DEMOCRATS IN LINE
BEHIND W. J. BRYAN
FOR PROHIBITION
International News Service.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.—The pro
paganda already begun by William
J. Bryun for the adoption of a prohi
bition plank In the democratic plat
form for 1920 as the chief issue of thui
campaign has already borne fruit.
This afternoon democratic senator
lead by Senator Sheppard of Texas
forced an immediate consideration of
a bill which will result in making
the district of Columbia dry.
There was very little open opposi
tion to the bill as apparently no sen
ator wished to go on record ut th.
time as opposed to the bill. Th r
will be a strong fight on the bil
however in the opinion fo many, b •
fore it comes up for final passage.

she surely would if she knew the foots.

of this but the chance exlst3 neverthe
