man Wiley. Brooks Lawrence. head or the Anti Saloon League, sent inquiries to the three candidates for Congress in the Montgomery District. asking them if elected would they vote for law 10 prohibit the shipment of liquors from one State to another. Two of the can didates thought they heard something rumbling and straight-away committed themselves to this proposed law. Hugh Dent refused to promise his influence to the Anti-Saloon League and the peo- ple responded by electing him to Con- gross by a large majority.
 "If we have absolute prohibition. what will be the result? It will be impossible for any of us to get liquors anywhere. That final result Is on their program. Tie things up in Alabama So no one can make or sell wine or other intoxicating liquors and then close all avenues leading to Alabama. This prohibition law and the prohibi- tion amendment are simply steps to make 1t so not only will the people be unable to get liquor within the State but no one will be allowed to order it through the mails. They are following their work here even now with pres sure on Congress to prevent the ship ment of liquors in Alabama
 50 far, the Southern Express Com pany is the only beneficiary or the Alabama prohibition law. The laws have given that company a monopoly In supplying the people of the State with liquors. No other person or firm in the State Is empowered to haul 1t for you.
 "If your mother is sick in the coun- try, you cannot send her a bottle of wine by a neighbor and you are not allowed to hire . drayman to deliver 1t for you. It is against the law for anybody to carry 1t as an accommoda- ton to you and you must tote 1t your self. By no other means than through the Southern Express can you obtain liquor for home use. So far, have not heard that the Southern Express Company is opposed to the prohibition law now In effect in this State.
