LIQUOR TRAFFIC
is VERY WRONG
by the authority of the government.
Slavery, Not Liberty.


Instead of securing liberty through
our system of dealing with the liquor
traffic we join hands with those who
cnslaye. As to the claim for liberty
by men engaged in this business, such
liberty is everywhere already denied,
except to those who purchase t. The
monopoly thus secured to the few
manufacturers and dealers cannot be
upheld in the name Of liberty, because
it dcpriyes the rest OF our people Of
equal privileges. BY virtue of the
special privileges granted to the liquor
traffic humanity in general is deprived
of the most sacred blessings OF liberty.
From behind prison bars, the windows
of the mad house, and from the gallOwS
and the electric chair the victims Of
this traffic are yearly crying in vain
for liberty. A million men in our
country, according to modern science,
have acquired an irresistible disease
in their appetite for strong drink which
fastcns upon them more CALLING chains
than bound the black man OF the

children come into the world with the
cry for liberty to live and enjoy life,
but suffer and 20 out with a wall be-
cause of drunken parentage. Our
hearts thrOb with universal sorrow
over the recent Affections OF child

and greater woes with which We bur
den and STAY them, have become so
commonplace that we are unmoved
AS to the security of human happi-
ness, the present system Of dealing
with the liquor problem gives haDp-
ness to none, and brings a train Of
woe. misery disappointment and
trouble to rich and poor, to high and
low
az believe the problem Of success
for universal, worldwide prohibition
is simply the problem Of convincing
the world that it never pays to join
hands with and share the spoils Of
those who do wrong. The world today

hour; that under your leadership our
party has such an opportunity to carry
forward to victory the great work
which it has slowly been preparing
to do during all these years; we thank
God for the record Of years in which
you have fought the enemy and espec-
tally for the vision in obedience to
which you have become one with us
in this great warfare. We welcome
you as our leader, and may | not pray,
as every lover of God and humanity
ought to pray, that the God Of this
nation shall make you mighty in
strument to hasten the day when this
land of ours shall be free, when the
flag we love shall cease it's ignoble

alcoholic poison, and when every home

this traffic. When the war il Europe
broke out the Russian government
was receiving the entire profits Of the
liquor traffic. 1t fostered that trade
for the sake Of revenue; bU: In the
face OF the tremendous struggle in
which it is now engaged it called the
greatest council in its history and de-
clared that it needed sober men more
than it needed money and forthwith
prohibited the traffic. The undisputel
social and financial blessings to that
empire resulting from that change
marks the miracle Of the war. France,
Germany and England are rapidly be-
ing forced to the acceptance Of the
same great principle. In the face OF
this, how long will our people pur-
sue our ruinous policy? viii we ont
this very campaign condemn our gov
ernment for putting IT'S hands deeper
into the treasury that represents the
precious blood Of its own people?
Right about Face.
1.-THE problem then is one Of right
about face methods Of dealing with
the liquor traffic. Where we have sold
the privilege to do wrong we must
prohibit, just as we do with all other
wrongs, just as God Almighty did at
Sinai. This means that every munich
pality in the land, every state, and the
national government shall cooperate
in the movement to get right.
in the last analysis the responsible
ity in the United States for the con-
tInued legislation Of the liquor traffic
rests upon the sovereign voter. Our
governments, local, state and national,
will do just what the voters order at
the ballot box. So long as the voters
are content to sell their own offspring
to the liquor makers and vendors the
government will continue to gather
taxes in that way The right about
face must begin with the voter at the
ballot box.
81 believe, sir, that the great ma
iority of our people would rejoice to
see the next president Of the United
States 90 before Congress and say to
them: Gentlemen, the time has come
when we need sober people and the
wealth Of this nation devoted to the
legitimate channels OF trade, more
than we need money collected from
the unfortunate victims Of the liquor
traffic. therefore recommend that
this government abolish every vestage
Of its completely with this traffic, and
that you submit to the states Of the
union constitutional amendment
which shall forever prohibit absolute

"As political issues are now formed
such speech can be expected only
from you, sir, as the upholder Of our
standard. Either Of the honorable
gentlemen now candidates for the high
office Of the presidency, would have
the right to say to any voter who SIP
ported him, why should you expect
me to make such a speech, asking
action directly contrary to the historic
position Of my party and its recent
refusal to endorse such principle in
its platform?
Vote as One Believes.
THE only logical conclusion for any
voter, therefore, who believes in pro-

Declares Robert Patton ir
Notifying Frank HanIy Of
His Nomination.


INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. s. In his
address of notification to Governor
j. Frank Hanly, nominee for presi-
dent on the Prohibition ticket, Rob
crt II. Patton, of Springfield, H., to-
day took the position that the liquor
traffic is fundamentally wrong. Com
plete radication rather than trent
ment to alleviate what he calls the
evils of the traffic was advanced.
Mr. Patton said:
Governor J Frank Hanly: l esteem
i: an honor and a privilege to notify
YOU that there has been placed IN your
hands by the national Prohibition par
| ty the unsuliCd banner which it has
kept before our countrymcn for forty
seven years, and which now represents
the most victorious struggle Of ali tie
centuries for the cause IT humanity
ana Justice.
81 would have you and your Coun-
lrymcn understand first Of all that the
grcd- mission of the Prohibition party
which has given it such signal life
and present hope OF victory has tcen
tho championship of the prohibition
Of ttc liquor traffic, the greatest po-
lIt}caI issue facing the people of the
United States and Of the entire world.
1t has been the mission OF this patty
to call the governments, local, state
and national back to original, sound
principles of government in dealing
with the liquor traffic. AS the light Of
truth and reason has been thrown
upon this problem it has become mere
and more apparent that the systems
adopted have been contrary TO the
Fundamental principles of civilized
governments. The liquor traffic must
be treated from a governmental stand
pu'nt as either good or evil, and It's
lcgal%nton as either right or wrong.
If II is a good thing, and thcrcfJrc lis
lCealzaon right. it should have ;ho
same privileges as every other ot"u-
pa;ion which is a blessing 10 the hui
man race without purchasing that
r,yilegc. II it is a wrong and ar evil

man race. it should be TRACED from

otter wrongs and proht5'o1. The

Results All Evil.
THAT the liquor traffic produces evil

With the chance for peace remote,
