"Keplying to your telegram, my rec

AV. .1. Bryan furnished the second

more stringent or liberalized so as to
permit the use of light wines nnd beer.
Arising to protest. Mr Bryan said Doe
tor Uosewater should be denied the right
to speak, because he represented not
the interest!! ngalnst alcoholism, but
the Interests of nlcoholism.
"Doctor uosewater represents a gov
ernor who stands almost alone as tho
outspoken representative of the lintior
Interests." Mr. Bryan said. "Why
doesn't the Legislature of New Jersey
help enforce the law? There nre men in
New Jersey running for. Congress, who
promised in advance to violate their
oath of office if they are e'eoted. Wo
are not asking the liquor interests for
advice on how to enforce the eighteenth
amendment.
"We will not stand for any modifi

intention to wage wnr on the conven

Liberals Favor Move
In the same connection there has
been a growing ngitation among liberals
in national politics for the abolishment
of both the national convention nnd
tho electoral college, thus bringing
presidential candiates in direct contact
with electors and making nominations
and elections alike an expression of
popular will. It has boon pointed out
that twice in the country's history
presidential candidates, have carried the
country by popular vote, but failed to
win n majority of the electoral col
lege. These were Tilden in 1S7I1 nnd
Cleveland in ISS. each of whom re
ceived ii nlurnlit of the popular vole.
Discussing the proposal to nominate
candidates bv direct primnrj. Repre
sentative Kelly said:
"We are using nineteenth century
political machinery to meet twentieth
Iceutury conditions, if wo nre to really
have government by tho people we must
provide methods bv which the people
may directly nominate their candidates
for President and Vice President of
the United States. The convention
system has served its time and has
pnwn rusty nnd worthies.. It is
time ,now to develop new machinery,
for if the people cannot select their
own candidates, us well as elert them,
we might as well frankly admit that
wo cannot govern ourselves and crown
a king in Washington.
"I linvrt nrimnroH mv hill nftni- (.ti,.lt

the nomination of candidates for tho

nature and teaches us tn appreciate the
lovolv fruits and plants which a gen
erous Pather has placed within our
reach for our enjoyment and delight.
But the festival Is rich alo in his
torical mid spiritdnl lessons.
"When we dwell for a week in our
Stieonhs those of us who ore fortunate
enough to have them we nre reminded
Hint Ood caused our uncestors tn dwell
in booths in the desert, wliero He pro
tected and guarded them. Bv leaving
our secure dwellings nnd living for tlie
time being in these frail structures we
nre taught thnt (lod is our real protec
tor as we journey through the wilder
ness of life, that our mortal bodies are
ns weak as tho Succali, exposed to all
the buffeting of the elements, thnt our
fine houses will avail us nothing if the
protecting hand of God Is withdrawn
from us.
"Tho Lulab nnd Kthrog nlso have
their lessons. Whv have these been
chosen? The citron yields food and fra
grance; the lulab fond but no fra
granee; the myrtle fragrance nnd nn
food while the humble willow has
nothing. Yet all are used together in
the servire of God. Ho many of us
have special gifts. Some have powers
of speech or song! others have artistic
talent : others, again, have busines
capacity; and yet others may not be
specially gifted, but all can work in
the service of God and of their fellow
