Anti-Saloon League
Meeting Contagious
Enthusiasm of Delegates Resem-
bled Scenes at Revivals as
Officials are Scored.

Joining with delegates from every
county of New Jersey, a number OF
men and women of this city were in
Trenton on Thursday attending the
convention called by the Anti-Saloon
League. The meeting was held with
much the same enthusiasm that marks
a revival meeting. AS state and ma
tional officials were scored by the
several speakers, there were shouts of
approval and Kisses when anything
that was of a wet" nature was re-
ferred to.
Not satisfied with the money that is
now being spent in trying to enforce
the prohibition law, the meeting pro-
posed to suggest that the United
States Army be called upon to police
the borders of the country to prevent
the flood of liquor which is deluging
the country at this time.
Resolutions were passed calling for
the stopping of rum-running along the
Jersey coast at any cost, and if the
slower ships of the DRY Navy" could
not do it, to call out the heavier and
swifter vessels of the United States
navy.
There's not a wetter man in the
state, not even p GOFeTHOr
Edwards himself" said former Demo-
cratic Senator William C. Gebhardt,
of Hunterdon. A dry, referring to
Senator Edge. 1.-Two years from now
the Democrats will I'll a wet for
United States Senator and the chanc-
es are that the Republican party will,
too" This prophesy was Kissed by
the convention and there were cries
that in such case neither "wet" would
be elected. The resolutions drawn up
by the committee also contained at
tacks OF Governor Silzer's light wines
and beer suggestion in his message.
The resolutions also called for the
reorganization of the enforcement Off
GERS under a separate department and
to be controlled by civil service in
stead of having them, as now, under
the Treasury Department.
A few of the delegations, particular
ly Atlantic and Hudson, bore signs
with facetious captions. Hudson's del
egation had a sign intimating that
there were a few dry" left in that
county, while Atlantic's delegation
was responsible for the information
that Atlantic County was wet only
around the edge.
