'. (By Special Leased Wire)
Washington, Sept. 6. William Jenn-
. lngt. Bryan earn to Washington yester
. day and every newspaper man and
politician, both Democratic and' Repub
lican, went to the Hotel Lafayette to
-..-ask him if he were going to take the
tump for Cos. Not since Governor
Cos waa here in July, bee there been
such a jam of politicians in a Wah
ington hotel to talk to a man who said
after the San Francisco convention that
hia "heart waa in the grave." And the
Commoner la still silent ai the grave
oa- the question that everyone wa
' eager to have him aniwer. Bepublicana
smiled but Democrats consoled tham-
elvee that while Bryan is not working
for1 the ticket he will not aay anything
to hurt it. Ha will not rock the boat
that he will remain In. -
But Mr. Bryan is not an idle man
In fact he ia working aa hard in this
campaign as if he wer a candidate
himself. He is engaged in the task of
pledging candidates for the Senate and
Congress, irrespective of politics to
uphold the Volstead act The champion
of the "drya" is leading a fight against
a nation-wide movement of the wets
to repeal the Volstead act aad the
18th. amendment to the Constitution.
He pointed vt that the battle for pro
hibition is being fought over and must
again be won or all will be lost.
Movement Makes Headway
Is more than a doxeu states, among
them Mew York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia a newly organised
movement called the Association Against
the Prohibition amendm- t is enlisting
'; members by the thousands. Thf move
. meat Is using the endless chain method
sad its slogan is to drive every dry out
of Cougress. It is reported to have made
great headwsy ia Maryland, Mew Jersey
aad West Virginia. Ia Maryland alone it
reports the enrollment of members st
the rate of 12,000 per month. It has
opened offices in the Munsey build
ing in Washington and ia using the
mails by the endless thnin plan to get
in touch with persons in sympathcr
with its aims which are first to repeal
the Volstead law.
Mr. Bryan in his failure to get
plank ia the Democratic platform at
San Francisco npholding the Volstead
act after the' Republicans had dodged
' prohibition at Chicago, knew that the
enemies of prohibition would revive
the battle and if they were not met
in this campaign they would yet defeat
the cause that he has labored so long
to carry to final success. f .
.That he indicated was why he had
come to Washington at this stage of the
campaign to make a general survey of
the situation. He said he was intent
upon securing ' a Congress irrespective
of party and strong enough to over
ride the veto of a president who might
oppose the effort to sustsin the Vol
stead act. Mr. Bryan said he would go
further. He would endeavor to elect
a' Congress that would impeach aay
president, Democratic or Republican,
, who would violate his oath in his fail
ure to enforce prohibition.
Still Good Democrat
Mr. Bryan dearly indicated that he
was as good a Democrat aa ever but
that prohibition had a higher claim on
him than party and that whea a Demo
' era tie candidate for Congress was "wet"
snd the Bepublicaa "dry' his opposi
tion to the Democrat would be inex
orablo. He would neither give aor ask
any quarter from such a Democrat.
It is understood that the Democratic
executive committee has not and will
not ask Mr. Bryan to take the stump
for Governor Coz. Chairman White
has been saying that Bryan could be
depended on to do tthe .right thing at'
the right time. Senator Pat Harrison
whs has charge of the speakers' earn
; paiga for the Democrats' and who was
in Washington today did not call on
Mr. Bryan. Republicans are disposed
to try to make some capital out of the
. fact but Democrats are not disturbed.
