IMITATION BEER UNDER
BAN IN ATLANTA NOW

Atlanta, Ga, May 22-How
about this new drink that is
claimed to be an exact imitation
of beer as to looks, taste and
smell?
Is it against the law or not?
James L. Mayson, city attorney
of Atlanta, has ruled that the
drink is against the law on the
ground that it's an imitation of
the beer, and the new Georgia
prohibition laws specifically pro-
hibit the manufacture, sale, etc,
OF any imitation of beer, whether
containing alcohol or not.
Police Chief Mayo, of Atlanta,
is somewhat up in the air as to
what to do. The city attorney, as
above stated, has officially Motif
ed the police chief that the drink
is a violation of the law; while
the board of police commissioners
who elected Mayo to the lob have
decided to amuse himself in this
to stop the sale.

Sweitzer said all traitors had to walk
the plank. And Bob meant all Demo-
Gratis who voted against him for
mayor last year. And that was some
crowd.
If all Democrats who wear the Sui

Tammany may be strong enough to
control Democratic primaries and
make all Democratic nominations,
but the people will get in the habit of
swatting it's candidates on election
day.
once knew a Republican boss who
was a great organizer. He had every
precinct in big city thoroughly or
ganized. He worked the card index
system, and even organized the pre-
cincts by blocks. He named the
judges and clerks of election for both
parties, having a working relation
with just as shrewd a Democratic
boss. He had no trouble controlling
primaries and conventions. He hand
picked all the candidates for both
city and county. And just as fast as
he pat his hand-picked candidates up
the voters knocked them down. That
boss finally got the reputation of
being able to nominate, but never to
elect.
The new Tammany is starting out
in the same way. 1t can organize the
whole town, but it can't get as efec-
tive an Organization for election day
as there is in the First ward. There
is but one First ward. The only one
that approaches it is the Nineteenth,
where Johnny Powers has things
pretty much his own way.

was called and precinct captains an

in Cook County. These precinct cap
tains are leaders in their own local
tiles. Every man of them has a voice
in shaping the policy and naming the
Candidates of the party. Thus the or
SANITATION is representative in the
truest sense of the word. It is NOT
a Sullivan organization, it is NOT
Hopkins organization, it is NOT
SWeitzer organization, it is NOT an
Egan or a Scully organization, it is
NOT the organization of any one man
or group of men, it is a Democratic
organization, united, compact, rid Of
factionaIsm, and as such bound to
be triumphant"
That sounds pretty. 1t sounds
democratic. The only trouble is that
nobody will believe it. Nobody will
believe for minute that the precinct
captains will get their heads togeth-
er and give orders to Roger Sullivan
and John Hopkins. Roger and John
are not that kind of political birds.
The captains will bring in reports,
Of course, but they'll let Roger and
John, the Tammany Twins do their
political work-and the captain will
take orders from the boss and obey
them. The first captain who tries
to issue orders to Roger and John
will get canned.
However, there's nothing unusual
about that. It's regular: Roger and
John will dig up the dough for cam
paign funds, and they'll be the Whole
works. Sweitzer and Egan may be
members of the cabinet and sit in on
the councils Of waT-but only as lieu
tenants.
And, of course, it won't be the
united Democracy of Chicago. It
won't be anything bigger than an
united fractional organization or ma
chine. Don't YOU remember that Bob
