EFFORT TO DEFEAT
THE SPREAD OF
PROHIBITION
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Mar. 1.-THE Liberty
League, organized and backed by the
liquor interests, is in readiness to
make desperate effort to annihilate
the Anti-Saloon League and to turn
back the prohibition wave sweeping
over the south.
The announcement is made of the
completion of the organization of the
league and the claim is made for it
that since October a general body
has been organized in every state in
the union. Its membership in Illi-
nois is said to include 100000 men.
The headquarters of the organiza-
tion is in Chicago, and sub-headquar-
ters are maintained in New York, At
lanta. Ca, Louisville. KY, st. Louis,
Denver, Seattle and San Francisco.
The body is secret and the names
of the officers are guarded with great
care. The states are organized by
local lodges or chapters, in which
the membership is oath-bound as to
policies and methods of procedure.
