Overnor Hanley cf Indiana Is mak
ing the politicians of his state face
live lnsues. Governor Hanley Is one
of the foremost temperance workern
In the United Stafe, He favored the
enactment of certain temperance laws,
but the legislature refused to follow
his advice' and the liquor interest
euceeded in having his bill killed In
apodal session of the legislature and,
coming as it does, Just prior to the
- presidential eelction, they must meet
the tjiuetiUon squarely. Governor Han
ley headed the committee from the
Methodist General conference that
visited Washington this spring aid
demanded the ptifsnge of the bill then
pending to prevent the manufacturer
from shipping liquors into dry terri
tory. The reception It received Is the
fwnrtaMnn for th? attempt the Meth
odic church Is making today to defeat!
Shaker Cannon for re-election in Il
linois. V ; "
, Just prior tft attending the Genera!
conference Governor Hanley' "passed
through one of his many battle to se
cure temperance recognition." . When
the republican state convention of In
diana was In sefedon! Governor Hanlev
desired to be selected as a dole gato to
th republican national convention
that later nominated . Mr. Taft. He
also desired the convention to take
advance ground on temperance. In Its
platform. A committee waited upon
Governor Hanley and Informed him
hat If he desired to no to the Chi
cago convention he must not insist
upon the adoption in the state, plat
form his already prepared resolution
on temperance.
This throat so enraged Governor
Hanley that he immediately returned
to the floor of the convention and se
cured recognition of the chair and In
one of the most masterful addresses
of his life ho told that body what tti'
committee had told him, and after ho
concluded hjs remarks, which Iatii
over an hour, and extracts, of thin
peech have been copied far and wide,
tho vote wus taken and Governor Han
ley wn not only elected as a delegate
to Chicago, but his resolution on tem
perance was adopted without a single
amendment. Ono of, the lending pa
pers of Indiana recently stated that
frm the politicians Governor Hanley
could expect nothing, but lie could se
cure from the people anything ho de
sired. He mny not accomplish nt thlx
extra, session what h desired, but he
will lay th foundation for a campaign
that will later bring it about. He m.iy
at this time. The people generally
will watch tilt) results with Interest.

It requires no prophet to foretell
the result of the present temperance
movement In the t'nlted States. An
other 10 years of progress similar to
th past 10 years and the niHnufacture
and sale of llnuor ' In the - I'nlled
States mny he a thing of tho past
The states are working Individually
nt present unit winning out rapidly,
but the next advanced step will he a
national law which will strike nt the
very heart of tho business. For years
'hundred of. opponents to prohibition
have declared If Its nvinurnctuie could

you, but so long n h It is mad under
a national license peopi,. will pet It
If not one way they will another."
Many who have made simitar 'remarks
will live to see I lu; day whin our gov
ernment -w T.l cease to live off the rev
enues received from the manufacture
of liquor and will suppress Its manu
facture altogether. '

went so far lnj Washington that the
