eating the really excellent breakfast
of Katie,s cooking, he had said
heartily:
..well! Katie, as long as you keep

BRYAN HAS FOLLOWING.

Mr.. Bryan has not only Deen elccleO
himself as delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention at San Fran
cisco, but he has run second in the list
of all the candidates outside of Oma-
ha, which is in the craps of the Null
lens machine, and he has elected eight
of the twelve Nebraska delegates. In
Guiding those from the districts. along
with himself.
Commenting on this. the Chatta-
nooga News says:
This is an emphatic answer to the
movement starting in New Jersey and
Nebraska to attack the eighteenth
amendment, for, as will be seen from
the comment OF the st. Louis Star,
which we are printing below, the issue
raised by Mr.. Bryan was on the pro-
hibition question, not on the treaty.
The commoner was for the treaty,
with reservations. Senator Hitchcock,
who is q man of great ability and ex-
|cept for his attitude on the temper
ance and suffrage questions would
take high rank among the Democratic
leaders, unfortunately pronounced in
favor of an amendment of the Vol
stead act SO as to permit light wines
and beer to be manufactured and sold.
The Star explains the contest very
sufficiently in the following:
Mr.. Bryan raised one issue, and
only one. That was opposition to the
Hitchcock platform of beer and light
wines. Senator Hitchcock raise two is
sues-beer and light wines and indorse-
Imert of President Wilson's tight for
ehe peace treaty reservations. Mr..
Bryan countered the latter issue by em-
phasizing his friendliness for the
league Of nations. with reservations
necessary to obtain ratification of the
treaty. These issues were formed with
such reference to the national con-
vention that Mr.. Bryan's election as a
delegate was bound to be considered
defeat for Senator Hitchcock and what
he stood for.
The Nebraska primary is therefore
q significant setback for the movement
to modify national prohibition It is a
defeat for that movement through ex-
preston Of popular opinion, and to a
greater degree through the strategic
effect Of Mr.. Bryan's presence in the
national convention. The primary also
indicates the impossibility Of placing
the league of nations issue before the
people on President Wilson's. terms.
The president has Unanswered the
league into such a status that he can
not win the support of the leagues
friends. It is absurd to think of carry
ing the league before the people on
such terms as would make Mr.. Bryan
an opponent of it, when in principle he
is more devoted to the league than
Senator Hitchcock isl
1t is very much to be hoped that thA
wet issue will not be dragged out in
the open in any other state. In Ten
