By William before the Democratic convention
We heartily congratulate the Democratic party it's spen-
did leadership ratification of the prohibition
amendment the Federal Constitution and pledge the party
the strict the enforcement law honestly
faith without the alcoholic content OF
without weakening of other OF
its provisions
The substitute plank Representative Richmond
F. HobSon, Of Albania, foUows:
The Democratic party justify proud of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution and pledges itself by legislation
and administration loyalty this all other articles
the Constitution honorable and legitimate
of life, liberty and the
suit of happiness to all the peoples of the earth.
The of substitute plank offered By W. Bowke Cochran
foAoWs:
The validity the Eighteenth Amendment the Constitution

liberty of the states, Federal
legislation under the Eighteenth allowing the

me plank for national bulletin to
puoilsh official news, he declared, would
put the party on record as favoring
hight and not darkness" MANY Of
the newspapers, he argued, were con-
trolled by predatory interests, while
many others erred unintentionallv
through the influence of advertisers.
Briefly he presented the merits Of
tne proflteering plank he offered and
Which he said he could not get into
nne Republican platform because
nearly all the prohteers were there
IN the convention or in the galleries."
The plank now was offered to the
Democrats. he added. in order to drive
out or the party any protteers who
might remain in it,
Inc plank against universal military
training also was argued very briefly
by the speaker and then he turned to
his league declaration
want the Constitution changed"
ne SAID so we can get out of war as
easily as We can get into war. We
fought the war to establish the great
principle of democracy, the principle
OF majority rule. If we declare here
for ratification Of the treaty. with
reservations that a majority of the
Senators agree on the Republicans will
have to join us in that declaration or
else we will take most of the Repub
llcan party away
"lsn't it better to take this sand.
which will insure acceptance of the
League of Nations, which the peonle
want and put the banner of progress
into the hands of Woodrow Wilson to
carry forward ?"
At the close of the speech the ap-
plause sweled up again as Mr.. BRYAN
leaned smiling over the front of the
platform and received a large bouquet
of peonies sent up by Mrs George F..
Hull, Of Lincoln. Neb, his home town.
The demonstration lasted only a
fraction of a minute, however. and
Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Ala
bama. was presented to support the
Bryan dry plank. Hobson got into the
convention on proxy, although earlier
IN the day Senator Reed. of Missouri,
had left for home because he could not
get on the convention floor with an
alternate's proxy.
Kisses for Hobson
Hobson stirred up rumpus when
he charged that there was on foot a
"conspiracy" against the Constitution
In the center of the hall Representa-
tive A. j. SABBATH, of Illinois, jumped
to his feet and shouted: "You are saw
ing something that is not true" and
Kisses mingled with the applause The
chairman got order. but the disturb
ances started up again when a moment
later the speaker shouted that those
who did not like the Constitution
should leave the country.

one delegate yelled Cut out the three
hours"
Unanimous consent for the agree
ment was refused by a chorus of OBJ
jections. but on motion of Senator
Glass the rules were suspended and
the three and half plan was
agreed to. Then Mr. Bryan was recog-
nized to begin argument on his pro-
posals. He was allotted an hour under
the conventions agreement. but said
he would yield large part of that
time to others supporting him.
Beginning his speech with an argu-
ment in favor of the Eighteenth
Amendment, Mr.. Bryan soon got the
convention to cheering. Every Demo-
cratic state" he said, had ratified the
amendment and every one recognized
that the "liquor traffic is dead, never
to be :esurrected
The only question is whether we
shall recognize it as dead he contn-
ued. cor allow it to lie out on the
that a corpse be put out of sight"
The liquor interests, said Mr.. Bryan.
were not trying to reopen the question
but now had come down to advocating
wine and beer for home consumption
only. He argued that to remain silent
on the subject would leave open the
possibility of change in the law to in
crease the alcoholic content.
IL want to leave no opening for mis-
understanding or bubble" he said. $50
have put into my plank the provisi ion
that there shall be no relaxation of the
law. What we hate is alcohol. and we
hate it whether we find it in whisky,
in wine or in beer. They tell you that
wine is harmless drink, but you will
find that through the ages it has been
vine that has cursed mankind.
"1f you can't get enough alcohol to
make you drunk, why do you want al
cohol at all? Some tell you that if
you pass my plank some people will
leave the party. That's true But
while you may lose some you'll bring
in number infinitely greater, and
when they come they'll come out of
love for the principles for which we
have declared"
AS he worked into his speech the
Nebraskan mixed many biblical refer
ences with his rounded rhe torical peri
DDS. His full voice filled the hall, and
he got the galleries and some of the
delegates going into longer and longer
bursts of applause as he went on.
When he prepared to turn to the
other planks he had presented there
were protests from the galleries and
demands that he go on
"No," he replied. while the crowd
cheered, but III come back to that
after while
