Big business backs the industry in Texas. It should be the

JWe need big men for leaders- in the industry, like they

THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION MUST NAME A DRY

Streaming across the brilliant editorial page of the New
York "American" the headline quoted above was printed July
5, 1924, at the time the Democratic national convention met
inJewYorlt , j
The American is a Democratic newspaper; ana inerexorc
the editorial written beneath the headline is of sincere value :
Tin the selection of a presidential nominee the Democratic
party must remember that this nominee must be UK 1 .
a of m oiiann Rnnarft Garden means a wet
KUnVr fnr the nemocratic oarty all over the United States.
The party of Jefferson cannot become the party of John
Barleycorn ; the party, born to. uplif t humanity, cannot be
come an Instrument to degrade humanity ; the party of Demo,
cracv cannot become the party of delirium, tremens jj
"On the greatest moral issue of modern times the Demo
cratic party cannot afford to be wrong.
"It would be kinder for the delegates at Madison Square
Garden to take the Democratic party out into New York liar
bor and drown it than to give it a presidential candidate who
will promise to make this great party a bootlegger. j
' "Let there be no mistake; the people of the United States
are overwhelmingly against the return of booze, and they are
as overwhelmingly against a booze candidate for president.
"In the great wide spaces of America and in countless cities
and towns prohibition has been the greatest blessing
American history.
"Not one town in a hundred would vote wet today, and
one town in a hundred would vote for a wet candidate
president on any ticket. j
fWe hear much in great cities about the failure of j
eighteenth amendment, but let the Democratic presidential
-nominee's record challenge this amendment and you will call
forth a moral earthquake which will make wet politicians flee
for their lives.
"Let there be no mistake; on no other single issue are so
many Americans banded together today.
"New York may have had prohibition forced upon it, but
the great majority of the American people demanded the
eighteenth amendment and they are stronger for it today
than ever before because prohibition has made American! life
11
better, cleaner and happier ; let us not delude ourselves about
how this reform came; it was not put over as a war time
trick. !
"Long before the war, the overwhelming masses of the
country went dry, and they demanded nationwide prohibi
tion because the organized liquor traffic would not let small
er units remain dry.
"When there was only county option, the organized liquor
traffic camped around dry counties and shipped liquor into
dry counties to defeat local option. Then the people enlarg
ed the unit to drive the organized liquor traffic away from
the dry counties; they declared for a state unit, and when
they did this the organized liquor traffic camped around the
. .11
dry state and shipped liquor into it every hourTf the day and
night.. j
m "So to have home rule the people of the United States had
to drive the liquor traffic out of the "United States. So came
the eighteenth amendment. -
"And remember another thing this country was j not
made dry as a war-time measure. Millions of moderate link
ers, disgusted and indignant at the liquor traffic's brazen
political tryanny and its organized conspiracy to violate the
law, arose and put this giant outlaw out of business.
"In this convention at Madison Square Garden the mat
ter of religious intolerance has been greatly exaggerated;
professional politicians have played it up for the purpose of
making the delegates forget certain wet records. : I
"The crafty political leaders hoped that if they talked loud
ly enough about the freedom of their consciences, the dele
gates might forget all about their corkscrews. .
"The Democrats should not be misled by this trick the
Democratic party, of course, is for a free country but it is
also for a sober country. T I
"If the Democratic party wants to lose this year it has only
to nominate a candidate who is wet; let it do this and it Will
mean a funeral conducted by one hundred million undertak
ers. If . however; the Democratic party desires to win, it must
that duriiur his administration every law. of - the -United
States will be enforced." .
While Smith political managers now try to make out the
governor of New York as a friend of prohibition for the sake
of Democratic support in dry' states, tire New York "Tele
graph, probably the wettest paper in the world, news organ of
the race tracks, gambling houses, prize fighters and the deni
zens of the New. York tenderloin, claims Governor Smith for
its own and sets at rest any rumor that the man is a dry,
for it says cn its editorial page :
"The xossip that he has gone over to the drys because he
wishes their support in the national convention is the veriest
rot. The. governor is not in favor of national prohibition and
does not intend to be. He is opposed to the Volstead law and
would like to see it amended."
The New York World, outstanding Democratic wet jour
nalistic friend of Alfred E. Smith, makes this flat declara
tion:
"The governor is a wet and the most conspicuous leader of
the wet cause. If he wins in 1928 it will be without any ho-
kus-pokus on this point. His whole candidacy would become
meaningless if it did not mean, openly, frankly and without
equivocation, that he would move, if nominated and elected,
to reform the evils of Volsteadism by liberalizing the law.
The nomination would not be worth 30 cents to him on any
other terms."

The Statesman of yesterday copied an article from the
Portland Telegram, telling of the coming to that city of E. F.
Wheeler, local manager of the Lakeside Cheese company of
Wisconsin, to establish a factory to make 50,000 pounds of
cheese a day, with a payroll of $57,000 a month. It takes 100
pounds of milk to make 11 pounds of cheese. It would take
450,000 pounds of milk a day to make 50,000 pounds of cheese
9 day. That would be fine. But where is Mr. Wheeler to get 'the
milk? He cannot get it. The users of milk in Oregon are now
fighting for the whole supply ; and there is not eonugh to gc
around. There must be some mistake about th'e 50,000 pounds
a day. We should have such factories. Salem should have one
or more. But we will not get them, till we get beet sugar fac
tories, to develop our dairying industry as it can and ought
to be developed.

Among the other competitive at
tractions at the convention, there!
wUl be a stunt competition, which
wUl be held on the afternoon of
August 3 according, to BUI Bolger,
In charge of the Stunt show. Cash
prizes will be offered for the best
stunts staged and some clever
stunts have already been arranged
for according to. report. During
the same aftefhoon there will be
an elaborate 'aerial circus," under
the direction of Seely V. Hall of
Medford. who is state chairman of
the Aviation committee. The
"Circus" will be held at the Med
ford airport on the Jackson coun
ty fairgrounds and at least 30 of
the speediest ships in the west will
take part.
In addition to the above enter
tainment features there will be
several big parades, plenty of
dances, a golf tournament on the
xamous Aiearora course ana nu
merous other attractions designed
to keep visiting Legionnaires busy
for the full 72 hours of the con
vention. Side trips to Crater and Dia
mond lakes, the Oregon Caves and
other outstanding scenic attrac
tions of southern Oregon's "va
cation wonderland" are being
planned and visitors are urged to
spend at least a week in Medford
to take In all of these features.
Pishing In the famous Rogue river
should also prove a big drawing
card for Legion sportsmen.
- Reservations should be made at
once for although Medford is well
equipped with modern hotels, all
indications point to a record crowd
at this year's convention which
will tax the capacity of the com
munity to take care of the visit
ors in addition to the usual large
volume of tourfet traffic in Au
gust. The convention commission
has urged all drum corps,- bands
and uniformed bodies to come in
Pullman cars which will be. side
tracked in the center of the main'
business section of the city In or
der to facilitate housing condi
tions.
Judging from the amount of in
terest already displayed not only
throughout the state hut all. over
the coast, the attendance at the
Medford convention will be the'
largest In the history of the state.
