how best to put the Republican party out
of power. And | personally think Mr..
PinchOt has actually won the prize, be-
cause his plan, being the most un-Ameri-
can and the most obnoxious, will make
the Republican party more unpopular
than any other plan which has been pro-
posed. did not mean to say in my pre-
viOus telegram that education would get
the Eighteenth Amendment Obeyed.
meant to say that education would
promote desire for temperance; but any
sincere and intelligent desire for tenn
perance will undoubtedly mean the repeal
or material modification of the Eight
eenth Amendment.
consider the Eighteenth Amendment
not only the most fragrant violation of
the basic American principle of personal
liberty that has ever been imposed on the
American public, but the most complete
failure as temperance measure that has
ever been conceived and put into imprac-
tical operation.
Therefore, / would like to offer, and
hereby do offer prize of $4,000 for the
best plan to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment and substitute in place of
prohibition a more liberal and more
American measure, which will secure for
the public more genuine temperance,
with less offensive interference with the
fundamental rights and personal liberties
of the citizens.
