Aa opportunity missed ta I opportunity lost Bryan Political Machine and the Liquor Question in Nebraska: A Caustic Review by Richard Lee Metcalfe (Frora tb Omaha Nebraskan.) Tha following latter baa been given to th press: VILLA S SIREN A, MIAMI. Fl.. Jan. , 11 Charles W. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb. My Dear Brother: I notice In on of the Lincoln papers that th liquor Interest ar bringing out their candidates for ths legislature In both parties. That was to be expected. They have no politic, but thay Insist upo arunnlng politic wherever they ar permitted to do so. Their lnso leno only hastens th day of their fsJJ. Tb voters of Nebraska need only to be Informed and then they will repudiate the wbola saloon-picked, brewery-branded crowd, and a month's campaign will en ahl th temparano forces to get tha facta before th public. I hav reserved th tlm from Msrch 20 until the primaries te aid In thla work, I know of no greater arvlo that I can render to tha people of Nebraska at this time In return for their oonftdenc and support I hop antl-aaloon democrats will file for svery state and legislative offloe, but If th ticket to not for any reason, com- plete, th fight will be made for those who do file. Th people are entitled to officials who ar not under obligation to the liquor dealer The democratic party has defied tb other special Inter- sts It must not be enslaved by this, th most sordid and corrupting of them all. Tours truly, W. J. BRTAN. Let 17a Rests Together. Oome now, fallow democrats, let us kason to tether. Let us bava a heart-to- heart talk on this lettr tf Mr. Bryan's. If I Bhall xmaataU any fact I shall cheerfully correct It but I am confident that you discover that Z bar "kept his tory straight" In th beginning all that Mr. Bryan anya about th liquor interests having no politics la tra a, bat It has always been ft. All he say about thosa Interest trying to control the leglalature Is true, but they have id ways tried to control the legislatar. Ail that ha saya about those Interests trying to nslav tha democratic party la true, but they hav always tried to do that and often they have succeeded. And In all that Um Mr. Bryan ha often received th support of th liquor inter acts as well ss th support of democrats who war honestly opposed to antl-liquor laws and often hi political machine has bn found helping liquor Interest candl- In other words, th attitude of th Bryan poUtloal machine with respect to a candidate or th agitation of th liquor question has never dpnded upon th principle Involved, but rather upon the poUtloal whtai of that machine. In law when Mr. Bryan was a candidate for congress for the first tlm h voted against th prohibition amsndroent which was submitted that year. Then and in 184 whan a candidate for re-election he reoelvad th support, rot only of "wots" who wer disinterested opponents of pro hibition, but ha had tha active support of tha liquor dealer from tha brewer to th humblest saloonkeeper. Thla was Ilk wise true In 1804 when he was a candidate for th United State SBttata, It waa also true in Nebraska in lta and m 1900 when ha was a eandl dat for th presidency. Now tt may be said that In thorn days of tha king ago many democrats who ar new for prohibition war opposed to it and it ta not fair to Judge anyone by that record. All of which Sa entirely true. A Brewer Wtas th Prise. Then thla brings us down to more mod ern time from the record of which more aoourat Judgment may b mad. In 177 Mr. Bryan returned from his European trip. H was mat at sea by tb "Bryan Hom Folks." Thar wer a taw "dry" among that number, but with many of them it waa not "a long tlm be tween drinks." In fact th liquor Inter aata war pretty wall represented among th "Bryan Bom Folks." It was In U0M that tha "Bryan Volun teers" wer organised tn Nebraska pre paratory to th Bryan preldentlal boom In 1901. Campaign fund wer collected through that organisation and there waa a hot contest to determine which volun teer would so cur tha largest amount Th prix was given to Harry Hayward, th genial and wall known Omaha brewer, who shed his coat and devoted all bta tlm to th effort to pfl up campaign funds for th great loadar whom he loved, so dearly. In IMS Mr. Bryan was again the nomine for th presidency. In Nebraska h received th support of many of th representative of th liquor lnteresta.hut in that year for th first tlm h was opposed by a considerable number of those people. Many of them gave their support to Mr. Taft In Nebraska, how ever, they stood pretty well by Mr. Bryan. Whan the mernbers of th lglslature as ssmblad for tha 1909 session th candi date for speaker ware Ralph Clark of Stella "wet;" Charles Pool of Tecumseh "wet" and H. R. Henry of Holt county distinctly 'dry." The Bryan poUtloal machine threw ita support to Mr. Pool, a wat candidate, and helped to defeat Mr. Henry, who was not only "dry" but was a singularly efficient and honest man. Mr. Pool waa announced aa th Bryan candtdat and to that Influence he owed largely his election. It was In 1904 while the legislature waa tn session that Mrs. Heald of Osceola, th charming leader of th Women' Christian Tempera no union met Mr. Bryan In th lobby of th House of Rep resentative and asked htm to sign a petition for prohibition (or county op tion!. Mr. Bryan returned th petition to Mr. Tleald with tha remark. "Walt NO NATIONS TOBE BANKRUPT So Declares French Expert Who Says War Will End Next Summer. HIGHER TARIFFS EVERYWHERE (Correspondence of th Associated Pre.) PARIS, Dec 10. Th answer of Paul Leroy Beaulleu, th French economist, to th question, "Will Europe be plunged Into bankruptcy because of tb war?" la "No, not even Germany." Concerning the result of th recent normous spending of money by all th nation and the conditions following the war, ha forecasted th nd or th war a year bene and after Its end a remark able industrial activity with an tatema tloaal commercial rivalry leading to high tariff tn all th nations now at war.

