WH|RLWIND PROHIBITION
CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 14.-Do you be-
lieve in nationwide prohibition? If so,
let your congressman know where you
stand.
That is the slogan of the whirlwind
campaign now being conducted in
Georgia by the Anti-Saloon League
Of this state, of which James A Christ
Jan is superintendent, and in practical
" every section the campaign spakers
find public sentiment overwhelmingly
in favor of the issue.
The proposed prohibition amends
ment to the federal constitution which
has passed the United States Senate
will come to vote in the national
House Of Representatives IN December.
Ii it passes the House and is signed
by the president, it will then be refer
red to the legislatures of the various
states for their ratification or rejec-
ton. To secure the passage of the
amendment in the House, a campaign
is now being waged throughout the
country under the auspices of the
Anti-Saloon League of America, and
the campaign in Georgia IS part Of
the great national drive.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, famous
hero of the Merrimac and probably
the ablest prohibition advocate in the
world, is being heard by large and en-
thusiastic audiences wherever he ap-
pears in the Georgia campaign. He
will speak in Macon today; in Athens
tomorrow and in Savannah on Friday.
