A POLITICAL FORECAST

The Commercial-Abbeal of Memphis,
Tenn., forecasts the political situation
is regards the Prohibition party with
'ather narrow margin of fact but
,lenty of interest 1t says:
Here in the South, the Democracy
predominates, but there are many
thousands of Democrats who believe
in Prohibition. In Tennessee the
Democrats at present have safe ma
: jority of about $4,000 Suppose, how
ever, the Prohibitionists should put
out candidate for governor, and that
the Democratic party should be di-
vided. The next governor would in
evitably be Republican, for the Re-
publicans care nothing about Prohibi
ton except as a means of working the
undoing of the Democracy. Similar
issues would be presented in all the
southern states that are not over
whelmingly Democratic.
What will be the result on a ma
tional election? The Prohibitionist
organization expects to get 100000
names signed up to its political pro-
pected to influence one or more per-
sons. If the movement should ma
terialize. and all those who believe in
Prohibition should vote the Prohibi-
ton ticket, then the party may rally
anywhere from 100000 to 100000
votes in the next Presidential election
In this event they would hold the bal
ance of power; and so several south
ern states might be lost to the Demo-
cratic party, and some northern states
might be lost to the Republicans,
The Prohibitionist literature indi-
Gates that the Prohibitionists are tired
of playing second fiddle They be-
lieve that they have an issue second
only in Importance to that of slavery.
They declare their purpose of pushing
it to finish. They want their own.

THE DEMO-REPO-RUM
PARTY

The Louisville Evening Post sums up
the teaching of current events in Ken
lucky regarding the liquor traffic, as
follows:
The present condition of politics in
Louisville and at Frankfort shows con-
clusively that regulation, as we know
it, does not regulate; that the whisky
trade is strong enough in the Repub-
lican organization to nullify the Re-
publican platform, and strong enough
in the Democrat to prevent the Sena :
torial nominee from getting the party
vote.

They don't intend to be swallowed up
by the old parties.
What will be the result? If Hoke
Smith is nominated for President by
the Prohibitionists, he will necessar-
lily have to leave the Democratic party.
Conner of Alabama, Noel of Missis-
sippi and other Prohibitionists will
have to follow suit, or antagonize Pro-
hibition. Carmack of Tennessee may
be forced to make a choice.
Rather an interesting situation, isn't
it?

1t costs $500, 500, and in some places
$1,000 or more to get license to sell
liquor. Young manhood and young wo-
manhood really must be of great value
in this country of ours where it costs
these sums of money to sell Intoxicating
drink. 1t seems to me like putting hu-
mainly on the bargain counter and SELL
ing the boys and girls dirt cheap

CONTRADICTS LILLEY

Washington, March 31.-The in vestigation of the Electric Boat Co was resumed this morning, the off, cials of the boat company for whom subpoenas had been issued, being present. MT Lilley requested that Admiral Capps be recalled and all his questions be propounded in the order in which the admiral had pre- pared them.

He further suggested that such experts be put under oath to make a thorough investigation and accu- rate report as basis upon which alone the committee will be able to fully investigate the witnesses (offi- cials of the company, when placed upon the stand.

The memorandum said that the Electric Boat Co did not want anything but fair show. According to the witness Mir Lilley said that it was fair proposition.

 Never" he replied. He related a conversation he had with MT Lil- ley in January, 1908, when he said Mir Lilley expressed willingness to support Secretary Metcalf's demands for four of the submarine vessels. He said he had conferred with two manufacturers in his state, Frank lyn Taylor, of Waterbury and Mir Ferry of Bridgeport, concerning sub marine legislation.
