SOUTH, STROM .AGAIN CALL * IN FIN Seven-Day Campaign f< Amendment Goes for Great Movemei TN the early stages of the fight for * national prohibition the states of tho south 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 coun try. As a section the south was the first to clear itself of the stain of the liquor traffic and has been no small factor in giving its moral and financial sup port in the successful battles'which other sections of the country have waged against this traffic and which definitely becomes outlawed in Amer ica with the constitutional amendment that becomes operative January 16. And now the south is called upon to take the lead in the World Prohibi tion Campaign under the direc tion of E. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which comes as a logical and absolutely nec essary result of the enactment of pro , hibitfon laws, both state and national, and the companion measures which aim at their proper enforcement. 1 "Finish the Job" ' "Let's enforce prohibition and fin ish the job," has become the slogan and the watchword of those In charge of the campaign to enforce prohibition In this country. The speed and ef fectiveness with which this work is done depends almost entirely upon the spirit and the extent of the co operation of those who have made ? possible the results already achievod. The placing of the prohibition laws and measures for their enforcement i upon the statute books by no means finished the Job. There is still a vast amount of work to be done before the liquor forces confess defeat and retire from the field. While the saloon has been legislat ed out of business, it is making a de termined effort to come back, and it is the purpose of the World Prohibi tion Campaign to see that lt doesn't come back. The Liquor Propaganda When the Eighteenth amendment to the constitution was passed well meaning friends of Prohibition said: . "Our nation now is legally drj : chi Icause of prohibition has triumphed the fight is won and we are througl with it" I The intensive campaign of the Uquo '.interests to nullify Prohibition ia th( I answer. Thejr propaganda organua ' tion has been equalled only by that o the German government. mm OT Funds to Begin Januar Into Effect-Anti-Saloon it to Finish the Joh-Wor Even the Tnost casual reader of the news of the day realizes that Prohibi tion has us hardest fight ahead. The liquor traffic is waging at the pells, in the courts and in the public preys the most desperate and determined fight in its history. To those who think America now is "dry," all that is necessary la a j glance around you. Reports are com I ing daily of the death of one or more persons from drinking wood alcohol and other dangerous concoctions sold undor the guise of corn whisky, and thu activities of the so-called "blind tigers" were never so pronounced in the history ot the country as at the present time. Elihu Root Leads Wets 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 Elfau Root,, to use ev ery means in their power ta make Pro hibition a by-word and ta make con ditions under Prohibition so intolera ble and the violations OL the law so flagrant and the lack of. law enforce 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 ot the World Prohibition Campaign;, in so far as America ls concerned, la\ac quaint the people of thia 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 forcea now. will turn, their at tention to legislation against tobacco, tea and coffee. . No War On Tobacco , f In this connection Judge Nash R. Broyles, chief iustice of the Georgia Court of Appeals, says: 'The agitation aa to prohibition ol tobacco is camouflage to handicap the enforcement of the liquor prohibition laws. The persistent propaganda by the National Tobacco League to the et feet that the Anti-Saloon League ? backing an anti-tobacco campaign if entirely unfounded." The prohibition campaign asksnoth ing more nor less than enforcemen of the Prohibition laws already on th< statute books and the enactment o: further legislation to strengthen them The campaign does not propose u YORK !

Literature to counteract the propaganda ot the frets, who as'e ?e?k ing to nullify the prohibition HC'JJ,, is being disseminated, meetings will Se held, and dry candidates will be sup ported against the candidates of the wets for every political office from. President downward. Ia addition to* enforcing Prohibition) in this country the aim ot the Anti Saloon League is World-wide Prohibi tion by 1930. To accomplish this the Prohibition, forces noe only have to combat the liquor forces already in trenched in Europe, Mexico, South and Central.
