DECLARES WHEELER
Columbus, O., Nov. 3.?Wayne B.
Wheeler, legislative superintendent
and general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, tonight issued
a statement in which he asserted
that reports on congressional
elections from 40 states show that a
substantial majority of both ; house
and senate are against any beer and
wine amendment."
Wheeler's statement follows:
"This election gives reassured
proof that the people are back of
tne letn amendment ana its enforcement.
The reports received
from 40 state3 show that a substantial
majority of both house and senate
are against any beer and wine
amendment.
"This does not mean that the wets
will quit fighting or that the drys
can afford to relax their activities.
The next thing on the program is
the passage of effective state enforcement."
PUT HARDING IN
OFFICE AT ONC1
Says Wilson Should Quit, Marsha
Go in, Name Harding as Secretary,
Then Resign.
Chicago, Nov. 4.?President-elec
Warren G. Harding should becom
President as soon as possible, Pres
dent Wilson's resignation and Hare
ing's appointment as Secretary o
State by Vice President Marshall, fo
lowed by Marshall's resignation i
turn, should accomplish this, accorc
ing to a statement made here Thurj
day by William Jennings Bryan.
"Mr. Wilson should resign at once,
Bryan said. "Then Mr. Marshall, a
soon as Congress convenes, shoul
name Mr. Harding Secretary of Stat
and himself resign so that Mr. Hare
ing may become President at th
earliest possible moment, and canthrough
a definite plan of peace."
Bryan was to speak in Oak Par
Thursday evening.
Party Not Blamed.
Declaring the Republican landslid
just accomplished "was not a resul
of Democratic, but of Wilson pol
cies," the Commoner said Presider
Wilson can not afford to delay th
restoration of peace.
"Mr. Harding," Bryan said, "ca
not refuse to assume the duties a
once to which the American peopl
have called him by an unprecedente
majority."
Bryan declared he knew nothing c
a proposed meeting lu leuigomis
the Democratic Party, but said h
believed such reorganization woul
follow naturally from "this unprec*
dented defeat."
The Commoner, in his statemen
said the Democratic Party was force
to go into the fight under false bar
ners.
Blames Wets, Too.
"The convention at San Francisco
he said, "did not represent the ran
and file of the party. The drys wei
lulled to sleep by the assurances thf
the liquor question was dead an
while they slept the wets were bus
sowing tares. The result of the can
paign ought to make it certain tha

there will never again be a wet bunc
E in our convention willing to chang

II and the ten commandments for

Bryan concluded his statement t
voicing the belief that the result <
:t the election was not a vote of conl
e dence for the Republican Party but
i- refutation and a "protest" again:
[- Democratic leadership.
if "The vote against the Democrat
[. Party," Bryan said, "was cast weel
