Message of Hope
For Deriiocrats
Given by Bryan
-
five Mediums uuumeu dv
Which He Says Control
Can Be Wrested From
Republican Party.
Columbui, O., May 24. William
J. Bryan brought a message of hope
and chfer to members of the Jeffer
son club at their picnic Monday.
' "If any one can preach the gospel
of hope, it is the man who has been
resurrected so many times thai death
seems commonplace," he said, in
reference to his appearance.
Leading up to his subject, "Democ
. racy's Opportunity," Mr. Bryan men
! tioned five mediums-through which
1 the democratic party might, rise to
success, ne named them as, a na
! tional bulletin for the dissemination
of unbiased political news atid'jariy
opinions, "prohibition, ' reduction of
taxes, proper aligning of mo'nopblfes
and disarmament ' as a feature' "of
world peace.
"The most crying need js 'the
maintenance of unpolluted channels
of information so that the public
may know whar is going on at Wash
ington," he said. ,' .
Mr. Bryan suggested a, tentative,
plan for his proposed national bul
letin and added:
"We want a daily paper to be is
sued by the government whose news
columns shall be nonpartisan, but
whose editorials shall be bipartisan."
On the issue of prohibition Mr.
Bryan said: ,
"The democratic party can riot
avoid the part it has had in bringing
prohibition. I am proud of its part.
But I am not proud of the part it has
played in Ohio." ' .
Discussing , monopolies, he said
that where there was any excuse for
the existence of one, it should be
taken over by the government.
Plutocracy, he said, was the breeding
place for revolution.
Mr. Bryan's chief hopes for the
.. future of the democratic party lie in
the matter of taxation, he said. And
it is true, he said, that he expected
to see a new party leader arise. ...

She wore the regulation khaki
breeches, o. d. shirt, walking shoes
and her curly hair bobbed.
In all the large cities she stops
and visits factories and industrial
plants, and at. one place descended
into a coal tnlne to satisfy her crav
ing for knowledge.
The trip to her is purely educa

Davis Slain and
Thrown in River,
Is New Theory
Wife Confident Husband Mur
dered Broken Glass Found
on Bank of Elkhorn
Link in Case.
Grand Island, Neb., May 24.
After two hours' interview between
Sheriff McCutchan and County At
torney Suhc and Mrs. Aaron
"Wingy" Davis, whose car w
driven into a country lane and lett
there Sunday morning, no doubt re
mained in the minds of either .liat
Davis had been murdered and hi l
body disposed of somewhere be
tween here and Omaha. -
Mrs. Davis was positive in he
statement here, though it conflicts
with statements made Omaha pa
pers, that the motive was to get
Davis out of the way for "knowina
too much." She says she had one
car confiscated for alleged framed-up
dope-delivering escapade, namine a
former showman, Anderson, and an
unnamed negro government official
as the men who induced hiin to get
the drug for Anderson. She said
Davis trial was postponed from Sat-
uiday to today. She positively iden
tified the car as her husbands and
was very anxious to reeain oosses-
sion of it, but the sheriff emphatically
declined the proposal. On the -vy
out, per automobile, Mrs. Davis and
party said, they noticed some broken
glass at this end of the bridge over
the Elkhorn.
Parts of the broken windshield
glass were taken along to compare
as to thickness with the glass at the
bridge. It is a possible theory that
it was there that Davis' murdciers
slew him and threw the body in the
river. County Attorney Suhr is
quite convinced that all has not as
yet been told and that the motive
was not robbery.'
Intimate acquaintances of "Wingie"
Davis told Omaha detectives today
they believe "Wingie" is still alive.
Detectives Danbaum and Pzan
owski, who have been working on
the case, maintain the opinion
"Wingie" has been killed by some
one who was a victim of a "double-cross."

HELP YOURSELF CLUB
That is our candid opinion of it. Why is it that so many of
the present members are not getting down to "brass tacks" and
making-a running that will give them an opportunity to secure
one of the big awards?
One would think that with the offer of a high grade motor
car for a couple of weeks' endeavor, they would be flooding the
office with subscriptions and loading up with votes.
That $1,625.00 Overland Sedan will pay its owner at the rate
of $500.00 a week. Many of the other awards, at a larger rate.
Has anybody offered jtou a better job? Just three weeks of work
and a classy little boat of your own. Well, some folks don't know
a good thing when they see it.
A whole lot of opportunity is going to waste out through
those sections of the states of Nebraska and Iowa covered by The
Bee. Many have been the instances where the residents have
wanted The Bee, but have never been, solicited for their subscrip
tions. And most of these are in sections where there is no active
member of the Help. Yourself Club. The folks had rather have
The Bee than any other paper, but have had the idea that The
Bee did not reach them.
Queer
Ihmg
Somebody could get to work in those territories and swing
1 an awfully big vote.
Who can't get subscriptions to The Bee? 'One young lady
doubted it. She knew the awards were worth going after, so she
decided to try it. A very little time gave her several. She is now
an enthusiastic member of the Help Yourself Club.
Don't you suppose that other folks know as well as you the
improvement made in The Bee in the past year. They know as
well as you that The Bee is the best paper in Nebraska.
What if a person is taking another paper? Get them to give
you a subscription to the best paper, The Bee, to start when their
present subscription to the other paper ends. Just mark such a
subscription on your remittance sheet, "Paper to begin delivery
on (Date).
Look at the value of the list of awards. . This is no "piker"
or cheap affair. It is the opportunity of "live ones." The money .
value of these awards is the largest offered in this community.
1921 will reward fighters. t
