PRONBTON 1S | EIGHT YEARS 0LD No More Popular Teday Than Washington, Jan. 16 UP -— The vighth anniversary of the 13th amendment was observed todgy amid much the same controversy | as marked its birth. i As supporters of prohibition con- tinued the celebration begua yes- terday, with its center at Wester- ville, Qhlo, home of the Anti-Saloon league, its arch enemy, the Associa- | tion Against the Prohibition Amend- | ment, dug itself in for a more de- termined fight in the future. The | association's announcement of ex- pansion of its organization and its iibe at the dry cefebration consti- | tuted the only birthday gift from that side of the question in over- night developments. In addftion to the estimate at Westerville, by Dr. Howard Hyde Russell, associate general superin- | tendent of the league, that services | in 80,000 churches marked the an-| niversary, Willlam E. “Pussyfoot" | Johnson told a New York audience that prohibition was in the constl- tution to stay, and Senator Jones, republican, Washington, declared at Providence, R. T, that faithful en- forcement soon would be the main | issue in a presidential election. Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, head | of the publicity and education bu- reau of the Anti-Saloon league, also at Westerville, where an eight-min- ute ringing of church bells was ar- ranged today as a celebration, de. clared great strides had been made throughout the world toward su- pression of alcoholism. The drys’ observance was characterised here by the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment as & “bad tac- tical move becauss it cannot fall to recall to the minde of citizens the appalling figure of the dry law and their trémendous cost in money and lives." The association announced the appointment of Henry H. Curran of New York, former immigration commissioner at Ellis Island, as first president of the organisation, The *swelling tide of public dis- approval of thendum." said a| statement by W. H. Stayten, “.the | chairman, “has brought with it a growth of the association, an in- crease in its ingome and both a neceasity and an opportunity for additional work during the presi- dentiat campaign and therecafter.” At Providence Senator Jones mld‘ the Rhode Island citizenship con- | vention that while there was room for honest difference over prohibi- tion, there could be no difference among real American® over law en- | forcement and that the time wak ! coming when millions of democrats and vepublicans whe are prohibt- tionists, weuld demand.-that their party platforms declare specifically for prohibition enforcement.
