THINKING THINGS THROUGH
THE REASON

THE REASON
The contest between the two major parties in The
recent Illinois election not wet and dry fight,
although SO interpreted by wet newspapers The Re-
publican and Democratic groups both had taken po-
stions satisfactory TO the vets SO that it was really
q violent contest between two organizations, both Oh
which were for the time being wet Under such cir
cunstances something besides prohibition must be
called to account for what took place. Undoubtedly
the bad economic situation, the large amount OF I'M
employment, the stock market crash, and the no
taiOus alliance between criminals and politicians IN
the city Of Chicago were the main causes OF the ava
I2ache.
NEITHER WET NOR DRY
There are a large number of political Offices in
which the wet and dry question does not figure at
all In these the temperance forces take no interest,
never endorse nor oppose candidates. Yet the Re-
publican candidates for these Offices were defeated
in the same overwhelming fashion as the rest Ger
tanly prohibition did not figure in such results
THE REFERENDUM
As to the referendum if it had any legal or bind
ina effect uDon the laWmaking bodies, would have
cne into it for all we were worth but inasmuch it
did not we felt it necessary to concentrate at
enton on the election of candidates. as they alone
can make and repeal laws. In dealing With our
thoughtful constituency we have found that large
number will not interest themselves IN any phase OF
the election that is not authoritative. We can al
ways get a much greater dry vote for candidate than
we can on any wet and dry referendum. In this par
ticular instance the referendum a part of the
wet plot promoted by the dominant wet group in
Chicago and forced through the convention by them
for the purpose of offering cover for such cand-
dates as wanted to retain dry support and gain vets
at the same time and to brighten those who pro-
posed to remain dry

were the very opposite They have talked as though
the country had been dry and was going wet instead
of it having been all wet and gradually going dry
Since the advent of national prohibition great
MANY of the churches and the educational interests
have given up large proportion of their sentiment
building teaching and making the effort to establish
prohibition an honored and popular moral enter
prise. They have kept silent to large extent Wne
the wet press day after day have been creating the
impression that it was somehow discredtable to be
SO occupied, that the enterprise was failing and be-
of it's faue producing the very condltlonS
which in effect it is destroying.
Prohibition has been widely held responsible Tor
all the evils which have hung from the old wet
days and which the enforcement of the law has not
yet been able to check Because OF this state OF al
fairs almost the entire burden of maintaining the
popularity and desrability of prohibition has been
left to the AntiSaloon League The burden has long
been more than we could carry. vicious circle has
been created. We could not do more than we have
done because we lacked the funds, and we could not
secure the funds because apparently were not do
ing more
There is only way to correct this difficulty, and
that is, have the friends of prohibition throughout
the state assume their share of responsibility Either
by the methods that used to be employed or by new
ones, our friends in the counties must assume to
large extent the responsibility of building up senti-
ment in their respective counties In order to fac1-
tate this the Anti-Saloon League proposes Cd
that go into each county of the state and organ

OUR PROGRAM

The impressive political turnover which has just
taken place in state undoubtedly puts the pro-
hibition cause in position Of great difficulty. The
immediate danger is that the Illinois prohibition act
will be repealed at the next session Of the legislature
and will lead the people to believe that the rys have
lost their lighting strength. We are cOnfden such is
not the case We believe that an honest count would
give the drys majority in our state but even il this
were not the case it is all the more reason why we
should enter into prolonged statewide education
al campaign in behalf Of prohibition.
Whatever the political aspects of the may be,
it remains true that alcoholic beverages are curse
to humanity and the welfare Of society requires that
they should be eradcated The job is before us just
as it has BEEN only with aspects and it remains
to be done The terrific drive Of the vets does not
show that prohibition has been failure. On the
contrary it shows that it has driven the enemy TO
the mos violent counter attack that they have
staged believe the Christian people of Illinois are
ready to accept that challenge
We regret the turn affairs have taken lately but
it in no way alters determination to keep up the
fight for national and state prohibition. Only BY
fusing to quit from time to time when seemed to
be temporarily defeated have we gained the advance
position we now occupy, and only by the same de-
termination and seeplesS efforts will be able to
retain what we have and active complete establish
ment of the policy and enforcement of its provisions
We in the League have been giving very earnest
thought to this situation with the following conclu
sions
First statewide interest in this problem must be
aroused.
Second our friends must be innoculated with the
thought of success not failure victory not defeat
The wet press have been filling the country with
the defeatest arguments based very largely the
suppression of the facts distortion of the facts,
plain falsehoods The unfinished task of replacing
wet public sentiment with a dry public sentiment
has been handled by many editorial writer's as if it