Ha aald: "While euca a situation baa navr before p reseated Itself tn history and while therefor all opinions must be given with some reserve, I am confident that no fear need be frit for a universal until we get the Initiative and refer- tndum. That Is the way to settle such question." F.lsat O'clock rioegna-. It waa at that seion of tha legislature that Victor E. Wilson, then a member from Polk county, and now a candidate for the democratic nomination for rail way commissioner, had charge of the pasaag of th S o'clock closing bill. The legislature finally passed that bill. A terrlflo fight ensued for the purpose of persuading Governor Shallenherger tn veto the bill. He gave It his approval. The Bryan political machine manifested little concern In either the pinui or the approval of thla t o'clock closing bill. Efforts were made by friends of tha measure to persuade leaders of the Bryan machine to have Mr. Bryan wire the governor asking him to approve the bill. But those efforts were unavailing. Governor Shallenberger waa the target for all aorta of abuse from the liquor tn- tertst but he obtained no encouragement from the Bryan machine. In 1910. during Mr. Bryan's visit to South America. Mr. Bryan brother' con ceived the notion that Nebraska should have a special session of the legislature In order to submit to tha people an Initia tive and referendum amendment To this end Governor Shallenberger was nagged at every opportunity by Mr. Bryan's brother and that personage even went mo far. during Governor Shallenberger' a ab sence frora tha state, to announce that a special session would be called. Public sentiment in Nebraska wsa op posed to a special session and Governor Shallenberger refused to call it although he did everything possible to prevent a break with the Bryan machine. Then Mr. Bryan announoed that he would make a fight to put tha county option plank tn the democratic platform. The convention held at Grand Island rejected the proposition. Helped Boat Sballeaberaer. It was during that primary tbat Mr. Dahlman contested with Governor Shall enberger for the nomination. The liquor Interests were arrayed against Governor Shallenberger on account of his apprcwai of the o'clock dosing law and they lined up solidly behind Mr. Dahhnan. Every possible effort was made to per suade the Bryan machine to do something in behalf of Governor ShaUenberger's re nomination, but it did not do it and all the time the efforts of the Bryan political machine made In the covert and hypo- ontlcal way characteristic of that ma chinewere exerted to the embexraaament or Governor Ehallenbergar and as a con sequence to the help of Mr. Dahlmaita noratnatlon. Mr. Dahlman was finally nominated. Then Mr. Bryan announoed that he would not make speeches for Mr. Dahlman. He aw not however, bolt htm outright iBlll several days before election when It was apparent Mr. Dahlman would be defeated for governor. Then Mr. Bryan made one speech at Omaha and another at Lincoln In which ha declared strongly for tha de teat of Mr. Dahlman. In 1911 the Nebraska legislature sub mitted the lnltative and referendum amendment In Una, after Woodrow Wilson's nomtna. tton for the presidency, the democratic state convention again aasembled at Grand Island. Mr. Bryan was. of coarse. anxious tor th election of Mr. WTJaon. Mr. Bryan controlled th convention aa wall as the resolutions committee. II mad no effort to include a county option plank or other temperance measure In that platform, although two years before he had declared even as he declares to day that th democratlo party must pro nounce Its freedom from the liquor inter est yoke. Tha reason that ha did not want the liquor question Injected In that campaign waa that he wanted Woodrow Wilson eleoted and he knew that th In jection of th liquor question at the state convention would demoralise tha party In thla state. It waa tha sams reason for his unwill ingness to drag th liquor question In during th several campaigns when Mr. Bryan htmseif was a candidate for offloe. Bow Their Bxylalvaed It. At th 1911 stat convention there were a lot of "dry" democrats who were "dry" all tha time. The had beard Mr. Bryan at th 1910 convention say tbat tha liquor question waa the "Ufa and death" ques tion. They had heard him la his magnifi cent speech of 1910 declare Just as he now declares that th party must shake off th liquor Interests yoke. ' And these 'dry" democrats asked if th question waa ao Important in I9W wby not put it In tha platform of 1911 now that Mr. Bryan controlled the convention and the resolutions committee. This question be came embarraaalnsT. But they were fin ally told by the representatives of the Bryan political machine that It was not necessary to drag the liquor question In for ths reason that ths initiative and referendum would be adopted and that provided th method whereby such ques tions could b disposed of without party embarrassment or dissension among democrats. It waa tha aama answer Mr. Bryan himself had given Mrs. Heald In 1909. It la the aama point urged by "dry" and "wet" democrats today who. anxious for the re-election of Woodrow Wilson, do not want th party In Ne braska demoralised any mora than Mr. Bryan wanted It demoralised In 191X when he really wanted Mr. Wilson elected; any more than Mr. Bryan wanted the party demoralised when he himself was a can didate for office. Later Mr. Bryan went into the cabinet. While he waa there th big fight for national prohibition was on. He had a chance to help. He did not do It eoliapa of world finance The destruc tion In thla war, aava possibly tn the lives lost has been exaggerated In Uie publla mind. Not a single nation Involved will be Irretrievably ruined. Tb nduting power of accumulated wealth haa been underestimated. It will take not more than tea or twelve years for the world to recover frora its losses. Sees Period t Activity. "I astlmat that th war will hav oome to a close by next autumn.

