committee for Websters draft which
related to the liquor question
Congressman Norris had been
turned down for chairman by a vote

declared that the utmost harmony and

He asked permission to introduce an
amendment to the platform as signed
by the entire committee that relating

clusion if you do not adopt it it bo
comes an issue Your speakers pay
the tide is turning toward democracy
in national issues then make your
fight on them not in defense of the
liquor traffic
Mr Bryan made no comment after
liquor traffic in Nebraska we favor the vote and in answer to questions

by the next session of the legislature proclaimed his fealty to the demo

was among the first two of the com-

i Hitchcock made his motion to re

Mr Bryan asserted that if individual
introduction of platform planks had
been permitted with a speech or
speeches on each one it would have
materially delayed the progress of the
body While they asserted their wil

minority report which he was expect

prohibited any other speech from him

If I have advocate that which is

not aware what a repudiation at your

said that I am making this fight be

could be more untrue
Mr Bryan here referred to the po

clared that he had been fearless when
his own future seemed at stake
Continuing he said I have been
called a dictator for expressing my
opinion Your candidates here today
have expressed their sentiments By
what law am I compelled to remain
silent When I feel that the good
name of my state is at stake
It has been said that I am

passed a republican court had only
declared three unconstitutional He
said the democratic administration

THE PROHIBITIONISTS

say Tuesday about county option in
an official way In several addresses

paraging manner It was called a
half way measure based on practical
politics rather than conviction D B
Gilbert the chairman of the state cen

The speaker then attacked the seat

claring that they were not the choice
of the democrats of the couify
I am not willing to admit that this
Is a final settlement of this ques

moral question I am not afraid to ex
press my opinions and stand on it
if I have to stand alone
Plot to Betray the State
Mr Bryan declared that he had
learned on his return from South
America of the plan to betray Nebras
ka Into the hands of the liquor inter

United States senators and state
