easily paid are not punishment. Without
punishment prohibition is ineffective. 1t
is the duty of judges to punish wrongdo-

LEAGUE ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE
LEGISLATURE ISSUED BY COMMITTEE
Continued from Page y

Continued from Page u
In the past quite number of candidates
for the legislature have sought dry sup
port on the ground that they favored
beer and wine which would, according to
their claims, result in better enforcement
of the 18th Amendment. Long experience
has proven that there is only one reliable
guarantee and guide for the dry voter
and that is the endorsement of the ANTI
Saloon League. The purpose of giving
organized dry support to legislative cam
didates is to secure votes for dry legisla-
ton. Accordingly the attitude of candi-
dates on the particular legislation agreed
upon by the dry forces is the only relia-
bic test
League Non-partisan and Non-factional
Anti-Saloon League endorsements are
absolutely non-partisan and non-fac-
tional. They are made without regard
for the party connections of the candidate
and based solely upon that candidates
record and attitude on the prohibition
question. The Anti-Saioon League is not
concerned with the success or failure of
any faction or any party. 1t is organized
purely for the purpose of bringing about
the destruction of the liquor traffic and
therefore opposes vets and supports drys
regardless of their party or factional affil-
iations.
Dry Votes vitality Important
Every voter who favors prohibition en-
cb0,,1J for 4ha ;e1o
candidates in their districts who are en-
dorsed by the Anti-Saioon League. Pro-
hibition enforcement is the most impor-
tant issue before the state. Non-enforce-
ment will cost the state more and en-
forcement will bring the state more than
anything else to be decided upon by the
voters at the ballot box The liquor
forces with all their tremendous power
and influence have determined to secure
the repeal of the Illinois prohibition act.
Immediately after the roll call on the re-
peal bill in the last session of the legisla-
ture when they came within two votes of
victory in the lower house. the vets COM
menced their campaign to win a wet ma
jority in the coming election. In addi-
ton to the vital importance of retaining
the Illinois prohibition act to make en-
forcement possible ether legislation is
needed. Furthermore it is very impor-
tant that appropriations be granted by
the legislature for the use of officials in
enforcement work. Even though they
should control majority in only one of
the houses of the legislature the vets
could defeat appropriation bills and thus
cripple enforcement to a serious extent
In future numbers of the American
Issue between now and election day
further endorsements will be published.
These endorsements will also be distrib-
uted in circular form throughout every
district in which there is a wet and dry
contest.

One of the worst pieces OF wet propa-

the heading of National Prohibition

eminent printing Office in Washington, ID.
c., and distributed at public expense under
the frank of Congressman Britten. While
this is strictly legal il seems peculiar
to have the United States government at
tackled by means of its own printing plant
and its system of carrying printed matter
free of charge for Congressman. Mr. Brit
tons address contains false or misleading
statements in practically every paragraph.
He makes use OF the common wet trick OF
quoting statistics comparing one dry year
with another instead of comparing dry
years with wet years. For example he
shows by figures that there has been an
increase in arrests for drunkenness in San
Francisco and Los Angeles in 1923 as
compared with 1920 He does not, how
ever, quote figures going back to the wet
era. Britten's speech also contains the
quotation from Abraham Lincoln SO often
exposed as pure forgery in recent years.

The above mentioned methods of wet
propaganda being worked to the limit
prior to the election, are III addition to the
direct propaganda continuously being sent
out by the liquor interests and various
wet organizations. The Association OPP
posed to the Prohibition Amendment has
its own publication and distributes large
quantities of anti-enforcement literature.
The most extensive wet publicity circu-
lated by the liquor interests and affiliated
associations appears in the form of inter-
views and news articles published in news
papers throughout the country. Some of
this material is credited to officials of wet
organizations but much of it contains
nothing to indicate its origin. Two of the
most skillful press agents in the United
States are said upon reliable authority to
