politics is attempting to gain con
trol of the federal government
-‘under the guise of an attack on
the 18th amend irfent” he summon
ed defenders of the constitution to
rally on the side of the prohibi
tion laws if free institutions are
to be preserved in America.
Prohibition Issue
“Prohibition is a practicable is
sue of the most vital kind in which
the whole country is interested and
upon which it is looking eagerly
for courageous leadership,” hej
said. “The question is interwoven j
with some of the deepest, and most
challenging tendencies now a t j
work in American life and which'
it is the imperative duty of re
sponsible statesmanship to com
bat.
‘‘The attack on the 18th amend
ment is but a part of a great \
movement which menaces all that i
is most American in our institu
tions. It is the fighting front of a
conflict that is deeper than ihe li
quor question, deep as that may,
be. The conflict is, shall the con-j
stitution be nullified or shall it be
enforced? This challenges the j
very existence of constitutional,
government. What could be a |
graver issue than that? How can;
we afford to ignore it?
“But'the liquor question itself is
a question that political leadership
cannot ignore. The American peo
ple by writing the 18th amend
ment into the constitution, regis
tered the conviction that the wel
1 fare of the nation demanded that
they should be protected from ex-1
ploitation by a traffic that took a
heartless toll from millions of in
nocent persons, women and child
ren for the most part who were
sacrificed to its financial greed.
“The liquor interests naturally
resisted and their resistance has,
grown to the point where they
have succeeded in inducing certain
states to nullify the constitution
and now are pressing forward to
gain control of the federal gov
ernment itself in order to paralyze
prohibition enforcement. • *> * * *
Move To Gain Voters
“If free government means any-'
thing, it means precisely that is
sues of this kind should form the
basis of party contests and popu
lar decisions. If party government j
means anything, if political par-:
ties are to be more than a badge
