Mr.. Bryan and the Senate.

Except for a brief period, Mr.. Bryan
has never been on good terms with
the democratic leadership in the Sen
ate. Years ass, when young mem
Der Of the House, he helped prepare
and pass the Wilson tariff bill. At
that time Mr.. German was the demo
cratic leader in the Senate, and when
the House tariff bill came over he
supervised its reconstruction. which
was radical. Mr.. Bryan, with other
House democrats, objected strenuous
~, but Mr.. German was obdurate.
kpch against Mr.. Bryan's wishes,
Mr.. Martin of Virginia succeeded Mr..
German. The Virginia senator was
regular IN his party record, but not
. believer in Mr.. Bryan's financial
theories. On that account Mr.. Bryan
objected to him. But without avail.
When Mr.. Kern of Indiana was
made democratic leader Mr.. Bryan was
pleased. Mr.. Kern had been his yoke
mate on a presidential ticket, and
they remained good friends to the end.
Upon Mr.. Kern's death Mr.. Martin
came back, though without Mr.. Bryan's
approval. The two men never drew
near together.
Mr.. Hitchcock, who succeeded Mr..
Martin, was not at all to Mr.. Bryan's
liking, and Mr.. Underwood, now serv-
ing as democratic leader, is quite as
little SO.
Mr.. Bryan was the last card the
anti Underwood men played in the
Alabama primary. They brought him
in at the eleventh hour, and he made
several speeches against the senator
directing his attack on the senator's
record on the prohibition question
But bis differences with Mr.. Under.
woodSantedate that question rs it is
now hown.
M4Bryan has more than once been
srggt 4ed for seat in the Senate
but 3s never encouraged the idea
prob 6y agreeing with many of his
adm1 4s that his usefulness does not
lie j ehat direction.

replacement of an old bridge sup
ported by chains in the early days.
The Anacostia or navy yard bridge,
the Pennsylvania Avenue and Ben
ming bridges spanning the Eastern
branch are merely locally named. To
call the new bridge for Georgetown,
therefore, would be in consonance with
all the other local river structures.
Memorial bridge is still in the realm
of hope.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COM
MITTEE APPEALS FOR FUNDS

80 While number of responses have
been made by Bourbon county Demo
Gratis to the appeal sent out some
time ago by the National Committee
for funds to help finance the Cox and
Roosevelt campaign, there seems t.
be a tagging in interest. One of the
first to respond to the appeal was
Mr.. John Maher, candidate for Jailer
of Bourbon county, who sent in con-
tribution of $500, with fervent
wish that it would do fifteen dollars
worth of good for the party.
Democrats of Bourbon county
should make a reader and riore gen
erous response to the appeal of the
party managers in this hour of need.
They should be more than willing
10 have the chance to do their duty.
Democrats, do you want America to
maintain her leadership among the
nations of the wcrld? Do you want
the markets of the world to remain.
open to American-made goods? Do
you want to see every nook and cor
ner of the globe open to American
missionaries who will carry the COS
pei of the Prince of Peace to every
Lation? Cox is doing his part-do
you intend to do yours?
No other administration in the
history of the country has done SO
much for America, for Americans
and for the world as has the last
Democratic administration. If VIC
can get the plain truth to the voters
concerning the glorious achievements
of the Wilson administrations the
Democratic party will win a tire
mendous victory in November. TO
make the truth known we must
spend some money for the travelling
expenses of speakers, for publicity,
and for other items of legitimate ex-
penses. Will you do your part now?
The National Committee needs
the money NOW. They do not know
how to Use it in a practical way
on election day. Whatever you can
afford to contribute to the National
campaign, whether it is one dollar
or five or ten or more, send 1t NOW
to THE BOURBON NEWS 1t will
be promptly and properly acknowl-
edged and forwarded to the National
| Committee, who will send you a per-
sonal acknowledgment. DO IL

these questions are. Another eX-
