"Drys" Told to
Keep Up Fight
For Law Enforcement

Chicago, Nov. 7-(AP)-A group Of
federal officials, advocates and en-
forcers of the Volstead law, today
advised the Anti-Saloon League con-
vention to continue it's fight to keep
America dry, and to preserve self
government and the constitution
The reports of those in closest touch
with the enforcement law, and their
advice on prohibition problems, were
received with keen attention and
bursts of applause, especially hearty
whenever the name of Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, holder of the
highest public Office occupied by
woman, was mentioned.
Three United States senator's. the
head of the enforcement branch OF
the government, the commandant OF
the coast guard, a federal judge and
a district attorney comprised today's
official advisers of the Anti-Saloon
Leaguers.
At the close of the session, the
voice of William Jennings Bryan, de-
livering a speech on 1.-THE Ideal Re-
public" came from photograph.
All the federal officials were agreed
that liquor enforcement and obser-
vance are rapidly squelching the
bootleg traffic, but appeals were fire.
quently heard for the leaguers to Gre
ate and to reawaken a strong public
sentiment for enforcement of the law
by local officers.
The drys were advised to take tip
from the personal liberty shouters"
by agitating for more complete local
self government, to perpetuate the
American principles Of democratic
government.
"There are too many people now
running to congress for laws which
the local police and judiciary ought
to be enforcing under state and mu-
nicipal regulations" sail Edwin A.
Olson, federal district attorney for
northern Illinois.
He urged the convention especially
to prevent passage of a federal gun
law, to procure repeal of the federal
motor car theft law and similar leg
islation covering such acts as steal
ing from freight cars.
I'VE are no longer going to receive
such cases as petty bootleg arrests"
he said. You folks want to show
your intestinal fortitude and when
your local officials will not clean up
your communities, burn them up"
Senator Willis of Ohio, Senator
Robinson of Indiana and Senator
Sheppard of Texas all sounded
warnings for the Anti-Saloon League
to hold it's organization together and
to organize further, lest the liquor
traffic creep back into this country.
Senator Robinson reviewed the
history of nations in the past which
have fallen and disappeared when
the people went on drunken de-
bauch." Even in our day, he said,
American has passed all countries
in world leadership; empires have
fallen and ceased to be.
Il want the time never to come
when historians can write about the

Activities In Several Chapters Of
Maine Daughters Of Revolution

| to the Daughters at this time. She
said in part: 1T was with great
pleasure that announced to the
National Advisory Board that the
Maine Daughters had subscribed to
the New Auditorium Fund $500 for
a box made possible by Portland
Daughter, also $500 for 10 chairs at
$3.50 for each chair.
I'VE are justly proud Of living un-
der q government which gives us
greater freedom than that of any
other country in the world. The an
cestors whom we reverence. and
whose proud descendants we are
turned with due humility to the
Heavenly Father for light and guild
ance for the small affairs Of homely
every day life, as well as for instruc-
ton in all the affairs of government
They were able to form a govern
ment, which has endured throughout
generations more stable and pros
porous than any other government
Of the world. 1t is our duty now to
guard well the sacred heritage OF
life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness made possible for us. With
humble hearts and open minds let
us seek the same guidance which
enabled our forefathers to defend
with life these high and lofty ideals
Instill into this generation respect
for the fundamental laws and ira
ditions Of our country, with rever-
ence and obedience to Divine Lava"
Mrs. william H. Fisher was then
called upon and responded in q
most pleasing manner. She men,
toned the work done by her own
chapter at the Naturalization Of for
eigners in Kennebec county. She
told how in 1918 when Mrs. Charles
Jones was Regent and Mrs. Viles,
Vice Regent, that Mrs. Jones. Mrs.
Viles. Mrs. Sherburne, Miss Rey-
nolds and herself attended the Nat
uralization exercises at the Court
House and presented in behalf of
Koussinoc Chapter to each person

rise, and fall of the American con.
, stitution." he said.
Both Gen. l.. c. Andrews, head OF
the prohibition enforcement forces
and Rear Admiral F. c., Billiard
commandant of the coast guard, de-
clared that enforcement is making
great progress and will make still
greater when the recognized forces
are able to put into effect their new
plans.
The prohibition plan has not made
new class of criminals or created
any enforcement crisis. it was as
serted by Senator Willis.
THE 18th amendment" said Sena-
tor Willis, 'only found out a lot of
people with criminal tendencies and
never made a criminal"
The motto of the Anti-Saloon
League now should be organization
and then more organization. Senator
Willis declared. The battle against
liquor is not yet won and the league
should be organized down to the
smallest wards and districts.
I'm the silk stocking wards" he
said, ut is very difficult to get out
even IS per cent of the vote, but
down in the tough wards there is
sometimes polled as high as 146
per cent Of the vote.
There are many things being said
about the liquor question that will
not hold water" and both sides of
the controversy have been guilty of
needless and foolish exaggeration,
declared DIR. w. A. Garfield of Car
roll College tonight.
He said that while the situation
in America was much better than
before prohibition, that the job of
making Americans dry is not yet
done. America is legally dry" he
said. "but many Americans are wet"
Tho enforcement machinery in
America has thus far been too weak,
too inefficient. No honest, sane think
ing man can truhtfully say that an
unpopular law cannot be enforced.
Certainly the draft law was not
popular, yet mighty few sought to
evade It."
