Information Rally
For a Dry World
Great Meeting to Launch Campaign
for Worldwide Prohibition

A conference of temperance work
ers, leading churchmen. educators, So
cial reformers and statesmen from
every section of the United States
and from foreign lands will be held
in Columbus, Ohio, November 1922,
to launch a worldwide drive for Pro-
hibition. No more appropriate city in
which to inaugurate this movement
could be found in the world. Its Sc
lection carries with it prophecy Of
success that is inspiring. 1t was in
this city, November 1913, 1918, that
the twentieth convention OF the Anti
Saloon League OF America was held,
which convention launched a nation
wide drive for constitutional Prohibi-
ton. Those who were privileged to
be present in Memorial Hall and to
hear the reading OF THE NEW
DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE," setting forth the intention to
move upon Congress for the submits
the states for ratification and outlin-
ing the plans OF the temperance hosts
to accomplish this, will never forget
the tremendous enthusiasm that
marked the reading OF the document.
But perhaps there was not one per-
son in that vast throng optimistic
enough to even hope that within five
years the Prohibition resolution
would not only have been submitted
to the states for ratification, but that
IA states would have already put their
stamp of approval upon it.
Representatives from all parts of
the earth are expected to be present.
Encouragement has been given by
many public officials of allied coun-
tries.
Among the notable speakers will
be Governor Whitman of New York,

THE LIQUOR INTERESTS
HAVE NOT SURRENDERED

The following item from Chicago
paper is another proof that the liquor
interests will hang on as long as there
is chance to make money out of the
business:
Tardy Bar Owners in Rush to Obtain
Saloon Licenses
George Lohmann, chief deputy city
collector, today reported rush by
tardy owners in search of licenses.
Both vets and drys expressed the
belief a few weeks ago that few ss
loonkeepers would take advantage OF
the three-month license period pro-
vided by the city council and that the
majority would go out OF business.
"'Out of 5,631 saloons in existence
before the present period, 4,213 IL
censes have been~renewed and entered
on our records said Mr.. Lohnann.
Then we have several hundred more
applications still to be passed on.
"'The approach of the end of the
war has aroused hope among the sa
loonkeepers, and they are now making
ia wild rush for this Office to get their
licenses and to continue in business.
From present indications instead of
thousand or more licenses being per
mitted to go by default, there will be
less than hundred"

The current report which has been
widely circulated in St. Louis and
throughout the country that whisky
in large quantities is being used in the
environments and army posts to COM
bat the influenza epidemic, was denied
yesterday by Rev. w. c. Shupp, SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, following a conference with
army officials at Jefferson Barracks.
Rev. Mr.. Shupp declared that Col.
Freeman, chief surgeon at Jefferson
Barracks, and other medical officers
there told him that not more than
two quarts of whisky had been used
in the treatment of more than 1000
influenza cases at the barracks, and
that absolutely none is being used at
this time.
In letter to Mr.. James ]. Doherty
president Boston Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION, Dr. William c. Woodward
health commissioner, said:
II told you then that in my judg-
ment the best medical opinion was to
the effect that alcoholic stirnulants
had no preventive action in relation
to influenza, that / wholly accepted
that opinion, and that | had no use
for any alcoholic stimulant for any
person for the prevention of inhu-
enza."
DIR. A. H. Cairns, chief medical in
spector of the Bureau of Health OF
Philadelphia, gave out an interview
concerning the use OF whisky as a
medicine, in which he says:
There are many physicians who dc
not use whisky at all in the treatment
of influenza cases. In fact, whisky has
been taken from the American
Pharmacopeia as medicine. Whisky
is an old-time remedy that has gone

If THE LEAGUE Is NOT, WHAT Is IT?

The rapidity with which territory
has gone dry makes the vets dizzy.
They are dreaming and afraid to wake
up. They try TO fool themselves and
others into believing that the present
is not so bad and the future is much
brighter for them. In letter sent
out by the Manufacturers and Dealers
Association to candidates, an attempt
is made to prove that there really is
no Anti-Saloon League. Candidates
are told to pay no attention to the
"so-called" Anti-Saloon League, be-
cause there really is no such organiza-
ton. The following is paragraph
from this letter:
"You will notice that we say So
called 'AntiSaloon League'--there is

ask him to produce credentials show
ing he is member with vote in re-
gard to the disbursement of funds and
management. No one is accepted as a
member no membership is desired.
They have no prestige; THEY CAN
NOT DELIVER"
Now that the election is over and
enough dry candidates have been
chosen to put Illinois on the list of
ratification states, how will the vets
figure out what hit them? What do
they think now of their statement that
the Anti-Saloon League (Which does
not EXIST cannot delivcsr?
