CATHOLIC DItYS ASK WILSON TO
KEEP HANDS OFF
By the Rev. W. B. Norton, in

ganda intended to nullify the na

prohibition on July 1 were unanim

anno convention nf fb nM,i

The resolutions also t.lmnirn'
gress for submitting woman's suf
frage to the states and congratulated

BACKED BY GERMAN BREWERS
A Washington dispatch, da,ted
June 19, says: Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary of tho board of
temneranco of the Methodist Enki-
copal church, charged before the!
sonate judiciary subcommittee touay
that agitation for legislation per
mitting tho continued manufacture
of beer containing 2 per cent alco
hol was part of a well organized pro
paganda backed by German, brewers
and brewery workers.
Mr. Wilson also charged that the
Allied Medical Association of Amer
ica, which recently indorsed the use
Of wines and beer, but later rescinded
its action was not a medical organ
ization in "good standing", but one
formed by "quack doctors" especially
for the purpose of promoting anti
prohibition propaganda. He read a
telegram which he said he had re
ceived from the American Medical
Association and Which said:
"Allied Medical Association not
representative of scientific medicine.

Austria; L. Mottefy, secretary-treasurer

born in Hungary."
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
Jackson was honored by a visit
from W. J. Bryan yesterday, when
he made two speeches,' a short talk
before the Rotary Club, and an hour
and half address at the First Baptist
church, which was literallv nanirAd
with an immense audience, an eager
auaience, which enjoyed and ap
plauded one of the most eloquent
talks over delivered within its walls.
While Mr.. Bryan canfe here' under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon
League, and spoke in that interest,
he did not confine himself to that
subject alone, but took in and ex
plained the League of Nations, pre
dicting that the senate would ratify
it, that the republicans would bluff
around awhile, but that when the
time came for action, enough repub
lican members would vote with the
democrats to ratify the treaty.
He went extensively into the pro-
hibition question, and rnrT '

ment; but on this point he e2
little applause. He said that K
tho women votes tht saved the dJZ
1916, and the record shows that to
be true. l w
In his speech bofore the Kolarr
Club Mr Bryan also reaffirmed his
position in favor of government con
trol of private monopolies, rather
than have them control tho govern
ment, but did not refer to that sub.
ject in his night talk.
While all of the address was inter.
esting, the closing part was especi
ally attractive, as it had all the fire,
force -and eloquence of Bryan when
delivering his famous cross ot gold
and crown of thorns speech in 1896,
which preceded hlj nomination for
president at the Chicago convention.
Richard is certainly himself again,
and Bryan does not stale with age,
or grow tiresome with 59 years rest
ing over his head.
After he had finished last night
the question was freely asked, "Will
he be a candidate again?" Tho reply
was that "While it may be difficult to
nominate Bryan again, he could be
elected hands down, if nominated,
for he is the author of practically all
the reforms put into practice by the
democratic administration."-Clarion
