*
Secretary Bryan Wednesday night
made public a letter he had written
* to L. W. Kennlngton, Democratic na
tional committeeman from Iowa, ex
pressing the hope that Iowa Demo
crats would take a stand for prohibi
tion and vote against officials who
oould be controlled by the liquor in
terests.
In a statement given out with the
letter, Mr. Bryan said he hoped to see
the Democratic pcrty take the prohi
bition side wherever the question was
raised, and that if the liquor interests
insisted on making on issue in the
election of a national committeeman,
the people opposed to the liquor traf
fle could not afford to ignore it.
“I do not know to what extent the
liquor question qrill bo an issue in the
campaign next year,” Mr. Bryan add
ed. “At the present lime It does not
seem probable that It will find a place
in tiie platform of either the Demo
cratic or tho Republican party, but
there is no reacon why the national
committeemen ohould not represent
the sentiment of the party on this
subjoct as on other subjects.”
Mr. Kennlngton had written Mr.
Bryan that his name was being used
in behalf of a candidate for the na
tional committee.
In his letter to Mr. Kennlngton Mr.
Bryan said:
“The legislature of Iowa has voted
statutory prohibition, and has also
submitted to the people a prohibition
amendment to the constitution. It
becomes necessary, therefore, for the
voters of low* to net upon the liquor
question, both in choosing another
legislature and in voting upon the
amendment submitted. The Demo
crats of Iowa, constituting a consid
erable portion of the voting popula
tion, must take action upon this sub
ject, both In the nomination and elec
tion of legislators, and also directly
as they vote upon the prohibition
amendment.
“I take it for granted that the
Democratic party will act upon the
subject in its state and local conven
tions, and even if it doen not. the in
dividual action taken by the members
of the organisation will, to a greater
or less extent, commit the party on
this subject and thus affect the par
ty's strength in the state.
“It is proper that the national com
mitteeman should represent the atti
tude of the party on this question; in
fact, the liquor interests have already
ruled out one good man because he is
‘dry.’ The only way in which the sen
timent of tho party can be made evi
dent In advance of a convention or an
election is for each person to vote as
he thinks, if he acts as an individual,
or as his constituents think, if he acts
as a representative.
“The liquor question Is a moral
question, and our party's hope of suc
cess in the state of Iowa for years to
come will, in my judgment, depend
upon the manner In wt^ich It meets
this question and the pocitlon It takes
upon it.
“If I were & citizen of Iowa I
would make my opinion on the sub
ject manifest by casting whatever in
fluence I have In favor of tho selec
tion of officials who would not be con
trolled by. or under obligations to,
the liquor interests, but would be pos
itively and definitely committed to
the home as against the saloon. The
brewer, the distiller and the saloon
keeper are In conspiracy against all
that is pure in society, in all that is
sacred iq the family—against all that
is good in Industry and desirable in
government. I do not mean to say
that every brewer, every distiller or
every saloon keeper is consciously
conspiring, but the business in which
these men are engaged is the enemy
of progress and civilization, and they
are not in position to oppose the in
fluences that dominate it. Those who
represent the liquor interests are con
scienceless in thoir methods; they de
bauch the individuals through whom
they act and any party to which they
dictate. The Democratic party can
only hope for success when it gives
expression to high ideals and makes
itself the champion of the noblest
principles and the best policies.
“Whenever a moral question is
raised, therefore, there is but one
side to it, unless the party is willing
to sell its soul for a support which
can not be accepted even temporarily
without the forfeiture of public re
spect.
“It does not matter mush what
particular individual is.chosen as na
tional committeeman, but it matters
a great deal, whether, he stands on
the moral or immoral side of the line
that separates the forces that are
soon to engage in political battle in
Iowa. It Oronld be better to take an
obscure than who is right on the li
quor question than a well known man
who is wrong on the liquor (fuestion,
for an unknown man erases to be un
known when he becomes the expo
nent of a righteous cause—he bor
rows strength from his cause; whete-
as, Individual strength and influence
dwindle Into nothingness under th&
blight of an unholy alliance with an
imijaoral cause. 1 - \
“If, therefore, anybody asks you
my opinion, you may say that in say

