Lincoln, Oct. 28.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Speaking to a crowd of less than 150 people tonight, Secretary of Labor Wilson of the president's cabi- net compared William J. Bryan to John the Baptist and said he was the man who had prepared the way for the great things that had come b reason of the present democrdtic ad- ministragion. This is the fourth attempt that the democrats of Lancaster county have made to draw a crowd at a public meeting. The opener of the campaign, Congressman Hardy of Texas, drew a bare 100 people. Judge Nartoni of Missouri drew less than 150, while Senator Hitchcock had to be content with about fifty. The state committee then sent for a cabinet member, hoping to stir up some enthusiasm, and the result to- night is an indication of the lack of interest in democratic political affairs in this county. Governor Morehedd presided and after John A. Maguire had talked Sec- retary Wilson was introduced and talked for about an hour.

Another Blowant S == LODGE SUPPORTS POSTSCRIPT CHARGE Cites Letter From Professor Containing Breckinridge Statement on Matter. TELLS WHY BRYAN QUIT Somerville, Mass, Oct. 28.—The assertion that President Wilson, at the time the second Lusitania note was sent to Germany, wrote and aft- erward withdrew a postscript inform- ing the German government that the contents of his previous note were not to be interpreted too seriously, was reiterated by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in a political address here tonight. The senator added to his statement the announcement that information on the subject had come to him in a letter from Dr, Charles H. Railey of the Tufts Medical school, in which Henry Breckinridge, formerly assist- ant secretary of war, was quoted as authority for the story of the alleged postscript. Senator Lodge reviewed the send- ing of the Lusitania notes and the resignation of Secretary of State Bryan. He continued: “There was one feature about which there was much speculation at the time, and that was why Mr. Bryan alfowed his name to be ap- pended to a very strong note, couched in the most extreme lan- guage possible to diplomacy, and yet resigned so that he need not affix his signature to the very mild note of June 9, a note which even a man of very strong .pacificist tendencies could not have objected to. Not Same Note. “It was currently reported at that time that the reason for this appar- ently inexplicable action on’ Mr. Bryan’s part was the fact that the first note, as finally sent, was not the note to which he had appended his signature. Within a few days there has come into my possession direct informatioxl upon this subject, contained in the (following _letter, which was addressed to Grafton Cushing, who forwarded it to me. This writer, Dr. Charles H. Bailey, professor in the Tufts Medical school, is a gentleman of high stand- ing and undoubted veracity.’ gcnator Lodge then read the let- ter of Dr. Bailey, dated October 24, as follow: “‘Dear ¢ am submitting to : writing a report of a conversation between - ex-Assistant Secretary of War Breckinridge and myself. Leav- ing San Francisco on July 15, 1916, T rode from that city as far as Omaha with Mr. Breckinridge. Stated Matter Correctly. “During the trip I asked Mr. Breck- inridge if he would be willing to an- swer certain questions with regard to the conduct of our national affairs during his connection with the pres- ent administration. Receiving an af- firmative reply, I asked him, among other things, as to the truth of the published report that, following 4the so-called “strict accountability” note, Secretary Bryan had informed Ambassador Dumba that the central powers need not take the note too seriously, as it was written for politi- r. As you rcqucs;c(I,Al ou herewith in cal effect and home consumption only. He said that in all essential details 1 had stated the matter correctly, which led him, of his own accord, to tell me the following—this is not, of course, a verbatim report, but simply a brief outline of the story as told me by Mr. Breckinridge: “‘He stated that following the completion of the “omit no word or no act” note to the satisfaction of the cabinet, Mr. Wilson, without the knowledge of any member of the cabinet, except Secretary Bryan him- self, wrote a postscript, which he sent with the note to the State department for codification. Mr. Breckinridge stated that both Mr. Garrison and he had seen this postscript and he told mé what he claimed were its ex- act words, which, however, I cannot repeat exactly, but the substance was that the imperial German government was not to put too serious an inter- pretation on the words “omit no word or act.” Signed by Bryan. “‘On the contrary he would be in- clined, provided the German govern- ment did not see fit to yield to the demands of the United States to use his efforts toward submitting the en- tire matter to an impartial interna- tional tribunal, the decision to be made only after the war. Both note and postscript was submitted to and signed by Secretary Bryan. This, ac- cordinF to Mr. Breckinridge, was too good for Mr. Bryan to keep to him- self, with the result that it reached Secretary Garrison's ears, who imme- diately, with two or three (I do not remember which) other members of the cabinet, called upon Mr., Wilson and demanded that he withdraw the postscript under the threat that other- wise they would resign and make the matter public. Mr. Wilson imme- diately yielded and Secretary Gar- rison and the others left. “‘Immediately after this, President Wilson summoned Secretary Bryan to the White House, and when the latter left Presidént Wilson ‘had the assurance of his resignation; whether at Mr. Wilson's request, because Secretary Bryan had been responsible for the matter reaching Secretary Garrison's ears, or whether presented by Secretary Bryan because there had been a previous misunderstanding between Mr, Wilson and Mr. Bryan, that the latter would sign the note proper only with the understanding that such a nullifying postscript should be sent and the president was now unable to fulfill the agreement, Mr. Breckinridge was unable to state. “‘1 asked Mr. Breckinridge if he would be willing to bring such knowledge as he possessed to the active support of Mr. Hughes. He said that he was still at heart a democrat, but that neither he nor any other patriotic American could sug- port Wilson. Whether, however, he would be willing actively to support Hughes, he said he could not say at that early date. “*‘With best wishes for the success of your campaign, 1 am, “‘Sincerely yours, (Signed) “CHARLES HARVEY BAILEY/' “This,” continued Senator Lodge, “simply throws an additional light on the shifty character of this adminis- tration in its foreign policies. It is also of interest in another way, for it apparently shows that Mr. Bryan's reason for resigning was the highly creditable one of objecting to having his signature go out appended to a document differing in an essential point from the one which he had signed.” Siand;'ng oi t;lfier Tééms and Individd;l A From the Spokane Spokesman-Review.

