Sept. 12.—A bit of In formation as to the probable candidacy j <>f William Jennings Bryan for preat- I dent of the United Slates on the Demo. : cratie ticket ha* come to light tier*. I Frank Murphy, a conductor, running I from Chicago to central Iowa, had Mr. I Bryan Mr. Bry I nrldgett Murphy, aged 80, felt became he was defeated for president. Mr. | Bryan Inquired what the sentiment was In regard to his again being a candi date. When told it was favorable, he said that perhaps he would again make the race. nounce nobody, but we do lake hold and do all we can to defeat men not In sympathy with our work. We huve nothing to do with him as n league on nnv other question. This Is not partisan politics, but It ts good citizenship. It Is helping to put men In office that will take care of the Interests of our ■ wlvet, nnd children. The Antl-Snloon League Is'a practical business organization doing business for God nnd humanity on business principles. The league seeks the aid and co operation of nil good people and confi dently expects to build up a great movement In Georgia. We urge you to keep In close touch with us all the while, advising with us on all Impor tant matters with which you have to deal, so that we may be able to work together Intelligently. The churches, very many of them, possibly all of them, and the Woman's Christian ' Temperance Union are be hind us In this work and will help us at all times. Our prohibition measure Is not n perfect one. as no human work la per fect. and It will not be perfectly en forced, but we have no doubt about the good people of Georgia, as they rally to the support of the law authorities. We believe In you. brethren, and will ex pect great results from your work and your oo-operatton. The London Tax. Much is being said Just now about the "locker tax act." Let us remind you that‘the new law absolutely pro hibits the manufacture nnd sqle of In toxicating liqunra within the state. It prohibits keeping liquors In public places. It does not prohibit shipment* from other state* to Individuals for In dividual use, nor does It prohibit one from keeping liquor* In places not con sidered public places. These are conditions with which you will have to deal, but they are so In finitely much better than former eondl. tlons that we wonder why any one could be at all peealmlatlc about the matter. • The people have not considered, pos sibly. that we are not dealing primarily with the drtnk queation tn this move ment. It Is the licensed llqudr question that wc have been dealing with. We are trying to get the saloon business out of the way. so as to make It easier for the church, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, the Good Templar* and others to deal more successfully with the drink problem. You understand the tax act simply taxes clubs. This tag. supplemented as It will be.by many councils (except where councils refuse to let them exist nt all), with possibly a much higher tax. will make a very much smaller by any subterfuge let an Iml prosecution be had. The law Is on trial. It Is our duty tn see that Its enemies nre not entrusted with Its enforcement nor permitted to violate or degrade It. Remember that the law Is now on our side. Whisky la on outlaw. No license protects It. Wherever It peeps out. In either rebel lious town or skulking forest, strike It—strike It for the sake of law! Strike for the sake of home! Strike It for the sake of the drunkard’s wife; for the sake of his child: for Ills own sake! Strike, for If let alone, tomorrow It wlil strike you and yours! Again, Georgia has led in this move, nient. If we permit the liquor men nnd their friends to break down the law and the sentiment behind It the cause of morals and sobriety wilt be hard hit In the South, yea. In the entire union.
