GEORGIA

Incomplete returns, which, however,
are conclusive, give w. J. Harris, dry,
Isl counties to nine for former Senator
and Governor Hardwick, wet, in his
fight for denomination for Senator.
Congressman w. D. Upshaw, one of
the outstanding drys in the lower house,
won every county in his district. S. R..
Rutherford was nominated in the sixth
district in place of Congressman Wise,
who retired because of i'll health. In
Atlanta, Prosecuting Attorney BoyIin,
a terror to the vets, was renominated
by three to one. Clifford Walker was
renominated for governor without OPP
position.
There are many changes in legis1a-
tive nominations, but Georgia is dryer
than ever" says DR.. c. o. Jones, super
intendent of the Anti Saloon League.

MASSACHUSETTS

In Massachusetts the primaries, ac-
cording to William Nj. Forgrave, super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, re-
suited in victory for law and order. Al
van 7. Fuller, law and order candi-
date, was nominated for governor by the
Republicans, with a majority of $4,000.
Fuller is a prohibitionist personally, pa
htically and socially.
The drys gained one congressional
district and held all they had before.
The primary vote gave the vets of the
Republican party a knockout, since the
two candidates running on a more or
less dry ticket for United States sena-
tor polled two-to-one vote over an out
standing wet candidate.
Churchill, candidate for the place
made vacant by the nomination of
Speaker Gillette for Senator, is a hun
dred per cent dry, and without doubt
will be elected.
In the state senate several dry votes
were gained, and, on the face of returns,
no dry seats in the lower house were
lost.
There were no contests in the Demo-
cratic nominations.

HOLDS ALL GUILTY

Federal Judge Lindsey, at Danville,
Ill, told jury that all members of
drinking party are equally guilty of pos
session of liquor in violation of the Vol
stead Act, no matter if there is only one
bottle, and if this bottle is carried in an
automobile, all are equally guilty of
transportation. The charge to the jury
was made in case where several young
men were indicted on charges of posses
sion and transportation, during an auto
mobile JOY ride.

man. who was silent on the issue.
Redman received II 900 fewer votes
than William r. Pattangall, Democratic
candidate for governor, who declared for
enforcement.
In the first congressional district. al
though Congressman Reedy was thought
to have weakened his chances because
of his opposition to the presidential
vetoes, he was reelected by nearly 3D.,
900 over his opponent, who had declared
for beer and wine. Congressman White,
Nelson and Hersey, all for the Eight
zenith Amendment and the Volstead
Act and against wine and beer, were re-
elected.
Aroostook county defeated for sheriff
the Republican candidate, who had
record as liquor dealer, and elected
Democrat who favored enforcement
this in face of the fact that the rest of
the Republican candidates won by large
majorities.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-09-19

The drys won a notable victory in the
nomination of Mcmillan to succeed wet
Congressman Logan, thus making the
South Carolina delegation at Washing
ton unanimously dr..
All nominees for state Offices are dry.
In several sections Ct the state better
law enforcement officials were nomi-
mated. and there is not grain of COM
fort for the vets in the primary results.

SOUTH CAROLINA

Cole Blease, former governor of
South Carolina, was nominated for
United States Senator in the second pri-
maries just held. Sixty thousand regis
tered voters did not participate in the
primaries, and at the second voting there
were 10000 fewer ballots than in the
first.
Blease made a declaration in favor of
law enforcement and thus won many
votes. He conducted clean campaign,
and, according to E. M. Lightfoot, Anti
Saloon League superintendent, has the
courage and ability 70 make good.

SACKETT IS POWDER DRY
Stanley's Opponent for Senatorship
Leaves No Doubt as to His Pro-
hibition Attitude

Fred NJ. Sacl1ett, Louisville business
man, is Senator Stanley's opponent for
the United States senatorskip. Stanley
is sopping wet, and Sackett is powder
dry. An old-fashioned campaign is in
progress in the land of colonies.
Sacllett's public addresses leaves no
room for doubling as to where he
stands. In the opening speech of the
campaign he thus made clear his posi-
ton on prohibition:
| take my stand as a candidate
upon the Constitution of the United
States-all that it says and all that it
implies. The 18th amendment to the
Constitution is the law of the land
and should be strictly enforced 1t
has my unqualified and active sup
port.

aggregating $2,450 on dry law violators.
The fines ranged from 500 to $500.
While Judge Alexander is not friendly
to the dry law he does not look with APP

Here it is, coming from the states:
MICHIGAN
A great deal of interest centered on
the primaries of Michigan, held Sep
tember 9, because United States Senator
James Couzens, appoirtee of the COVER
nor, was a candidate for nomination on
the Republican ticket for both the short
and long terms, botn of which he won.
Couzens is an out-and-out advocate OF
five per cent beer His plurality was
$4,000, in a contest such as the state has
seldom seen.
According 10 r. N. Holsaple, superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League of
Michigan, Senator Couzens' nomination
was possible only because the dry
strength was divided among three cam
ddates, while Couzens was alone III his
beer advocacy. Judge Arthur J. Tuttle,
who was supported by the drys, made
magnificent showing, however, in face
of the fact that his entry into the cam
paign was late. He carried practically
the entire state except Detroit, which
city gave Couzens more than $4,000 ma
jority.
Hal w. Smith, dry candidate, with
drew from the race in Tuttle's favor,
49, 70 Of he 1axHr his
name could not be stricken from the
ballot, and he received $4,000 votes. D.
w. Tussing, the third dry candidate,
refused to withdraw, and polled $4,000.
All of these should have and would have
gone to Tuttle, Mr.. Holsaple maintains,
had futile been alone in the dry list. A
united polling in his favor would have
given him a majority over Couzens of
10000.
Indications are, Mr. Holsap1e says,
that the dry vote will go to Dean Nor
timer Cooley, at the November cleo
ton.
The drys," said Mr.. Holsaple, "can
accomplish nothing until they learn to
play the same kind Of practical politics
the vets play, and unite on one man."
