Campaign Director Urges United
Attack Upon Repeal Tomorrow
W. T. Forbes Appeals to
All Citizens to Uphold
Prohibition
Declaring that the anti-repeal
campaign in Athens and Clarke
county is a “Spirituil Crusade,”
W. T.:Forbes, sr., director of the
Athens, Clarke County Anti-Repeal
club today urged united support in
defeat of repeal at the polls to
morrow.
“I echallenge all men and women
of good-will to work for and vote
for the defeat of all three bills on
Wednesday.” Mr. Forbes declar
ed., His statement follows:
“l have refrained from writing
articles on the great issue that
Citizens of Georgia are to vote on
at the polls tomorrow May 15, be
cause 1 have known that the pub
licity of the real temperance peo
ple, those of us who do not hold
to the fallacy that we can drink
ourselves into temperence is be
ing well handled, but have con
fined my efforts to the organiza
tion we have set up in Athens and
Clarke county to first defeat the
Repeal of our Laws making illegal
the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Second, to defeat the Adoption of
the Beer License Act; and third, to
Defeat the Adoption of the Geor
gia Products Wine Act.
*The people have rallied usperbly
to the c¢hallenge of the Athens-
Clarke County Anti-Repeal club.
Close to 300 men and women
(Praise God from Whom all Bless
ings flow) have come out in the
open and said by their acts and in
writing: We are:
1. Against whiskey.
2. Against Wine.
3. Against Beer, and will vote to:
1. Retain our present laws,
against the legal sale of alcoholic
beverages.
2. To protest against the present
lawlessness of the alcoholic groups.
3. To work and vote for an im
proved obedience to and enforce
ment of these laws. :
Faithful Work
“Many of these¢ men and women
‘have been doing faithful work—
hard work; but if we are to win
this fight on Wednesday, we must
have the out-pouring of a loving
‘eourage oh the part of every man
and woman-+— to the side of out
last “day ‘before voting begins, to
win every possible voter — man
and woman — to the side of out
lawing the liquor traffic in our
city, county and state.
“While 1 feel we have made a
good beginning, 'T want to sound
the toesin — to arms to the de
fense of our children and our
homes, oh ye men and women of
faith! This is no time for fear; for
letting George do it — for some
one else to stand in your place.
Come, ye out, and show your col
ers: carry the colors! We have a
hard fight in this city and county.
and unless more men and women
work today and rally the friends
of temperance to vote early and in
large numbers Wednesday, May
16th, we may have a rude waken

TUESDAY May' 14. .
“L have labored in faith and love
for thirty-six years in our city to
endeavor to teach, train, and in
spire our young people to love God,
to follow Christ; to be strong,
fearless and fair, and the fact that
liquor, one of man’s worst enemies,
has been outlawed most of that
time has been a great contribfiting
factor to what success I have had
and now I am asking fathers and
mothers, the relatives and friends
of these thousands of boys and
hundreds of girls, who firlst climb
ed the mountain peaks of achieve
ment in goodly character, to not
only defeat this monster, destroy
er of the lives, bodies and souls of
those it enslaves, from becoming a
legalized merchandise in our econo
mic and social order but to rally
and help those of us who, ton, are
outraged and humiliated at the
law’esamess of 'the very same alco
holi¢ groups, who have defied au
thority and decency and now ask
to be legalized in order that they
many do, four, ten, twenty .no
one can foresée how many times
more sales and drunkenness than
now. Prohibition at its worst is
better than legdl sale at its best.

“Spiritual Crusade,” and I chal

the alcoholic thirst to vote Dry

DAY RALLY HELD AT
RED STONE SUNDAY
Crooked Creek and Red
Stone Churches Hear
Kizer and Grubb Speak
RED STONE, Ga—A meeting
was held in the Red Stone church
Sunday afternoop under the aus
pices of the Crooked Creek and
Red Stone churches for the pur
pose of trying to impress upon
the minds of the people of the
community the importance of go
ing to the polls Wednesday and
voting for retention of Georgia's
prohibition law,
The main speakers were Pror,
H. J. W. Kizer of Martin Insti
tute and Rev. Stanley R. Grubb,
Athens. The speakers were intro
duced by J. W. Arnold.
Prof. Kizer said he was a great
believer in education and a lover
of children, but that he was not
in favor of taking bread and cloth
ing from unfortunate children for
educational purposes.
He said that in order to obtain
$3,600,000 from liquor taxes -in
Georgia, every man, woman and
child would have to drvink one pint
of liquor daily.
Never Built School
Prof. Kizer declared that the
brewer and lquor interests had
never built a school or a church
but the results of their iniquitous
business had greatly increased the
graveyards. 1 ¢
Rev. Grubb said that the liguor
interests had no regard for law;
that they would' violate all laws.
He said that . the dollar that
bought lguor eould not buy bread,
and the dollar ‘spent for wine
could not buy clothing, and that
the dollar spent for beer could
not buy shoes.
He said repealists claimed re
peal would stop bootlegging, when,
as a matter of fact, it will, in
crease bootlegging. He declared
that in 1914, before the Eigh
tenth amendment, an investigation
revealed that there were 7,000
bootleggers in the city of Chicago.
The gpeaker asserted we had al
ways had them under all circum
stances. fe

ed lawlessness, crime and drunk
enness had inereaséd at an alarme

hibition laws have beeyp repealed.

overwhelming victory! But, if
not, God pity, all!

Expressing their faith in the vot.

local leaders for the Geoggia Asso-

sued a statement explaining the
Australian ballott system and urg
ing citizens to go to the polls
‘Wednesday and vote their true con.
victions on this question of gravest
importance.
The statement by the repealists
follows:
The election law adopted in Geor
gia as contained in section 138 of
the code of Georgia of 1925, is a
modification of the Australian bal
lot law.
The main features in this Geor
gia law as taken from the Austral
ian ballot is to give a secret bal
lot, to provide booths, and to pre
vent persons from interfering with
the voter. It is a very wise law
and in the coming election this law
should not be violated in letter, nor
in spirit.
The ~ purpose of the law is
to eliminate the ward healer and
to do awy with the importunities ofl
candidates and their friends. In
the past this was very disagreeable
to the voter and many voters stop
ped voting because they did not
want to be ‘“pestered” as they went
