SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-Since the
organization OF the California State Pro-
tective association the officers and trus-
tees have been bssieged by politicians
both large and small, who are endeav-
oring to use their influence TO further
the ends Of the liquor men. but it seems
that the liquor men have no use for the
politicians.
President James P. Edof said today:
"It 10 the religious societies that have
brought the liquor men into politics and
not the liquor men. Our aim, instead
of going into politics, is iust the oppo-
site. No member can use the organiza.
tion to further his personal ends. Tho
position we are in under existing laws
is not right from purely bueineas
stand point. In any county in this state
the supervisors can change the license
and for that reason there 10 absolutely
no stability about the business. The
organization hopes to have five thousand