candidate for n~tiongl committeeman
I am for the dry can didst*, and that

BATTLE IN PROGRESS
CARRANZA AND VILLA LOCK
HORNS WITH BIG ARMIES.
Statement
State Department Issui
on General Condition of the Mexi-
Sltuatlon.
BATTLESCQNTINUE
FIGHTING TAKES PLACE IN THE
BAST AND THE WEST.
ACTIVE AT DARDANELLES
A dlspetch from Washington Wed
nesday said a battle with 40,000
troop* engaged which may be e deci
sive action in tho war between the
Carranza and Villa factions in Mexico
is In progress, or impending near Ira-
puato, in the state of Guanajuato.
State department dispatches dated
April 5 said the fight would take
place soon. That was construed to
mean Villa had assembled a force ten
strong enough to meet Gen. Obre- troops day
gon’s army and was moving south
from Torreon along the National rail
way.
Obregon was last reported at Que-
retaro and was said to have sent a
column against Sam Luis Potosi,
while he protected Us march with a
second column, and a third column
under Gen. Hill moved toward More
lia, capital of Michoacan.
Obregon is understood by officials
to have 20,00(1. men and it Is said
Villa has gathered an equal number.
Irapuato la the Junction of the Mexi
can Central and the National railwaps
toward which Obregon’s forces are
advancing.
The state department Issued this
summary of the situation: "The de
partment Is Informed that Gen. Villa
has announced that If hs is success
ful In defeating the forces of Gen. Ob
regon south of Iraquato he will im
mediately open the lines of communi
cation to Mexico City. The depart
ment’s advices indicate that should
the forces of Gen. Carranza be defeat
ed In this expected engagement his
important strongholds will be Vera
Crus, Tampico and Matamoras.”
Advices to the Carranza agency
said the Cai*ranza gunbot Guerrero
reached Guaymaa Monday night and
her commander notified foreigners to
leaves as he intended to open a bom
bardment. Mohs in Guaymas and
HermoslUo, the agency statement
added, were looting bustaess houses.
The agency also reported that Gen.
Maptorena failed to check Carranza
troops marching from both north and
south and was defeated at Navajo
Sharp fighting continues at Ebapo,
near Tampico.
The element supporting Gen. Gut-
tierez as provisional president made
public at Washington the papers glv
ing the appointment by Gwttlerez of
Jose Vasconcelos as special envoy at
Washington, and the statement pre
sented by Vanconcelos to Secretary
Bryan on March 24.
The statement reviews Mexican af
fairs from the time of Huerta's with
drawal and maintains that Gultterez
Is the regularly chosen provisional
president by virtue of the Augus-
calientes convention. The Guitterres
seat of government is said to be es
tabllshed at Doctor Arroyo, Nuevo
Leon, from which place the state
ment aapk Guitterres “la directing af
fairs and nas under hts command a
considerable army.” It adds:
"President Gultterrez will at the
first opportunity reassemble the con
vention of Aguoacallentes, and before
that legal body he will offer to resign
his power, in order to leave the con
vention free to elect as president any
man who may answr to the necessi
ties and rights of all the Mexican peo
ple.”

“Notwithstanding u
being urged In behalf of one candi
date that I favored his selection.
When this was brought to my atten
tion. I felt that if my opinion was de
sired, It ought to be given to all, and
that the reason s for that opinion
should be stated so that the Demo
crats of Iowa would know what
weight, if any to give to it.
“The prohibition question Is an is
sue In Iowa and this fact Is so clearly
understood by the liquor forces that
one of the leaders of the wet element
of the Democratic party In Iowa ob
jected to a very excellent man on the
ground that he belonged to the drys.
“If the liquor interests insist upon
making the question an issue in the
selection of a national committeeman,
those opposed to the liquor traffic can
not well ignore the issue. As a mat
ter of fact, the liquor question now
being before the people of Iowa, It
could not be ignored in the selection
of party officials no matter which side
desires to Ignore It.
“I do not know to what extent the
liquor question will be an issue in the
campaign next year. At the present
time it does not seem probable that it
will find a place In the platform of
either the Democratic or the Republi
can party, but there is no reason why
the netional committeeman should
not represent the sentiment of the
party on this subject as on other sub
jects.
“Prohibition is not an issue In all
the states, but wherever It is an Issue,
I hope to see the Democratic party
take the prohibition side.
"It can not ally Itself with the li
quor interests without losing its
moral standing and the moral stand-
leg of a party is the thiag that gives
it permanent strength. A surrender
to vice or immorality seldom gives
even if temporary advantage could be
secured by such a course It would be
at the expense of the permanent wel-
fare.of the party. It is not only right
for a party to take the moral side of a
question, but It pays to do so.”

