PROIBITION THE SALIENT QUESTION Leaders of Both Sides Issue Statements fop the Press Washington, Sept. 10 (M —An out- line on both sides of the prohibition issue during the campaign of 1928 has been gjven to the Associated Press by ranking officials of the Anti-Saloon league and the Asso- clation Against the Prohibition Amendment. Bpeaking for the Anti-Saloon lea- gue, Dr. Ernest H. Cherriggton, its directer of education, said the lea- gue was supporting Herbert HoBver and dry candidates generally the country over, regardless of party or religious affiliation. He pronounc- pd absolutely fa any statement that the organizafion had raised the religious issue. Await Meeting Henry H. Curran ,president of th Association against the amendment, disclosed that a deci- slpn whether to put the association actively into the presidential cam- paign is awaiting a meeting of the executive committee to be held late this mouth, but that a widespread effort would be made to obtain the election of members of senate and house who oppose prohibition. *“Re. peal of the i§th amendient” was said by Mr. Curran to be the ulti- mate goai of these efforts. Both of the statements were made | in response to requests for informa- tion as to just what the two organ- 1zations would attempt during 1928. “In the present political cam- paign,” sald Dr. Cherrington, “the Anti-Saloon league is supporting for public office dry candidates against wet ones r rdless of political af- filiations or any other issue that| mght be involved. “It judges candidates for office by | their own records and by the public statements which they have mnlade concerning their attitude upon the principle of prohibition and upon the enforcement of this policy of government. No Religious Issue *“The repeated public statements that we oppose certain candidates tor office because of their religion is not only absolutely false but is undoubtedly used by the enemies of prohibition to becloud the real issue. The Anti-Saloon league is interde- neminational. It includes among its cificers every variety of religion. Its national officers are Congregation- alists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Christian Scientists, Roman Catholics, Episcopalians United Brethren and Quakers. | Neither publicly nor privately does the Anti-Saloon league fight any candidate for public office becausc | of his religious convictions.

We are try- ing to look beyond the political fight of the present year and ifto the future, when this constructive side of the problem will be gorely needed. We shall before long be ready to propose substitutes for pro- hibition hased on sound and sensible study of the facts.” ALDERMAN TOTAKE BRIDE THIS MONTH Frank Zapatka and Miss Sko- nieczny o Be Married Alderman Frank Zapatka and Miss Mary B.

The methods of the Anti-Saloon League are not secret, nor do they involve intrigue. Publishes Articles “The anti-Saloon publishes a na- tional and many state publications which reach probably a million readers weekly, bi-weekly or monthly with information concern- ing issues of candidates for public office. Its speal address \public meetings in churches, halls or in the open air, each week, thus reaching weekly hundreds of thou- saads of citizens with information which might not be carried to them by the public press. It distributes literature elucidating most questions which might be part of the fssue of the day. The success of the league is due to the simplicity of its methods. Mr. Curran said the association against prohibition amendment was “especially interested” in the con- gressional elections, in view of the fact that changes in the constitution are first passed upon by senate and house. “The plans of the association for this campaign do not, at this time, inolude entry into the contest for the presidency between Gov. Smith and Mr. Hoover,” Mr. Curran said. “Whether the association will take part in this side of the campaign cannot be decided until the latter part of September when our execu- tive committee holds its first meet- ing after the summer recess. 1 have no idea what conclusion may be reached. Make Own Choice “Individual directors of the asso- eiation, of course, are making their own individual choices, some for Governor Smith and some for Mr. Hoover. My own choice is Governor Smith, for reasons which I have re- cently made public. These indi- vidual choices bear no relation whatever to the attitude of the as- sociation. “Qur association will campaign wctively in many of the contests for membership in the senate and the houge of representatives, and this we shall do in many parts of the country.
