Senator Barbour is not disturbed by this wet on
saught True to his past record, and consistent with
his ideals public servant he emphaticaly states
that he is going to vote his conscience dictates,
against the O'Grady bill. When reporters quizzed
him about this wet attack Mr.. Barbour said: "You
don't think I'm going to resign, do you? The vets
have always been against me and my policies, yet
I've always received increasing maortieS in spite OF
their fights. In the 1928 primaries my plurality
jumped from $500 to $4,000 I'll make the wet oppo-
ston my campaign issue in 1882"
In passing we might say that Mr.. Thiele's state
ment contained in the third paragraph of his letter
to the effect that the Illinois prohibition act provides
that physician who prescrbes wine may be sent to
the penitentiary, requires some modification to
make it accord with the law. physician who is con-
victed a second time of violating the conditions of
the permit which grants him the right to prescribe
certain Intoxicating liquor, may be sent to the pen-
tertiary. Every person who again sells intoxicating
liquor in violation of the prohibition law after he has
once been convicted is subject to penitentiary SEN
tence. The law is plain. All persons are amenabe to
it. Why make any exception in favor Of physicians?
Law abiding doctors want none.

VETS MAKE DESPERATE PRESSURE DRIVE FOR
REPEAL OF PROHIBITION LAW
MARCH, 1881

As the ISSUE goes to press the vets are making q
last desperate renzed drive for votes in the senate
for the OGrady bill to repeal the Illinois prohibition
act AS an illustration Of the lengths to which they
are going thousands of letters have just been sent
into Senator James j. BarbourS district the sixth,
enclosing printed postcard all ready for the voters
SIGNATURE to be sent by the voter to Mr. Barbour.
After referring TO the wet referendum OF November
4 1880, the card reads:
The undersigned, resident and voter in our
district requests that you vote TO carry into eff
feet the will of the people or that you failing to
do So resign from the senate
The letter accompanying the postcard is signed by
former Senator Emil Thele who is state director of
the Illinois Association Opposed to Prohibition. Mr.
Thiee's letter follows:
Dear Voter: Please read carefully and act
promptly.
During the prevalence of the prohibition craze
many foolish and tyranncal laws were placed
on the statute books of the various states The
Illinois prohibition act is one of the worst.
This vicious law goes so far as to provide a
term in the penitentiary for the physician who
preScribeS wine for the sick, the feeble or the
aged IF he preSerbes whisky he is immune
At the November election the voters of Illinois
decided by a majority of more than two to one
in favor of repeating this law. BY 81 votes
against Sc the house of representatives at
Springfield passed the repeal bill. The measure
is now awaiting the action of the state senate.
The nineteen senators from Cook county are
all in favor of repeal except one. Your senator,
the Hon. James j. Barbour, threatens to vote
dry although your district is one Of the most
liberal in the state
Please sign one of the enclosed postal cards at
once, have your wife or some other voter sign

IF NOT CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION, WHAT?

This is the big question that battles the wet advo-
Gates, and divides and weakens their forces today.
1t is of course, inherent in the character and his
tory of the traffic which they endeavoring to
defend.
Every conceivable method of dealing with the
liquor traffic has had its day in court Each method,
after thorough trial, condemned at the bar OF
public opinion, and discarded Hence in their deS-
perate effort to break down prohibition, which is
yearly becoming effectively enforced, the vets
are running around in circles for program on
which they can unite. That they have not found it
yet is forcefully demonstrated by their fight at
Springfield in the present session OF the Illinois
legislature
In house joint resolution No. they advocate
states rights and repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. In house joint resolution No. II they advo-
cate modification of the Volstead law to permit the
sale of light wines and beer, and a constitutional
convention to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment.
In senate joint resolution No they advocate con-
stitutional convention to give exclusive power to
congress to license the liquor traffic, denying the
states any control whatsoever.
leading member Of the Chicago bar advocating
this latter proposition delivers most effective pro
nouncement against what his wet colleagues advo-
cate in house joint resolution No. 3, Wnen ne SO
truthfully says
Under state control one state cannot protect itself
against another For Illustration: # Illinois would
establish breWeries and disteries in Rock Island,
Iowa would be powerless to keep Davenport dry.
That could be done if at ALL only by the federal gov
ernment in the exercise OF its control over inter
state commerce. But past experience has demon
Strated that such control is not very effective. L
think the advocates of state control independent Of
the federal government make the mistake Of re-
garding the sale of Intoxicating liquor to the con-
Sumer as the most important part of commerce in
such liquor I suggest that such sales are not the
most important things in the regulation of the liquor
traffic. But that the sources Of supply are much
more important"
That the vets are hopelessly in the dark for
substitute for prohibition is the one thing that
stands out most wildly in their desperate effort to
stage comeback.
