In the lower house of congress
on Monday. representative Victor
Murdoch, of Kansas. grilled our
own Billy Humphrey to fare-you-
well in a well dished-up roast. He
referred to the congressman from
the first district as that "dyspep-

understudy of Republican Leader
Mann. Members of the Progressive
party have no rings in their noses"
Murdoch shouted. "They are not
led around as the gentleman from
Washington has been for years in
this body"

violent as to place the senders In

THE AMERICAN ISSUE
December 70, 1913.

Now Get Down to Brass Tacks
Editorial by Wayne B. Wheeler, Attorney for the
Anti-Saloon League of America and Supern-
tendent of the Department of Ohio.
We are now in the position of the small boy who
met tardy member going to church. The members
watch behind time. He said to the boy whats
the matter?" The boy replied, "The talking has all
been done, the meeting is and we must now go
home and do it."
The first task of the League superintendent is
to arouse and crystalline public sentiment in favor of
this resolution for national Prohibition until it will
only be safe for congressman and senators to vote for
it, but great deal safer for them vote for it than
against it.
The next part of the program is to elect legsla-
ture which will endorse ratify the amendment after
Congress passes the resolution Heretofore men have
said to the general assembly: eff my vote would
eliminate the last saloon and brewery in the country
would give it, but [ unwilling to vote for legsla-
ton which is only pecemeal" In most instances, of
course, this only 1t cannot be urged
however, any longer. We ask them to make
good and vote for the proposition which will drive the
last saloon and brewery from America when the ma
ory of the legislatures in three ourths of the states
endorse it. No legislators vote will be effective in
accomplishing this result of course, until the majority
of hree-fourths of the states join with him in that
action This deprives every dodger who claims to be
for the elimination of the saloon from any further
excuse.
In addition to this advantage, we have the odds
in favor in the procedure outlined for the adoption
of the amendment. When threefourths of the states
ratify the amendment through their legislatures the
victory is No matter how many times we lose
in the fight ratify the amendment it simply invites
another contest. When win, the victory is
cinched forever It is similar a vote for the issuing
of bonds. You may lose many times, but affirmative
vote is final You cannot repeal that VOTE neither
you repeal the ratification of the amendment to the
constitution by the state legislature This whole ques
ton fought out and decided correctly in the adop
ton of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the
constitution of the United States.
