wait on public veal, and walk with law
To concede that enforcement is imprac-
ticable is to condone notification. The
alternative is ordered government, or an
archy; the Constitution of the United
States is not jest. Law must be en-
forced by officials chosen by the people.
The people act through. political parties.
The friends of prohibition law en-
forcement demand positive declarations
in party platforms. They will strive to
defeat office seekers who are either neg
alive or silent. We call upon the Amer
lean people to repudiate all state and ma
tional party platforms that deal only in
glittering generalities with law enforce
mcnt. We will oppose and vote against
candidates in all parties whose promise
is fair and dry, but whose official per-
Torrance is wet.
Let propaganda be answered with
truth. Realize the facts. Let compa-
cency make way for militancy. Mobilize
the public conscience. Then shall Lin
coins aspiration become reality in gov
eminent, and reverence for law the po-
htical religion OF the nation
Upon these principles and for the ac-

complishment OF these ends, we, the I'M
dersigned, hereby issue a call for the
national conference to be held in Wash
ington City, Tuesday, February %. 1925,
for petitioning all political parties to in
Guide in their platforms definite declara-
ton for the enforcement of the Eight
zenith Amendment and all supporting
legislation, and to nominate candidates
thoroughly committed to this policy, by
their utterances, acts and records, and for
laying plans to secure the election of
such candidate supported by such
platform.
Conference Well Attended
The conference, which was held on
February 28, in the Mayhower Hotel in
Washington City, was most representa-
tive one both from the standpoint OF
numbers and its personnel. No such gath
ering OF church leadership, reform advo-
Gates and business, professional and po-
litical representatives had ever convened
before to consider the prohibition ques-
ton. The morning session was attended
by more than five hundred persons who
listened to a symposium of short ad-
dresses by representatives of approXi-
mately thirty national organizations in
terested in the prohibition question, the
like of which has no parallel in prohibi-
ton history.
Mr.. Deets Pickett, of the Methodist
Prohibition Board, who had been the
chairman Of the Committee on Arrange
ments, called the meeting to order and
after the invocation had been pronounced
by DIR. James Shera Montgomery, he
read the call for the conference. He then
introduced DR.. Daniel A. Polling, presi-
dent OF the National Society of Christian
Endeavor and an outstanding leader i'll
the religious world. as The permanent

SOUTH SAYS WET CANDIDATE WON'T DO
Addresses Southeastern States Convention Denouncng Wet Candle
Meet Approval of Delegates; Cannon, Mcbride and
Crawford Speak Plainly

Dry leaders Of southeastern states met
in convention in St, Petersburg, March
4 and 5, and the political situation with
special reference to political party atti-
tude toward prohibition and its enforce
ment, was freely discussed. These states,
for the most part normally Democratic,
paid particular attention to Democratic
presidential candidates.
Believes Candidate Will Be Dry
BISHOP JAMES CANNON, JR.
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., OF Virginia,
emphatically declared that, speaking as
Democrat, he believed the nomination OF
Reed, Smith, or Richie would be the
greatest calamity that could befall the
Democratic party. Continuing he said:
81 am positive that none OF these could
be elected, even if they could be nomi-
mated.
Senator Bruce predicted on the floor
OF the senate that should the Democrats
name dry candidate for the presidency,
the vets would hold convention to
nominate their candidate that suited
them. ! do not make any such predic
ton. Our business is to prevent the NOM
ination OF any wet candidate for presi-
dent. II we should fail in this, the
Democrats would have several courses
open to them: They might refuse to vote
at all and stay at home, or they might
vote for the Republican candidate il he
were dry. l make no prediction on the
nomination of third candidate, because
I consider such nomination would be to-
tally unnecessary since cannot believe

Representative Appointed Convey
National Political Conventions Take
the Largest Possible Support of Delegates

