BY WILLIAM HARD.

The bone-dry forces of the United
States are out for blood in the preSi-
dental campaign of 1928. Their ma
tion-Wide activities, in the case of the
Republican party, center around de-
termned- effort to insert the prohibit
ton amendment by name into the ma
.ional platform of the party. They also
center around an equally determined
effort to make William Edgar Borah
into a triumphant oratorical defender
of the prohibition principle on the Re
publican party national convention
floor.
In the Democratic party a precisely
similar and closely allied endeaVor is
leading directly toward ranging a
large number of the Protestant Evan.
gelical religious prohibition elements
OF the country strongly and enthusiasts
tically back of the candidacy of Sen
ator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. a
Catholic, for the Democratic presiden.
tial nomination.

These developments have become

January. 1t will be held under the
auspices of the National Prohibition
Legislative Conference. headed by Dr.
A. j. Barton of the Baptist Church
South.
The certain prospect now is that the
Protestant Evangelical denominations

| into political party questions with a
volume and Vehemence never be

party history.
This follows partly from the fact
that the Anti-Saloon League is based
on delegates, or directors, or trustees
elected officially and responsibly by
nearly all the churches in America
except the Roman Catholic, the Episco
palian and the Lutheran. The Anti
Saloon League also has unofficial ano

Lutheran clergymen and also from

this committee went to work at once
on both sides of the political party
fence.
Senator BOrah's Mission.
It was through it's labors tit is now
learned that the great public meet
ings were held that Senator Borat
addressed in various parts of the
country on behalf of the idea of a
positive assertion of the prohibition
principle in the 1928 campaign. Sen
ator Borah was put forward to change
the tactics of the prohibitionists from
a defensive to an offensive warfare
He accepted the role, and it was
largely through his performances or
the public platform that the sentiment
was created which swept the Anti
Saloon League on into new phase
of aggressive policy in its recent con
vention in Washington.
The final resolution adopted in this
recent convention was compromise
in language and in theory, but its true
ultimate meaning in practice is to be
found in the last nine words of the
second sentence of the following
paragraph:
1--WE are gratified to observe that
in this day all parties of any political
tn, JTnitad CtafnS ollie
place themselves before the public
explicitly or implicitly as standing for
law and order and the enforcement o
the Constitution and laws of the land
Critical conditions now existing de
mand that special emphasis be laid
by party conventions on the subject o
law enforcement in general and the
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment in particular"
Those last nine words-"and The
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment in particular"-are the sole
reason for the converting here or
January next of all the prohibition
organizations which are summed VI
into the National Prohibition Lelisla
tive Conference. The prime duty o
that new gathering in January will be
| to fight the politicians who favor q
declaration merely for claw enforce
, ment in general" and TO arouse the
churches of America TO demanding
declara tons for "the enforcement OF
| the eighteenth amendment in particu

and exact.
