cooperation Of those who have made
possible the results 80 far achieved.
Calling to the South.
The Prohibition forces are calling
now to the South to finish the Job.
HsCe, whore Prohibition was Graded,
IL the place to set the pace and blaze
the way for the balance Of the nation
and the world.
This campaign does not propose to
interfere With individuals; 1t Il wag-
ing 20 war on tobacco; It is driving
only toward enforcement Of the law
already ON the statute BOOKS and tho
enactment q others that may be
necessary to reinforce them.
TT Is intended primarily az a cam
paign Of education. Literature to
counteract the propaganda Of the vets
Is being disseminated, meetings will
be held and dry candidates will be
supported against those Of the vets
for every Political office from presi-
dent downward.
Officers charged with enforcement
OF the Prohibition laws will be en-
eouraged and upheld so long as they
do their full duty and those who are
lax will be vigorously opposed at the
polls"
I'm addition to the great work of
law enforcement and combating the
liquor propaganda in this country
there is the greater task of carrying
the war on liquor traffic into other
countries.
World Dry BY 1880.
World Prohibition by 1880 is the
aim of the dry forces.
Routed from America, many of the
distillers and brewers are planning to
resume their business in China and
other countries where the liquor traf-
fic still holds sway. Already liquor
runners are preparing to bring liquor
into this country by airplane from
Cuba, Mexico and the West Indies.
"All these countries and those of
Europe and Central and South Amer
lea are calling to us for aid We must
see that they are not disappointed.
They see what we have accomplished
here and they are looking to us to
show them the way.
ITO successfully combat the efforts
Of the liquor interest at home, to heed
the call for help from China and the
other countries where the liquor in
/ terests are seking to become intrench-
ed and also to carry Prohibition to the
entire world by the time set-1930-
will require a large expenditure OF
funds.
Necessity Is Obvious.
ID. J. Can't, recently placed in
charge of Prohibition enforcement in
the South, declares the government
appropriation for this purpose for 1920
IL woefully insufficient and that it
will be impossible for the federal gov.
eminent to take over all the respon-
sibility.
There is no doubt that this cam
paign for funds, with its purposes
clearly understood and the pressing
necessity for its success obvious, will
receive the active support Of a large
percentage of the people Of the South.
ut vitality concerns the business
man from whose employees the temp
tation Of strong drink has been re-
moved, and it also viSally concerns
the mothers Of this country, whose
sons, now growing to manhood, will
never know the debasiDg influence Of
