National Convention
to Take Small Notice
ofGovernor Edwards
His Aspirations and His Promi-
hence TO Be Confined to His
Own Locality.

WesterEslle, o., Eeh- -29.-The San
Francisco convention. the Anti-Saloon
says. will not give serious considera-
ticn to Governor Edwards and his fol-
lowers. In the opinion Of dry lead,
ers the Jersey executive is talking
mainly for home consumption and
to get a SORT OF notoriety OYER the
country.
Edwards cannot keep Mr.. Bryan
from the convention" the statement
CT the league says mo more can he
silence the voices of other Democrat
ic champions Of law and order. There
were days, before prohibition went
into effect when Edwards arguments
might have had weight with many
persons in all political parties Not
now, however.
Prohibition is fact and a fine
fact. 1t is here to stay. The DEM
ocratic party Is in and wants to stay
in. The Republicans have been out
and want badly to get in. That party
which gives any head to the supreme
pleas Of the ives. will commit polit-
ical hari kerr. Neither Democrats
noF Republicans will listen to- the
friends of booze.
Nevertheless, though the league
possesses this confidence ii does not
purposes to shut its eyes to possible
danger. Over-confidence is a sin as
well as a piece of foolishness. The
league has it's sleeves rolled up to
fight Edwards or any other Democrat
or Republican who talks about back
ward steps in the matter of prohibi-
ton.
'sThe league Is not interested In the
success or def/at OF any political
party as such. What it is Interested
in is the nomina ton and election of
~ <l-.t Fs.~~ x<f4S Nv
OF the United States down to town
ship constable, who are four-square
for enforcement.
'AOf course Edwards cannot be nom
mated. OF course he viii not control
the Democratic convention. OF
course he won't get far with his
liquor propaganda But he has some
and over the country there are a lot
of aspirants in all political parties
who, taking the Edwards case. will
swell UP as pouter pigeons and pro-
claim themselves champions OF per-
sonal liberty and the rights of states.
Some of those aspirants may get on
ballots now and then, here and there
and 1t will be up to the good citizen
ship OF the country to get them retired
to political Cultivation.
The league expects nothing else
than to have TO fight men OF the Ed
wards belief here and there over
the country for years. 1t is not fear
tut OF results in the end. but It
| knows that In only proper vigilance
Is there absolute safety.
