DECLARATION OF BRYAN
CONTINUED from Page One)

declare for continued prohibition.
ANY break in the prohibition wall,
he said, would result eventually In
establishment of saloons, gamh-
ling halls and dives.
Individual candidates were not
discussed by Mr.. Bryan in his ad-
dress except to say that more men
were being discussed for the presi-
dental nomination, than in any
previous democratic gathering.
There will be more tickets put
up and put down in the next FEW
days than ever before" said he.
other platform planks Mr.. Bryan
told his audience he would urge
relate to labor and profiteering. lie
advocated declaration for cum
pusory investigation of all mdus-
trial disputes to avert strikes ana
protect the public.
II want a labor plank he said
that puts the employer on eX-
actly the same footing.
II want the democratic party to
protect the third party in industrial
disputes-the public. | don't want
any court to decide these questions
| am in favor of compulsory arDl-
tration. / want something that Will
meet all our needs and be consls-
tent with American institutions. L
hope for a labor plank similar to
the plan used in thirty of our
treaties (the Bryan treaties), pro-
yiding for investigation of every
dispute before resort to violence.
Mr.. Bryan said a waiting period
during investigation of Industrial
disputes, before strikes or lockoutS
occur, would protect the puDllc.
comprising the large majority OF
those interested.
A plank denouncing profiteers
and profiteering also was urged by
Mr.. Bryan, who criticised the re-
publican platform, which, he said,
failed to deal with the subject. Jan
terms for profiteers were adNo-
Gated.
on the league of nations and the
treaty of Versailles Mr.. Bryan de-
plored their injection into partisan
politics.
81 want no sham battle in this
country this fall" he said. Il want
this country to let the world know
that wen do everything to make
this last war the last, | don't want
the treaty made a campaign issue
1t is a crime to drag it down in the
mire of partisan politics.
"If the treaty is not the para
mount issue of the campaign | see
no reason to drag it in at all
There are many other domestic
problems which could not be dealt
with properly, Mr.. Bryan declared,
if the treaty question should lead
the campaign, and in closing he
urged a declaration for Worldwide
disarmament with an agreement
for world peace made by mutual
consent" between the nations.
Military force to maintain world
peace, he declared a futile anomaly.
Washington, June 26.-William
J. BRYAN was urged to let well
enough alone on the prohibition
question, in a telegram sent him
| tonight by Representative Upshaw,
democrat of Georgia, a former
vice president of the Anti-Saloon
| league of America.
Il find leading life long drys on
every side" said Uphsaw's mes
sage, "who feel, in view of the su
preme court decision, that it is
| best for the cause and the party
| to accept and assume the prohi-
btion question closed by congress
and the court. / believe your su
preme triumph will not be to put
a dry plank in, but to keep a wet
plank out"
