RATIFICATION
FIGHT IS ON
DEBATES WILL BE HELD ALL
OVER STATE PRO AND CON
ADOPTION or FEDERAL
AMENDMENT.
CBy international News ssrvies.)

(By international News Serviee.)
Huntsville. Ala, May 22.-The
opening gun in the fight for and
against the adoption by Alabama Of
the Federal Constitutional Prohibi-
tion amendment viii be fred here
May "a in the first Of a series Of
joint debates between representa-
tives Of the Anti-Saloon League. sup
porting the amendment. and anti
prohibition forces opposing the
amendment.
The debate here will be between
James weatherly. Of Birmingham.
representing the Anti-Saloon League
and Oscar s. lewis. representing the
forces opposed 10 the ratification Of
the amendment. The fight promises
TO be the hardest ever conducted in
the South between the friends and
the foes Of whiskey.
Alabama is for prohibition. Ever
since saloons were relegated from the
State the issue has been fought over
again and again and in practically
every instance the prohibitionists
won.
The small success accredited TO
the anti-prihibition forces may be
traced TO a beclouded issue. Never
has the question Of whiskey or no
whiskey come before the people Of
the State that they did not reject
whiskey.
The present campaign has many side
issues tending TO confuse the voter.
None Of the candidates on the ticket
opposed TO the constitutional amend
ment viii openly say they favor the
return Of saloons to Alabama. Rath-
er, they explain they are as good
prohibitionists as anybody. but they
believe in the old theory Of State
rights--that every State has a right
10 say whether Il shall have prohi-
bition or not. and that two-thirds Of
the States Of the Union have no right
TO say what kind Of laws the other
third Of the States shall live under.
In both the amendist and the anti
amendist camps II is pretty well un-
derstood that should the Federal
amendment be defeated in Alabama
the next move by the anti-amendists
win be straight-out anti-prohibi-
tion fight--a campaign waged in the
hope Of throwing the State open 10
the liquor traffic.
II is indicated the Anti-Saloon
League will be able 10 command some
money from outside the State TO
carry ON the campaign. II is also in
dieated that the anti-amendists will
have strong financial backing from
Northern liquor interests.
The debates also will be held in
Birmingham, Montgomery, Gadsden,
Albany. Tuscaloosa, Selma. Mobile
Admission and other cities between
May "a and the close Of the campaign.
