WILSON ATTITUDE ON
LIQUOR QUESTION IS
CITED IN CAMPAIGN
Johnston Sends Out Letter
Combating Charge of
H0bson About ''TOOl
of Liquor Interests" W

80 far as I am myself concerned.
therefore, I can never consent to have the
question of local option made an-issue
between political parties of this state"
Thus wrote Woodrow Wilson, at pres
snt time President of the United States.
to the Rev. Thomas B. shannon Of New
ark. n. J.
To disprove statements of Captain Hob
son that he and Woodrow Wilson stand
together In important political matters.
10 disproye charges of Captain IIobson
that any man who differs from him is a
tool of the liquor interests" and to
prove that in the matter of states
rights, Woodrow Wilson and Oscar w.
Underwood stand together, Forney John
son, campaign manager for Mr.. Under
wood, is mailing to the ministers of Ala
bama, the letter. above referred to, writ
sen by the President to DIR. Shannon.
In way of introduction, Mr.. Johnston
writes:
mot as expressing our views or the
views OF this committee. but merely to
show the gross injustice of Captain Hob
the liquor interests who looks upon the
question OF national prohibition from a
point of view differing from his own, we
hand you herewith copy of the letter writ
ten by President woodrow Wilson to Rev.
Thomas B. Shannon of Newark, n. j.
The Presidents letter follows
Trenton, n. j., May l. 1911.
My Dear Mr.. Shannon: The ques-
tion asked in your letter of April 27
about my attitude toward the impor-
tant question of local option is, of
course. a perfectly legitimate one, and
you are entitled to a very frank an
swer. I would have replied sooner
had I not been prevented by impera-
tive engagements. l have explained
my views TO you in private, but have,
of course, no objection to your maxi
ing them public.
] am in favor of local option. l
am a thorough believer in local
self-government and believe that
every selfgoverning community
which constitutes a social unit
should have the right to control
the matter of the regulation or
the Withholding of licenses.
But the questions involved are
social and moral and are not sus-
ceptible of being made parts of a
party programme. Whenever they
have been made the subject mat
ter of party contests they have cut
the lines of party organization and
party action athwart to the utter
confusion of political action in ev-
cry other field. They have thrown
every other question. however i'm
portant, into the background and
have made constructive party ac
tion impossible for long years to-
Fether. So far as / am myself con-
cerned, therefore, can never
consent to have the question of
local option made an issue between
political parties in this state. My
Judgment is very clear in this
matter. I do not believe that party
programmes of the highest conse-
quence to the political life OF tho
state and of the nation ought to
be thrust on one side and hope

BUILD UP YOUR KIDNEYS

Weak kidneys are the heritage of
thousands of Americans. They are the
cause of the house ewife's backache pains
when she arises from the scrubbing
board. and the husbands rheumatic
agony when he bends down to his work.
They are also the cause when those
early symptoms are neglected, which
leads to permanent kidney disablement,
dropsy and Brights disease. Yet few
people take the trouble to look after
their kidneys. They busy themselves in
relieving the rheumatism and allaying
the backache pains, when all the while
the kidneys are struggling at their task,
getting weaker and weaker and becom-
ing hopelessly incapable Of purifying
the blood as they should. See that you
do not make the same mistake. If you
are using drugs or linimcnts for rheu-
