he AntiSaoon League in glttering generaties trying
o undermine the confidence of the people in this organi
alton it is well for constituents to know what ou
enemies think and say about when they get together
At the recent National Liquor League Convention helc
n Washington Mr.. Thomas M. Gilmore, of Louisville
Iy conspicuous leader of the liquor forces expressed
himself very freely about the AntSaloon League AS
whisky man he feels bound to insist that the leaders
he League are sincere but he pays tribute to thu
que s power and efficiency that is quite gratifying
lie said
81 never thought back in 1880, when we had a
movement that was composed Of bodies known the
National Protective Association, organized in Chi
cago in 1886 which is still in existence never
thought that movement very dangerous to our
trade although had prohibition elections in Mich
igan, Tennessee, Texas Arkansas and in good
many other states, because it not very well
ganized. 1t was really what light be called wave
of hysteria.
But when the Anti-Saloon League organ
led after had watched it for several months, be-
heved it was dangerous movement because it was
organized better than our trade organized; be-
cause there was one organization instead of great
many organizations, we have in our trade; be-
cause it was organized by men who had ambition
Thinks We Are Not in Earnest
q do not think they had any ambition to bring
about prohibition | do not think the Anti-Saoon
League is in earnest | think it is blanket move
ment, but they have certain ideas in view. There
were big prizes they after; monetary or other
WISE do not know, but they certainly were after
big prizes These men are not working for nothing.
That movement drew in lot of intelligence, and
was not only organized but it was directed by very
intelligent and able men.
''Back five six years ago. whenever we had
national convention of the wholesale liquor trade,
presumed to refer to that organization and to call
attention to it as a dangerous movement; as one
that we could not afford to ignore; that to
large extent we could afford to initiate, and, if pos
sible dsarm; that could not fire many shots at
us if they did not have ammunition, and it has fired
a lot of them at us, and it has whipped us in lot
of fights local and state and whipped us because in
a great many respects trade not well armed,
and the Anti-Saloon League was well armed; be-
cause it had with it what should have had with

realized that it very great and very danger
movement and for number Of years | tried to
get your National Wholesalers organization to start
counter movement said the people of this coun-
try, whether right wrong, ripe for reform.
Now, let us start reform movement. Let agree
with this great conservative element that does not
believe in prohibition that it is possible to do what
you say you want done; let us start movement for
absolute obedience to law because, | said, if you
will do that it will give news value to all that you
say to all that our side says it will put in line
with the Law and Order Leagues Of this country; it
will put us in line with the press of this country;
and, instead of these tremendous forces opposing
trade, they will favor trade, and oppose the
Anti-Saoon League, because am satisfied the great
newspapers of this country do not want any prohi-
bton.''
In Unity Is Strength
When he comes, little later on to addressing himself
to the question of unity of purpose exemped in the
leadership of the Anti-Saloon League, he says:
''They say that Cromwe's army de
feated because Cromwell had the power to inspire
all of his men solid unit; that there was not a
single man in the ranks that did not understand
what Cromwell meant-what Cromwell stood for;
there was not man that not inspired, and there
not weak link in his chain and when the army
OF ten thousand men marched against the average
army Of forty thousand they broke them all to
pieces. Now, the Anti-Saloon League has got
organization, one inspiration, idea set Of
IDEAS and fixed resolve, and they always fgur-
ing way ahead on each state, and all know just what
they are doing
Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed!
''The Anti-Saloon League methods, if followed with
vgor will bring the ultimate overthrow of the liquor
traffic and establish prohibition in state and nation. .
