DRY FORGES PLAN | WET PLANK ATTAGK Cherrington Issues Call to|f& Block Foes’ Move to Inject Issue Into Platforms. By the Associated Press. . WESTERVILLE, Ohio, July 23.—The dry forces of the Nation will unite im- mediately and launch a campaign to overthrow any attempt to write a wet plank into the political platforms and nominate wet candidates, Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, general secretary of the World League Against Alcoholism, said here yesterday. The temperance forces will not wait & year to see who is nominated for President snd what the platforms say about prohibition, Dr. Cherrington said. As chairman of the strategy board of a union of dry forces he urged “that the temperance forces begin immediately a general educative and informative pro- gram, which would have its effect on the kind of delegates to be selected for each of the national political conven- tions.” “The foes of prohibition,” the secre- tary said, “even now are scouting about for delegates to the national conven- tions, although those gatherings are a year hence. The temperance forces have cut out for them a tremendous pre-convention job. They must con- duct in every political district of Amer- jca a_vigorous, informative campaign, spreading the truth about prohibition, as well as awakening the temperance voters to the importance of the new &.tuation.” Dr. Cherrington said that as part of their campaign the dry workers will conduct widespread mass meetings, dis- tribute vast quantities of literature and make use of the radio.
