is A MORAL QUESTION
Eugene ChAfIn Says Prohib,tAsn IL
Neral Question and Not Ono Fer
States to Decide for Themselves.

Eugene Chafin, twice candidate for
president, and candidate in his home
state, Arizona, In the recent primary
election, speaking before large au-
diencs at the First Christian church
Sunday denounced the doctrine Of
states rights, statewide prohibition
or local option, claiming that prohi-
bition is n moral issue and a. such
must be treated.
mo man." sad the speaker. stands
for the heart Of his people unless he
stands for the moral wave Of his
home Home rule on the moral ques-
tlOn In as big a fallacy as was the
popular sovereignty on the slavery
question. A nation can not be good
when only half Of It Is right and the
other half wrong. Local option, home
rule and popular sovereignty are all
the same thing.
"You must come TO realize that
moral questions cannot be settled by
n state a county, or cit The moral
standard Is fixed by national wave.
| would suggest that you 20 10 WASH
ingtOn and ask FOR one standard on
the greatest question that has ever
arisen. Get bill passed prohibiting
the manufacture and sale N liquor In
the United States. Only December "a
last the Hobson amendment was vot-
cd on The members resurrected all
the fallacies Of the past and brought
them up The day will 40 down In
history as resurrection day
"Also get them to pass law TO
prohibit Its importation into he
United States. Prohibit literature
from liquor interests being sent
through the mail Raise the tar
from 81 h gallon to $4,000 a gallon. "
John p. st. Johns former governor
of Kansas, In short address said
Prosperity depends on the throttling
Of the liquor traffic and the award
ing OF. the ballot to women"
