DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION
TO PROMOTE PROHIBITION
WILL SEEK TO HAVE THE LEG
IsLATuRE OF 1918 SUBMIT
TIE AMENDMENT.

The formation of an organization.
within the Democratic party in Ken
lucky, the object of which will be to
bring about action by the next regular
session Of the General Assembly, at the
meeting in January, 1918, submitting to
the people an amendment to the State
Constitution for Statewide prohibition,
was set on foot in Louisville November
16 at small gathering embracing some
OF the best known men OF the State.
They form but the nucleus of a body
that will be made up of men of their
standing and character in every coun-
ty, scores Of whom are already in touch
with the organizers. The plans of cam
paign that were laid are probably the
most thorough yet mapped out in such
fight in Kentucky.
The head OF the new organization is
DIR. A. j. A. Alexander, of Woodford- co.,
widely known philanthropist and af-
riculturist, who assumes the chairman
ship, and Col p. H. Callahan, of Lou
isville, the well known business man
and student Of public questions. AS
sociated with them on the Executive
Committee are former Chief Justice ].
P. Hobson, of Frankfort; DIR. M. b. Ad-
ans, of Georgetown; DIR. A. Gatliff, of
Williamsburg; the Hon. ]. Guthrie
Coke. OF Logan-co.; former Circuit
Judge James M. Benton, OF Clark-co.;
Henry M. Johnson, OF Louisville, and
Ben b. Cozine, Of Shelby-co.
Permanent headquarters Of the or
ganization will be opened almost inn
mediately. The campaign win be Wig
orously conducted in every county in
the State in which there is the slight
est prospect of naming Democratic
member of the House of Representa-
tives, and in every district where a
State Senator is to be chosen. An Ex-
ecutive Committee will be named in
each county and district made up Of
mn of the standing and type OF the
State Committee, and through these
county committees the campaign will
be carried into each precinct and to
every Democratic voter.
The men who have set on foot this
movement to settle the question Of
prohibition in Kentucky believe that
their plan will be effective, more so
than il fostered only by faction of
the Democratic party. as they plan to
bring together with them representa-
tives of the great business interests
and people Of all classes who are work.

social condition OF the State.
