Harry Sonmers' Address

Col. Harry SOmmerS. editor of this
Flizabethtown News. ard a Bryan man
from the days of 1896. spoke in part as
follows: -
This is an suspicious gathering. which,
brings together so many distinguished
citizens of the Commonwealth to do hon
or 10 the foremost private citizen OF
America. y gathering of noted Demo-
Gratis, with different views on many ques-
tons, but all of whom would destroy Ii
QuOr domination of the politics of the
state. 7 have been asked to speak for
ten minutes on The Influence of the
Saloon"
Il arraign the American saloon as both
pernicious and vicious in it's influence
upon the people of our nation. | chal-
lenge il to show one single reason why it
should exist. II 1T were good and bene-
fetal, either to society or to business,
then it should be encouraged. and We
could not have too many of them; and,
instead of having TO pay a license to do
business they should like a manufacIur-
ing plant. be offered a bonus to locate
and operate. If an evil thing. bringing
forth nothing good or helpful. then il
has no right to exist under any condi-
lions or circumstances.
q Violation of the Law
81 arTaign the American saloon not only
as t4v -.,i"t source OF wee and crime.
but as a law viOlatOr and a law defer.
II has set at naught the statutes of ev-
cry state ana city created for its control

responsible for great deal of the SEN
this Commonwealth where the open Sun
day saloon is doing more to hasten pro-
hibitiOn than the ablest exponent of the
prohibition scaIse- In order that il may
break the laws for it's regulation and
control, il .ensers the domain of politics
and seeks To control elections and dOmi-
nate government that il may be unmO-
Tested by the law and permitted to do
what il pleases.
In every state where the saloon is per
mitted there is an army of small and
large politicians who wear the collar Of
the liquor interests and do their bidding
and they can be found even in the House
of Representatives and in the Senate OF
the United States.
All the great economic questions have
been settled in this country and we must
now. with the decks clC1 ID for action
face ana Z stroy the greatest enemy TO
the moral, social and Christian growth
Of the peODle-the liquor traffic.
It's doom IS sealed as certain as was
that of 81 D. Ion under BeishazZar. The
handwriting is already on the wall. The
time is at hand when no man can De

centeTS. who stands for the liquor inter-
ests. Even those in this state who have
so bitterly fought for the liquor traffic in
every step to create dry territory are
asking for the submission of a statewide
amendment TO the constitution and are
looking longingly for a seat in the dry

Mr.. McChesney's Speech

Mr. McChesney, responding to the
toast, Forward Democracy, said; The
subject would be an inspiring one at any
time, but ii is doubly SO on this occasion,
when we have with US as the guest OF
honor the distinguished Democrat from
Nebraska who is Amerlcas greatest nv
ing exponent of forward Democracy. 1t
is but stating the facts OF history to
say that every progressive plank written
into a Democratic platform. state or ma
tional, in this country during the last
twenty years, has been either the direct
or indirect inspiration OF his heart and
brain.
Outside of state convention there
has never assembled, in the history of
this state, so large and representative a
body of the real Democracy as has met
here. This is easily explained. The par
ty has never faced in all its history, a
question So big with human interest as
the one which calls us together on this
occasion 1t carries a challenge 10 the
lighting blood of every Democrat whose
heart responds to the age-long cry of
suffering humanity. In different way
it appeals to the loyalty of every Demo-
crat who wa ntS TO see the old state break
the shackles that have so long bound it
i'm a business way. and throw off the
handicap that has held 1t back fifty years
in the race for commercial supremacy.
'These challenges and demands come
with such tremendous force that only a
progressive and fearless Democracy can
meet them: hence the organization of
the Democra tic Forward League. AS you
nave Deen IOlu, IL Is an olSdliZltlON
strictly within the Democratic party, and
means to accomplish its purposes within
party lines.
Let me briefly define some of the
characteristics of Forward Democracy
as see it. and with special reference to
the present Big question. First of all. it
must be Il courageous and fearless De-
mocracy | think / speak advisedly when
say that there is no influence this side
the gates of hell quite SO constituencies
as the liquor business. You men who
have accepted this challenge may expect
to meet eve species of opposition that
, levilsh ingenuity can invent, from the
! boycott to defamat ton of character. | am
happy in believing. however. that the
| .ype of Democracy represented here
Kill not be deferred for an instant by
] i9 quality of the opposition.

TO get rid Of them, for they disgrace You
while you are with them and desert you
when they cannot dominate and control

the saloon against the home are able to
unite to put a saloon in every community
why can't the people who are opposed TO
the saloons stand together for the home,

has ever known, the Democratic party. is
