CHICAGO, III.—William Jennings
Bryan is hopeful of seeing prohibition
the paramount issue in the campaign
of 1920, but as to when national pro
hibition is to be realized, he ventures
no guess. He observed to a writer
that no public man with regard for his
reputation would attempt to estimate
some things. Nor did Mr. Bryan ap
pear to be of the opinion held by some
other prominent prohibitionists, for in
stance former Gov. J. Frank Hanly,
the prohibition party’s presidential
candidate, that woman suffrage must
come before national prohibition can
be secured. While not putting forth
any definite view of the natter, he
pointed out that there were more pro
hibition states, by considerable, than
suffrage states, and that prohibition
had scored a great victory in the last
election, while suffrage had met sev
eral defeats. Then he said:
“There are certain rules that govern
in politics, as in other things. One
is that you work for what you want
and take what you can get. It is not J
always possible to select. Circum
stances have a large influence* in de
termining what you are to get. I shall
advocate both national prohibition and
national woman suffrage, advocating
prohibition and suffrage in every
state in which it is possible to get
state action, but I would not refuse
to accept one merely because the
other could not be secured at the same:
time.
“I think prohibition will be the;
paramount issue in 1920, unless sub
mitted before that time, which is en
tirely possible. The prohibition wave
has received a great impetus from the
last election, and no one can say defi
nitely what is possible. I want the

democratic party to line up on the dry
side. As a democrat I shall do my
part to bring about this result. At
the same time I hope the republicans
will get to work to make their party
dry. The rivalry will be helpful to
the cause. The nonpartisan organiza
tions can in the meantime be working
outside of both parties and I have
no doubt they will encourage the activ
ities of both dry democrats and dry
republicans.”
At a meeting of the Dry Chicago
federation, an organization of social
service and religious organizations
banded together to drive the saloon
from Chicago, Mr. Bryan dwelt at
length on the rapidity of the sweep of
the prohibition movement. “We are
passing through a wonderful time,”
he declared. “The change of senti
ment is very marked. I’ve changed
myself. Twenty-six years ago I voted
against prohibition myself. We didn’t
tlnyi have the WebB-Kenyon act and
evidence of making the law effective.”
Mr. Bryan explained that he stood then
for “adjusting the law to the com
munity” and went on to say that he
found it couldn’t be done with the
saloon and prohibition.
“The two arguments,” continued
Mr. Bryan, “winning the fight for pro
hibition are the economic and the
moral argument. I never like to make
an economic argument—that is, to
try to persuade a man because it will
pay him to do this. But we have to use
the weapons we have at . hand and
alcohol does not pay. I believe we
are in a position now with the facts
at our disposal to convince the people
who used to be against us.
“I’m a sanguine man—a man has
to be sanguine to go through what
I’ve gone through and yet be cheer
ful—and yet I want to tell you that
this thing is moving faster than I ex
pected it. I began in Nebraska six
years ago on county option. I went
to Omaha and couldn’t find anybody
to introduce me. I hired a hall. It
was a small hall and it wasn’t filled,
and Douglas county wasn’t to be
affected by any local option law." The
Nebraskan then told of the very differ
ent reception when he went back to
Omaha to speak for prohibition this
fall. “We have been doing a wonder
ful work and why? Because the peo
ple are taking hold of these two argu
ments. The Old World also has
helped us.
“There are some people who think
this nation is in danger from with
out. I havn’t a fear of it. I think
there is less chance of this than in
50 years. But if there is any of you
who thinks there is danger I’ll join
,vith you in urging a preparedness that
is valuable even if it turns out there I
is no need, and that is to drive alcohol i
out so that if the call comes, every j
man will be found to measure up to:
the standard for his country.”

LIFE OF SCOTCH
NOBLEMAN
ESMONT, Va., Dec. 2.—Here he is |
at last, getting all ready to be married
in January.
Sir Genille Cave—Browne-Cave, the
itinerant nobleman-janitor-soldier-cow |
boy-sailor-fortune hunter and sky pi- <
lot, has won and will wed Miss Flor
ence Boltwood in this little valUy
village of the Blue Ridge hills, it was i
announced today.
After his checkered, not to say
Scotch plaid career, Sir G. C.-B.-C. got
religion from his job as janitor of a!
Salvation Army hall in Manhattan,
came here*among the hills, met Miss'
Boltwood and started in to build a:
church and a romance, both of which
are now about complete.
This man with two excavations and
a color for a name, and the 12th bar-;
onet of his line, ran away from his
home in Leicester, England, when he
was 1!!. He has since sailed the seven
seas, fought insurrections in Egypt in
which he was wounded and captured
by natives, fought London money
lenders, killed big game in India, wan
dered through the Orient, lost a for
tune in San Francisco, dug ditches in
Kansas City, was a cowboy in Texas,
Oklahoma anad Wyoming and became
famous as a broncho buster at fron
tier exhibitions, returned to England
fought the money-lenders again, then
hurried back to New York. So matri
mony holds no terrors for him.
It was on that return to New York
that his Sir-ship announced that he
wanted a wife.
“She may look as she pleases if
she has the tin,” said he. “I’ll bar
none under 70.” Getting no applica
tions, he took tickets in a movie
theatre, then turned janitor and got
religion.
The moonshiners here fought his
church idea, but the Rev. Mr. Cave
Browne-Cave built it and won them j
over. He and his bride are coming to
New York for their honeymoon. He
