To Make Country Dry Aim of
Anti Saloon League, Meet
ing ct Columbus, Ohio.
TO AMEND CONSTITUTION
Organization Proposes to Garry Issue
Into Election of Members
of Congress.

columbus. Ohio. Nov 11.--Nation-
wide prohibition through an amend
ment of the constitution OF the United
States is the dominant theme of the
fifteenth national convention of the
Anti-Saloon league of America. which
opened last night in Memorial hall.
From now on the league proposes to
carry on wet and dry" issue into
the election of members of congress
just as for the last 20 years il. has
been advancing il in the election of
state legislatures The convention is
the greatest ever held by the league
and it is in the nature of a jubilee over
what has been accomplished in the
last two decades, particularly in the
last two years.
The foes of old King Alcohol say
that the greatest result of the four
days gathering will be to turn loose
large quantities of inspiration" and
to increase the enthusiasm for the
campaign next year.
1t is the prelude TO a fight that will
be carried into every congressional
district in the country, the aim being
the SUBMISSION OI Il COuSlltullOndk
amendment that will drive the liquor
traffic from every nook and corner of
the land.
Delegates are streaming into the
city by trainloads. Still other thous-
ands are delayed by the snowstorms
and are making slow progress toward
Columbus. BY a rather unusual dis
pensation the Chicago delegation. led
by F. Scott Mcbride, state superfn-
tendent, got in this evening more than
an hour ahead Of time, but others are
not so fortunate, and from time to
time bulletins are received of eastern
delegations that are craving along
hours behind schedule.
WEEK MEASURE.
In launching the movement to
amend the federal constitution the
league finds its greatest encourage
ment in the passage by congress of the
Weeks-Kenyon act prohibiting ship
ments into dry states. II is the only
piece of national Legislation the or

Weeks-Kenyon bill has demonstrated
what national campaign will accom-
plish. the organization now proposes
10 make the remaining % per cent of
the country dry" with one sweep.
The dry" victories in Illinois last
Tuesday. when % out of IS cities voted
against the saloon, are another cause
for jubilation among the delegates.
After a memorial for constitutional
amendment has been drafted a COM
mittee of 1000 will be picked to jour
ney to Washington Dec. 10 next. to lay
ii before congress and that will mark
the opening OF the real fight
Illinois affords an illustration of
what the league is planning and how
we'll il is organized TO conduct its
congressional campaigns. In the first
place the league is nonpartisan. 1t has
only one aim for the present and that
is TO wipe out the saloon. and it mat
tiers not TO the organization whether
the lawmaker who supports its pro
gram is a democrat, republican, pro-
sressive. socialist or prohibitionist
When the primaries roll around the
league will work for candidates for
congress who are pledged TO vote fav-
orably on the resolution to submit to
the states a constitutional amend
ment.
In case it should fail to find a friend
on any of the tickets nominated in Il
district. it proposes to place an inde-
pendent candidate in the field.
PLANS DANVILLE FIGHT.
In Illinois the Danville district will
be given particular attention. II 10
seph G.. Cannon, former speaker, does
not change his mind and enters the
race. the league will make a special
fight against him because he voted
against the Weeks-Kenyon bill, urged
its defeat and aided in tying it up in
AS to how well they are organized
for the fray in Illinois, the league Of
ficials say that the organization con
tains 1000 committeeman downstste
and 1000 in Chicago, members who
have an official standing beyond being
part of the rank and file. The state
has been organized with the school
district as the smallest unit. working
up into county organization and into
state central organization.
One of the speakers last night was
Governor Ben w. Hooper of Tennes-
see, a republican twice elected COVER
nor of democratic state with the as
sistance of the temperance element of
both old parties, on a platform calling
for the strict enforcement of the
states prohibition laws. He said in
part:
The enactment in Tennessee of
statewide prohibition and an honest
election law in 1909 was only the be
ginning of genuine hostilities between
the liquor forces and the forces OF law
and order, and the end is not yet.
1T would be superfluous for me to
to this gathering of experts
that the saloon is essentially lawless.
may have seen a legalized saloon.
but you have never seen legal saloon.
The liquor business has never sub
nitted TO legal restraints anywhere.
Il you segregate it, it sneaks across
he forbidden line. If you close the
'front.' door, the back door is open.
The regulated saloon is a myth and
he Model License league is fraud"
