Democratic ticket
elected by large majority. His
outstanding advocacy of the League
of Nations makes his election more
necessary, because his defeat would
be construed as victory for the op-
ponents of the treaty"

LEAGUE With
THE SALOONS
Deal With Illegal Sellers of Booze
From Development In Raids
At Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 6.-That the
Republican Machine in Louisville is
in league with illegal sellers of liquor
is evident from the developments in
the trial of those accused of selling
whiskey before a U. S. Commission
er.
Louisville policemen, "have no in
structiOns" to arrest violators Of the
liquor laws, even when they see with
their own eyes liquor sold to soldiers
in uniform, was the statement made
by patrolman j. B. Probst in the
trial of Fred Ziegler, on the charge
Of selling liquor to soldier in uni
form, October End.
I Cross-examined by Jack Richard
son, attorney for Ziegler after he
had testified for the Government
Probst was asked:
"And you say you saw the defen-
dant sell the liquor to the soldier in
uniform?"
Probst answered in the affirmative.
"Then why didn't you arrest him
yourself?" Mr.. Richardson asked.
Because have no instructions
on that matter" was Probst's reply.
Nat Cureton, Assistant County
Attorney, under j. Mat Chiffon, ap-
peared for Zeigler and arranged
bond for him.
Chiffon and Cureton are members
of the Hert- Morrow Ballard Repub-
lican machine and prominent in it.
That the Republicans have made a
deal for the support of the former
saloon keepers is evident from their
laxity in handling these cases, and
they have been assessed for cam
paign purposes from one to three
hundred dollars each, this collection
being based upon the amount Of
whiskey sold.
