EXPECT TIDE TO TURN

that later. the President, in formal
 message. urged Congress to get active
 with most important legislation, and
 forget the exigencies of political
 campaign. And he wants to tell the
 people that the republicans, after play
 ing politics for nearly two years, did
 adjourn without even having attempted
 to serve them in any material respect.
 The governor has programme for
 reduction of the cost of living and for
 the jailing of profiteers.
 When he is in the east, he will state
 and explain that programme. His rec
 ord as governor of Ohio in formulating
 and securing the enactment of real pro-
 gressive legislation over the opposition
 cf republican reactionaries, including
 hIs present opponent, Senator Harding
 will doubtless impress the people with
 his intention and ability t. make good
 his promises.
 This pr, graml1e r:li arra1 the profi-
 teers against him. But COX mas let his
 assiriants know that he cares nothing
 for the opposition of those who are bent
 on pressing the people into the. throes
 of despair-no more than he cares for
 the organized opposition of the profess
 ssr al Germans in the United States.
 Washington. September 24.-(Spe-
 cal. )-There is one topic which no out
 standing leader Of the democratic party
 will disc1ss. That topic is Bryan.
 He is nov for tfe tirst time show
 ing his real colors," they will say in confidence and will sometimes add. 'Hs is laying predicate for an open aban- donmenc oe the party Fj' means of which he souid not win the presidency.
 and an alignment with the prohibition party But they w!I say nothing for
 subject is 4el.ca:s ona, and should not
 be discussed by them.
 MT. Bryan is again in Washington.
 While here some days ago, he made it very plain that he would not assist Governor Cox with the presidency. Since then he has published in his periodical statement that both candidates have more or less openly bid for wet
 Congress. And now he is repeating on
 every hand his former advice to the
 America npeople Elect dry" Con-
 gress whether it be republican or dem- ocratic.'
 In other years, MT. Bryan pretended to believe that there was much inherent 'iniquity in republican politics, iniquity that would ultimately destroy the peo- pie and the republic. Now. however, he admits to local correspondents that if republican candidates are dry. and democratic candidates wet" the people should elect republican Congress--to the man.
 Mir. Bryan was asked following his enunciation to the above effect, if he thought there were any other issues of importance to the people which should
 guide them in defeating republicans--- the League of Nations. the tariff. the cost of living, the profiteers. He dis missed the query by a reminder that in comparative sense, nothing amounted to anything save prohibition Asked if i he did not consider the prohibition question settled by the ratification Of the eighteenth amendment, he declared 1 in the negative and reminded his vis- ] tors that neither political party in con- vention had had the temerity even to speak good word for prohibitio. or 1 the amendment, despite it's existence as an integral part of the constitution. And so Mir. Bryan, like the politicians of the Anti-Saloon League, is non-pars tisan rather than democratic in politics. He is very saunt. grim. and apparently unhappy. ~.