Paris reports Wednesday: I
and Serbia are about to conclude an
agreement, says the Excelsior’s Rome
correspondent, on the following-ha
sis:
“Italy will not oppose Serbia’s oc
cupation of territory giving her an
outlet to the Adriatic on condition
that t^is territory be not fortified
The question of Trieste and Istria has
not even been discussed, the allies
having recognized the Italian charac
ter of these localities.
“If this agreement Is signed this
week as expected,” the correspondent
says, "the entry of Italy into the war
may be considered imminent."
Rome reports Wednesday: The
Trlbuna thinks the attack by Bulga
rian irregulars on Serbian guards
must have displeased the triple en
tente powers, but that Bulgaria ap
parently is negotiating with the allies
at the same time that she is main
talning intimate relations with Aus
tria and Germany.
Bulgaria, looking for a realization
of the provisions of the treaty of San
Stefano, the Tribuna declares, "is
playing a most audlcious game, which
may cause all sorts of surprises.”
The treaty of San Stefano, signed
In 1878 at the end of the Russo-Turk-
ish war, provided that a pricipality of
Bulgaria was to be created extending
from the Danube to the Aegean. The
provisions of the treaty, however, lat
er, were greatly altered by the con
gress of Berlin.
Ijcmdon reports Wednesday: The
military situation in the Carpathians
is competing with the prohibition
question in the interest af the British
announcement of meas
ures for drastic restrictions on con
sumption of liquors was expected to
follow soon «after a cabinet meeting.
Total prohibition was not expected.
In the Carpathian conflict, which
is the most important military action
now in progress, the Russians are
now bringing up heavy reinforce
ments to push their attack, the suc
cess of which is expected only
through weight of numbers. The
Austro-Gerinan commanders also are
making strenuous efforts to strength
en their forces.
Petrograd reports that the section
near the Uzsok pass where Vienna ad
mits a retirement extends for a dis
tance of seventeen miles.
Vienna, however, claims a epunter
offensive near Lupkow pass and says
the Austrians took several Russian
positions and 7,000 prisoners. A con
servative Interpretation of both the
Russian And the Austrian • reports
leads to the belief that the Russians'
offensive at Lupkow has been check
ed .but that they have forced their
way through the Rostok pose, captur
ing two villages on the southern side

Along Frontier.
Hostilities between Servian troops
and Bulgarian irregulars have broken
out along the border. An official
statement issued at Nish, Servia, as
forwarded to the Havas agency says
that the Bulgarians overwhelmed the
Servian frontier guards Saturday and
occupied Servian territory. The stater
men follows:
“Last night about 2 a. m. Bulga
rian irregulars wearing military uni
forms attacked in large numbers our
outposts at Valndovo. Our frontier
guards, overwhelmed by superior
nuntbers, were forced to give ground
and retreated in the direction of the
railway station at Strumitza.
“At 5 a. m. the, Bulgarians occu
pied all the heights on the left bank
of the Vardar. The losses on both
sides were serious.
“Wounded soldiers state that the
Bulgarian bands manoeuvred and
fougfyt under the direction of Bulga
rian officers. The number of troops
engaged was slightly more than a
regiment-
“Neighboring frontier posts imme
diately sent reinforcements. The re
sult of the battle still is unknown
and details are lacking.”
An official dispatch from Ghev-
gheli, Servia, to Salonikl, forwarded
by the Havas agency, says the Bul
garian bands are, reported to have
captured from the Servian frontier
guards two cannon, with which they
bombarded the railway station at
Strumitza. Railway and telegraph
communications were cut. After
heavy fighting, this message says the
Bulgarians were repulsed and fled,
closely pursued by Servian troops.