President Ed- ward Betlach of Branch No. 21 was chairman of the evening, and Mr, Rodman was toastmaster. Speakers included Postmaster Fan- ning, Mayor Dahlman, Congressman Lobeck, Judge Estelle, James Wood- ard, William_Motts, Elmer Glass and Patrick McGovern.

G0OD COMEDY IN 18 OBSOLETE LAWS Hitching Posts Must Dot Streets, According to an Ancient Ordinance. QUARANTINE FOR THE OOW By A. R. GROH. Good citizens, have you several hitching posts in front of your house? If you haven't you are disobeying a city ordinance, (Chapter XLII, Sec- tions 1, 2_and 3, Revised City Ordi- nances.) The posts must be not more than four feet in height and not over | six inches in diameter and must be set not less than eleven feet apart. If your street has been curbed you may have hitching rings instead of osts, the rings to be made of half- inch iron and the interior diameter to be not less than two and one-half inches. These also mwust be set not less than eleven feet apart. Think of a street with hitching posts on each side of iit, every four steps! his is only one of the “funny” obsolete ordinances on the law books., There are many others. For instance, you are prohibited from herding your cows in the streets of the city at night. Evidently you may do it in the daytime. Where To Be Drunk, It is unlawful for any person “to be drunk upon the premises of an- other without the consent of the owner or occupant of such premises.” So, be careful to get this pemc; jon before you get drunk on anybody's premises. £ If you are thinking of letting a “bear or other noxious or dangerous animal run at large on the streets,” First Words of do not do it. Oh‘ please do not do Il look at the Res vised Ordinance, Chapter LIV, Sec- tion 23, you will see that you would be liable to a fine of fifty ($50) dol- lars. Please promise me that you won't do it! Do you own a corner lot? Then you are required to flue a sign con- taining the name of the intersecting streets in white letters, two and one- half* inches high on a black back- ground. It is unlawful for “any boy or boys, person or persons to coast or slide down hill in the city with any sled, sleigh, coaster, traveler, toboggan or other like conveyance or device.” You see, not only boys, but also per- sons are forbidden to do this. So beware, if you are either a boy ora person, JEvery orange and banana seller must keep ronuq in a conspicuous place on his fruit stand a printed card bearing the inscription in large letters, “For throwing the rind \or peel of bananas or other fruit on the sidewalks, ten ($10) dollars fine."
