Governor Smith Wears Tammany's Collar
and is Proud of It

The grand Sachem of Tammany Hall placed it's
collar upon Governor Smiths neck July 4th.
Governor Smith bowed reverentially to the sachen.
Governor Smith is proud of Tammany and proud
that he belongs to it.
He said SO July 9TH in New York City according
to the Associated Press reports. Governor Smiths
convincing argument in support of Tammany in re-
Spouse to it's critics Can anything live in this
country 139 years that is not all right?"
Our reply to that inquiry is Certainly. Any evil
thing live in America as long as it can get
money and the people will allow it to exist. The
Louisiana State Lottery lasted for many decades
and would be alive to day had it not been destroyed
by law. And every evil institution in the country
will continue to flourish unless it is overthrown by
an upheaval of public sentiment and reawakening
of decency. The institution of slavery continued in
this country from 1920 to July f. 1862 and the evils
of the liquor traffic have existed from time imme
mortal. The organized institution for promoting
the traffic the United States Brewers Association,
would be the mightiest institution in the country
today had not the spiritual leadership of the
try organized for its overthrow.
Unfortunately, age is no guarantee of character
and tradition has it that the good not the bad die
young.
IF Governor Smith is proud of Tammany and it's
record of achievements the least this country
do is to demonstrate in unnlistakable terms that
this country is not proud of Tammany, and does not
propose to accept either Tammany or its henchmen
as the leaders of this nation"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-07-01

forget all of Governor Smiths past vet record and
his magnetic personality would lead them into the
voting booths and persuade them to cast their bal
lots for him in spite of his announcement that ne
has not changed his wet spots
Well, we believe the Democratic party is not ready
to deliver itself up to Tammany and that on sober
second thought it will estimate correctly the Al
Smith episode. The dry Democrats, both men and
women North and South, we believe, can be trusted
to place conscience above craftsmanship in this IN
stance. A party that counts among its leaders
Newton D. Baker, JoSephus Daniels William NC
Adoo Carter Glass; Senator Walsh and others was
not compelled by poverty of material or lack OF
leadership to turn to Governor Smith of New York.
An adroit manipulation of party affairs using Tam
many tactics of New York forced all these men aside
end thrust Governor Al Smith into the position of
party leadership
Never was there such opportunity for Demo-
Gratis to clean house They can get rid of WetneSs
and relieve themselves at the same time of the
domination of Tammany Hall Let the great DEM
ocratic party at this time follow conscience rather
than politics and participate in smashing defeat
of Tammany's choice and they will render the
greatest possible service to the country and relieve
their party of it's two great burdens 1t is the OPP
portunity of a century. We trust conscientious
Democrats will make the most of it.

Governor Smiths Telegram

Governor Smiths telegram makes clear to every
one the nature of the attack which is to be made
upon the Prohibition policy during the current pres
idential campaign. "A similar policy has been advo-
waited recently by the Association Against the Pro-
hbiton Amendment.
Governor Smith processes to believe that without
returning to the old saloon is possible to eradicate
existing evils of enforcement or enforcement
by giving the States the right to determine the alco
holic content of permitted liquors. This is the
proposal which embodied in the referendum
submitted in the State of Illinois two years ago when
George Brennan, the Democratic head of our local
equivalent of Tammany, was making desperate
effort to break into the United States Senate But
everyone knows, should know, that all such pro-
posals are mere abSurditieS Under the ConStitu-
ton they impossible No State has the right to
ignore amend a national law. The Eighteenth
Amendment is a national provision and the Vol
stead Act is a national law.
The only thing That could be obtained by pushing
this policy would be practical notification of the
law It would deprive the Prohibition laws of local
support and approval in States which follow the
leadership of Governor Smith in his efforts to in
crease the alcoholic content of permitted liquors to
the strength which would create ntoxicaton. They
would have right to enforce such policy If it
were adopted and it would promptly be thrown out
by the Supreme Court of the United States But
meantime local law enforcement officers would be
told that the people of their State not support
ing the Prohibition policy and therefore local en-
forcement would be parayzed.
This is the whole object Of the movement 1t is
to paralyZe local enforcement of the Prohibition law
in the States that want liquor In other words, the
policy is adroit move to nullify the Eighteenth
Amendment and that's exactly what Governor
Smiths proposal amounts to. There must be no
mistake. Call it by any name you please but it
means and is notification. That is the way to UNI
dermine the law which it's enemies find it mpos-
sible to repeal.

