Comparing what he termed the Ma
tion-wide notification of the prohibition
amendment with the slavery nullifica-
ton and rebellion of Lincoln's admins
tration, Clinton N. Howard, chairman
of the National United Committee for
Law Enforcement, declared in an adj
dress at the Foundry M. E. Church yes
terday afternoon that God called Her
bert Hoover to be President of the
United States as though in response to
Americas need today for another Abra-
ham Lincoln in the White House.
Mr.. Howard reviewed the major
events of the slavery troubles and cited
Mr.. Lincoln's courage in taking his
stand for the enforced abolition Of
slavery as a means of preserving the
Union. He commended that If Lincoln
were President now he would take a
similar stand upon the liquor question
One of strict support for the amend
ment which signifies prohibition.
What we need in the White House
today is another Abraham Lincoln who
will demand obedience to the law of the
land and who will call out the Federal
forces If necessary to suppress whisky
instruction" Mr.. Howard declared.
Despite the fact that the prohibition
amendment was ratified by greater
majority than any other amendment,
Mr.. Howard said the prohibition law is
being "nullified and bootlegged from one
ocean to the other in most shameless
manner"
