the new mon partisan. two-thirds dry
congress movement" His first Of
ficiai act occurred when he wired an
appeal to the ''drys" for publication
IN the Commoner. II read something
like this:
AS the vets are plcdging them
selves TO support wet candidates
without regard to party affiliations,
the 'drys should disregard party
lines and secure a congress two-thirds
dry In both houses. so that necessary
dry laws and appropriations can be
passed over the veto or a wet presi-
dent and so that wet president
may be linpeached and removed from
office II by failure to enforce the
law he violates his oath Of office"
When Mr.. Bryan was asked how he
ieconciled his stand with his reply
that lie was stlll a democrat when
the prohibition party offered him the
presidential nomination he said:
II regard II entirely within my
right as member of the party. Stree
I have been active In politics, have
known one democratic president to
help elect republican president and
yet remain democrat lin this he
referred TO the attitude OF Grover
Cleveland during Mr.. Bryan's first
campaign for the presidency

tion as TO tho latitude allowed mem
bers OF both parties. l should bo per-
mlted to remain silent without for
feiting my right TO membership in