When the Tiger Purred

The tiger purred when it went South to lie down
with the lambs At the Houston Convention it is
themselves like gentlemen. There were women
there Southern women, of high moral character,
fine culture and ardent convictions on the subject
Of Prohibition. II was not Tor Tammany TO offend
them for their support needed and plans were
made TO get it. High minded Southern patriots
were there, they believed in Democracy they be-
heved also in Prohibition. 1t was important to per-
suade them that they could support Al Smith with
out DESERVING Democratic principles their
convictions upon the liquor traffic.
The tiger purred constantly. 1t allowed the drys
to talk before the Resolutions Committee 1t con-
Sented to permit plank to be put into the Demo-
cratic platform which is at least dry side for
they promised to try TO enforce the Prohibition law.
When some of the dryS took alarm and boldly stated
they would bolt the Democratic party there was no
retort. Tammany offered argument in its be-
half The tiger continued to purr. 1t shows its
claws and CRASHED its teeth whenever the word Re-
publican was heard But on all other subjects
neither teeth claws were visible.
Had William Jennings Bryan been alive Tam
many'S purring could not possibly have lulled the
Southern Democrats into slumber, but Bryan is
deed. His ringing voice of warning was no longer
to be heard There was no one figure powerful
enough to rally those who are conscientious upon
the subject of Prohibition and those who feared
Tammany even when it purred
And so the convention rolled and the night for
voting arrived The delegates from dry state after
dry state lined up behind Al Smith, Iowa, Kansas,
Oklahoma, and the rest. Tammany'S purrS WaXed
mony and peace and then all of sudden when the
convention was upon the eve of adjournment came
a telegram from New York a telegram from the
Presidential candidate, telegram from TammanyS
choice. The party leaders had all been committed
to the platform as adopted. Then came the mes
sage from the candidate and Tammany's claws APP
peared for the first time. The candidate made it
plain that he was against Prohibition. ut is we'll
known that / believe there should be fundamental
changes in the present provision for national Pro-
hibition. I feel it to be the duty of the chosen
Of
opinion leads to a sane solution of the condition
which am convinced is entirely unsatisfactory to
the great mass of our people BY the applica-
ton of the Democratic principles of local self-gov
eminent and States rights, we can secure real
temperance, respect for law and eradication of the
existing evils"
The instant the reading OF the telegram was fin
iShed and before there opportunity to dis
cuss it or reply to it, the convention leaders
promptly adjourned the convention sine die.
Tammany kept its claws carefully sheathed until
the last instant then when everything finished
the claws came out and gave the platform one long,
strong scratch and when they looked at the plat
again real Prohibition

The Man, Not the Platform

Governor Smith and not the platform built for
him is the real issue in this campaign. All the po-
litical leaders know it. They intended that it
should be So They considered that the strength of
Governor Smiths campaign would be his personal
popularity and they proposed to keep his personal
popularity in the foreground.
His political record is a long list of moves to
paralyze, and defeat Prohibition and it's enforce

Democratic platform would make dry Democrats

Vets Fought States Rights For Half Century

The Chicago Tribune in combating federal Prohi-
btion argues that in prohibition as in other mat
tiers which relate intimately to the domestic and
individual lives of American citizens the State is
much the better and by far the safer instrument OF
government"
What does American history reveal in this con-
nection? The people of the Prohibition States and
dry territory within States were compelled to adopt
the Eighteenth Amendment in sheer elf-protectiOn
against law defiance by the liquor traffic in wet
territory After 900 of the nation had voted dry,
the organized vets put up terrific fight, backed by
false propaganda to break down the law in dry ter
ritory and accomplished their objective in consid-
cradle by smuggling liquor into such terri
tory Through years of tedious and arduous
battling in Congress, and in the courts, the forces
working to curb the evils of the liquor traffic were
compelled to resort to every moral and legal
to make Prohibition in Cities counties, and States
secure First the Wilson law was enacted, then the
Webb-KenyOn law, then the Reed Amendment, all
having for their purpose prohibition of shipments
of liquor from wet States into dry States under
government protection or dry territory within
States National Prohibition came as the only way
out since dry States could not protect themselves
The liquor interests themselves left the forces Of
law and order no other alternative.
In 1890 the vets attacked the Wilson Act, which
designed to give the States control liquor
Immediately upon arrival in the State The States
left powereSs to suppress Importation; they
deluged with liquors shipped in by foreign
brewers and diStilerS. Wet political control and
court attacks resulted in holding this condition in
status quo for twenty-five years. Both the Wilson
Act and Webb-Kenyon Act were attacked by the
vets unconstitutional attempts to delegate to
the States control of interstate commerce. For
more than half a century the vets unrelentingly
fought the States right to prohibit the liquor trait
fc, trampled upon the Al rican principle of ma
jority rule and rode rough-shod the sovereign
citizens of every commonwealth that dared to
sert itself against liquor tyranny.
If the liquor traffic and it's defenders in their
fight to amend the present Prohibition laws, could
blot the trafcs acts and doings from the pages of
American history, they would have much easier
sailing; but that history is an orgy of lawlessneSs
such as has seldom blackened the pages of any ma
TONS history And one of the blacklist of these
chapters was the scheming, crcumvention, and
fraud practiced by this law defying traffic in wholly
dSregarding majority rule in continuing to thrust
liquor upon the people against their will and in
defiance of their laws

and also to aid the system inwardly to
help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is a home.
made medicine, far better than any
thing you could buy at times the
cost. From any druggist, get 215 ounc-
es of Pinex. Put this into q pint bot
tie, and add plain graduated sugar
syrup or strained honey to fill up the
pint. This takes but a moment, and
makes a remedy so effective that you will
never do without, once you have used
it. Keeps perfectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. It lOOsenS the germ-laden
phlegm and soothes away the infam-
nation. At the same time it is abb
sorbed into the blood, where it acts di-
rectly on the bronchial tubes. This ex-
plains why it brings such quick relief,
even in obstinate bronchial coughs and
"hu" coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent Of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
