nounces to it's readers that it has definitely de-
cided to support the Prohibition issue in the
fight now on, to drive the liquor traffic out of its
last strongholds in this state, and that it has
cancelled all its advertising contracts calling
for the insertion of liquor advertising. This
announcement is made in an editorial which
reads:
This community is facing a momentous issue
Lines being sharply drawn, and the conflict
will wax hot and hotter as time progresses
The good people of Chattanooga are determined
to drive liquor from the state. With them the
Star has shouldered arms, and cost what it
may we will keep up the fight until victory is
assured. This step is not taken hastily. Every
aspect of the case has been gone over, and it is
Our deliberate judgment that Prohibition is right
and that he who stands with the best people
of this community cannot be wrong. We go
into this contest filled with the ardor and
thusiasm of conviction All of our strength
and all of resources staked with the
people and against the saloon. If we know this
community, the good people in it predominant

NASHVILLE Tenn, March 14-(Special cor
respondence) To-day the Temtesseean published
in this city, makes the announcement that it has
decided to support the Prohibition movement
and that it will hereafter discontinue all liquor
advertising. The editorial in which the
nouncement is made reads as follows:
The Temnesseeam recognizes Prohibition as
momentous state and national issue.
1t believes that the time has come when the
people of Tennessee must answer this question
Shall the state of Tennessee continue longer i'll
partnership with the saloon interests by giving
them legal existence?
The Temnesseean believes that there is but
wide Prohibition
Holding this view, and in order to be thor
oughly consistent in it, the Tennesseean will
print no more liquor advertisements.
This policy is adopted for two reasons:
First, to show a sincere belief in the
of Prohibitions; and, second, to play fair with
the liquor interests.
AS we hereafter mean to do our best to pre-
vent their doing business in this state, we are
not wiling to accept their money and at the
same time endeavor TO drive them out.
For the TenneSSeean is unreservedly against
the liquor traffic.
