BRYAN DECLARES AGAINST DAHLMAN 'Peerless One' Declines to Sup port Democratic Nominee for Governor DUTY OUTRANKS FRIENDSHIP Claims 'Cowboy Mayor's' Stand on Liquor Question Casts * Odium on the Party . (Assnctated Prmrt LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. ; 20.—1n a statement ln which he declares tho crusade which he feels impelled to wage against the liquor interests of the state and nation overshadows a personal and political friendship of twenty years, William J. Bryan this evening announced he had bolted the head of the Democratic state ticket in Nebraska and would not support James C. Dahlman for governor. Mr. Bryan said he regrets that he is compelled to take the stand ho dues —his first, departure from political reg ularity—but says he feels it his jlaty to do so because of the posltton'taken by the Democratic nominee on the liquor question. aw The statement, which in a way Is apologetic in tone, does not indicate that Mr. Bryan will support the can didate of any other party, but an nounces he is a pronounced advocate of county option and the early saloon closing law, both of which, he Insists, are menaced by Mr. Dahlman's candi dacy. The statement follows: "I am Just leaving for Missouri, and shall be absent practically all of the time for about a month campaigning in Missouri, Kansas, lowa, 'Indiana and Illinois. After that I shall be at lib erty to speak for Mr. Hitchcock, the Democratic candidate for congress, and for the state ticket in Nebraska. ks-;«;i:ki's POSITION. "In speaking for the state ticket, however, I shall not be able to present any arguments In favor of the election of Mr. Dahlman. His position on the liquor question makes that impossible. I regret this exceedingly, for he has .been a political and personal friend for twenty years, and it would give me pleasure to speak for him, If I could Indorse the policy for which he stands, but he has chosen to make the liquor question the paramount issue and make his appeal on that issue. "In spite of the fact that the last Democratic state convention voted down a declaration against county op tion by a vote of 638 to 202, he says that he will veto a county option bill if passed, and In spite of the fact that the state convention indorsed the 8 o'clock closing law by a vote of 710 to 163, he announces he will sign a bill repealing It if such a bill is passed. COMMKNI>B COURAGE "He is making his appeal on non partisan lines, with the liquor question as the sole Issue. His courage is to be commended. It Is an honest way of snaking a campaign, although lt com pels him to separate himself from friends who do not agree with him and to rely for speech making on those Democrats and Republicans who take his view of the subject. "If Mr. Dahlman is elected, it will be a declaration of the voters of the state against county option and against the 8 o'clock closing law. If he is defeat ed it will be a declaration in favor of county- option and the 8 o'clock closing law. "In other words, the voters now have an opportunity to decide whether the state shall go backward or forward on the liquor question. "To present arguments in favor of going backward would not only con tradict what I have always said on the subject, but would embarrass me in the flght that I expect to make hero after to save our party from the odium of being the representative of liquor Interests." DAHLMAN HURLS DEFIANCE AT INTENTION OF BRYAN Democratic Candidate for Gov ernor of Nebraska Angered OMAHA, Sept, 20.—Mayor James C. Dahlman, Democratic ! candidate for governor, tonight hurled defiance at William J. Bryan, who gave out a statement that he would not support the mayor in his gubernatorial cam- paign. The mayor's statement follows: "Mr.' Bryan and I have been co-workers and friends, politically and personal, for 20 years, and during that time I have never wavered at any point along tno line when his enemies assailed him, nor when he was candidate for office. "The position I take on the liquor question is purely Democratic and fol lows the spirit of Democratic principles, •which stand at all times for liberty and self-government. The party has al ways stood for personal liberty, and that is why I am a Democrat. "The Slocum liquor law of our state has been an the statute books for 30 years. It gives each city, town and vil lage the right to to vote saloons in or out, which means local self-govern ment. County option, which Mr. Bryan is advocating, enlarges the unit and takes from the people the right of local self-government. "Mr. Bryan and his friends try to make it appear that this ls a brewery fight. The prlntary election Just held in Nebraska has demonstrated that the people of our state have rallied to my support and given me the nomination regardless' of politics, because they are opposed to sumptuary laws. "I regret exceedingly that Mr. Bryan and myself must part company for a short time, at least. When the votes are counted November 8, Mr. Bryan, the county optlonlsts and all of tho people who are trying to force sump tuary laws on the citizens of this state will find out they have got hold of the .wrong end of a redhot poker, because we will give them the biggest . trimming which has been given in this or any other state In several decades."

POLICE NEVER GRAFT IN GERMANY, SAYS DR. NATHAN Honest in Habit 6 and Live on Their Own Salaries NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Grafting by tho police is unknown ln Germany, ac cording to Dr. Paul Nathan, represen tative of the liberals in the Berlin city council. Dr. .Nathan is now in New York on his way to attend the Inter national Prison congress in Washing ton next month. "It is impossible to bribe our police," he said In response to a question. "Of ficers of the Berlin police force never take money to protect vice. I have never heard of a policeman being pros ecuted for grafting. Though their sal ary is as nothing compared with that given patrolmen In New York. It is sufficient for them to live comfortably, and they are honest. Perhaps It Is all a matter of habit. Our policemen, then, are honest by habit. Perhaps some of them in your country acquire other habits. "Gambling? Hazardsplele, you mean? It would not bo allowed in Germany. If persons play the police interfere. Tho punishment meted out makes them so fearful that they never en gage ln the practice again."

Immediately the Southern Paciflo appealed to the courts to have the com mission's ruling reversed.

Domestic cot ton ginners have won an Important victory here in the board of United States appraisers, which has Just de cided that so-called "patches" for cov ering cotton, are not subject to the high rate of duty recently- enacted by the treasury department. The board also denies the conten tion of the government that the sten ciling of a single name or word on cotton bales constitutes "printing within the meaning of the latter word, as used in the tariff act. The merchandise involved in the test case consists of jute bagging, 30x54 inches in dimensions, imported for use in patches to cover holes in cotton bales produced by sampling the cot ton. The collector of customs at New Or leans returned the merchandise for duty at the rate of .45 per cent, as "woven fabrics of vegetable fiber." The Importers' claim was for duty' at 6-10 of 1 . cent per square yard of bagging. This condition the board sustains. The New Orleans collector was re versed. He contended the merchan dise was taken out of the provisions claimed by the importers on the ground that the patches were "print ed" although the printing consisted of but a single word on each patch. The board holds the stenciling is only for Identification. ECZEMA ON HANOS FOR TEN YEARS —.— Were Raw All Over—Was Spreading to Body and Limbs—Usea Cuti cura and was Cured —Also Cured Daughter's Eczema. —i —• "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first It would break out only in winter, t'-fhen It finally came to stay. 1 had three good doctors to do all they could but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuti cura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolv ent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, Inside and out, and the eczema was spreading J all over my body and limbs. • Before 1 had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, together with the Cuti cura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. I had a good appetite and was fleshier than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but, to get Cuticura and get well. My hands, cured by the use of Cuticura, have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. I cannot'recommend Cuticura highly enough, lt has done me and my family so much good. My daughter's hands this sum mer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and It always proved successful. I recommend lt to any one with eczema. After once using It you will never use anvthlng else. Mrs. M. fi.
