To BEGIN FIGHT
FOR NATIONWIDE
DRY AMENDMENT
ANTI-SAL0ON LEAGUE, ORGANIZED
IN 1898, MARSHALLING FORCES
FOR LAST BATTLE WITH THE
LIQUOR INTERESTS.

ATLANTA, GA, September IL
When, in 1898. the Anti-Saloon
League was organized at Oberlin, Ohio,
by Howard H. Russell, there were 7
states in the United States, North and
South Dakota Kansas, Oklahoma,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
that had prohibition. A few other
states had within chem more or less
local option territory.
Ae the opening of September 1917, a
quarter of a century after the organ
ization of the league, there are twenty
SIX states that either have prohibition
Or have taken the necessary legal
steps to obtain it, and all the other
states, save Nevada and New Jersey,
large local option areas, some of them
being almost white. Congress has
abolished the liquor traffic in the Dis
trict of Columbia, all national parks,
navy yards. training schools for the
navy, war vessels and other national
grounds and properties. The territory

leaders insist that while no other
amendment has been hampered with a
time provision, six years will be ample
They say that all the dry states will
Immediately ratify, and that the others
will fall in line within the required
sextennial
Once a state has ratified the amend
ment it cannot repeal that ratification,
but a state failing to ratify at one
session of its legislature, may take
III the amendment at subsequent SEES
sions, and act until it does ratify.
The state now drv or soon to go
dry are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona,
Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana,
Kansas, Iowa, Mississippi Michigan,
Montana, Maine, North Dakota, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wash
ington, West Virginia
1t is to these states, of course, that
the League will look for first results
i'll the matter of ratifying the prohibit
titn amendment. Campaigns to that
end will shortly be held
Then the fight will be taken up in
other states nearly dry or that have
gone dry by that time. In the mean
time strenuous camptigns for state
wide prohibition will be staged in all
the states, for it is the announced
program of the temperance forces to
go after the smaller game, too, while
stalking the elephant
Statewide fights are now in p1ogress
or are schedule, as follows;
Iowa, voted October 18th on consti-
tutional prob ,b'tion (dry now by stat

now dry by statute, but will vote on
issue of constitutional prohibition)
During this year the legislature OF
Wisconsin passed bill substituting
statewide prihibition to be voted on
a! a special election in 1918, but it
was vetoed by the governor. The
drys there will seek enactment of
another law at the coming legislative
session.
Two of Delaware's three counties
are dry, and an enabling act has been
passed whereby the citizens of the
third county may vote. During the
spring of 1918, nearly all of the cities
of New York will vote on local option,
using a privilege recently granted
under the Wheeler law.
A comparatively large number of
saloons have been put out of business
by the regulations of the war depart
ment, which forbid selling liquor with
i'll certain distances of encampments.
During the time between the pres
ent date and the consideration of the
amendment in the House, the Anti
Saloon League, which maintains legis-
lative headquarters in Washington, will
use publicity and pressure, throughout
the nation, on such congressman as
are either on the fence or opposed to
submitting the resolution. Folks
back home" will be urged frequently
and emphatically to make known to
their coneressmen the desire of the
constituents that the amendment be
sent to the states.
Besides these congressman known
to be partially favorable to prohibition
some other noses must be counted,
Crys assert. There are a few congress-
men who have not quite made up their
minds; they must hear from their
constituents. These, it is believed,

feurs were lodged in Jail.
For the present those arrested are

OF Alaska and the Island of Prto Rico
have voted dry.
The bone dry federal law which for
bids shipment of liquor into dry
states and which Furnishes severely
those who use the mails to advertise
liquor in dry territory to send in
liquor orders from such territory is
an achievement of the present year.
In addition. it is now law that the
manufacture of distilled spirits for
beverage purposes shall cease during
the war, and that there shall be no
more importations of expectations in
that period; that the manufacture of
wine and beer may also be stopped if
the President deems it wise, and that
the liquor now in existence may be
withdrawn from use by being COM
Wandered.
The Senate, by larger vote than
was necessary, aropted the Sheppard
resolution submitting to the states the
question of complete nation-wire pro-
hibition by amendment to the federal
constitution. That same resolution
will come up in the House not later
than the December session. Its set
Element in that body Immediately after
its disposition by the Senate was pre-
vented by a caucus rule, which pre-
vented the consideration of any except
war measures. Drys contend that the
House will treat the measure even
better than the Senate did.
Following its submission to the
state, according to Anti-Saloon League
leaders, will come the campaign for
its ratification by the necessary thirty
six of the forty-eight states The
amendment, according to the terms of
the measure, must be ratified within
six years after its submission, but dry

will see the political wisdom, at least
if nothing else of voting for the reso-
Triton when it come up in the House
Still others are frankly opposed to pro-
h;bition, but are weary of having it
come up to them so often, and out of
a desire to be rid of it, will answer
Aye"
However, should congressman fail
to adopt the resolution the League
will begin, after such failure, cam
paign to eliminate from the House
such congressman as oppose the meas
ure, and to elect those who favor its
submission.
The, national convention of the
League will be held in Washington
in December, and it is expected to
assemble very large ad influential
gathering of men and women from all
the states, who will bring as much
pressure as possible to bear on the
members of the lower branch of the
national delegation.
1t is in the aid of this great ma
tional campaign for the adoption of
a prohibition amendment that the ma
tional speakers of the League have
been sent into this state, for the cam
paign now on, and which will con-
tinue until some $50 town and cities
OF Georgia have been visited.

BUSINESS MEN STRIKE
AGAINST SOLICITING
Are Solicited by Churches and
Small Publications, Latter
Are Really HOlaUps

At an old time experience meeting
held by the members of the Business
Mems League of the Commercial club
last evening, the evils of soliciting for
contributions to churches, societies and
small publications were discussed. The
consensus of opinion was that in al
most all soliciting, the business man
was almost forced to contribute, on the
showing that his competitor had come
across or had been bullied into digging
up against his business Judgment ON
that threat that unless he did contrib
ute, he would lose trade.
One of the forms of Advertising op-
posed was that of programs in which
some party outside the city solicits adj
vertising on the strength of a home
organization and then pockets big
porfit. If there is to be money made,
the business men prefer that it be made
by home folks.
Must Have Cards.
But the big bone of contention was
whether a church in soliciting aid
should be obliged to secure a card from
the League and whether business man
should contribute to a church asking
aid that did not have the endorsement
of the League. To bring the proposition
to the members in a definite form mo-
tion was passed that the bylaws be
amended by providing a fine of SOL
for any merchant who gives without |
the Leagues card, and for the second
offense, expulsion from the Leagne
However, it was definitely stated that |
a man might help his own church with |

One prominent merchant stated that |
within the past few weeks about every
third party entering his store was So
hciting for some church and that things
were coming pretty fast in the way of
helping others.
Taxes Are Condemned.
After the soliciting proposition was
definitely settled, high taxes came in
for its share and it developed that the |
business men had other troubles besides
solicitors asking for aid. ''I admire men
like L. H. McMahon,' said Hal d. Pat
ton, s'who kick like hell ON the pres
