secure funds boasts of "our- very act i've aid" in securing the triumphant election of MT. Hill
 Gentlemen, I used to hear, when was boy, of the "proverbiaL cheek of a Government mule," but 1 want to say that after catching these wet organizations in the vedy act of rais- inglng money to influence elections, after hearing criticism of the Anti Saloon League from men like the wet Senator from New Jersey, after hear ing wet Congressmen-Dem and Republicans alike-like the gentlemen from Maryland, MT. Hill, MT. Linthi- cum, and MT. Tydings, and MT. Galli- van (Democrat), and MT. Tinkham (Republican), from Massachusetts, who stand up here and criticise God fearing, patriotic people who are try ing to- defend the Constitution and the youth of America, while admittedly accepting aid from wet organiZa= tion thatsis attempting to nullify the Constitution, I shall not hereafter think ''the cheek of Government mule" but the cheek of William H. Stayton and Hon. John Philip Hill (Laughter and applause.)
 Fin ally, then, as d general practical
 
 encourage generation of traitors, lawbreakers, and liars by opposing for local political reasons national law that will never, be repealed or modified or modified? Neveri Yes, never
 "Iff the sun grows coid,
 And the stars grow old,
 And the leaves gf the judgment
 book unfold"
 - ask my wet colleagues on beth sides of. the aisle, Why kid yourselves any longer? And why kid your peo- pie at home with any false hopes, which are nothingm ore nor less than hfuorized Authorizations?
 You know the constitutional process through which any section of our pr4 gaaIc laws can be repealed or amend ed. It must be done by the same pro- cess required for it's enactment. Your friends of outlawed liquor must elect two-thI1Yls of the members of both branches of Congress who will stand up and be counted before the eyes of the netherhood of America as they vote. to- remarry this Government to the reeking corruption of the licensed salooEs and then you must elect legis- lators, in three -fourths of the States in the American Union who will walk out before the searching eyes of the awakened manhood and womanhood of America and vote to ratify thah un+ holy compact, and you know that will occur just the day after the judgment day:
 But ah," says the wet Representa-. tive, responsive to his t'wet" constitu- ents at home, "I admit that repeal is verN remote, probably impossible, but the Volstead law must be modified"
 There you go, kidding yourselves and your constituents again. On what do you base your declaration? Con- versions to the "wet" side, you say. Not on your life. For every disaffec- tion froin the dry side we have now a thousand recruits to the cause of con- stitutional law and personal and na- tional sobriety.
 Much ado was recently made III the papers about the prohibition apostasy of Reverend Doctor Emprinham, for 1 merly an active prohibition advocate.
 That misguided soldier is not the | first soldier or officer in great army i to become frightened when the battle ragged. That kind of a soldier was never known to win fight. Here and there we may temporarily lose a bat I tie, but the great war for righteous ness goes on. Brave men declare, like John Paul Jones, "We have just begun to fight"
 + According to my concept, that is l the only attitude that will make a Eman keep his face to the foe and 1'cause him to fight resolutely out amid Ethe boom of cannon, the rattle of mus i ketry, and the carnage of battle which i defiant "wets" and weak-kneed "drys" are waging against the eighteenth | amendment to the constitution of the r United States.
 r Frankly; and sadly, that is a mis- take which the Reverend Doctor Elm l pringham made. In looking for facts Ian dsigns of encouragement he went into the territory where the enemy ! has always been in practical posses Fsion. Of course, he found law. de ,fiance in great "wet" centers like New [ York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Bal Ftimore, for those cities have never fully joined the coristitutibnal union. Having, thrown theirSguardian arms faround their oStlaweG darling, the ecorrupt andAcormfpting saloon, they have costin,fad their slavery to- the Eappetite begotten of the saloon, and in abject and patriotic surrender to that appetite, which they have placed above the Constitution offtheir coun- :, try, they have claimed the. right of l 'selective anarchy" as Reverend Rob
