President’s Part in Program, “It is now defintely understood that the president is to be renominated,” he said. ‘“The president may change his mind later, but the present intecn- tion is to have him write the plat- form and to put into it a plank con- gigning the question to the states. That is the way the liquor party is go- ing to fight prohibtion.’ x The speaker said it has becote customary for politicians: to point to him ‘as a warning to those who would ‘come’out ‘firmly in favor of prohibi- “tion against their party. “I mdy be politically dead,” he said, “but I am ‘not afraid to dfc in the path of duty.” Mr. Hobson gave a scientific pres- entation of the effect of alcohol up- on the human race. He raised bis voice only a few times to an oratorical pitch and most of his address was giv- en in a conversational manner Not once did he speak of ‘“The dem- “omrum.”™ 5 Five Year Campaign. Dr. A. C. Bane,: financial secre- tary of the Anti-8aloon :League of ‘America, was the frst speaker. He described the. organization of the country for the purpose of bringing about national prohibition. The the evil demands a national remedy. “In. five vears,” he said, ‘ ‘we will write constitutional prohibition into "oyr great federal document.” The. marvelous growth of the pro- hibition sentiment. in the TUnited States was described by Dr. Bane. On the first of July last year there were nine prohibition states in the union. Last -fall five mare were added and since .January 1 nine more have, been added, making twenty.three States .that now -have prohibition, Four- teen of these states have been added during the last six months. In ad dition, eighty-five per cent. of the territary of the United States is now on prohibition seoil. He has been given assurance that Connecticut would be a prohibition state before national prohibition is ushered in. Bottling Up Idquid Traffic. The process thus -far has been to bottle up the liquor traffic jn a few great centers preparatory to the final slaughter. New York and Chicago were mentioned among the great centers. Dr. Bane made a plea for funds to carry on the work. Most of the money is being expeccted in the dis- tribution of educational literature. Two million book pages a ~ day, he | said, are being turned - out of the printing plant at Westerville, Ohio. Rev. Dr. D. W.
