Legislative Endorsements

A complete list OF legislative endorsements made by
the An-Saoon League is printed in this number OF the
Issue These endorsements should be carefully studied
and faithfully followed by dry voters. State enforce
legislation is the most important factor in the fight
TO uphold the Eighteenth Amendment Without ade-
quate state laws placing power into the hands of local
officials enforcement would be difficult and at times inn
possible. But with effective state laws prohibition
be enforced anywhere in Illinois.
The vets have made twoyear campaign to elect rep
resentaves who will vote to repeal the Illinois prohibi-
ton act. Two years ago they came within two votes in
the lower House Of passing a repeal They
have spent years and great deal OF money to
ture two additional the coming election.
In addition protecting the Illinois prohibition act in
both Houses of the Legislature it is necessary to have
dry majority in both Houses the passage of
necessary appropriations and additional legislation to
strengthen enforcement
Readers OF the Issue urged not only to follow the
League endorsements but to men and women
voters in their communities the support OF endorsed
candidates at the polls November 4.

What Are League Endorsements?

The legislative endorsements OF the Ant-Saoon
League the most important factors in the fight
for prohibition enforcement. These are some of the
points that should be clearly understood by all who
pend the Anti Saoon League for leadership in this
fight.
League endorsements made by the headquarters
committee OF the Anti Saloon League in cooperation
with the state superintendent and the field organization
The headquarters committee is appointed do this work
by the state board of hundred which has been elected
by the various church and temperance groups of the
state. Accordingly n-Saloon League endorsements
represent not the opinions OF few individuals but the
best judgment of the direct representatives of the church
and temperance forces of Illinois The judgment of the
combined temperance forces naturally deendab1e
than the word of any individual The temperance
united under the leadership of the League have facilities
for weighing candidates beyond the facilities possessed
by any individual Furthermore, given to
an organization are likely to be lived up than
promises made to individual In every campaign
candidates strive the approval of dry
and then such individual local endorsement in fur
therance of their campaign When the comes they
break faith with the individual without any particular po-
litcal harm to themselves. League endorsements are
made with reference to the legislative program of the
dry forces For candidate be called call himself
dry nothing. Many advocates of beer and wine
call themselves dry. But for candidate receive the
endorsement of the An-Saloon League means that he is
favorable to the definite program agreed by repre-
sentatives of the temperance forces of the state.
Anti Saloon League endorsements are absolutely non
partisan and non-factona They not influenced by
personal or local friendships animoses. They are
based solely upon the candidates record attitude on
the prohibition enforcement program There are still
great many in the who believe that if can
ddate happens to be total abstane that he can be re-
he'd upon regardless OF other considerations, support
the dry legislative program AS a matter of fact many
of the most skiul leaders of the are personally
total abstainers. Usually non-drnkng vets seek dry
votes the strength of their temperate habits but after
they elected they vote and work for the program of
the liquor interests From every standpoint the legis1a
tive endorsements of the Ant-Sa1een League are the
most reliable guide who favor law enforcement
Every real dry will place the dry above local. per-
sona party considerations. The most certain and
effective way uphold the dry to support egs-
ative candidates endorsed by the Anti-Saoon League
thereby sustaining the Eighteenth Amendment to tie
Constitution.

Congressional Endorsements

Illinois is one OF the states selected by the organized

vote to repeal the Vostead and oppose all federal

Cause and Effect

The Waukegan Sun reports the arrest of bootlegger
by North Chicago police and states that he was fined
5000 and costs. The item reports that the North
Chicago police arrested 10 for drunkenness
the week end. This proves again that the fine" sys
tenn is poor system of law enforcement If the boot
leggers had been compelled spend six months in jail
instead of small percentage of their liquor profits there
would have been less drunkenness.
