Again there are some strong men
in the prohibition party who believe
that the Anti-Saloon league has &C
complished so much that it is time
for the party to abandon the field of
political effort and join hands with
the league, which works with either,
both or all parties to accomplish its
ends. The Anti-Saloon leaders all
acknowledge that the prohibition
party is to be given the credit for
sustaining the agitation and spread
ing the propaganda which makes the
leagues success possible. But some
of them believe the Prohibition par
ty as a political organization has out
lived it's usefulness. In this differ
ence of opinion there is food for
factional fight, which may develop
at Columbus.
Exultation over accomplishments
will be a feature of the Columbus
platform. 1t will be pointed out that
there are eight states with Statewide
prohibition Maine, North Dakota,
Kansas, North Carolina, Georgia, AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
The fact that saloons have been abol-
ished for over year at the rate of
thirty a day will be mentioned. The
local option victories in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio will be reviewed. The
attitude of distillers and brewers, as
manifested in the organization of So
cieties to reform the retail liquor
trade, will be described as the panic
of foe which sees defeat ahead.
The Prohibtionists point out that
the most remarkable feature of the
great anti-saloon agitation is the
changed attitude of the press and of
public men toward the movement.
The daily press few years ago was
practically unanimous against the
dry" movement. Now there are
daily newspapers in all parts of the
Union which openly espouse the
cause of prohibition. There is a dis
tinct effort on the part of the anti
saloon press to refute the oft-re-
peated argument that prohibition
hurts business.

ABOUT PROHIBITION.

The possible importance OF the pro-
hibition party in this campaign will
not lie in the presidential race as
much as in the congressional cleo
lions. Eight years ago there were
ten million people of the United
States living in dry territory. Now
there are forty million Americans
who live in places where there are
no saloons and where the sale OF IL
uuor is illegal. The one thing that
makes it difficult to enforce the pro-
hibitory laws in many sections is the
fact that shipments of liquors from
another state are protected by the
federal interstate commerce provls-
ions. The chief aim of the Prohibit
tionists and anti-saloon men now is
to get congress to pass law resign
ing the control over interstate ship
ments of Intoxicating liquors to the
police regulations of the state at the
moment the Shipment enters the boun-
diaries of the state of destination.

Now the plan of the "drys' is to
