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.
