J. Bryan told three Omaha audiences yesterday that if he is not needed in the democratic conven tion at San Francisco as a delegate, he will be in the gallery for the avowed purpose of saving his party from impending ruin by the liquor interests. Although all three were rciigious meetings, one in a church, Bryan found opportunity to discuss political issues. He addressed a gathering of men in the Young Men's Christian asso ciation auditorium at 4 p. in., and a meeting of young women in the Young Women's Christian associa tion auditorium at 5:.W, appearing in the evening in the pulpit of Grace Nff tlioflit church. South Side. The talks to men in the afternoon and to a mixed company in the evening, were ' substantially the same, the first part being of a rciigious and nioraltone and the latter part being a rather denatured campaign appeal which had a direct relation to the local democratic wet and dry im broglio. Don't Deserve Disgrace. "My party does not deserve the disgrace that has been' brought on it by Jliesc candidate who are, running, on a wet platform," he said. "And yit they call me a disturber of the peace and they say. I am going to li-'in Francisco to raise a row. I am like the boy who was chided by his mother for pulling the cat's tail. -The boy replied that he was only holding to the feline's tail and that it was the tat that was pulling." . Mr. Bryan took his text from the gospel of Luke, 19th chanter, relat ing the story of the 1ft lepers who HERRYW.DSnn Former Chief of Police Republican Candidate For Police Magistrate Well Qualified for the Place Primaries April 20, 1920 Poles Open 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.

He asserted that there are many people today who, like the nine ungrateful who were cured in the days of old, are un grateful today for the, blessings of education,, Christianity and of the free institutions of this country. He extended his thought to apply to the primary which will be held tomor row, declaring that it would be the part of gratitude to vote for those who represent the "dry" issues. He said he wondered how many appre ciate what it has cost to win the vic tory which may be lost tomorrow at the primary. "He" Butt of Attack. . Then he referred to a "mysterious Omaha man whom he designated as "He." "I won't mention his name, but our only difference is that of per cent," Mr. Bryan continued. "I'll .state my per cent, but he won't state his. We could get together if we could agree on per cent. My per cent is one part of alcohol to 199 parts of water and his per cent is 199 parts of alcohol to one part of water. The gentleman I refer Jo knows as much alcohol s I dp, not .from personal experience, but because there has been a wealth of observation available in Omaha just as there has been in Lincoln. He would bring alcohol back again, but, so help me God, there will ne'ver be another drunkard in Nebraska or in the United States if I can help it. "We have a great fight on hand. Xo republican has had the effront ery to run for the presidency on a wet platform and I congratulate the republican party. My party has three candidates running on a wet plat form. Claims Many Victories. "I have won out on every great fight because I have been on the right side,", he added. "Don't worry this time.

Primary April 20, 1920 through a window and now they are trying to push me out through a window. The liquor forces of this nation are trying to keep me from going to the San Francisco conven tion." Mr. Bryan's inference was that those who are grateful for what he has done to make Nebraska dry, will vote, for his national convention delegation tomorrow, and those who are ungrateful will vote the .other war. lie expressed confidence that there are more prateful than un grateful people in Nebraska and that most Nebraskan s are not akin to the nine lepers who were cured, and then went away witlinut giving thanks for their restoration. Pioneer Theatrical Man Dies in County Hospital Charles Flbrea, 66 years old, 'a resident of Omaha since 1859, died Sunday mormng at the county hos pital, where he had been a sufferer from paralysis for many months. He had a wide acquaintance and many friends among theatrical and circus people. The fur.eral will he held Monday afternoon at 2 at the Hulsc & Reapin undertaking establishment.

' , The Mystery of the $1,550 worth of Liberty bonds which were lost yesterday by W. A. Kenastan, a wealthy stockman, of Wewala, S. D., in the Merchants hotel was solved late yesterday afternoon. Kenastan reported the loss to the police and Detectives Troby aud Potach began an investigation. He told the sleuths he had taken the bonds out of his grip and was check ing up to learn if any were missing. He left the room and when he re turned the Jonds were gone. "Looks like an inside job to me," Detective Troby said to his partner, Potach, as they left the hotel. Two hours later Kenaston called Chief of Detectives John T. Dunn, and informed him he had found the bonds. He explained that he had forgot ten he laid the bonds on a chair in o. i a o 06 hi PS J VOTE FOR C. G. CARLBERG, Republican Candidate for State Senate NEWS ITEM The Gcnpraf Managrrr of the Water Board, who takes over management of Gas Plant under city ownership, has requested City Coun. oil to make provision to pay off $1,000,000 of Ka bonds each five years. He states that under city ownership rate should be $1.35. ,1 stand for Dollar Gas, knowing that it is a possibility by virtue of the purchase of the Gaa Plant by the city of Omaha. Occupation taxes and general taxes now paid by the Gas Com pany, as well as the annual dividends paid to its stockholders, will be eliminated under municipal ownership. However, if it is the intention of the general manager to pay off $1)000,000 in debtedness each five years, we will not get Dollar gas. , It is a gross injustice to saddle the entire cost of this plant on this generation in order to present the next generation with a debt free Gas Plant. We are entitled to Dollar gas NOW. There is no justice in paying $1.35 for gas in order that we may be generous to posterity. If the repayment of the Gas Bonds is spread over a period of fifty years we will get Dollar gas im mediately, but if we are to pay for the plant in fifteen years we will have to pay more for gas than w did under private ownership. If nominated and elected to the State Senate I pledge my self to promote legislation that will insure Dollar Gas NOW. I earnestly solicit your support at the primaries, April 20. C. G.

The ministers of state hare decided that the date when the European war' terminated must be regarded as January 10, 1920, so far as contracts arc con cerned. , But so far as Spain was concerned, the ministers agreed, the state of war between the United States and Germany, and between the allies and Germany still con tinued. The question of the termination of the war arose through the number of court suits with reference to con tracts, the judges being unable to deliver decisions until an official declaration concerning the termina tion was made.

I I n r n rx -W(QXQ)P FOR PRESIDENT In a recent political advertisement I saw this: "Will you vote for Wood of New Hamshire, Johnson of Cali fornia, or Pershing of Nebraska?" . Well, if you want an answer, I will VOTE for WOOD wherever he is from. In this country it does not matter so much where a man is from, if he is a thoroughbred American, as where he is going and what he is going to do when he gets there. We are not provincials. Wood is an outstanding, red-blooded American a man of vitality and action. He is a statesman an administrator a diplomat a manager of men and affairs, with an unusual knowledge of world problems. His experience at home and abroad will make him an invaluable man in dealing with European nations and handling home and foreign problems. WOOD is not primarily a military man. He was ed ucated as a business man and physician. He entered the army a doctor, came into military prominence in the Spanish.American war as colonel of the "Rough Riders," being associated with that other tall Ameri can, Theodore Roosevelt. Following the war he did a masterful piece of work bringing order out of chaos in Cuba and the Philippines. WOOD will not b an experiment. He has always made good. We need just such a man as president of this republic in the critical times that are just before This is no time to play horse. Nebraska will command the confidence and respect of the nation if she goes for Wood. If anyone v;int 1" know who pays for this ad, will say it is the umlerMKiu'd. lie is putting this in without, the aid. knowledge or consent of any otlirr person on earth. The politicians have noth ing to do ith this. J. R. GKTTYS.
