BRYAN WILL NOT RUN IF NOMINATED Prohib Delegates Slow in Arriving for Convention Many Expected to Arrive Here Tuesday Evening Close friends of W. J. Bryan say that Mr. Bryan will not accept the prohibition nomination for president, though he may be drafted for the place by the national prohibition con vention which meets in Lincoln Wednesday morning. The commoner has indicated that he will support on ly dry candidates for congress, those favoring the strict enforcement or the eighteenth amendment known as the Volstead law. As has been already indicated, del egates to the convention have s!iovn a unanimous preference for V.'. J. Bryan as the prohibition standard bearer and some at least entertain the idea that if he Is drafted he will accept the nomination. The friends of Mr. Bryan have hastened therefore to trhow cold water on the fore casted action of the convention by pointing out that under no circum stances will he accept and makt; the race as the leader of a new army. Meantime the preparations for the hirteenth national convention of the prohibitionists are being pushed with considerable energy. Monday evening twenty-five delegates had ar rived in the city and it was annonnc ed that headquarters would be op ened at room 105 at the Lindell hotel Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The bulk of the delegates will reach Lin coln during Tuesday. Tuesday morn- ng twenty-five delegates from Cali fornia are scheduled to reara the city. . New York has indicated that will send fifty delegates. The thirty delegates from Ohio will be under the leadership of Mrs. Violi Romans, prohibition candidate for United States senator, to fill the place which is now left vacant by the nom- nation of "Warren G. Harding as the republican candidate for president. With the Pennsylvania delegation will be Mrs. Flora Diefenderber, can didate for congressman-at-large. Mrs. Mamie Colvin, a member of the New York delegation, ran for lieu tenant governor two years ago. The prohibitionists are divided as are the republicans and democrats on the league of nations treaty. A plank in the platform will favor the treaty with reservations. A plank to punish lynching will be inserted. At the conference of the members of the national executive committee to be held Tuesday morning the mat ter of availability of candidates for president and vice president will be considered. If there is no hope that Bryan and Sunday may be made the standard bearers then the convention will have to turn to other prospects. A delegate said that Mr. Bryan will prove to be far . and away the best vote getter of any man who could be nominated by the prohibitionists for president.. He pointed out that even with only a portion of the feminine vote being available approximately 17,000.000 women will be able to cast their ballots at the November elec tion. The delegate is sure that Bry an would, get tne most of these wo man votes. Delegates Arrive Slowly Delegates to the national prohibi tion convention are coming in slow ly, less than a hundred and fifty le ing estimated to have arrived in Lin coln. Tuesday morning. .A number of delegates are expected to reach the city Tuesday., Twenty-five, dele gates registered Monday at th Lin dell hotel. -Convention leaders est! mate that the total attendance, dele gates and visitors will number one thousand.

' Colonel House was quoted e.s say ing that a preliminary treaty con cerning army, navy, reparations and delineations of boundaries "could have been made by Christmas of 1918, and would have been not only the usual but the obvious thing to do." Senator Harding said: "We are beginning to understand the mistakenly plighted relationship of the United States to Europe, Just in time to proceed to a referendum intelligently. "This one representative of this, who best knew the whole situation at Paris, was Colonel House. He tells us now, in a cabled statement from London, that the suggestion ot a preliminary peace treaty was made very soon after the armistice, and that such a treaty could have been made before Christmas of 1918. "All along this has been the re publican conception of what ought to have been- done, but this Is the first official knowledge that Europe wish ed such a procedure and was de terred by us in expediting peace." J. R. Stine and wife, departed this morning for Omaha, where they will attend the wedding of the cousin of Mrs. Stine, Miss Florence McIIale, which will take place this evening at the Dietz Methodist church.