Since then the split between the president and Mr. Bryan has been grow ing wider and wider. No observing man believes for a moment that Mr. Bryan Is really a supporter of thg president In deed on the paramount Issue he Is an avowed opponent of th president. If he was at all favorable to him aa he was In 1913 he would not seek to demoralise the party In this state by forcing the liquor question Into the state convention. He would savs his efforts for the cam paign In favor of the amendment Itself after the primaries and when his efforu would count Then "dry" democrats and "dry" repub llcans can co-operate and fight for the prohibition amendment while they work with their respective parties for the gen eral questions upon which they are at agreement Then Mr. Bryan's efforts for prohibition wduld count for l.e would have behind him the "dry" democrats who object Just as he heretofore ob- Jectedt o dragging the liquor question Into the party convention when that question can be settled through the initiative and referendum. Mr. Bryan speaks about the "Insolence" of the liquor Interests. They are and always have been Insolent He says the democratlo party "must not be enslaved by this (the liquor Interests) the most sordid and corrupting of them alt" That Is tru but It has always been true. It waa Juat aa true In the daya when Mr. Bryan was being supported by the liquor Interests and In ths later daya when his good name waa uaed In thla state by his poUtloal machine for the election of candidates known to be favorable to the liquor Interest. It was Just as tru when hi machine helped to defeat Mr. Henry, a well known "dry," for speaker in the Interest of a gentleman who waa notoriously "wet" It waa true when the liquor Interests sought to punish Governor Shallenberger (and succeeded) for the eight o'clock closing law, having all the time ths covert aid of the Bryan political machine. DevaJers la "Sneak" Lltcrataurs. It was Just aa true In 1974. The story I am about to teU ahowa the lengtha to which the Bryan machine waa willing to go to nominate a "wet" candidate over a "dry" candidate. Mr. Morehead, Mr. Bergs and the editor of Tha Nebraskan were candidates that year in the demo cratlo primary. All the Influence of the Bryan political machine was thrown for Mr. Morehead, who was and had always been the liquor interests' candidate. A few days before that primary Mr. Bryan announced In a dispatch from Washing ton that he would take no part In th gubernatorial contest. On the day fol lowing the publication of that announce ment the Bryan political machine sent throughout the state under 2-cent postag an annonymous circular pretending to be a copy of an article printed In a Washington newspaper. The article had never been printed in any newspaper. It waa prepared at th instigation of the Bryan machine. . It was directed against the candidacy of tha editor of. The No brasxan. It had no tnarka to Identify its author or the persons responsible for Its circulation, It was a tissue of false hoods with Just enough truth to give it some semblanos of honesty. It sought to make It appear that Metcaif was anti Bryan and anti-Wilson, that he was being supported by the brewers and the cor poration of the state and that he had been a failure in Ills service as civil governor on ' the Canal gone. The scene at the democratlo stats con vention held at Columbus that year had convinced the Bryan machine that some thing must be done to assure Metcalfe defeat So they aent those annonymous letters, largely to Commoner readers. The facts are that while Metcalfe had never been deeply Impressed with the greatness of Mr. Bryan's brother, he was not hostile to Mr. Bryan himself. At the very moment these sneak letters were being read by Nebraska democrats, Metcalfe was then serving on the demo cratlo text boog committee, having been selected for that task by President Wil son, himself. Metcalfe hurried to Wash ington after his defeat to complete th work of preparing the democratlo text book for 1914 and later was sent by the national committee to campaign th stat of Main on th Woodrow Wilson is sus. Ths fact was also that instead of being a failure In th canal son. Mat calf uncovered enormous graft in tha commissary, which resulted in tha In dictment of nine men; he cleaned up the American prison there; built up the schools and In his relations with tha Panama officials disposed of many dfl flcult problems saving for th United States many thousands of dollars, which otherwls tt would hav lost Ths fact was that svery brewery and every saloon In Nebraska waa a recruiting station s gainst Metcalfe and that tha Influence of those Institutions aa well aa that of th corporations waa exerted for the nomination of the candidate supported by tha Bryan political machine. Talk about the democratlo party ta Nebraska being enslaved by the liquor Interests! The Bryan political machine has helped to enslave It Talk about defeating liquor Interest candidates? The Bryan political ma chin has often helped ta let such candidates. The Oaly Deasaevwtto Teas per aes Meatar. The democratic party has never been a "dry" pary.

