The new body is the rejuvenation of | the now defunct National Legislative | Conference, an organization made up in practically the same way but with none of the breadth of power with which the present super-organization has been vested. The National Legislative Col ference passed out of existence at mid- night last night. ‘The idea is the child of the mind of Dr. Ernest H. Cherringten, general sec- retary of the World League Aaginst Al- coholism. He presented his plan to the closed session of the National Legisla- tive Conference at the Raleigh Hotel yesterday morning and it was accepted | without a single vote of dissent. | The breadth of power of the new organization is amply defined in the statement _issued this morning by Dr. Barton, which follows: “The National Conference of Or- ganizations Supporting the Eighteenth Amendment not only will study pend- | legislation with forces in the United States, and con- | tinue actively in the field with regard to party platforms and candidates, but | also will work out comprehensive pro- grams for education as to the personal and social effect of beverage alcohol, and also to the end of promoting law enforcement, law cbservance and per- sonal abstinence.” Finances Are Tied Up. A tying up of the finances of the, component organizations is a still fur-! ther resuit of the formation of the “Conference.” The statement adds, “The executive committee was given responsibility for supplying and & dling the necessary financial plan. Also there will be a number of committe mnotably on legislation, observance en rollment of persons favorable to the | eighteenth amendment and publicity. One piece of vork planned will be the lurging of regist: ation of voters and the participation of » ters in primaries and | elections. All w k of the Confer=nc: 'will be national in scope.” A hint that the superorganization | jwas tn the air was heard about a week 20 when temperance leaders of the Capital who are now members of he onference were questioned. The officers, in addition to Dr. Bar- ton, are: Mrs president of the National W. T. U, and Dr. | Clarence True Wilson, general secre-| tary of the Board of Temperance, Pro- hibition and Public Morals of the Meth- | odist Episcopal Church, vice presidents; | Dr. E. C. Dinwiddie, national chief | Templar of the Independent Order of | Good Templars, secretary, and Dr. J. | 'W. Claudy of Philadelphia, general sec- retary of the Department of Moral Wel- fare of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. Will Act Politically.
