o TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 19, 1920 WETS HAIL COX AS THEIR NEW LEADER Liquor Organ Crows Over Nomination as Victory. BRYAN DEFEAT JDELIGHTS Komlnee Declared to Be Counted On to Use Influence In lull ing 18th Amendment." Ullrl VOTE TABULATION BEGINS OREGONIAV XETVS BUREAU. Washington, Sept. 18. To show that Governor Cox la the candidate of the "wets" for the presidency the last number of the American Issue, offi cial orfran of the American Anti Saloon league, reproduces a flnst page -from Justice, of ficial- organ of the retail and wholesale liquor dealers of New Jersey. Spread across the front pace of Justice is this line.. "Cox Big: 'Wet' Vlotory.' t-. "De stsews ets Outnumber 'Dry 1." A further key to the article which follows Is set forth In an In-' verted pyramid which reads, "Senti ment Indicates Sweeping; Victory for Candidates Opposing: Volstead Law Bryen and Barnacle Beaten Badly--Paiv Lost Golden Opportunity to In eute Victory Organized Trade Ready for Big Fight." The-liquor- organ then says: "The nomination of Governor James II. Cox of Ohio by the democrats as their candidate for president is an out-and-out wet victory for the liberty-loving people of the country who are termed 'the wets.' His elec tion to the presidency of .the Untted States will be the crowing' victory in the people's war against prohibition. Governor Cox is an enemy of prohi bition. He is opposed to its un-American principle. This fact van well known when he was nominated, which makes his triumph the greater. , Weta Coanl Cos Iaflnraee. . . "Governor Cox wen. In spite of the Anti-saloon league and Its menacing influence In the convention, just as he will sweep the country in the elec tion. He can be counted on to use Ms influence when elected to amend the Volrtead law so as to permit manufacture and sale of beer and light wines, and lead the fight to re move the eighteenth amendment from the constitution. "The nomination of Cox sounded the death knel of Bryan. Coming Im mediately after the crushing defeat which Bryan suffered in losing his flBht for a dry plank In the platform. it spells the end of Bryan as a factor In the democratic party. "With the national conventions of the two great political parties over, the people are now prepared for the biggest political fight In the history cf the country. The question of per sonal liberty is the issue at stake in the campaign that is now under way and tne organized liquor trade of the ration in to take an important part In the battle that can only end In victory for their cause. "That a wet congress will be elect ed In November to amend the tyran nical Volstead act is clearly indicated on all sides by the attitude of the public generally on the question of prohibition. The very best proof of tms opposition to the dry law that has yet been given was the vote in the democratic national convention at Ean Francisco. Bryan Called Barnacle. The frenned attempt of William t-yrapejulce' Bryan to insert a dry piana. in tne party platform was beaten down by a vote of 929 to 15SH. Bryan, that barnacle that has thrice wrecked the democratic shin was at last cut loose and allowed to sink In the waters of defeat without dragging with him the craft that he has so long menaced. Bryan, the pro fessional reformer, the charlatan and mountebank, the paid hireling of the bigots and fanatics of th - Anti.Ss. loon League of America, was beaten, and beaten soundly. The vote was nearly nine to one against him. "On the other hand, it is true, the1 convention refused to adopt the wet plank offered by Bourke Cockran of few Tork, but therein comes the comparison which shows the senti ment of delegates representing the people of every state in the union and of our foreign possessions. "The wet plank offered by Mr. Cockran received the votes of S56 del egates, with 726 against it. The wet vote excelled the dry vote by more than two to one, and that is about the ratio that prevails through out the country among partisans on ' the question, with a vast number taking a neutral stand. "However, the demorcats adopted a platform without any mention of pro hibition or the liquor question. Just as the republicans had done a week or so before in Chicago. The nega tive stand of the republicans was expected. As we have previously pointed out. the Anti-Saloon league controls mat party. Dry Held to Fear Democrats. "It is the democratic Dartv that the drys fear. The Anti-Saloon league Knows tnai in a test of strength at, the ballot box national prohibition will be beaten by a vote of more than two to one. Therefore, the league has set out In a vain attempt to keep the question out of the cam paign. The league had the influence In the republican convention to keep the issue out of the platform, but they saw the danger of defeat if the democrats took a wet stand. They heard the sentiment of the people ex pressed Just as you have heard It."

THE ORIGINAL ALL - RECORD PHONOGRAPH WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS Such is The Brunswick, and part of its frame is due to this great innovation. Until the coming of this noted instrument, most phonograph owners had to be content with a one-record instrument. Bruns wick made) this idea out of date. There have been many attempts to equal The Brunswick, but devices and attachments never bring the desired result. The Ultona is part of The Brunswick, in-built. And it plays every record at its best. Another exclusive - feature is the Brunswick Tone Amplifier, built entirely of wood. It has' no cast-metal throat, as is usual. This scientific amplifier, built according to acoustic laws, gives truer, richer tone. - It reveals hitherto lost shadings. Hear The Brunswick before you buy a phonograph. Note its unequaled tone, its superb cabinet work, its many betterments. You will hardly believe all the good things they say about The Brunswick until you yourself hear it.
