THE experiment Of even partially
enforced prohibition" he said, has
been 80 eminently satisfactory and
the demonstrations Of moral and in

Mr. Watkins ran on the Prohibition
ticket in 1908 and 1912 as its candi-

professor of English in a school at

The prohibition keynote speaker
emphasized the interest Of the prohi-

that "the whole country desires the
league Of nations, ''and that IL would
finally be adopted, but he characteriz-

Of autocracy" and said his plan could
not be adopted without radical re-
vision"
On prohibition Mr.. Watkins said :
When we inquire Of the leaders Of
the two major parties why an iron

from each Of the party platforms. we
are blandly informed that the ques-

pleaded for such a plank, they saiG
that il never can be settled, or at
any rate, il is too soon 10 make the
fight. Now it il too late to mention
the subject wonder when would
have been the psychological moment
that the question Of prohibition would
have been strictly up to date.
This is subterfuge of course.

declaration of war does not conquer
