LEWIS HURLS DRY

personal Liberty" Put to
Fore as Mrs. McCormick's
Court Victory Brings Praise.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 10.-Prohibition, the
hot potato of politics, has been tossed
by James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, to
Congresswoman Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick as the major issue of their cam
paign for election next November to the
United States Senate.
Lewis, colonel in the Spanish Amer
lean War and Senate whip in President
Wilson's administration, cast OF IL
years retirement and gained the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination without a
single campaign effort. Mrs. McCor-
mick, Mark Hanna's daughter and
widow of the late Senator Medill Nc
Cornick, before returning to Washing
ton yesterday, declared it was her OPP
position to the World Court that
;wamped Deneen under a 100000 plu-
rality. Deneen, the fourteenth World
Court Senator to meet defeat in the
Nation, accepted Mrs. McCormicks is
sue and lost. But Lewis, too, is opposed
to the World Court.
Lewis shot the question Of personal
liberty to the fore soon after Deneen
congratulated Mrs. Mccormick on her
victory. "It Is an issue from which
shall not allow any candidate-man or
woman-to escape" the former Senator
said.
Question of Freedom.
To Lewis the issue is: els the Amer
lean a free man to use his will subject
to just law in governing his life or is
he a servant to be directed to obey,
under the penalty Of imprisonment and
dishonor?"
Then comes the final question:
Shall the American citizen submit to
the official corruption that Is continued
in the enforcement of the national
prohibition law, to the personal degrade
ton of himself and home and to the
defilement of sons and daughters by
liens daily through the tyranny Of the
political masters at the Capital?"
Both the Anti-Saloon League Of ILL
nois and the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union accepted the prohibition
issue. The latter organization termed
Lewis "unalterably wet" and Mrs. Nc
Cornick "unalterably dry"
should Lewis carry ILLINOIS,, the

sonable to believe him strong posi-
bility for the Democratic presidential
omination-provided the Democrats
are still foolish enough to nominate q
