Liquor Interests Open Demo
; cratic Campaign.
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.

STATE TICKET SUGGESTED

Democrats Fail to Mention League
of Nations in Platform at
Unofficial Meet.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug-. 4.
A ticket of state officers, "sug
Kested" for the guidance of the elec
tors, was agreed upon by party lead
ers at the final session of the unof
ficial democratic state convention here
today.
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.

Federal Officers Experience Diffi

From the Other.
Because Federal Judge Bean re
cently decided the Internal revenue
law inoperative so far as it pertains
to the illegal manufacture of liquor,
federal officials said yesterday they
were undecided as to the disposition
of criminal proceedings against L. A.
Dusterhoft, alleged moonshiner and
bootlegger, who was brought to Port
land yesterday in custody of a dep
uty United States marshal. He is
under indictment here for an alleged
violation of the internal revenue law.
A brother, E. Dusterhoft, is now
-serving a sentence of six months in
the county jail for bootlegging oper
ations The brothers are twins, and
because they look so much alike, fed
eral authorities have experienced con
siderable trouble in telling one from
the other.
The brothers are alleged to have
worked jointly in their bootlegging
activities. If one was arrested he
would insist he was the other twin
and the plea has worked often, both
here and Seattle.
Now. however, both brothere are In

The False and the True!
Advertising by the use of large space, the expenditure of huge sum
of money have placed on the market, have pat in. your home, perhaps,
many articles that today have been discarded, as you will re adily admit. .
Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to the
public than has Fletcher's Castoria: modest in all its claims, pleading
at all times and truthfully for our babies ?
The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but
the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the old story of the tortoise
that beat the hare.
Mothers everywhere, and their daughters, now mothers, speak
frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher's Castoria.
Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and
smiles to their little-one.

copied has no value. So you have had the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher and a copy of the genuine wrapper kept constantly before
you that you may guard against the false and the untrue.
