ton committee. called on several
members Of the audience for adj
dresses. the speakers ircluding Judge

Judge Dancy discussed prohibition
and Tammany. stating they are not
issues in the campaign.
II have always been a prohihi.
ZIONIST" Judge Dancy said. "and as
a firm believer in the principles OF
prohibition I resent the lax enforce
ment under a republican sdministra-
ton. I have been a prohibitionist
all my life. Back in the mountains
of North Carolina. where was
raised they do not refer to corn in
the term Of bushels. but in gallcT
and IL required moral courage TO be
a nrohibitionist there"
Dancy cited government statistics
TO prove that during the administra-
tion Of Woodrow Wilson the percent
z of deaths from alcoholism show
ed a heavy decline. but during the
republican administrations the in
crease was steady until, under Presi.
dent Coolidge tho death rate from
this cause Is d00 per cent greater
than under the Wilson administra-
ton.
"Do you call that enforcement? p
the judge asked. Woodrow Wilson
was q wet. the same as AL Smith
but he enforced the law. Presidents
Harding ard Coolidge have made a
farce Of the prohibition Law. and yet
the republicans have the nerve IA
ask the dry South to vote for Her.

Judge Dancy defended the record
OF Tammany. stating that Boss
Tweed. when driven from power BY
Tammany leaders was succeeded By
Samuel J. Tilden "the friend of the
South at a time when the South
needed a friend"
Compare the clean. honest admin.
istration OF New York with the ad-
ministrations or Chicago, .Philadel.

cities ruled BY corrupt republican
rings. cities that are preyed upon
by political bosses who are the real
power behind the republican party
which is appealing to the voters OF
the South upon so-called mora is
sues. the speaker said.
Relative to the attacks upon Smith
that no church. either Protestant
that no church, neither Protestant
or Catholic, lis free from intol-
rance and r~ascals." He said that
Brownsville Is two-thirds Catholic
but the religious issue has neveI
been injected into politics in the city
calling attention to the fact that the
city school board is composed entire.
IL Of Protestants end has repeatedly
been reelected by Catholic voters
THE religious issue has never been
injected here, and il is not going to
be-" he said.
In reference 70 the anti Tammany
campaign. the speaker urged the
voters 70 remember that Tammany
Is the oldest political organization in
the United States. at has had its
rascals and grafters." he said. "It
would be as logical to ask a Baptist
70 desert his church on account OF
the Carnes entertainments as IL is 10
