Opponents Insist
Campaign Against
Tobacco Is Coming
ID enials by Anti-Saloon
League and w. C.. Il. u. of
Drive BE ing Planned
Stir Anti-Prohibitionists

The Association Opposed to National
Prohibitions announced yesterday it
was prepared to prove that the Anti
Saloon League and the w. c. T. U. are
only awaiting the stringent enforce
ment of the dry law before joining
hands in drive to run tobacco out
Of America.
.. The campaign against tobacco, the
association says, is already prepared
and will be launched as soon as Con-
gress passes legislation to enforce pro-
hibiton.
AS proof Of the coming anti-smoke
campaign, the association quotes from
DR.. Frederick W. Romans book, "Nic-
otine Next" and says that this vol
ume, which it calls "the adopted Bible
of the campaign against tobacco" con-
demns the whole industry, root and
branch.
Quotations from this volume are
given to show that the coming drive
will spare no one. The farmer who
raises the crop, the hired hand who
picks it, the men who cure it, the
wholesaler who sells it and even the
clerk who vends it retail are all con-
demned.
The Association Opposed to National
Prohibition quotes DR.. Roman as fol-
lows:
"An individual who can be employed
in work which does not command gen
uine respect because it lacks use,
beauty and truth is constantly sub
ject to classt discrimination and to
temptations of immortality.
"This is particularly true among
young women who sell tobacco in
hotels and cigar stores. Go to any
hotel and you will find the cigar
stand iii the lobby near the barroom.
You will find the cigar Girl subjected
to the same sort of humilia ion and
insult that her older sister, the bar
maid. formerly endured
"Some one says, but don't men take
the same attitude toward women who
wait on the tables in 'hc dining
room?' My answer is, NO.
"The reason for this answer is that
Mattresses are chosen with view to
the heavy service they have to per-
form and not with d Ziegfeld eye for
we'll dressed good looks. as are tho
cigar girls. There should be law in
every S ate in the union, forbidding
women to sell tobacco on the ground
that it jeopard1es morals"
"Such,' says the statement of the
association Opposed to National
Prohibitions, "is -he line Of at-
tack in the tobacco FIGHT by the
same professional prohibitionists
who have with the aid of !,
few law makers, put prohibition and
confiscation upon an unwilling nation.
This book is the keystone of the cam
paign."
