World Watching Chicago

From the standpoint OF the world
Prohibition movement Illinois is
looked upon as strategic point
Law enforcement in Chicago IS de-
pendent upon control of the state
government and the success of law
enforcement in Chicago will have Z
vitally important influence upon tho
future of the Prohibition movement
in other countries.
The legislative primaries on Sep
tembcr Is will be the storm center oi
the wet fight The reasons are plain
In the first place under the Illinois
system nomination is equivalent to
election almost invariably. In Other
words if a majority of the legislative
candidates nominated are vets it will
be practically impossible to win ]
dry majority at the elections i'll Nov
ember. In the second place the con-
troll of the legislature is the key to
the entire wet and dry situation in
Illinois. If the vets control it will
have two important effects. 1t will
indicate reaction against Prohibi-
ton. This apparent reaction will in
huence Congress in its stand on beer
and wine. 1t will also influence law
enforcement throughout Illinois even
though no change in the federal law

Will Speak in Medinah Tenn
pie on Sunday June Il
FAMOUS DRY FIGHTER
TO TELL EXPERIENCE
Was Famous Before Losing an Eye
To Make England Dry
WILL EXPOSE THE Wet PLANS

What is expected to be one of the
greatest mass meetings in the his
tory of the dry fight will take place
at the Medinah Temple in Chicago
on Sunday, June 27, at 3 p. m. The
speaker will be VIM. L. Johnson,
known the world over as "Pussyfoot"
Johnson. He will relate HIS thrilling
experiences in England and other
countries where he has been for al
most two years at the lrvitation OF
various temperance organizations.
Most OF Johnsons work as a witness
testifying relative to Prohibition in
America was done in England In
that country the liquor interests at
first refused to take seriously the
prospect Of Prohibition. Recent press
dispatches, however, state that the
brewers and distillers of Great Brit
ain have raised fund OF four mil
lion dollars to fight "pussyfootism.
William Eugene (PussyfooD John
son is a native New Yorker. He was
born in that state March Is, 1862.
Always a Prohibtionst, he was
identified with the third party for
years, until he became convinced that
the non-partisan, nter-denomination-
al plan of the Anti-Saloon League
was the plan that ultimately would
win. He came actively into the work
of the League in 1912, though before
that time he had done great deal Of
work for and with state and local or
ganizations of the League.
Johnson has always been a news
paper and publicity man. His style
has been the vigorous. assertvc, ag-
gressivc style, more or less polemic,
always attacking the liquor strong
hold, but, at the same time, giving
his opponents credit for whatever
honesty of purpose they possessed.
For years he was editor of the New
York Voice, Prohibition organ. He
also did other editorial and invcstiga-
ton work for the Funk and Wagnalls
interests, who sent him abroad for
data and special articles. He has
travelled in practically every civilized
country on the globe.
During the Roosevelt administra-
ton Johnson was appointed special
+j,o
mcnt Of the Interior, with the job of
suppressing the liquor traffic among
the Indians. During that spectacular
and resultful experience he closed
thousands of saloons, put more than
5000 men in Jail, was himself several
times locked up by local officials
made himself the everlasting friend
of the Indians, and brought around
to his actual support many of the
bad" men of the west and south
west
He was the starter of the one-half
of one per cent idea as limit for al
coholic content under Prohibition
This limit he succeeded in making
the law of Oklahoma, and it has since
become the limit in many states and
in the Ntolstead Federal code
The nickname "Pussyfoot" was
given him while he was in Federal
service. He was so catlike in many
of his enterprises that the wicked
fed when no man pursued but often
did not Ace when Pussyfoot pursued,
for the very good reason that they
didn't know he was on the pursuing
job.

benefit to the wcrs With the control
OF the legislature on the other hand
the vets would be in position to
benefit regardless pf other dry VIC
tories and also in \ position. to take
full advantage of any possible wet
victories such as the election of
wet president or a wet Congress.
The vets having chosen their bat
tie ground the dry5 now have no
choice but must fight to protect Pro-
hibiton by voting on September Is
for endorsed dry candidates for the
legislature.
Wet Campaign on Full Blast
The wet interests have their can
didates already in the field in most
of the districts in which they see a
chance 10 win in the legislative fight
In many cases these candidates are
keeping quiet about their wet con-
nections They seek to cover their
wet purposes by making a noisy CAM
paign on other issues. In other dis
tricts the vets are out openly CAM
paigning for the legislature on beer
and wine platform. By holding their
old wet strength on beer and wine
campaign, and in addition sneaking
few vets into the legislature under
the cover of other issues the wet
leaders hope to win a majority.
Active in Other Fields
In the congressional field the vets
have commenced an active fight.
Months ago they announced that
fight would be made in every dis
trict for men who would vote in
Congress to amend the Nolstead act
by permitting beer and wine. In the
presidential campaign the vets of the
nation are depending on Illinois to
help put wet into the White House.
At their recent state convention the
wet leaders in the Democratic party
decided not to put a wet plank into
the state platform, but to fight for
such a plank at San Francisco. A
leading Chicago wet was placed on
the national platform committee to
represent Illinois. In Chicago, and
Cook county it is planned to put a
solid wet ticket in the field in the
Democratic party in case the presi-
dental candidate on that ticket favors
beer and wine. With the aid of wet
Republicans, in this case it is planned
to control the county government in
furtherance of the great wet conspir-
acy to nullify the Eighteenth Amend
ment. In many dry cities throughout
Illinois wet mayors and wet police
chiefs have been slipped quietly into
office, and in wet cities the officials
are planning to retain control to use
their local official and political power
in cooperation with the state and ma
tional liquor organization.
September IS to Decide
In all the various phases of the wet
and dry fight the vets do not and
the drys should not lose sight OF
the fact that the legislature is the
most important element in the politi-
cal situation. City and county Off
cials are subject to the state law.

Illinois has been selected as the
main battle ground of the vets III an
effort to nulify the Eighteenth

ton for various reasons. from a
national standpoint the vets wish to

inal thirty-six and the only large
state to pass law enforcement meas

gain the balance of power in the ma
ton. With Chicago the second city
in the nation as well as manly other
large cities formerly wet including
Peoria, and East St. Louis the vets
see a better chance to win Illinois
than any other large state. Further
