TO
MAKE AIR CAMPAIGN
Nominees Are Notified of Their
Selection.

Germantown. Ohio. Aug 11.-Be-
fore an enthusiastic crowd of neigh
bors, admirers and party adherents
that overlooked the athletic field at
Miami Military Institute here tonight
the Rev Aaron s. Watkins, standard
bearer of the Prohibition party, and
d Leigh Colvin. his running mate,
formally accepted their nominations,
both asserting enforcement of pro-
hibition laws, and especially the Vol
stead act. are vital issues of the cam
paign.
ITO us the supreme question of the
year is not equal suffrage. the League
of Nations. labor, Mexico or Armenia,
nor any of the minor questions on
which all agree, but the entire ex-
tinction of the liquor traffic" said Mr..
Watkins in his acceptance speech.
Notwithstanding that we have pro-
hibition in the Constitution, both poll
teal party conventions have, refused
to assume the responsibility for the
maintenance of the Volstead enforce
ment law. without which the constitu-
tional amendment is impotent,' de-
clared Mr.. Colvin.
The candidates will carry the gos-
pei of their party into every section
of the country by airplane. Decis-
ion for the air campaign was reach
ed late this afternoon by the national
executive committee after an all day
session.
