Hottest Contest in History of State on

Pennsylvania is facing one of the hot

OF the state, to be determined in the Re-
publican primaries next month. Governor
Pinchot and Representative Ware are con-
tending for United States Senator Pep
per's seat who has also announced his
candidacy for reelection. Senator Pep
per is counted dry. Ware is wet and
Pinchot dry. In discussing the candidacy
of Pinchot and Ware, Senator Pepper said
that he is ready for a fight and that it
will be hot one. Representative Philips
has announced his candidacy for gov
ernor on a wet platform, and, according
to the New York Times, ii is thought
he expects to make an alliance with the
Ware faction, thus keeping wet ticket

DO THE PEOPLE WANT LIGHT WINE AND BEER ?
Continued from Page s.

Canadian commissioners, sent about 1874
or 1875 to inquire into the workings of
the prohibtory law, there were committed
to the Suffolk county jail. Boston, in 1867,
under the dry regime, 3,736 persons. In
1870, when beer was legalized, but moth
ing else was, there were SOP, differ
ence in favor OF prohibition OF 1.562.
Hamlet Bates, police justice of Chel-
sea, said, on January B. 1873: The sale
OF beer should not be legalized. Almost
every beer saloon is a rum shop
Justice Newton Morse, of Middlesex
county, Massachusetts, said Il voted in
the Legislature of 186o-1870 for the beer
law, as, l believed, in the interest OF tenn
perance and the Republican party. With
the experience of the last two years |
shall this year vote against the beer law
in the same interest"
Because of such evidence, which could
be multiplied official elections are almost
uniformly against beer and wine
The Reasons Why Straw Votes Are a
Failure
The reasons why straw votes are not
representative are clear. The dissatisfied
are eager to express themselves in any
way. Those who approve existing laws
or condition do not respond to straW-vote
appeals. TO safeguard the voting in
straw ballot costly and elaborate ma
chinery is necessary. This seldom exists,
hence the unscrupuous can repeat as
often as they care to obtain the news
paper ballots. Non-voters have the same
voting privileges as citizens. In the Lit
erary Digest poll 55 pc. cent of the beer
and wine vote and % per cent of votes for
repeal came from twelve states, which
contain y per cent of the foreign-born
population of the United States, although
those states had a minority of the popu-
lation of the nation Prohibition, as Pres
ident Coolidge has said, is an American
policy of government" The un-Ameri-
canized cannot understand it, oppose it
and furnish high percentage OF the boot
leggers who violate it.
There is no dignity about free-born
American citizen casting his straw vote
for policies which never can belong to
the check mark made on a newspaper
coupon. Hence the small vote in such
tests. In the 1922 Literary Digest poll
796,257 votes were cast. Tn the 1924
presidential election 29,022261 votes were
cast. The total number of those who
participated in the straw vote were an in
considerable fraction of the citizens and
not representative of the nation at large.

two and half times as high as in New
York City. Several hundred thousand
home stills testify to the failure of the
most liberal law to reduce alcoholic con-
sumption.
Beer in Germany
Beer has equally failed as a temperance
beverage. Bavaria is one of the worlds
beer centers. According TO Prof Dr.
Emil kraepelin, of the famous Munich
clinic, alcoholism and delirium trcmens
dropped from 2,59S in 1olO-lo13. with
standard beer to 40 in 1915-1olS, with
the hve-sixth reduction in beer consump-
ton as war measure to conserve food
material. With the increased alcoholic
content and increased beer consumption
alter the war these returned TO their for
mer ratios. Crime, insanity and other
drink-caused evils dropped with the low
cred alcoholic content OF beer and the de-
creased consumption and increased when
these were removed. Beer promotes mis-
cry, crime, insanity. 1t is no more a tenn
perance drink than other liquor, in spite
OF the arguments OF the brewery press
agents. here is as much alcohol III one
schooner of per cent beer as in the ordi-
nary small glass OF whisky. There is only
one-twelfth the percentage OF alcoholic
content in the beer but there is twelve
times the volume. The amount of alco-
hol consumed in beer before prohibition
WAS little more than consumed in
whisky and other distilled spirits.
Present Law Violations
The present violations of the law arise
from the habits created by years Of
licensed liquor. The way to cure those
habits and reduce the violations is not to
legalize alcohol in beer and wine, but 10
stamp out the lawless traffic. The ma
jority know this and will not support in
any legal vote the return of beer and wine.
The American issue., 1926-04-01
To Legally Secure Beer and Wine

% Legally secure Beer and WINE
There is only one legal method for
those who wish beer and wine to obtain
those beverages. They can go to the
polls and elect Congress, which will
propose either to repeal or amend the
Eighteenth Amendment They can elect
Legislatures III three -fourths of the states
which will ratify such repeal or change
No newspaper poll will accomplish this
Not even the vote of a maority OF Con-
gress can make the sale OF beer and wine
legal SO long as the Eighteenth Amend
ment is i'll the Constitution. Nor would
the repeal Of the Nolstead act permit the
sale of beer i'll thirty-nine states, whose
state laws prohibit such beer The very
utmost that any Congress could do. even
if the vets were sufficiently numerous to
elect a majority who were thus unfath-
ful to their oaths of office, would be to
remove the penalties imposed for the
manufacture, sale, etc, OF beer and Wine
That would be blatant nulli6cation It is
hardly probable that a Congress could be
elected which would be guilty OF such
disrespect for our fundamental law.
The Attitude of Prohibitionists
The supporters of prohibition are too
busy i'll constructively supporting the en-
forcement of prohibition to engage in
futile balloting on this subject. The
American people have signifed their de-
sire for an enforced law There is dis
content with needless weakness in en-
forcement in New York and Maryland
and some other places That discomfort
desires more-not less-prohibition. 1t
wants efficiency and honesty in the ell
forcement work.
The American people have never re-
traced their steps where moral question
was involved. Prohibition is primarily
moral question. Even its economic, So
cial and hygienic benefits are less sig
nihcant than the moral phase OF the prob
lem. About the only argument the foes
of prohibition have offered is defiance to
law None arise to defend drinking.
The hideous record of the liquor traffic
throughout the history OF the world has
branded it too deeply for the most elo-
quent apologist today to attempt to do
more than urge temperate drinking as a
substitute for intemperate.

My friends, there isn't law on our

Cri,11iDo1oor,y o,,j
the Volstead act To my mind, Vol
steadism is the crime Of the ages. 1t is a
crime because il promotes and instigates
crime among young and old, people who
before prohibition were law-abiding citi-
zens. The Volstcad act is hundred per
cent failure. 1t has proven itself futile
and impotent to stop and even hinder or
restrict the traffic in liquors. Let him
who will deny this face the facts.
"The Volstead act itself was born of and
nurtured in fraud and deception and
hoisted upon d war-crazed people who at
the time were too stepped in patriotism
and love of America to offer resistance or
raise their voice in protest. . i. E. Why
tolerate law that is ipso facto a degen-
crate curse, vagrant law-breaker instead
of law-maker, an insult and disgrace
