Has Support Of Germans.
1t is expected by the Sons OF
/ Washington that all forces who are
opposed to the present form Of
statewide prohibition will unite to
secure the adoption of this proposed
amendment to the state constitution
/ In the German-American Society of
which Col. Henry A. Braun of Guth-
! rie is the president, the Sons of
/ Washington has its most able aid
The members of the German organ
/ ization number well into the thous-
ands, and as a rule they are prom
inent in the communities where they
reside. Mr.. Braun was for many
wears an important factor in Ger
nan circles in st. Louis, prior to
locating in Oklahoma eight years
ago.
In framing an amendment which
they desire to adopt, the opponents
of prohibition have drawn the regu.
lations which they propose shall
govern, as strict as possible in or.
der to enlist the support of many
voters, who otherwise would Der
haps, be against open saloons. Dur
ing territorial days in old Oklahoma
the saloon men had things about
their way, and it was, in fact. such
a situation that had much TO do
with the coming Of prohibition when
statehood was inaugurated. The sa.
Icon men themselves say that the
system followed during the :errito
rial days was to blame in good part
for the big temperance victory.
The general factor to overcome al
the polls will be the farmer. As a
rule the government land in cd
Oklahoma was homesteaded by farm
ers from Kansas and in the south
ern part of the state from Texas
The Kansas and the Texas farmers
as a rule, are prohibitionists and
it is believed the farmers of the
state will vote almost unanimously
to continue prohibition. The Sons
of Washington must secure their
votes from the larger cities of the
state, and whether or not Suffi
cient number can be secured is the
) biggest question. Both Gen. Thread
) gill and Cardwell are optimistic. how
ever, and believe the amendment
will carry.
1t is argued in favor of the amend
ment that under present conditions
in Oklahoma the bootlegger is act
i've all the time. and that under the
Interstate commerce law, any cltl
zen of Oklahoma can purchase al
the intoxicating liquor he may de
sire in another state and have il
shipped in without violation of the
law. The federal court in Oklahoma
as well as the state supreme court
have held that state prohibition en-
forcement authorities can not inter
fere with interstate shipment of liz
uor until it reaches the hands OF
the consignee 1t is maintained by
the Sons of Washington that more
'quor is being purchased and drunk
in Oklahoma now than during oper
saloon days.
The situation in Oklahoma on the
question of prohibition is consider
ably different from that in Kansas
where the same fight has been go
. ing on for % years. The great ef
