BOOTLE:GGERS' LOBBY
FIGHTS DRY REPEAL,
D|S|NUKE DECLARES

Saying that any repeal of the
state prohibition law would flood
the state with liquor and drag prices
down, Georgia. bootleggers are or
ganizing a lobby to work against
any repeal move at the 1923 session
of the general assembly, according
to information reaching the office
of Federal Director f. D. Dismuke.
The agents whoh contributed this
startling information say it is au
thentic. The bootleggers, they de-
clare, want both the state and fed
eral prohibition laws, arguing that
enforcement of both statutes tends
to check the supply and push UP
the price.
The lobby which, it is reported,
will operate in behalf of prohibition
at the general assembly. will be
supported by llevies on bootleggers
numbered in the association. A
"fee" of fifty cents will be added
to each quart sold, according to
the agents report to Mr.. Dismuke.
There was a convention of boot
leggers from all parts of the state
in Atlanta last week, according to
information obtained by the agents.
At this gathering, it is reported,
tentative organization plan was
worked out and decision to support
the unusual lobby was reached.
eve need both state and federal
prohibition laws" was the sentiment
voiced at the unusual convention"
according to federal agents, who
have been getting grapevine" re-
ports on its proceedings,
Such a lobby would be the most
unusual and extraordinary in the
history Of legislative gatherings, it
is pointed out. 1t would furnish the
spectacle of men who deriving a
livelihood out of a law condemned
by their patrons. fighting to main
tain the measure on the statute
books, say Mr. DiSmukc's agents.

was elected states attorney, that they
could lord it over the decent citizens
Or Chicago and run this big town to
SUIT themselves. For several months
prior to that election gambling dens
and other hellholes ran wide open in
the second ward and fighting whisky
was much freer than water and dur
ing the evening and even in the day
time the toughest and the most un-
diserable element among the colored
men spent their time in marching up
and down State street and on the
other streets shouting for Col. Maclay
Hoyne for States Attorney, making
life miserable for the decent and the
law abiding colored people; at, that
very time il was very dangerous for
any respectable woman, white or col
ored to walk from 35th and State
street, to 31st and State street without
being insuIted a thousand times and
possibly held up and robbed Of her
money and other belongings.
Notwithstanding those horrible and
revolving and we might say rotten
conditions which existed at that time
in what i called the Black belt, to
his everlasting shame, Col DePriest
and his short sighted associates loyal
" supported Col. Maclay Hoyne for
States Attorney and at the election
Col DePriest and his highly honored
associates come within one and sixty
two votes Of transferring the second
ward from the Republican column
over into theaDemocratie column for
the sole benefit Of Col Hoyne
