Three men were elected bishops OF

AT the observance of the ami
versary of the board temperance
prohibition and public morals to-
night, Clarence True Wilson of
Washington, D. c., said that If any
political party shall put into its
platform a wet plank, lit will find
II a mighty slippery board TO run
on, and its candidates will fulfill
that scripture which says The feet
of the wicked stand in slippery
places"
William II. Anderson, superin-
tendent of the New York anti |
saloon league, placed his argument
in favor of prohibition on the fact |
that financial conditions have been |
improved thereby. He made the |
financial prediction that prohibi-
tion, will be the major factor in |
preventing ruinous financial |
panic in the United States. The
frequent turnover in legitimate
business of the two billions of dol
lars saved every year, the steady
ing influence of sobriety in solving
the problem of production and the
of its most deadly en-
envy so that the church can fulfill
its mission, will enable America to
stand upright and move slowly but
forward, he added.
He stated that the republican
party became great because 1t
stood for moral issue and against
a half century ago,
but that it will disintegrate and die
ignobly if at this date it joins the
enemies of mankind and the ranks
of the nullificationists. He stated
further that the liquor interests
have been assured by the wet ma
chine managers of both major
parties that no enforcement plank
will be enacted which will inter
fere with their attempt to elect a
wet congress, and warned the re-
publican voters against reactionary
leaders.
