FLORIDA To FIGHT
PROHI AMENDMENT

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 21.-That the
Georgia legislature when it meets next
summer will ratify the proposed pro-
hibition amendment to the federal
constitution is generally accepted here
as a foregone conclusion, in view of
the unequivocal stand which the state
has taken for bone bry prohibition,
which is strongly supported by pub
lie opinion.
1t is likewise bci2Ted that the legis-
lstures of Tonnes oe South Carolina
and Alabam WI ratify the amend
ment, but Florida is lighting ground
because of the strongly entrenched
position Of the liquor men in Jackson
vile and other Florida cities. The
constitution of the state contains
local option clause. Under this clause
an overwhelming majority of the coun-
ties have already voted to abolish sa-
loon But in the winter tourist re-
sorts like Jacksonville and other
cities, the saloons are still running.
Governor Cats has made a fight to
secure constitutional amendment
striking the local option clause out of
hte Florida constitution so as TO en-
able the legislature to pass a state
wide prohibition law, but so far he
has not been successful.
Inasmueh, however, as the ratifica-
ton of the prohibition amendment to
the federal constitutional will only re-
Quire majority vote of the Florida
legislature. while an amendment to
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-12-21

the Florida constitution would require
more than a majority, it is believed
that the fight for ratification will be
easier won than the local fight for
statewide prohibition in Florida.
The Anti-Saloon League of America,
according to James A. Christian,
superintendent of the Georgia League,
viii make a fight to elect dry legis-
lators in every doubt full state, so as
to secure the ratification of the federal
amendment by the requisite thirty-six
state legislatures.

Candidates' Dates Set.

Under a ruling that has been handed
down by the State Law Department all
candidates for the nomination for Comp
troller-the only Statewide Office to be
filed this fall-must file certificates Of
their candidates. with the Secretary of
State on or before August II, and all other
candidates seeking nominations must file
their certificates with the Board Of Elec-
ton Supervisors Of the city Of Baltimore.
or their respective counties. on or before
August 20.
The law provides that candidates asking
nominations for State Offices must file their
certificates at least 80 days before the pri-
maries, and that local candidates must file
their certificates 20 days before the pri-
maries. The State Law Department rules
that this means 80 or 20 full days before
the primaries, and that primary day itself is
not to be counted. Hence, 1t has fixed the
dates referred to above. and the primaries
this fall viii be held on September II.
Candidates for the nomination for Comp
troller would have until August IL to file
their certificates but for the fact that that
date falls on Sunday. Hence their time
will be shortened by one day.
The Law Department also calls attention
to the fact that candidates for the Legis-
lature must have been residents Of the
State for the three years last preceding the
election, and residents Of the district from
which they aspire for the last year. In
other words. no one can be candidate fol
the Legislature who has not been resi-
dent Of his district for the last year, AND
resident Of the State for the last three
years.

Rules To Guide In Draft Cases.

The three Maryland district exemption
boards, at joint meeting held at the re-
quest of the Provost Marshal General. for
the purpose Of securing uniformity Of de-
cision in the same classes of cases. to con-
slider requests made for a definition of
policy or rules with respect to industrial
exemptions. adopted resolution offered
by Robert Moss instructing the chairmen
Of the three boards to prepare a statement
in accordance with the resolution for pub
LEGATION. The statement prepared by Ed
win G. Baetjer, w. Laird Henry and Robert
Moss is as follows:
The decisions Of the three Maryland ex-
emption boards will be governed by the
following considerations and made in &C.
cordance with the following rules
I. The selection Of men for military ser
vice is not made by the Exemption Board
this was done by the Act Of Congress and
the class selected includes every person
between 81 and so years Of age.
Exemptions or relieffrom the call for ser
vice are not granted as a consideration for
the support Of dependents or as a privilege
Of certain industrial or agricultural voca-
tons; they are not granted in the interest
Of any individual or vocation, but solely
in the interest Of the nation military and
industrial efficiency; and Of the two the
military is the more important factor.
2. Exemption boards can have no policy
Of their own; the policy is defined by Con-
gress. Neither severity nor leniency can
have any place in their judgment. They
have the right only to be just-just not
only to the man affected by the exemption
claimed, but to the man substituted for
him by the exemption granted. An i'm
properly granted exemption does not merely
wrongfully relieve the applicant of his duty.
but wrongfully puts another in his place.
The Army quota IN st be filed and the
discharge or exemption Of the fit on the
earlier applications involves the accep-
lance Of those older and less fitted for ser
vice on the latter ones and involves. there
fore. constantly decreasing standard of
military efficiency and fitness Of the men
drafted.
The board can be guided. therefore. by a
single rule. that is. administer the rules
prescribed by Congress and the Presidents
regulations justly. so that everyone called
to the colors can respond in the confidence
that his call was fair.
From DISTRICT BOARDS.
5. Appeals applicant, or the gov
eminent. may appeal from the adverse
decision of the local board. The govern
ment is Obliged by law to appeal in all
cases in which an exemption is granted on
account Of dependents. The government
is authorized to file such additional aft
davits in opposition to the supporting aft !
davits as II may deem necessary and the
board is authorized to make such inquiry
rs they may deem necessary to ascertain
he facts stated in the supporting affidavit.
4. Industrial Claims-These are defined
~ the Acts OF Congress as follows:
Persons engaged In industries. includ-
