We hate the old fogy that sneers
at up-to-dateness and claims that they
managed things much better when
he was boy. The truth Of the mat
ter is that they didn't know they
were alive when he was a boy.

Count Now Is
Fourteen For
Ratification
Louisiana Votes in Special Session for
Dry Nation

On August 8 Louisiana ratified the
federal Prohibition amendment. In
the House the vote was 60 to 81. Sev-
eral days previous to the vote in the
House the Senate voted II to 20 in
favor of ratification. During the regu-
lar session of the Legislature several
months ago Louisiana failed to ratify
in the Senate by vote of 20 to 20.
Soon after special election was held
to fill vacancy in the Senate. The
senator elected favored ratification,
giving the vote needed. Louisiana is
the 14th state to ratify; it is the fifth
wet state to do so. There are 1o dry
states left whose Legislatures have not
yet voted on ratification; accordingly,
if all the dry states ratify as they are
expected to do, three more wet states
must ratify to make the total of SO.

SPRINGFIELD GETS
BOTH CONVENTIONS
Democrats and Republicans Will Meet
in Dry Capital

This year the Republican and DEM
ocratic state conventions will be held
at Springfield. Springfield has been
without saloons since a year ago in
May. When the city voted dry, the
vets predicted that Peoria would get
all big conventions in the future. The
vets even started movement to have
the capital moved to the whisky city
after Springfield closed its barrooms.
There must have been great sorrow
and deep chagrin in the wet camp
when it was learned that two great
political conventions will be held in
the dry city of Springfield instead of
going to East St. Louis, Peoria or
some of the other places where the
saloons have not yet closed

OF Chicago together with the brewers,
bartenders, saloonkeepers and others
interested in selling liquor regardless
OF the laws of the state.
In every legislative campaign and
at every session of the Legislature
the United Societies actively opposed
every measure proposing to restrict
the sale of liquor. They opposed
county option, statewide referendum,
anti-blind pig bills and all other dry
Legislation.
During the last session, as in pre-
vious sessions. the United Societies
fought against limiting or prohibiting
the sale of liquor in dance halls. They
fought desperately to retain the spe-
cial bar permit ordinance which al
lowed the sale of intoxicants at dance
halls and resulted in such evil condi-
tions that the United States govern
mcnt finally took action The United
Societies also used its influence
against woman suffrage.
This organization has always work.
ed against Amcricanization and
against laws to prevent intoxicaton,
yet this organization has been the pre-
dominating influence in the choice of
members of the Illinois Legislature.
Do you, Mr.. Voter, want your rep
resentative to be politically obligated
to and creature of the United Soci-
cites?
If not, cast your ballot for endorsed
dry candidates at the primaries on
September IL.
Remember that a wet candidate
from any part of the state will be
subject to the orders of the United So
cieties if elected, because the United
Societies directs the actions of the
vets at Springfield.

THE UNITED SOCIETIES

The United Societies for local self
government has been the dominating
wet influence in Illinois politics. 1t is
combination of various social and
other organizations, members of which
speak foreign languages. The organ
ization, methods, purposes and prac-
tices OF the United Societies have
been practically identical with those
of the German American Alliance.
The two purposes for which the
organization exists appear to be to
keep alive foreign habits, customs. ira
ditions and languages in America
After the declaration of war by the
United States and after public atten-
ton has been directed towards the
German-American Alliance, the Unit
ed Societies added paragraph to its
constitution and a department to its
organization providing for the Amer
canization of members.
Aside from its past activities for
the purpose of preserving foreign Ian
gauges and customs, the United Soci.
ties has been chiefly engaged in fight
ing against Prohibition. When the
mayor of Chicago ordered the chief
of police to enforce the state law
against running saloons on Sunday
the United Societies vigorously pro-
tested against this action. 1t then be-
came public that this organization had
asked the mayor to pledge himself
against enforcing the state law. The
United Societies at this time openly,
brazenly, publicly and persistently
used its influence against enforcement
of the Sunday closing law. 1t even
went so far as to hold personal lib
erty parade in which thousands of its
members marched along the streets