VETS MOVE FOR COMPLETE D0MlNATI0iI
OF STATE
OF STATE

We have repeatedly pointed out in discussing the
referenda strategy of the vets, that they would
maintain that legislators and enforcement officials
in any section district, county, village which had
voted wet were authorized by such local vote to dis
regard the Eighteenth Amendment; that this was
one OF their underlying purposes in bringing on such
polls. And this is just what has happened Illinois
vets are already demanding their pound Of flesh
Despite the fact that in Chicago only about two out
of five available votes were cast for repeal Of The
state prohibition law inasmuch as the vets got q
majority of those voting, they are claiming that
only vets are entitled to hold Office. The House Of
CaDOne threatens in the city election just ahead TO
GUST every official who is not dripping wet and put
only ayoWed vets into Office, thus assuming the right
to open and complete control Of the city
The Chicago Daily He10S sounds a timely warning
as follows:
Friends of good local government should be
appraised OF the alarming fact that ieutenants
of Cap0ne and their allies together with some
we'll meaning but shortsighted persons, are
moving actively to break down all vestiges OF
conscientious municipal service in this connnaU-
nifty under the pretense that Chicago being
wet henceforth must elect only avoWed vets TO
public office. They have been quick to take adj
vantage OF the results of the advisory votes re-
lating to prohibition which were feature of the
late election. make a clean sweep at the city
election" they say. Chicago is wet. It should
put only vets in Office"
Here is where the political afflateS of the
Well-entrenched Capone gang are showing their
ingenuity and their power The proponents of
civic wetnesS believe that by mobilization of
bootleggers gamblers keepers of dsord .rly
houses, corrupt politicians and their followers
and sympathizers they make SO loud a call
for a wet administration and wet aldermen that
the need of efficient and honest government will
be forgotten by many thousands of honest vot-
erS who oppose the VolStead law. Thus the gang
hopes to bring about Wde-open town, para
disc for CaponeS bootleggerS and gunner. Ca

FAVORED CANDIDATES

The League is often asked to give undivided sup
port to favored candidates We come near to that
idea as possible consistent with fairness to all par
ties concerned. We make it practice to recommend
a candidate who is up for reelection when he has
made satisfactory record in the last previous ses-
SION New aSpirantS for the same office are simply
mentioned as taking dry position.
When there is dangerous wet running against
our dry candidates. have to state that both can
ddateS dry, in simple justice to own friends,
some of whom are interested in candidate and
some in another. The Anti-Saloon League is pri-
mary interested in the and not in the indi-
Vidual candidates, and it always has to apply that
principle The only time do assume to make
choice, and refuse to mention some of the dry as
pirants, is when there are several dryS running
against one wet In such it is necessary for
us TO concentrate or lose our dry representation.
When there is danger of losing dry representative
and the only thing at stake is choice between drys,
we follow the plan indicated above.
WHY ASK FOR IT?
If it true as reported in the wet press that
liquor is sold openly and anywhere" and practi
caly in unrestricted quantities in Chicago; if there
than $4,000 Speakeasies in the CITY, as they
bootleg liquor; will someone kindly tell us why Mr..
Capone, the boss of the supposed bootleg racket,
made his appeal to Judge MeGOority the other day,
promising the judge that he would put stop to the
other forms of lawlessness in the city if the judge
would allow him and his crowd to sell liquor without
interference? Why ask for privilege which it is
claimed they already have? Because they do not
really have it. Think it
The fact is their Bookkeeping business has been SO
seriously interfered with by the enforcement officers,
city, state and national that the gangsters have be-
desperate in their demands for criminal priv
leges Certainly they not plotting to regain what
they already have, but what they have not.

The Wolf Point city team play
ed Poplar at Poplar last Friday
night. Poplar won 81 to 10. 1t was

game was slow and rough, fouls
we're not called on either team.
Both teams were not up to form.
Wolf Point could not pass nor re-
ceive the ball satisfactorily. Pop
lar took the lead and held it
throughout the game. The Wolves
were camping close on Poplar's
trail in the third period, but Pop
lar snapped out of it, when the
stellar performer of the evening,
Fred Haines, dropped in three
field goals. Yandell and Carey
were Wolf Points outstanding
men. Nichol, Wolf Points anchor
was unable to make the trip.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BATTLERS
MAKE CLEAN SWEEP ON Sc TRIP

the Wolves were more content to
play a more defensive game,
holding onto the ball and passing
carefully to prevent Custer gain
ing possession, instead of driving
through as they did in the first
half. AS a result the Wolves scor-
ed less.
Custer connected for three bask-
cts in a row near the beginning
of the 3rd quarter, but a time.y
time out by the Wolves halted
the run.
During the final quarter the
Wolves decided to stall, forcing
Custer to come after the ball if
they wished to score. The tactics
we're successful, as the boys from
Custer County High scored only
one field goal during the quarter,
which was made up for by Wright
when he slapped the ball into the
basket on a held ball al the free
throw line.
The final score was Wolf Point
IT, Custer County II, but as one
of the Miles City spectators put
it, "The score didn't indicate how
badly Miles City was outplayed'.
(The box score was already in
type, taken from the Miles City
Star, when Coach Boe's story was
received, so Coach Boe's score is
not used. However. the two agree
in all important details.-Editor)
