1t is true that Cox is accredited to the "wets."
He was put across by Brennan of Illinois, Nugent
of New Jersey, Taggart of Indiana and Murphy
of New York and Tammany. And all these
gentlemen and political bosses have been for
years chief spokes in the great "wet' political
wheel.
What of it? Prohibition or the most recent
phase of "wet" propaganda, the percentage of
alcohol in light wines and beer, is local and
non-partisan issue. 1t will take congressional
action to change the present law Were he
elected president, the "wet" Mr. Cox could not
originate "wet' legislation.
Republican and Democratic representatives
and senators from "wet' districts and states will
vote "wet' on any sumptuary legislation. Those
from dry" districts and states will vote "dry. y
The solid South, overwhelmingly Democratic,
is emphatically dry" Democratic representa-
tves and senators from that section will uphold
the present dry" law. The agricultural dis
tricts and states of the North are also as
dry as bone. Representatives and senators
from such districts and states regardless of
whether they are Republicans or Democrats, will
join forces with the southern Democrats to main
tain the present "dry'' laws.
The two sections together give the "drys" an
overwhelming pTepOnQeTanCe LII congress ana
effectively guarantee the efficacy of the
eighteenth amendment, whether the "wet" Mr..
Cox is or is not elected.
Doubtless short rest will restore to Mr..
Bryan his proper perspective and he will see the
situation in the above light. He will then prob
ably take off his coat and get into the fray for
the Democratic party, if not for the wet" Mr..
Cox.
The "wet' and dry" issue, therefore, can
not enter into the national campaign, regardless
of the degree of moisture Governor Cox repre-
sents. Few voters will be fooled by this
nominees personal predictions into voting for
the Democratic party, assuming that Cox, if
elected, can again make the country "wet.'
The national campaign will be waged around
the record of the Democratic administration and,
as President Wilson demanded, the League of
Nations and, as many people hold, the surrender
to it of this nation.

Governor Cox apparently is faced by internal
dissension in his party. The Democratic party
instituted wartime prohibition, which later de-
veloped into the eighteenth amendment and
permanent prohibition.
The Democratic convention voted down both
wet and dry planks for it's platform, leaving
that document non-con,mittal on the subject,
though really implying that the liquor question
had been definitely settled by the eighteenth
amendment
Then the Democratic convention proceeded to
nominate for president Governor Cox, who is
suspected of being moist, almost "wet," in his
views. At least when Jim Nugent, boss of the
Democratic party in his state, voted New Jer-
sey's delegates for Cox he simply announced,
New Jersey votes % wetr'
The element of dissension enters in the per-
son of William Jennings Bryan, the ardent leader
of the "dryest" forces in the Democratic party.
Bryan introduced the dry" plank that was de-
feated by the Democratic convention. This, to-
gether with the nomination of the moist" Mr..
Cox has taken all the pep out of Bryan.
"My heart" said Bryan in an interview fol-
lowing the convention, 'is in the grave with our
cause" To the question whether he will or will
not support Cox he replied, 81 must wait until
my heart comes back to me-"

apparent than real. We're his perspective not

platforms silence on the whole wet and dry

She was always complaining Of

gas and often gripping pains would
strike her in the stomach. A lump
would rise in her throat that made her
feel like she was choking. Her bow
els were badly constipated and she had
to take medicine for this trouble every
night; if she didn't she would suffer
the next day; splitting headaches
sometimes put her in bed.
The first bottle of Dreco worked
a big change in her; her bowels be-
came regular; pains left her back; she
hasn't had a headache in some time
now and her nerves are quoted so that
she sleeps all night now. Her stom-

DIVIDED PEOPLE.
BY George Matthew Adams

OlVID6O HEOPLE.
Pc Team work is an inspiring thing, no
matter where it is applied. There is
something about undivided effort that
seems to increase the individual effort
OF everyone.
Nothing deadens and discourages
like a person who is divided in his
purpose.
The office worker who has his mind
half the time on things outside and
foreign to the interests Of his Job,
harms himself much more than he does
his employer. For his employer will
soon discover the fact and get new
worker-but the worker is forming a
habit that will soon make him worth
, less, no matter where he works or
what he does
The man, or woman, who gets up
each day with a feeling of hope and
happiness in his heart, in constructing
the path of a triumphant experience.
For the man with single, dominat-
ing purpose in his life is an undivided
f2ctor-he knows how to work with
anyone-With those weaker. as we'll as
those stronger than himself.
Learn to cooperate, to coordinate

the early Christmas shoppers saw something
of the commercial side of toys that was as
new to them as the 1920 toys themselves,
The buyer told them that the production of
American toys for this year would amount
in round figures to more than $50 900 900, of
which $15,000,000 represented the production
of American dolls; that these figures had in
creased from a production in 1914 of ap-
proximately $14,O00.000 and that the importa-
