ful rebuke brought a storm OF cheers
President Wooarow Wilson came
in for severe criticism because OF MS
attitude on prohibited. Mr.. Chain
prefaced his remarks about the pres
ident with stories OF the days before
the rebellion when Lincoln and
Douglas were engaged in their IA
nous debates. He also spoke OF Gen
Lewis Cass. OF MichiganA
"Cass ana Douglas made the same
mistake that is being made today by
our president" said Chain. They
believed and preached the doctrine
OF popular sovereignty They said
Let the people OF the different states
decide for themselves II slavery is
wrong. Lincoln's reply was that no
man or set OF men could legislate a
wrong into a right
That is the exact situation we
have today Let the different cities
townships, counties, or states decide
for themselves IL they want or dc
not want liquor Is the attitude OF the
president OF the nation. IL liquor Is
wrong In one hamlet in America, 4
Is wrong on every inch of soil over
which our flag floats. II It's right
then it's right for the whole of the
union
Il never saw saloonkeeper, g
woman OF the streets. or anyone else
allied with the liquor traffic VINO
didn't feel thankful for the local op
ton Law that gave an opportunity OF
getting liquor a few miles away, In
case one certain district went dry
Liquor is either wrong or right fol
the whole United States. and II
Woodrow Wilson, as head OF the party
in control of our government, writes
in a local option plank in the mex
platform OF the Democratic party, NJ
will go down TO defeat In 1915"
Mr. Chain concluded his address
with a ringing appeal for more en-
thusiasm and more recruits, declar
ing that with proper strength, tn,
army OF the dry workers could
descend upon congress In the session
next December. and make an impress
sion that would force the majority o.
congressman and senators TO recog
nize the right OF the people the ma
ton over to express their opinion b,
ballot as to whether liquor should BE-
permitted to remain or be banishot
from the country.

every state capital. Since We begal
our work last September, We have
seen Oregon. Washington and Arizon'
go dry. In California, regarded as l
stronghold OF liquor interests, oui
audiences have run up into the thou
sands every day. In Los Angeles alone
in one meeting 5000 men signed allie
