BRYAN DIPS
BLOTTER IN
SHIP MUDDLE
Condemns Violation of
V0lstead Act by
Uncle Sam.
NOT NECESSARYn
Why Prohibit Logger
He Asks, If U. S.
Sells Tt?'

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 16.-William
Jennings Bryan has thrown his influence
into the fight between Adolphus Busch
and Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board, relative to the serving Of liquors
on American vessels.
In an interview given out here he
strongly opposed the breaking of the
law, as he termed il, because Of fnan-
cial or other expediencies.
Mr.. Bryan said:
First, it has not been demonstrated
that the carrying of liquor is necessary
for the success Of the ships. The action
was taken upon the opinion Of few
men without the authority of Congress
and without public discussion. There
is no sufficient reason TO halieve that
failure TO carry liquor would discour-
age travel.
You cannot take the opinion of wet
on any fact connected with the liquor
traffic. They see only one side and be-
lieve anything that is said on that side
Second. if it is competition with other
ships that compels the Tinted States to
violate its own laws, it is possible to en-
force our laws on any ships that enter
or clear from our ports. We can deny
entrance or clearance to any ship that
violate our laws within the three mile
Third, If it were true that the ships
would lose pecuniarily, if they obeyed
the law. it would be better for the United
States to stand the loss than TO set an
example of violating Of law. especially
if it has to Justify the violation on a
pecuniary basis. If the United States
can sell liquor for the purpose Of making
money, why prohibit the bootlegger?"

primary election for Republican nomi-
nations to the General Assembly was
nverted today and postponed at least
until Monday. The three men compris-

them by Thomas Dexter, negro, contest

asserted Dexter had paid them only So

the long time they took to eat dinner,

Harry O. Chamberlain, judge Of Circuit
court, severely rebuked the negro can