One 81 the most significant events IN
the history OF prohibition took place in
the city OF Washington, d. G., on Tues
day. February %. 1t was an all-day con-
ference Of representatives of the united
prohibition forces OF America, called to-
gether II consider the next step in the
prohibition reformation
This conference was the elimination
OF a movement which begun with group
OF seventy-fve leaders in the moral and
Christian lie OF the nation which met in
a two-days session at Atlantic City last
autumn At that conference a continue
ton committee was named which, in the
closing days of November, gave lunch
con to tie members o. the National Tenn
peranee Council in Washington City.
As a result of the deiberation on
this occasion the National Legislative
Conference, which IS made up OF one rep
resenative OF practically every organiza-
ton in America, interested in the subject
Of prohibition legislation, was asked to
issue a call for general conference OF
the prohibition agencies of the entire
country which would consider the meth
DDS by which the political parties in 1923
might be invoked to nominate a dry cam
didate for President and for Nice-Presi-
dent, and incorporate i'll their platforms
definite pronouncement for the strict and
impartial enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment and its supporting statutes.
al:
taken on the following day by the Leg
islative conference and joint commit
tee OF arrangements, consisting of thirty
four persons, including the Continuation
Committee of the Atlantic City confer
ence. was named to issue the call and
make preparation for this general con-
ference which had been suggested.
The Call
1t was decided to hold the conference
in Washington City on February 2S, and
a call was issued which was signed by
nearly one thousand representative citi-
zens scattered through the various states
OF the Union. This call was in part as
follows:
constitutional government in America
is confronted by a crisis. Such crisis
demands a national offensive organiza-
ton and plans must be made adequate
for the occasion.
"Prohibition Is not a theory; it is a fact.
The practcability of its enforcement
where not defeated by corrupt politics
has been proved. That it is a good law
has been demonstrated. By it labor has
been enriched, business enlarged and the
public's savings vastly increased. Morally
it is the greatest reform ever achieved by
a free people At its worst prohibition
is UNNECESSARILY better than legalized
liquor at its best and it is the settled
conviction OF a large majority OF the ma
tons voters that it shall be carried into
full effect
1--WE stand for enforcement of all law.
Today the issue joins in the Eighteenth
Amendment The personal liberty argu-

that the party would choose as standard
bearer any man who could not stand hon
estly upon the dry platform plank upon
which southern democracy should insist"
If Bolt It VIII Be By the VETS
SUIT. f. SCOTT MCBRIDE
General Superintendent F. Scott Nc
Bride of the Anti-Saloon League OF
America, said in part:
DRY Southern Democrats like your
selves must decide whether Al Smith was
right or wrong when at the Vanderbilt
Hotel dinner few years ago he declared
The Democratic party is a saloon party,
and everybody knows it is the saloon
party and it ought to come out and say
So
81 cannot believe that one of the states
you represent will give its delegation to
a man who sent word to the wet Cover
nor OF New Jersey that he would help
put over a bill that will get US some
where where we can put foot on the
rail again and blow off the froth.
Smith is the froth that the Democrat
ic party will blow into nothingncss when
it gathers at Houston. II there is any
bolt in the Democratic party either be-
fore or at the Houston convention it will
probably be bolt by the vets. The vic
tors don't have to bolt, and the majority
will be lined up on the dry side and in
favor OF a dry candidate for the presiden-
cy. Down to date the definitely expressed
attitude Of the leading candidates for the
presidency is as follows:
ON the Democratic side, Reed, Ritch-
lie and Smith are wet; McAdoo, Donahey,
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-03-01


and number of others are dry
"On the Republican side, Butler is wet;
Curtis and Willis have given ringing dec
laratons for the dry cause; Hoover has
answered Borah's questions only in part.
He has not stated his attitude on the beer
and wine program, nor upon the question
OF the state determining the alcoholic con-
tent of Intoxicating liquor These are
both important questions and both were
embraced in Senator Borah's question:
naire Dawes has not stated his position.
Lowden has said that he agrees with the
message given by President Coolidge, but
has not yet in this campaign stated his
attitude on the direct issues
"The program should be dry and ac-
tive Congress for needed legislation and
such appropriations as are necessary to
meet the expense of adequate enforce
ment. The penalties against the five con-
stitutiona1 provisions should be more Sc
vere They are ridiculously inadequate.
The manufacture, sale, expectation, inn
portaton and transportation OF lntoX1cat-
ing liquors as a beverage should be made
felony so that all such offenders against
the constitution can be properly punished.
Ii these provisions are digni6ed by heavy
sentences the alien or naturalized offender
who comes to our shores to carry on his
traffic in violation of the constitution and
laws can be sent back home to walk the
streets of his home city as a living mes
sage to the wide world that the United
States means business on prohibition.
South Will Scratch Ticket
DR. EUGENE CRAWFORD
Secretary Social Service Commission,
II. Z. Church, South
Dr. Eugene L. Crawford secretary of
the Social Service Commission of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in an
address before the St. Petersburg, Fla,
Anti-Sa1oon League southeastern states
convention, declared that the south is
ready to cast its ballot against any cam
didate or party that attempts to tamper
with the Eighteenth Amendment. DR..
Crawford said in part:
"The south whole-heartedly and with
ment SO strong is this belief that she is
ready to vote against any political leader
group or party, who may desire to tam
per with the Constitution at this point.
"For over half century the south has
been content simply to cast the votes nee
essary to elect to the presidency the only
Democrats chosen to this high office.
"But change is coming. The south is
unalterably committed to prohibition, and
she has become afraid that her allies in
the north are going to try to force upon
her an attitude of compromise at this
point
Religious and other bodies have been
passing resolutions declaring that they
will not stand by and see the Eighteenth
Amendment and supporting legislation de-
stroyed And they have called on their
members millions in number, to refuse to
vote for the candidate of any party, even
the historic party of that section, if it
dares to put out platform or a candi-
do to a0a inst Oroh;btiOn -"
