AN OPEN LETTER TO SENATORS JAMES AIRED

Seventh-The Anti-Saloon League and
its officials in what political work we do
are seeking no personal advantage What
political power we obtain we use strictly
for this one purpose. 1t has never been
proven that Anti-Saloon League officials
have used their political influence in
making money for themselves or their
friends or their supporters. 1t is difficult
to show that any of the ordinary groups
of politicians have not pro6ted, directly
or indirectly, by their legislative activity
and political partisanship which is under
stood to be largely a struggle for control
in order that one party or the other may
so manipulate affairs that they will yield
advantage in large way to the groups
that support them and furnish their CAM
paign funds.
Eighth-The fact that our organization,
in some degree, comedies with the form
of political organization signifies nothing
as to our purpose or object or character,
it simply indicates that we have organized
in an intelligent way and have used
methods which large business as we'll as
political organizations have found to be
effective and wise. Group organization
for political action is not open to criticism
as such. 1t is only to be condemned in
cases where it can be shown that the
objectives or methods are wrong. The
fact that largely as a result Of the activity
of the Anti-Saloon League, the principle
of national prohibition of the beverage
liquor traffic has been embedded in the

Nnth-The parties adopt platforms to

WHY THE PEOPLE SAID:
DIE"

(The Chicago Evening PosD
1t is we'll to remind ourselves of
the situation which brought the
Prohibition party and the Anti-Sa-
loon League into being and kept
them on the firing line.
There was a great licensed bust
ness existing in the United States
"a business tolerated under re-
straints and regulations. 1t oper-
ated by permission. not by free
right. The people of the United
States never recognized its free
right to exist, and never surren-
dered nor yet compromised their
own right to terminate its exist
ence, to withdraw permission. This
business became arrogant and law
defying. In every state it organized
itself to combat regulation. 1t en-
ployed corruption. 1t bought leg
islatures; it bribed officials; it ig-
nored regulations. Forbidden to re-
main open during certain hours or
on certain days, it laughed at the
law and made forbidden hours and
days its most profitable occasions.
1t was in alliance everywhere with
vice and crime. 1t bred and har-
bored criminals. 1t subverted every
decent ideal, every worthwhile in
stitution Of American life. Its of
fenses had become so many and so
much the rule rather than the ex-
cepton that they lost news value,
and found their way into print only
when some horror resulted from
them.
This was the condition in the
United States which called forth
from a decent and alarmed citizen
ship the organized agencies of com
bat against which we now hear out
cry. This business was warned again
and again Of what would happen if
it did not mend its ways. 1t jeered
at warnings. 1t refused to reform.
1t strengthened its organization
against the rising tide of opposition.
1t spent more money in corruption.
If there was ever an organized, sell
fish, corrupt, cold-blooded minority
which sought to dictate to the peo-
pie of the United States it was the
de6antly law-breaking liquor traffic.

Hon. James A. Reed, Keith & Perry
Bldg, Kansas City, Missoui.
Dear Senator Reed: Thinking over
the subject matter brought out in your
recent Investigations in Chicago respect
fully request the privilege of fling brief
additional statement of reasons why the
Anti-Saloon League cannot justly be re-
garded as a political party:
In the first place, political activities
occupy only small portion of our time
and work. Nine-tenths of our time and
money are expended in work which is
distinctly of an educational character.
We have paid lecturers we have NOV
ing picture, we have a monthly paper. we
have dramatic debate and we issue
large quantity of literature, none CT
which deals in any way with politics.
All of these different activities are kept
going the year around, creating sentiment
against the liquor traffic in favor of the
prohibition policy and in support of the
enforcement of the prohibition law
Second-In spirit the Anti-Saloon
League is not partisan. We do not seek
to support candidates as individuals but
as supporters of the policy OF national
prohibition. Our primary interest is not
in the men but in the attitude of the can
didate toward the prohibition policy.
Thrd--We do not organize as a party
and do moi put Our own candidates ia the
field except in rare instances We let the
politicians choose their own men, We
only ask them to see that the men they
do choose for their own ends will take
care of the principle of prohibition and
we have organized just enough to secure
united action by the friends of our cause
This is the only way in which American
citizens can get behind principle with
sufficient political influence to receive
respectful consideration by party leaders
Fourth-The Anti Saloon League is
simply applying, in the political field, the
same principle which workingmen have
fought for and at last have obtained in
what is technically known as collective
bargaining Individually their appeals
were ignored but when they organized
and the group spoke as unit their de-
mands received consideration and they
won. success. We are applying the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining in putting
across the cause of prohibition. Our
organization is in harmony with the genius
of American institutions.
Fiftf-Again, we are not to be regarded
as party because we do not seek to man
State and National Offices and obtain con-
troll of political machinery. This is the
great object of political parties. We have
only sought to handle the dry vote in so
far as it would follow our leadership so
that it would act as balance of power
when the question of prohibition came up
for Legislative action. We have nothing to
say about other than enforcement Off
GERS. We arclnot after any spoils.
Sixth--As for the legislators, we do
not try to dictate their policies in any
other direction. We only ask that in con-
nection with the prohibition policy the
candidate will stand for the law and its
