The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1920-01-16

IN the early stages Of the fight for
4 national prohibition the states Of the
south took the lead and have main.
tanned It In all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
In death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun-
try.
/, AS a section the south was the first
to clear itself Of the stain Of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
In giving it's moral and financial sup
port In the successful battles which
other sections Of the country have
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
lea with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January 1s.
And now the south is called upon to
take the lead In the Prohibition En-.
forcement Campaign under the direc-
ton Of Il. Y. Clarke, OF Atlanta, which
comes as logical and absolutely nee
essary result OF the enactment OF pro
hibition laws, both state and national.
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"Finish the Job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
fish the job" has become the slogan
and the watchword Of those In charge
OF the campaign to enforce prohibition
In this country. The speed and ef-
fectiveness with which this work Is
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent Of the CO.
operation Of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing Of the prohibition laws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still a vast
amount OF work TO be done before
the liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat-
ed out OF business, II Is making de-
termined effort to come back, and IL
Is the purpose OF the Prohibition d.
forcement Campaign to see that II
doesn't come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
to the constitution was passed we'll
meaning friends Of Prohibition said:
-Our nation COW Is legally dry: the
cause OF prohibition has triumphed /:
the fight Is won and we are through
with IT,"
The Intensive campaign OF the liquor
interests to nullify Prohibition Is ske
answer. Their propaganda organiza-
ton has been equalled only By that Of
the German government

SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
IN FINAL FIGHT WITH LIQUOR TRAFFIC
SevenDay Campaign for Funds Begin January 6 When National

the Job-World Dry by 1890 Aim


Even the most casual reader Of the
news Of the day realizes that Prohibi-
tion has its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic Is waging at the polls,
In the courts and In the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight In its history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that Is necessary Ia a
glance around you. Reports are COM
ing daily of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous connections sold
under the guise Of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called blind
tigers" were never so pronounced In
the history of the country as at the
present time.
EIIhu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
Is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev-
cry means in their power to make Pro-
hibition a by.word and to make con-
ditions under Prohibition SO intolera-
BILE and the violations Of the law so
fragrant and the lack OF law enforce
ment 90 notorious that the people will
become Disguised with the situation
and demand q return to the licensed
saloon.
II is the plan and purpose Of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, In
so far a. America - concerned, to ac-
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro
hibition forces now will turn their ct
tention to legislation against tobacco.
tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash R
Broyles. chief justice Of the Georgia
Court Of Appeals, says:
The agitation as to prohibition Of
tobacco Is camouflsge to handicap the
enforcement Of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the Of.
feet that the Anti-Saloon League Ia
backing an anti-tobacco campaign Is
entirely unfounded."
The prohibition campaign asks moth
ing more nor less than enforcement
OF the Prohibition laws already on the
statute books and the enactment of
further legislation to strengthen them.
The campaign does not propose to

THE national prohibition headauar-
tiers in Chicago has issued a statement
making a serious attack on the record
OF Senator Harding. the Republican can
didate for President, so far as the wet
and dry issue is concerned. Aaron S.
Watkins, the prohibition candidate for
President, declare that he has been un-
able to find any instance where Sena-
tor Harding voted with the drys. On
the contrary, the figures show that he
voted with the vets on thirty different
occasions. For instance, he voted
against prohibition in the District Of
Columbia. He also voted against pro-
bition in Porto Rico. Moreover he cast
several votes against wartime prohi-
hibition and spoke at length against it.
In August, 1917, he supported the Reed
amendment which provided that Con-
gress should have no power to enforce
the eighteenth amendment until it had
made provision for compensating liquor
manufacturers and dealers for the loss
sustained by them through the closing
OF their business. 1t was Senator Hard
ing who introduced the six year clause,
which the vets confidently p,
would defeat the measure. His vote
for the submission OF the amendment
was accompanied by speech in which
ne announced his opposition to it, and
his vote was merely his consent to al
low the people Of the several States to
settle the question.
