Jaaue Statement.
Tha following tatement wa given
to the pre today hy tha new bu

"A etrong fight to ecur the elec
tion of congrealonal candidate who
are In favor of modifying the Vol

"Definite plana to aeciire tha elec

completed by tb organization, and
the campaign already begun in the

that will be made to aecure the elec

tha names of 202 senatorial and con

great political pnrtlc. All are re
gorded by the association aa having
taken a stand acceptable to Us views.
Many are now in congress, and the re
election of these will not serve to swell
the wet element In the national legis
lature. Mr. Hinckley figures, how
ever, that If succeaa attends the vigor
ous campaign that la being prosecuted
by his organization, the runks of the
wets In congress will be Increased by
70 to 75 over tho present number,
"In some, instances, the list con-Lto
tain the names of both republican

Hinckley explained, It Is tbe intention
of the association to maintain an Im
partial attitude as between auch
rivals, although tha organization la In
clined to lean to the liberal candidate
already In congress.
Patterns After "Drys."
"In general, the association baa
stolen a leaf from the taotlca of the
Anti-Saloon league In ita campaign
plans, and according to lta officials,
confidently looka for an even greater
degree of success to follow, once the
'liberal' candidate la assured of vigor
ous and unremitting support along

trict, tweked up by similar support

Bryan Betrayed

Speaker Charges
Ex-Preeident of Temperance
Organization Apologizes for
Democratic Orator's Parti
san Speech at Convention.
Lincoln, Oct. 17. (Special Tele
gram.) W. J. Bryan wa flatly and
distinctly accused of betraying a
tfuat by Mrs. Mamie M. Claflln, for
mer president of the W. C. T. U.,
last night when fhe rose before the
state convention to apologize for
Bryan's partisan apeech in behalf of
Hitchcock at tho afternoon session.
A motion wa carried giving ap
proval to Mra. Claflln's remarks.
Mrs. Claflin anld that she made the
apology because she felt it was due
to thone who heard with pain, sur
prise and tllsappolnlmcnt what Mr.
Bryan had said. She said that the
Invitation had been extended to
Bryan a year ago, and at a time when
hla attitude toward Hitchcock had not
changed. When the committee
heard of hla championship of Hitch
cock It did not want to recall the in
vitation because of what Bryan had
lone In the past for the cause of pro
hibition.
Promise Violated.
A promise, however, had been ex
acted from him that he would conllne
his speech to organization and that
he would not tulle partisan politics.
This promise whs fully and freely
made, and was repeated by him und
by the democratic state central com
mittee for him within the week. She
Gld that those who heard him at the
afternoon sesclon espouse the candi-
liicy of a man from whom no mem-
ier of the organization had even se-
ured a satisfactory reply to letters
know now that promise had been vio
lated.
She said she wax benu-lf surprised
and dismayed.
If Hitchcock . had
beel converted aim March. 1920, when
he ran on h wine and beer platform,
the women were entitled to know
when. I.v. r since 19U he had con- j
" .oiir.. .-...-,,.-. . (
Washington on prohibition, and had
constantly refused the appeals of men j
women, even of hla own party, to I
giva ear or helping hand.

Woman Hurls Self
Out Second-Story
Hospital Window
Deaf and Blind Mute Believes
Hushand Untrue and Leaps
to Death From Coun
ty Building.
Believed to be Jeuloua of her hus
band, even though she never had
seen him, never hud heard him speak,
and never had spoken to him, Mrs,
Diana .Moore, E0, 20JJ North Twenty
first street, deaf and blind mute,
leaped to death Monday, night from a
second story window of the county
hospital.
Moore himself Is deaf and mute.
The strange story of the wife',
love was revealed In a report
made by James Allen, Investigator, to
his chief, County Attorney Shotwel!
Shows Jealousy. -
Mrs. Moore appears to have be
come obsessed with the Idea that her
husband was muklng love to other
women." Allen reported after a vis
it to the hospital.
"At times she would become so In
slslent that nurses would lead her
Into the women's ward and let her
feel her way from nook to nook, ever
seeking her mate. She never found
him In auch a predicament, but her
imagination played on.
"In the evening when Moore was
permitted to visit his wife It was a
touching scene. She. deaf, dumb and
blind, would sit there In the darken
ing dusk and hold his hand lovingly,
perfectly content, and he would re
turn her caresses. When the hour
for parting came, Mra. Moore would
cling to her husband, fling her arma
around his neck and display, at tlmea,
such violent objections to hla leaving
that it would become necessary to
lock her forcibly In a cell."
Body J-'niind.
Monday night Mis. Moore again be
gan imagining her huaband waa pay
ing uttention to other women, Al
lcii'a revort showed. She groped her
way to a window, and waa dead when
hospital attendants picked up the
laxly from the ground two stories be
low. The Moores were sent to the ho,
pital eil.t months ago by order of
