/ done depends almost entirely upon
the moral and financial support and
cooperation Of those who have made
possible the results so far achieved.
Calling to the South.
THE Prohibition forces are calling
now to the South to finish the job.
Here, where Prohibition was Graded.
is the place to set the pace and blaze
the way for the balance of tie nation
and the world.
This campaign does not propose to
interfere with individuals; it is wag-
ing no war on tobacco; it is driving
only toward enforcement of the law
already on the statute books and the
enactment of others that may be
necessary to reinforce them.
1T is intended primarily as cam
! paign Of education. Literature to
counterfeit the propaganda of the vets
is being disseminated, meetings will
be held and dry candidates will be
supported against those OF the vets
/ Tor avery political office from presi-
dent downward.
OFFICERS charged with enforcement
Of tho Prohibition laws viii be en-
courased and upheld 80 long as they
do their fun duty and those who are
lax viii be vigorously opposed at the
| polls"
In addition to the great work of
law enforcement and combating the
liquor propaganda In this country
there is the greater task of carrying
the war on liquor traffic into other
countries.
World Dry BY 1880.
World Prohibition by 1880 is the
aim of the dry forces.
Routed from America, many of the
dist.llers and brewers are planning to
resume their business in China and
other countries where the liquor traf-
| ftc still holds sway Already liquor
runners are preparing to bring liquor
into this country by airpIane from
Cuba, Mexico and the West Indies.
All these countries and those of
Europe and Central and South Amer
lea are calling to us for aid. We must
see that they are not disappointed.
| They see what we have accomplished
here and they are looking to us to
show them the way.
ITO successfully combat the efforts
OF the liquor interest at home, to heed
the cali for help from China and the
other countries where the liquor in
terests are seking to become intrench-
ed and also to carry Prohibition to the
entire world by the time set-193o-
will require large expenditure Of
| funds.
Necessity Is Obvious.
ID. J. CAN'T, recently placed in
charge of Prohibition enforcement in
the South, declares the government
appropriation for this purpose for 1920
10 woefully insufficient and that 1t
will be impossible fer the federal gov.
ernment to take over all the respon-
sibp1ty.
There is no doubt that this cam
| paign for funds, with It's purposes
clearly understood and the pressing
necessity for its success obvious. will
receive the active support of a large
percentage of the people of the South.
ct vitality concerns the business
man from whose employees the temp
tation of strong drink has been re-
moved, and 1t also vitality concerns
the mothers of this country, whose
sons, now growing to manhood, will
never know the debasing influence of
the saloon"