If he is a fat man, aad le dieting t reduce, h will shov th weight bak a stance where the party has in the email est degree won the credit for temperance legislation. That was when Victor Wil son, a democrat, fathered and A. C. Shall enberger .a democrat approved the I o'clock closing law. In that solitary In stance the Bryan political machine did not help the measure. It did, however. In Its covert way, help the brewera pun Ish Governor Shallenberger for approv ing the bill. It has been the same with candidates for appontive positions. Whenever It s Itefl the tnirpoae of the Bryan ma chine to nominate or defeat a candidate It raised the point that he was a "drink ing man" for office! But whenever it suited the purpose of that machine to support "a drinking man" the support waa forthcoming without explanation. At ICxeter a capable man of fine repu tation was a candidate for the poEtoffice. It suited the purpose of the Biyan ma chine to pick another man. They dis covered that tho first candidate occasion ally took a drink, althojsh no one claimed that he was In any degree a drunkard. But on this score he waa defeated. Then In several instances the Bryan machine turned around and helped bring about the appointment of men who wera "drink ing men" In fact. They Beat a Prohibitionist. There is a fine object lesson up at Hr Springs. J. W. Johansen, editor of the paper there was s fine democrat and sn ardent prohibitionist. He bad taken the lead In driving the saloons out of his community. Because of his good party terries he had the support of democrats and democratlo committeemen generally. Republican raloon men, who had been driven out of business by Mr. Johansen. brought out a rival candidate, a clean young man and entirely deserving, to be sure. On the plea tnst this candidal waa th son of an old friend of Mr. Bryan Ihe machine put Its influence against Mr. Johansen, who waa one of the moat deserving of men, and brought about his defeat. The real reason waa that Senator Hitchcock had endorsed Mr.. Johansen on account of Mf . Johansen having the support of the democratlo committeemen of his county. It may always be depended upon that the reason given by the Bryan mkchlne Is never the real reason. When Chris Grucnther was a candidate for collector of revenue, Mr. Bryan's candidate was James C. Dahlman and Mr. Dahlman ia not unreservedly for pro hibition. Mr. Bryan waa for Tom Flynn for marshal because "Jim" wanted "Tom" to be marshal and Tom could hardly qualify for the office of superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league. The Bryan machine has announced Ita willingness to support for United States senator J. II. Morehead, L J. Dunn or Dan Stephens not one of them dry at last accounts. A Fake Tenaprravace Mack la. Th point Is that the Bryan poUtloal machine ia not to be depended upon In a fight against the liquor Interests, except at a time when It suits their political whim to fight those Interests and ln-so-far as to do so accords with their political plan : As Mr. Bryan said not long ago at Miami, "My business Is politic" What has all this to do with Mr. Bryan's present attitude and present' day political conditions T It baa this to do with It: The way to make the fight" for the prohibition amend meut Is through tha Initiative and referendum. There ar democrats who are not at ail Interested In tha liquor business, but who are op posed to prohibition, who are Just a a honest In their views as Mr. Bryan la In hla. They are much more conslstenely In favor of Woodrow Wilson than Mr. Bryan la and they ar willing to co-operate with the "dry" democrats in th Interest of Woodrow Wilson and upon the ninety-nine questions ' upon which they agree, while settling the one-hundredth question the liquor questloni trpoa which they diaage through th medium of th Initiative and referendum. It has this to do with ltt Our count try la confronted with a crisis and th re-election of Woodrow Wilson la neces sary for the country's good. However, democrats may differ on the liquor ques tion and, however, had they may work for the success or defeat of th prohW btion amendment the paramount ques tion In the democratlo primary will bet "Shall th hands of Woodrow Wilson be upheld by the party and the people he has served ao well?" Tha Bryan political machtn does not care for Mr. Wilson's re-election, bus Nebraska democrats do care. ' They ap preciate the great load ha haa carried and the service he has rendered. They wll loot be. dismayed by the threats of the machinist nor the fear that that machine will resort to trickery and secret . circular They will not be dlacouragedl by the report that the great leader will leave his hom In Florida and employ his eloquence over the prairies of Ne breaks.
