. THE 'ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30, 1920. COL. BRYAN DISCUSSES POLITICAL SITUATION AS IT EXISTS TODAY x Reviews the Part He Has Flayed In the Various Presi dentdal Campaigns and Gives Some Sidelights on Pres ent Day Possibilities Commoner Was Here Yesterday. Col. William Jennings Bryan, fresh from a speaking tour of several days in the south, was in Asnevme yester day and last night for a few hours, visiting his son and family at their home In Grove park. Col. Bryan left during the evening for Miami, where he will Join Mrs. Bryan for. several In an Interview regarding the pub lic men and democratic candidates he criticised.' Col. Bryan also took occa sion te place himself in .the list of those who are not seeking the demo cratic nomination for President. His statement is as follows: "My criticism of Edwards and Cummlngs has brought upon me the charge that I am making a whole sale a,ttack on publlo men with a view of being a candidate myself. "First, as to the attack on candi dates. It Is now thirty years since I entered congress -and nearly twenty-four yearn since my first nomi nation for1 the presidency. My po litical actMUea. therfore, cover nearly a quarter of a century. Dur ing that time I have criticised only a few men and have seldom answered criticism, although I have been the recipient of as much crltlcsm as any other man In public life. My fight has always been for principles and I have only mentioned men when they assume a position which made them a menace to what I believed to be the public ' Interest . "I criticised President Cleveland, not personally, but because ' of his attitude on the money question, and In that view I had the support of the democratic party, which refused to Indorse his second administra tion. "" ' i ilwMHi "I opposed the nomination of Judge Parker lnl908. It was not a per sonal criticism, but opposition to the forces behind him. He was nomi nated and defeated, falling a mil lion and a euarter behind the demo cratic vote in both the preceding and succeeding campaigns. "In 1912.1 opposed Judge Parker for chairman of the Baltimore con ventton. It was not a personal crlt iclsm, but I felt that his attitude on Dublin auestlons and his political rec' ord made him an unfit man to sound the keynote of a progressive conven tion. "In that 'convention I changed from Clark to Wilson because New York was attempting to select the candi- date. I did not criticise Mr. Clark. I stated when I voted for Wilson that I could change my vote from him to some other candidate if New York voted for him. This ought to be sufficient proof that it was not. a personal opposition to Clark. . "I believed then and still believe that the candidate of the Baltimore convention, whoever he might have been, would have been defeated if New York, had been permitted to se lect him. In the present campaign Governor Edwards is the omy canal date I have criticised and my crlt iclsm of him Is not personal. .1 do not know the man and have been able to form no opinion of hint per sonally. I oppose him because of what he stands for and I did not say anything against his candidacy, until after he filed In Nebraska, my own state. Am I offending against the proprieties when I express an .opin ion against the availability of a can didate who comes Into my own state and asks for Instructions at a pri mary T "In the case of other candidates I have simply inquired as to their po sition on public questions and defer red discussion of them until they an nounced their views. 1 "Edwards' Views Known." "But Governor Edwards' views are known. He lives in one of the three states that have not ratified the pro hibition amendment He is a wet, a soaking wet--not personally, for I do not Know whether he is a total abstainer or a drinker, but he is against prohibition, and that means he is In favor of bringing saloons back to the United States. The pa pers have quoted him as promising Atlantic ocean, and' since the cam paign he has announced his intention of preventing the enforcement of the amendment In his state If possible. "Can any democrat be Indifferent to the Injection of such a candidacy into our campaign T Three-fourths of the democratic senators voted for submitting the prohibition amend ment and more than three-fourths of the democratic members of the house voted for it Every democratic state ratified it It Is an Insult- to the democratic party for any man to ask It to defy the conscience of the Unit ed States and the expressed wlslles of the party and make Itself the champion of an outlawed business. "I criticised Chairman Cummlngs not personally but because as a democratic official he attended Gov ernor Edwards' coming-out party and gave respectability to the Edwards' boom. "So much for my attacks on pub lic men. Now for the second propo sition. Do I aot like a candidate? Candidates are very careful not to disturb the harmony of the party or to arouse opposition. A. candidate usually sits on a stool and looks pleasant so that everybody will like him, hence it Is necessary that some men in publlo life shall be tree to speak for the public without being afraid of hurting themselves. No other democrat la under so great an obligation as I am to speak: out on men and on policies, because no oth er democrat has received such favors as I have. No other democrat now living has carried the party standard in three campaigns or enjoyed the confidence of so many democrats for so long a time. The Press. "Nobody is in a better - position than I am to speak out against any man whose candidacy threatens the country's welfare and against any principle or policy which seems hos tile to the country's interests, i have so many enemies that a few more don't count And I have been in politics long enough to , expect abuse from two sources ''First from the papers that open ly champion the predatory Inter ests.: . '-'Second, from those papers less courageous that promptly attack any public man who criticizes the preda tory Interests. "The first class represents the big dog that does the fighting, and the second class represents the , little dogs that do the best they can to help the predatory Interests without running any unnecessary risks. Just now the liquor traffic is the greatest as well as the most contemptible of the predatory Interests, and the friends of prohibition have to 'meet the abuse of the open champions of the tramo and also vlillncatlon at the hands of that part of the press which does not dare to support open ly the liquor business, but is bold enough to vllllfy anyone who at tempts to protect society from it' HOBIE WILL ALLOWED PROBATED BY CLERK 6coond Will of Elisabeth I 'Noble Is Matter of Contention Between Number of Ixgatces. Hearing of the petition asking that the second will of Elizabeth L. Noble be probated in solemn form was con ducted here yesetrday morning be fore John H.

Several points of law are involved In the litigation and brilliant legal talent was arrayed on both sides, but Clerk Cathey held that he had Juris diction over the matter since evi dence was Introduced at the hear ing and that there was nothing In this case for him to act upon but to decide whether or not the will should be probated in solemn form. The question of the sanity of Elisa beth I Noble, he states, would bo one for the Jury and not one to be decided In allowing the will to be probated. Also the question of the residence of the maker of the will at the time It was drafted will be one for the Jury.
