SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
IN FINAL FIGHT WITH LIQUOR
r
Seven Day Campaign for Funds to Begin January 16, When the National
Amendment Goes Into Effect—Anti-Saloon League Marshals Forces
for Great Movement to Finish the Job—World Dry by 1930, is Aim.
*
I N the early stages of the fight
national prohibition the,sta.tes of
aouth took the lead and have main
tained it in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in a death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this couu
try.
As a section the south was the
to clear itself of the stain of the liquor
traffic and has been no small
in giving its moral and financial sup¬
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in
ica with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January 16.
And now the south is called upon
take the lead in the Prohibition En¬
forcement Campaign under the direc¬
tion of E. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which
eomes as a logical and absolutely
essary result of the enactment of
kibition laws, both state and
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
Finish the Job M
-Let s enforce prohibition and fin
isb the job,” has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
! 0 f the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country. The speed and of
,
1 fectiveness with which this work
I ! done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent of the eo
1 operation of those who have
j possible the result* of the already prohibition achieved.
The placing
; an d measures for their
upon the statute books by no
1 finished the job. There is still a vast
1 done before
amount of work to be
i liquor forces confess defeat and
file
retire from the field.
! While the saloon has been legwlat-
1 ed out of business, it is making a de¬
termined effort to come back, and it
is the purpose of the Prohibition
forcement Campaign to see that it
doesn’t come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
to the constitution was passed well
meaning friends of Prohibition
“Our nation now is legally dry; the
cause of prohibition ha* triumphed ;
the fight is won and we are through
with it.”
The intensive campaign of the liquor
interests to nullify Prohibition is the
answer. Their propaganda organiza
tion has been equalled only by that of
tbe German government.
TH€ LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., JANUARY 8. 1970.
Even the most casual reader of the
news of the day realizes tiiat Prohibi¬
tion h§,» its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic Is waging at the polls,
j in the court* and in the public prevp
the most desperate and determined
! fight in its history.
To those who think America now
j 1 It '‘dry,” all that is necessary la a
glance around you. Reports are com¬
ing daily of the death of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous concoctions sold
under the guise of corn whisky, and
: the activities of the ao-cailed "blind
tigers” were never so pronounced in
the history of the country as at the
j present time.
Elihu Root Lead* Wet*
And this is the very condition that
; is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
; advised by learned and highly paid
: counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev¬
ery means in tbeir power to make Pro¬
hibition a by-word and to make con¬
dition* under Prohibition so intolera¬
ble and the violations of the law so
flagrant and the lack of law enforce
I ment so notorious that the people will
become disgusted with the situation
and demand a return to the licensed
saloon.
It is the plan and purpose of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, in
; bo far as America is concerned, to ac
quaint the people of this country with
‘ this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor Interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro¬
hibition forces now will turn their at¬
■ tention to legislation against tobacco,
tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
m this connection Judge Nash R.
j Broyles, Court of chief Appeals, justice of the Georgia
j says;
1 “The agitation as to prohibition of
tobacco is camouflage to handicap the
enforcement of the liquor prohibition
i law*, The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the ef
| feet that the Anti-Saloon League is
hacking an anti-tobacco campaign is
! entirely unfounded.”
The prohibition campaign asks noth
ing nore nor less than enforcement
j of the Prohibition laws already on the
statute books and the enactment of
further legislation to strengthen them,
The campaign does not propose to
interfere with individuals, It is In
tended largely as a campaign of edu
cation. Literature to counteract the
propaganda of the weta, who are seek
ing to nullify the prohibition act*, is
being disseminated, meetings will be
held, and dry candidates wil) be sup
ported against the candidates of the
wets for every political office from
President downward.
In addition to enforcing Prohibition
in this country the aim of the Anti
Saloon League is World wide Prohibi
non by 1930. To accomplish this the
Prohibition forces not only have to
combat the liquor forces already in
trenched in Europe, Mexico, South
and Central America, China, Cuba
and other countries, but must fight the
additional influence of the American
distililers who, driven from‘this coun
try, are seeking footholds in other
lands.
