De NY LINCOLN s
OPPOSITION TO
THE DRY CAUSE
Ministers Present Affidavit
to Show Alleged Quota
ton of Former President
is False.
(B, The Associated Prest.)

Chicago, July 6.-Denial that
Abraham Lincoln had once declar-
ed himself as opposed to prohibi-
ton was made here today by the
Rev. Duncan c. Miner, associat
minister of the Presbyterian church
a civil war veteran. and chaplain
of the LOYAL legion.
In a statement intended to refute
the claim of certain wet organs
that the immortal Lincoln had
ever lent even a hint of approval
to the liquor traffic, DR.. Miner
made public an affidavit signed by
three acknowledgement men, set
ting forth that an alleged quota
ton from Lincoln which was used
in a local option campaign in Geor-
gia in 1887 was an admitted fraud,
The affidavit, signed by the Rev.
Sam Small, evangelist; Rev. Sam
Jones, and Henry w. Grady, de-
clares that some time after the
campaign, Colonel John B. Good
win, who had been the director OF
the anti-prohibition forces, told
that he himself had composed the
alleged words of Lincoln so as tc
attract the adhesion of the colored
voters"
The alleged statement of Lin
coins views were set forth in a cir
cular widely Lroadcasted in the
campaign and did much to defeat
the local option measure by win
ming over the entire colored vote to
the side of the "wets," DR.. Miner
explained.
The Fake Statement.
The words credited to Lincoln,
but since admitted to be those OF
another, were:
"Prohibition will work great in
Jury to the cause Of temperance
1t is a species of intemperance 1t,
self, for it goes beyond the bounds
of reason in that it attempts to
control mans appetite by legisla-
ton and in making crimes out OF
things that are not crimes.
"A prohibitory law strikes a blow
at the very principles on which our
government was founded. l have
always been found laboring to pro-
tect the weaker classes from the
stronger, and | can never give my
consent to such law as you pro-
pose to enact. Until my tongue be
silenced in death, l will continue to
fight for the rights Of man."

CIVIL WAR HAS
ERIN IN GRASP
SAYS De VALERA
Republican Leader Says
Provisional Government,
Backed BY England, Is
Military Dictator.
(By The Associated press.)

London, July (by the Associa-
ted Press) .-Eamonn de Valera,
the republican leader, in mes
sage addressed to the people of the
United States, declares the pact
between the Irish parties has been
torn up, that civil war has broken
out. that the dali eireann is not al
lowed to meet and that the provi-
sional government has assumed a
military dictatorship. supported by
the British big guns
'The danger to Ireland which
feared most and warned our peo-
pie of--civil war-has come upon
u.s." says Mr.. de Valera in his mes
sage. Soldiers of the army of the
republic have been attacked by
forces of the provisional govern
ment at the instigation of English
politicians who wanted an imme-
diate set-off to the shooting of Sir
Henry Wilson in order to avert
from themselves political conse-
quences which they feared.
1.-The political pact between the
Irish parties which had insured
peaceful elections, which could
have secured the unity of the Irish
army, and which was the only
hope of maintaining peace. was or
dered to be torn up, although the
pact had been ratified by the ma
tional assembly and by the national
convention of the Sim Fein.
Dictatorship Exists.
1.-THE dali eireann has not been
allowed to meet and the provi-
sional government. relying upon
the English powers. has unconsti-
tutionally assumed military die
tatorship and with English big
guns, English ammunition and
English methods of press censor
ship and false propaganda, has
made war on the voluntary soldiers
of Ireland, who are simply keeping
their oath to the republic and pre-
venting the sovereign independ-
ence of their country from being
surrendered.
1.-THE Irish people want repub-
lie. They do not want an English
king as their king or an English
governor general or an English
privy councillor as legal super
visors. Under threat of renewal
of the infamous war, many of our
people have been induced to give
an appearance Of submission. but
there are men and women who
will never submit and who will
never pretend to give an allegiance
which it Is not their intention to
surrender and all these today send
their Fluctuations to the great re-
public of America and their greet
ings to the descendants of those
whose faithfulness to the cause of
independence in some of the DARK
hours that succeeded 1875 won for
America the proud position she
now enjoys. .
