r. Jones, national chairman, ad-
dressed the gathering. He spoke of
the bright outlook for the Prohibi-
ton party, owing to the splits in
the ranks of the Republican and
Democratic parties. He declared
many additional votes would be
gained by his party as result.
1T is a crisis which believe is
facing the United States to-day, "he
said. Surely the conduct OF the
Presidential candidates in the Re-
publican party must disgust any
sensible voter, and the Democratic
candidates do not possess the con-
fidence OF the best voters"
In his talk Mr.. Polling declared
the Democratic and Republican
parties are advocating high and low
licenses as the remedy OF the liquor
evil. He said the leaders Of those
parties maintain that prohibition
does not prohibit. In anawer 70
