SPEECH
ROUSES THE LEGION

In connection with an address de-
livered in Richmond Friday evening
by William G. Simpson, under the
auspices of the Young Friends con-
ference, DR.. George Hunt, commander

The American Legion commends
the action of President Edwards Of
Earlham college in the stand he has
taken against the address made by

have brought such speaker to Rich

American Legion officers have been
assured that Simpson will not speak
again in Richmond Sunday morning,
as originally arranged. 1t is stated
that many Legion men, 1ncensed by

BRYAN WAS FIGHTING
TO KEEP Wet PLANK
0UT,SAYS NICHOLSON

S. Edgar Nicholson, secretary and
organizer of the American Anti-Sa-
loon league, expressed himself Satur-
day as well satisfied with the action
of the Democratic national conven-
ton Friday in refusing to, incorporate
into the party platform either a wet
or dry plank.
Mr.. Nicholson, who is at his home
in this city for few days, called at
tention to the fact that there is no
plank in the Republican platform
which specifically refers to the pro-
hibition question.
Il met William Jennings Bryan in
Chicago during the Republican nation
al convention, and | said to him then
that in order to defeat an effort to
put a wet plank in the Democratic
platform he might have to make an
effort to have a dry plank placed in
the platform" Mr.. Nicholson said.
Should Have Been Satisfied
81 think. however that when Bryan
saw that the Dem@ratic platform was
not going to contain a wet plank he
should have been satisfied and not
have carried his fight for a dry plank
to the convention floor.
at is my opinion that the vote
polled in the convention for the Brya n
dry plank, which was rejected by a
considerable majority, does not accur-
ately indicate the prohibition strength
in the convention.
Undoubtedly many delegates who
are advocates of prohibition voted
against Bryan as a matter OF political
expediency. not caring to have the
liquor question again injected into
politics and being we'll content to have
the platform make no mention of this
question
Mr.. Nicholson stated that when the
platform builders at the Republican
| national convention indicated a posi-
bility Of inserting a plank declaring
for prohibition he submitted a plank
for consideration which briefly declar-
ed that prohibition had now become
the policy of the American people.
However, the platform which was
submitted to the Republican conven-
ton made no reference to prohibition
and. in Mr.. Nicholsons opinion, this
action was wisely taken.
Drafted Plank for G. o. p.
The plank which Mr.. Nicholson
| drafted and submitted to the Republi.
| can platform committee read as fol
| lows:
by the adoption Of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Federal constitu,
tion prohibition has now become the
policy Of the American people The
Republican party stands for the en-
| forcement of that policy as it stands
| for the enforcement of all laws that
| are on the statute books. The voice
Of the people is supreme and when
expressed In a constitutional way is
not to be set aside or ignored by the
demands of any portion of our citizen
ship"

deafened by the roaring tribute OF
thousands, William Jennings Bryan
last night stood before the convention

Silent with sober eyes, his heavy

he heard a sonorous chorus Of noes"

had favored.
There was no gainsaying the genu-

toned loyalty to the United States

Finest Country, He Says
This is the finest country on the
GLOBE" the veteran soldier told Judge
Bond. His application for citizenship
was approved because Of his record
as soldier in the Civil war. Consid-
Grafton Of the applications Of the four
other Germans cannot be given while
the United States technically remains
in state Of war with Germany

up" trtfle on the history Of this

Unsettled weather will prevail for

E. Moore, local weatherman, Saturday
noon.
When asked about the weather for

expect to have neighborhood outings,
Mr. Moore said, 1T is difficult to pre-
dict the weather that far in advance
but l believe that unsettled weather

This is because of the movement Of
low barometric pressure across the
Canadian border. 1t may clear up and

Raymond Quinliuan Has
Narrow Escape in Fall

Raymond w. Quinlivan. 102 Will
liams street, narrowly averted death
Friday night when his touring car
dropped down an 1S-foot embankment
at the south end Of the Goshen bridge
on the Middleboro pike.
The accident was witnessed by an
other automobilist and Quinlivan was
rushed to the hospital Examination
showed that he escaped without in
juries, save for minor scratches and a
shaking up.
The car, after plunging backwards
down the steep embankment. halted
about foot from the edge of the
creek. Had the car plunged into the
creek, Quinlivan probably would have
drowned, as the water is more than
10 feet deep at the bridge.
