THEIH PROGRAM
Fite following interview by
Rev. Harry L Bowlby, naticnai
■ecretary of the Lord’s Day
Alliance, may be illuminating to
these who do not know the aims
and purposes of the backers of
Sunday closing legislation. The
interview was published in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger of
November 23, 1320. Said the
Rev. Harry:
We are well financed. Our lobby a t
W ashington will be an effective and
experienced one. We shall work in
ev ery congressional d istric t in every
s t a te . We shall a g it a te and spread
p r opa ganda , and cause votere to write
unceasingly to t h e i r r e p re se n ta tiv e s in
c ongress, until no congressm an who
c a re s to stay in congresa will da re to
r e fu s e to vote for our measures. They
were the m easures used by the Anti-
Saloon ' eague, and they were e ffect,

In that event we imagine that
our Sunday closing friends would
