context clearly implies, Will domi''
nate a candidate satisfactory to the
AntixSaloon League oi america,
while the democrats may nominate
wet candidate, and furthermore, 10
imply that many dry southern denl-
ocrats would be too narrow TO vote
for the satisfactory dry republican,.
but would demand the nomination
of an independent dry democrats.
even though there would oe apSo
lutely no possibility of his election.
while in order to remove Cnls
misunderstanding, especially IN Cne
minds of our southern people, VIC
are constrained TO record publicly our
disagreement, with DR. wheeler on
this specific matter. Yet, lest there
be some possible mistage, as to our
attitude toward him. as a man ana
as a prohibition worker, we believe
that in the great struggle in the past
so years to free our people from the
shame and curse OF the legallzed llq-
uor traffic, Dr. Wheeler has peeh
one of the ablest and most efficient
workers and that he has rendered
extraordinary service TO a. great moral
cause at heavy financial and phy-
sical cost to himself.
Furthermore, while there will al
ways be some difference OF opinion
as to methods among Independent
men, there is absolute unity OF pur-
pose among us on the present great
objective of the Arti-Saloon league
Of America, namely, the maintenance
and enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment against the assaults OF
appetite and covetousness, with which
work, be it noted, despite all crlt-
iciSlns and attacks of its enemies, the
Anti-Saloon league has again been
specifically charged by the public vote
of recent great denominational as
semblies, conferences and conventions.
Finally, altogether apart from our
officials relations to the Antl-Saloon
league Of America, but in our capacity
as chairmen of the boards OF tenn
perance of our representative de-
nominations (southern Baptist ana

proper to state that in our Judgment
dry southern democrats will never
agree to the nomination OF Smith,
Reed, Ritchie, or any other wet
democrat, but will demand that the
national democratic convention re-
Spect the convictions of dry southern
democrats, without whose votes no
democrat can be elected president of
the United States. If the democratic
convention does not respect these con-
ventions, and should nominate a wet
democrat then dry democrats, north
