NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN.

The Anti-Saloon League has
launched q nationwide campaign
to secure a special fund of $685.
100000. This fund is to be devo-
ted to special work Of stragetic
Importance, the expense of which
can not possibly be met with the
present incomes Of the league.
The work is OF such Importance
shat to neglect it means disaster
to the prohibition cause.
Elsewhere in this Issue will be
found a summary of the budget
showing the money necessary to
fulfill the task proposed. The
purpose of the campaign is three
fold and briefly, this:
l. 70 guarantee strict enforce
ment of the prohibition laws, both
Federal and State in the United
States.
9. To assist in the overthrow Of
the liquor trafc in neighboring
counties-that is, to secure Pan
American prohibition,
3. To lend hand to the drys of
those countries Of the Eastern
hemisphere which, are of peculiar
stragetic Importance in the fight
for worldwide prohibition.
Strict enforcement of law not
only means keeping America dry,
but the extension of the dry policy
round the world.

FORCES
ON THE ALERT
ANTISALOON LEAGUE
PLANNING CAMPAIGN

That the next great fight with
the liquor element in this country
will be q national political battle
is the opinion of DR.. p. A. Baker
of Montgomery, National superb -
tendent Of the Anti Saloon League
Of America, in Atlanta attending
meeting of leading business men
OF the city who are interested in
the prohibition enforcement cam
paign.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Baker
that the attack of the liquor forces
on the eighteenth amendment in
the courts will fail as have all
their other attempts to prove the
prohibition and enforcement laws
invalid.
The liquor men realize this fact,
be believes, and are coupling po-
htical activities with their efforts
to undermine the effectiveness of
the prohibition laws by encoulag-
its violation and obtaining lax en-
forcement
