Washington. d. c., July 13.--That
Billy Sunday may come to Washing
ton to help in the campaign for
Washington Dry In 1915" was the an
nouncement made at the opening
meeting Of the campaign IN Metro
politan Methodist Episcopal Church,
when an audience estimated at 1.400
people heard former Governor j.
Frank Hanly, of Indiana, deliver an
address under the auspices of the
Washington Civic Association, in
which he declared that a fight all
along the line in Washington" will
mean the end of the saloon.
The announcement that Evangelist
Sunday In likely to come to the ma
tionai capital was made by Presi-
Dent Andrew Wilson, of the District
IAnti-Saloon League. who stated that
during the recent national convention
/ OF the organization at Atlantic City
the word had come to group of lead
ers that the famous evangelist would
welcome. the opportunity to aid in the

Mr.. HaDly's Assertion.
Former Governor Hanly, who was
introduced by General Secretary Will
liam movies Cooper. of the Young
Mems Christian Association, said this
country should profit by the example
of Russia. which. he declared, by ban
ishing stronk drink had within a
few short months raised the efficiency
Of the people from 80 to SO per cent
and brought an increase OF 900 per
cent In the deposits In the banks
within that time.
If war has brought such wonder
full results for Russia asked Gov
ernor Haniy, why should we In
America wait for war to bring them
ito us?
God forbid that this country be
drawn into the catac1ysm across the
sea-" he continued. but IL the hour
should come the country would find
in its midst beneath its flag a greater
enemy In the liquor traffic than any
European nation has found.
II hear many appeals today for
greater navy, a larger army and more
to protect our country
from the attack of the enemy, and /
submit Ii the striking example of pro-
hibition In Russia during the past six
months is true. what greater prepa-
ration for the defense OF the country
could the American statesmen take
than to declare the country dry"
