w. R. Holster, campaign manager
for Breckenridge Long, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator, issued a state
ment on what he calls the remark
able interest Of Republicans in the
Democratic nomination.
Republican politicians, he declares,
have been exerting themselves to an
extraordinary degree in endeavoring
to break down the strength of Long
in Democratic ranks. There have
been frequent reports, he says, Of
Republican plans to invade the Dem
ocratic primary. in great numbers.
Democrats in every county, he
says, are organizing to challenge
Republican voters. He points out
that no Republican can vote for q
Democratic candidate for the SEN
atorial nomination unless he use the
Democratic ballot, and a voter is moi
entitled to receive a Democratic bal,
lot without taking an obligation te
support all the Democratic nominees
The Attorney-G General has ruled thai
an election judge can refuse to take
a Democratic vote from a Republi
can who refuses to take that oath.
e'The wisdom of this precaution,'
he says, sis founded upon the we'll
known political truth that Repub-
Leans always favor the nomination
Sof the weakest Democratic candi
dates and vice versa"

BIG MEN OF
UNITED STATES
AGAINST RUN

A big issue Of the next national
political campaign, if the press cor
respondent are right, will, center
around the fight to repeal or soften
prohibition. Amy light on how the
public feels about it, then, is Of the
greatest interest. The latest poll
concentrates on fifteen hundred lead
ers in various fields Of activity and is
taken by the manufacturers Record
Of Baltimore.
OF course, it is pointed out, the list
is a selected one; the first thousand
James are those of influential men
who five years ago signed a petition
4or federal prohibition. 1t is likely,
therefore, contend "wet" a~dherents,
that they would still be in favor of
prohibition. Then there are manufac-
turers, who perhaps naturally wish
their workers to come to work Mon
day morning sober, alert and eff
cient. But there are also in the list
men who are known to be concerned
with the moral, rather than the econ
omic, benefits to be derived from pro-
hibition-college presidents, physi-
clans, surgeons. And these men vote
almost unanimously in favor Of pro-
hibition and its strict enforcement.
From Every Walk in Life.
Says the Record, in a booklet set
ting forth the results of the poll:
"These letters come from men of
national standing, men known in
every walk Of life, in the great bus
mess interests and professions. They
are in answer to a QUESTIONABLE
which we recently sent to about fif-
teen hundred manufacturers, bank
ers, college presidents and others as
to whether, in their opinion, prohibit
ton had proven a success, and what
has been the result in their own ex-
perience and among the men in their
employ"
A compilation by the Record gives
the following results in percentage
to the TOTAL:
