FOES OF SALOON AROUSED Kculizutlon Is Dawning That Na tional Anti-JLiquor Act Is in Actual Jeopardy. CKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU Wash ington, Aug. 4. The democratic na tional campaign was formally opened yesterday with the announcement of JoFtph H. Buckridge, secretary of the New Jersey federation of liquor interests, .that an effort Is to be made to line up all the "wets" of the state for Cox and Roosevelt. Mr. Buckridge, who intends to see that there is no pussyfooting on the prohibition question, also announced that the liauor Interests plan on the most active participation in the cam- paign. He said that this activity would not -be confined alone to tne election of Cox and Roosevelt but that It also will extend to the- elec tion of state legislatures as well as a national congress friendly to the rehabilitation of the liquor business. I.lqaor Interest Back Ticket. The liquor wholesalers and retail ers of New Jersey have voted to con tinue their organization without any change of names. Both associations will exert their influence in behalf of the democratic national ticket, it is announced. While the liquor interests are getting together on a plan of campaign for the election of Cox and Roosevelt, Wayne B. Wheeler, gen eral counsel of the anti-saloon league of America, is laying plans for giving his active personal support to Hard ins and Coolidge. Mr. Wheeler is strongly opposed to Cox. His opposition dates back to a period long before the national con vention, when the anti-saloon league was seeking to have Governor Cox put through the Ohio legislature an enforcement act to back up the popu lar vote of the state in favor of pro hibition. Cox Defies Dry. Governor Cox declined to give sup port to the popular verdict and defied the opponents of the saloon to oppose his future political ambitions. Dry leaders feel keenly the loss of former Governor J. Frank Hanly of Indiana, who was killed by a train last Sun day. Governor Hajily, who was the prohibition nominee for president lour years ago, was expected to take the stump for Harding and Coolldge, as he had opposed the placing in the field of a prohibition ticket. Governor Hanly believed that on account of Senator Harding's having voted to submit the prohibition amendment and also to override the president's veto of the Volstead prohibition en forcement act, he was entitled to re ceive the support of all sincere prohi bitionists. His view was that to withhold prohibition support from Harding was to .id Governor Cox, who is avowedly wet. Coolidfre! Record Liked. Furthermore, he liked the record of Governor Coolidge, the republican vice-presidential nominee, who had the courase to veto a I.'IS per cent beer bill In wet Massachusetts, stat-. ine; frankly some very good reasons for doing it. Only two weeks before the fatal ac cident the former Indiana governor culled on Senator Hardins at Marlon and discussed the campaign, saying that he hoied to be able to support the republican candidate. An an nouncement, it is said, would have been made before this time had not death intervened. Opponents of the saloon have had a rude awakening lately to the fact that the present national dry law is actually in Jeopardy. There is trouble enough with Governor James M. Cox. wet governor of Ohio, running for president ou the democratic ticket. That is not all. however, for it has just dawned upon prohibitionists that if Representative Andrew J. Volstead of Minnesota is defeated for re-election hit place as chairman of the ju diciary committee will be inherited by a very candid wet. Fabirhood Is lTrd. By means of a falsehood which charged Voletead with befng an atheist, the non-partisaji compassed his defeat in the primaries but that aid not worry the prohibitionists be cause it was taiten for gi-itntcd that Mr. Volstead would be succeeded by Kepresentative Morgan of Oklahoma, tr.e ranking member of the judiciary committee. Only a short time afterward Mr. Morgan d'ecf, teaving thre avowed wets next In line, Graham of Pennsyl vania, Dyer of Missouri and Walsh of Massachusetts. Sinjce then the drys have taken hope in the action of the court in holding Volstead the regular nominee because the non partisan victory was obtained by a violation of the state corrupt prac tices act, namely by use of that handy instrument known as the cam paign lie. The situation Is that the drys mut . re-elect Volstead or see the law-making machinery of congress come un der the leadership of a friend of the liquor traffic.

Y., Aug-. 4.

Among candidates suggested was Governor Alfred K. Smith for renom- inatioru The oniy serious objection to the programme prepared by the leaders of Tammany hall and the up-state or jzanization came from Mayor O. R, Lunn of Schenectady, who today sought vainly to eliminate from the platform a plank declaring for a mod ification of the Volstead prohibition enforcement act that would permit traffic in beer of 2.75 per cent alco holic content. The vote was 40s to 34 against this proposal. Mayor Lunn returned to the fight for an expression of sentiment regard ing candidates on the ground such ac tion violated the spirit of the direct primary law. Thomas F. Rogers charged that the ticket that would be presented had been "hand picked." The platform adopted today does not mention the league of nations, al though there was a blanket indorse ment of the platform adopted by the national convention at San Francisco which contains a plank declaring foi the league favored by President Wil son. Besides favoring a modification of the Volstead act the platform recom mended "recognition without inter' vention In all cases where the peoples of a nation, as in Ireland, have by free vote the people set up a republic" It indorsed the Wilson and smith ad ministrations.
