Pledges Support in Causo of Water
As he reached his peroration, Mr.
Bryan turned tp the table beside him
and from ft raised a glass of water
high above his head. His voice took
on something of the old silvery qual
ity as ho cried:
"The world is aroused to the men
ace of strong drink. War has been
declared against it in every civilized
land, and these is no neutral ground.
I call you to the colors, to the stand
ard raised by the National Abstainers
union for Health and Homo and
Humanity!
"Rise! Let us pledge our support
to the, cause in water in water, the
daily need of every living thing. It
ascends from- the seas, obedient to
the summons of the sun, and, de
scending, showers blessings uon the
earth. It gives beauty to the fragrant
flowers; its alchemy transmutes base
clay into golden grata; it te the can
vas upon which the finger of the In-
0 finite traces the radiant rainbow of
promise.
"It is the dririk that refreshes and"
adds ' no .sorrow with it. Jehovah
looked upon it at creation's dawn and
said! 'It is good.' "
'When the nieeting'closed there was
a real stampede for the platfprm.
No effort availed to keep in. ljne those
who wanted Mr. Bryan's attesting
signature to their' cards. High school
boys crowded about the smiling sec
retary as 'he "'wrote and wrote and
wrote liis name. Women arid girls
' elbowed men oit of their way as they
'cldsfed iri on him.
'Four fountain pens, and pencils
beybnd counting were broken fn Mr.
Bryanvs effort to accommodate thotie
who came. He kept at it until he
had to Tun for his train. In an hour's
time he feigned' perhaps '750 cards;

BRYAN AND THE WORLD'S
' PEACE
Medford (Oregon) Daily Tribune
The Washington dispatches relate
that the South American republics
have all agreed to adopt the plan of
Mr. Bryan regarding international,
' affaifs. When Mr. Bryan first madq
public this scheme it was received
with hoots pf derision by the repub
lican press. Doubtless they were
chagrined because the plan had not
been put forth by some representa
tive of plutocracy. As treaty after
treaty was negotiated along the line
of Mr. Bryan's proposal with several
of the lesser nations the ridicule con
tinued. Then came the awful eruption in
Europe, involving half the world. The
horrible carnage of the world-wide
war seems to have silenced both the
knave and fool critics of Bryan's
noble effort. No longer do we hear
of the flitllity of the attempt to stop
international murder. The example
before us is too staggering. Amid the
conflict of nations Mr. Bryan has
" gone steadily, forward to the accom
plishment of what will be the grand
est work of any citizen of the earth
since Thomas Jefferson wrote in the
declaration of independence the max
im, "that all men are created equal,"
When the European nations have
completed their saturnalia of blood,
the undeceived peoples who escape
the slaughter will embrace this bene
ficent plan that will free the world
from the blood lust forever. When
this is done, the name of William
Jennings Bryan will be imperishable
written in the history of the world
and civilization; while he will still be
traduced by the capitalistic press of
this country, because it knows no
ideals, Jives without morajs and
would sacrifice even the lives of Its
citizens to its one only vision, its
only hope, its dream, its god the
almighty dollar.
CAN'T COUNT ON CALAMITY
Nowhere so completely, so brazen
ly, as in this state have the whole
fortunes of a party been staked upon
this single card; nowhere have re
publican loaders gambled so reck
lessly as at Albany.
But now thero Is every sign that
one of the elomonts on which tho re
publican leaders in this state relied
is rapidly disappearing. So far as
man can now foresee, wo shall not
havo hard times to malco republican
votes In 19 1C. On tho contrary, ther
is a plain promise that by that tlm
a nleasuro of prosperity unexampled
in a decade will havo returned to this
country. Ono of tho main reliances
of republican leadership will have
gone glimmering. New York Trlb

The 1915 Cartercar Model "9"
. Model. "9". .Cartercar has every important' fea
ture that has characterized tho other Cartercar
Models.
In addition to these, Model "9" has many added
improvements both Jn construction, performance
and equipment.
One change was to step down the gear ratio
to 4 to 1.
The result is greater leverage when one of tho
many low speeds is in use on a bad road or going
up a steep hill.
This new .feature also permits much greater
latltudo in the higher speeds. "You cdn obtain
greater effort from the gearless transmission than
ever before.
Think of the luxury of operating a car without
a thought of danger of stripping gears. Absent
also is the noisy clutch.
Instead you have just the steady, smooth, pow
erful, impossible to break, gearless transmission.
Combine these advantages with tho improved
motor, the Delco electric equipment, the bcw
streamline body and tho extra comfort feature
which are a part of the '-Nine" and you ha,ve
car satisfying under any conditions. 4
