BRYAN WARNS Of WET
FIGHT IN PARTY RANKS
Sees Chairman Homer Cum
miugs and Gov. Jas. NJ.
Cox as Liquor Aids

Lincoln, Neb., May 1S.-William
Jennings Bryan turned his political
batteries on Homer s. Cummings,
chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee and Gov. Cox, Of Ohio.
In a statement given OUT here he
says:
THE selection of Chairman Cum
mings to sound the keynote Of the
Democratic national convention is
worse than a comedy. Il /. q trdE-
edy. 1t is melancholy beginning if
the Democrats have any intention Of
making a campaign this year. If
,u2 Democratic marty is 20 be wrap
ped II Q wet shroud, loc!,r, VI N
q Wall stree. safe, aud buried at sea,
Cummings is just the person to Off
ciate, but his selection is q serious
handicap if the party proposes TO ap>
peal to the progressive sLtiment of
the country"
"COX Caudidacv Disgrace"
Bryan pronounces the Cox caEli-
dacy disgrace. He says;
The fact that the Democrats Of
two dry states, Ohio and Kentucky,
have instructed for Gov GOV rrs1-as
it proper to consider his position on
the liquor question. 1t is becoming
every day more and mere apparent
that lie is the man about whose
standard the wet forces VIII gather.
Gov. Edwards is joke. A
druukard in the last stages Of deli
rum tremers would have sense EN-
ough to know that Edwards has no
chance of nomination. Senator Hitch
cock did not have any chance even
before the Nebraska primary. Eeuce
he had nothing to lose. Gov. Cox
is their man and he has fairly won
the dishonor that he seeks.
Liquor Men Assailed E.
after disgracing his state he as
pies to q position in which he could
disgrace a nation. For years the
men engaged in the liquor business
have been the real anarchists of the
country, far more dangerous than
the professional anarchists. Gov.
Cox has become their candidate.
"His nomination would make the
Democratic party the leader Of the
lawless element of the country and
his election, if such a thing were
possible, would turn the White
House over to those who defy the
government and hold law in con-
tempt.
There is no likelihood of his
nomination and no chance Of his
election il nominated, but why
should any Democrat he willing to
support q man whose nomination
would insult the conscience Of the
nation? For the triumph of prohi-
bition is triumph of the Natiou-s
conscience"

MAOE BONUS BILL
PARTISAN MEASURE
Democratic Members OF Commit.
tee Barred From Conference
at Which II was Drafted

Washington, d. C.-Partisan con-
sideration of soldier bonus legisia-
tion has been denounced in the
House by Democrats under the lead
ership of Representative Henry T.
Rainey, of Illinois, member of the
Ways and Means committee.
Probably the most serious criti-
cism of the Republican program is
due to the G.. o. P. plan for raising
funds with which to give the soldiers
a bonus. Democratic members of
the committee who favor bonus Leg
islation propose that the bonus shall
be paid by taxation of war million
aires"-men who grew rich out of
war contracts or business conditions
and prices incident to the war. The
Republicans, however; insist on rails
ing the money by levying a sales or
consumption tax, which would affect
every home in America, rich or poor.
Under the latter proposition, it is
contended by Representative Rainey
and his Democratic colleagues. Con-
gress will give the ex-soldier and
sailor a bonus and then take part of
it away from him through a tax on
the articles he eats or wears. Mean
while, the excess profits of the war
millionaires' will be almost undis-
turbed and the tax will not be paid
by those most able to bear addition
al burdens of taxation.
Representative Rainey pointedly
calls attention to the fact that when
the Democrats were in conrol of the
House during the war all the great
war measures were framed in nom
partisan spirit and the Democrats OF
the Ways and Means and other COM
mittees called in their Republican
colleagues and sought their advice
in framing war bills. In consider
ing the bonus bill, which is in effect
a war measure, the Republicans of
the House have shut the door on the
Democrats, excluded them from COM
mittee sessions, and intend to put
the bonus bill through as a caucus
measure. The G. o. p. leaders call
ed caucus to thresh out the party's
internal wrangles over bonus legis-
lation.
Increases Living Cost
I'VE propoes to tax war profits to
meet this request of the soldier boys.
said Representative Rainey. THE
tax proposed by the Republican ma
jority increases the cost of living.
The soldier boys and their immediate
families and friends will pay them
selves one-fourth of the amount of
their bonus. In other words. under
this selfish desire manifested in the
House to protect war fortunes, it is
proposed to give them, they say, ST.
25 per day for length of service. 1t
is proposed to give them this with
one hand. and with the other hand
it is proposed violently to take away
from them 25 per cent of that
amount.
THAT is the proposition against
which Democrats rebel. because we
insist on an opportunity to vote
whether this adjusted compensation
shall be financed out of the poor peo-
rle of this land or out of those who
built up colossal fortunes during
the war. The Republican majority
refuses to have vote on that in the
House"
