The republican party in spite Of its platform pledge
Of strict law enforcement, has no intention of enforc-
ing prohibition, and the results will be a continual y
Of the present ills which defeat true temperance.
Democratic politicians who intimate that a modifi-
cation Of the law will be possible with the election Of
Smith are deliberately misleading the voters. A vic
tory for the democratic party this year may mean the
destruction OF all constitutional and civil liberties IN
a vain effort to enforce the law.
am more convinced than ever that bone dry pro-
hibition is not desirable, even if it were possible, and
not possible If it were desirable.
The Kansas City convention furnished the most
glaring instance of the unmitigsted hypocrisy of the
leaders when those who adopted this solemn decIara-
ton to observe the prohibition laws we're consuming
more liquors during the convention than was being
consumed anywhere else in the United States.
According to press reports. just before daylight
each morning t. convention was in session, wagons
made the rounds Of hotels, collecting empty liquor
bottles. From one of the large hotels the average was
fifteen barrels Of quart and pint bottles a day.
And the most joyous tipping was done on that
midnight hour when the resolutions committee broke
up after adopting the 'riest prohibition plank ever
written into the platform, a plank ~pledging the repub-
li-an party to observe" the Law they were busy VIC
lating. Observance, like charity, should begin at home.
Thus the hypocritical attitude Of the republican
party is to be continued, getting votes from the drys
because the party j. dry in theory, and getting the
votes from vets because the party is wet in practice.
But if it is hypocrtical-disgustingly hypocritical
for the republicans TO pretend to advocate either OBJ
servance or enforcement Of the Volstead act, what is
to be said Of the democratic party, whose present lead
er, Alfred E. Smith, is to become the Moses Of the
"wets," the man who will lead them-and also the
"drys'-out Of the cellars right to the bars and the
ratings?
The south furnished the bigotry and fanaticism and
the capitalists the sinews of war which made the pro-
hibition movement and its leaders 20 around.
II is this delegation from the solid south in our
congress that has not only resisted every attempt to
re-examine the mistake that was made when bone dry
prohibition was attempted, but it has even been willing
to cast aside. without the slightest conjunction, every
constitutional right found in our constitution in or
der to enforce the unenforceable Volstead act. Using
the entire army and navy is but one of the minor de-
mands Of this crowd.
And now the democratic party outdistances the re-
publieans in double dealing and hypocrisy. While
nominating for president a man who processes to be a
wet, it adopts a platform plank on prohibition which
is even stronger than the one Bryan inserted in the
democratic platform four years ago.

Governor Smith takes the view that the best way 10
solve the farm problem Is for the farmers to get to-
g0'her and decide upon their own solution. That is
logical. The political farmers have been so busy solv-
ing the problem that the real farmer never had an OPP
Iportunity.
