swertng Wilam J. Bryan’s latest at-
eck on him by declaring that per-

tion of prohibition and not merely
' the abinty of one to set a drink.
Goverpor Edgards Wednesday night
tmsued a statement intimating that
Bryan’s “hysteries" about prohibi-
tion was simply a mask to cover
an attack on Democratic National
Chairman Cumming, who. the Gov-
ernor aald. waa a "formidable ob-
stacle” to the Nebraskan’s polk leal
deaigna
Mr. Edwards reiterated his eter-
ruination to take the matter of pro-
hibition before the Democratic na-
tional convention.
“If it be true," Governor Edwards
said, "that the remote places - and
the wilderness are able to send
enougrh delegates to this convention,
who either blindly or stubbornly will
eject from the convention those who
denire for ench btate a doctrine of
personal liberty, then this i8 only
another indication of the path alone
which the Democratic party la to
tread in the November elections”
The Governor said the question at
Iue was whether the people were
ao dead to the spirit of the om-
stitution that they weuld allow ebeir
Poronal liberty to be taken from
them.
