w. J. Bryan Suggests Principles That
Promise Success.

Promise Success.
William Jennings Bryan took a mes
sage of hope and cheer to members of
the jefferson club at their picnic at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, Tuesday.
IF any one can preach the gospel OF
hope, it is the man who has been res
urrected so many times that death
seems to be commonplace" Bryan said
in reference to his appearance.

"Democracy's Opportunity" Bryan
mentioned five mediums through, he
said, which the Democratic party might
rise to success, national bulletin. for
dissemination Of unbiased political
news and party opinions. prohibition
reduction of taxes, a proper aligning
of monopolies and disarmament. :. :.
"The most crying need Of the coun-
try today is the maintenance OF unpol-
lutcd channels of information, SO that
the public may know what is going on
at Washington" he said.
Mr. Bryan suggested. tentative
plan for his proposed national bulletin
and added:
I'VE don't want congressional rec
ord; we don't want paper such as
George Creel printed during the war
though both are good. We want a dai-
w paper to be issued by the govern :
ment whose news columns shall be
non partisan, whose editorials shall be
BIZ partisan
On prohibition, Mr.. Bryan said:
"The Democratic party can not avoid
the part it has had in bringing prohi-
bition to this country. l am PROUD OF
it's part. But I am not proud of the
part it has played in Ohio
Discussing monopolies Mr.. Bryan
said that where there was any excuse
for the existence Of one: 1t should DC
taken over by the government. Plutoc-
racy he said, was the breeding place
Of revolution.
Mr.. Bryan's chief hopes for the fu-
ture Of the Democratic party lie IN the
matter of taxation, he said. And, 1t Is
there, he added, that he expected to see
p. new leader of the party arise.
"1f the Democrats take a firm stand
for the rights Of the common man. the
man who pays for the wars and fights
them too, then they can not help but
go back into power with bigger land
slide than they went out with
Turning to the subject of peace, MI.
Brvan said he felt the problem woula
not be as troublesome as taxation as

in which we were prepared and we
don't want to be prepared for anoth-

"Thcrc are three thoughts about dlS-

large.
II believe, and there are few others
who believe with me, that we shoulc
Stand for disarmament by agreement
if possible and by example If neces'
sary. By this, [ do not mean that w
should scuttle every ship we have riGh
