have asfcecr the brewers to toie down
their ads. But the brewers have a
nice ironclad contract wth the pa
pers that is said to run until next
spring and they intend saving most
of their ammunition until the "drys"
begin their campaign, which fs due
to start in December.
The story noised around is that the
liquor interests 'got the tip that the
Trib, the Herald, the News, tie Post
and the Hearst papers were going to
make a strong bid to the reformers
by giving a lot of free publicity to the
"dry" crusade. So the brewers,
knowing they would .be against it,
dangled checks for big amounts in
front of the publishers' eyes and the
publishers felL
Dr. Melville P. Boynton, prohibi
tion leader in Hyde Park and "dry"
candidate for congress against Jim
Mann, accused The Tribune and the
other papers of "betraying the trust
of the people for a pot of gold." He
said the statements contained in the
liquor ads were "vicious" and that if
was an "outrage for newspapers to
feed their readers lying advertise
ments for the sake of money."
Mrs. George M. Mathes, head of
the Woman's Church Federation, de
nounced the newspapers as "Insin
cere." She also said it was "at least
inconsistent on the part of the news
papers to refuse saloon ads and then
publish a pack of lies in the form of
brewers' advertisements." She add
ed: "I wonder if it is because tne or
ganized brewers have more money
than.the saloonkeepers."
Members of the Woman's, Church
Federation, the Anti-Saloon league,
the Chicago Law and Order league
and other reform organizations are
writing letters daily to the various
newspapers criticizing them for ac
cepting the brewers' ads.
Hearst is being knocked for falling
for the brewers' money after his nu
merous dramatic statements to the
effect that booze advertisements
would never be printed in his i
papers and Arthur Brisbane's hys-1
terical outbursts against the "evils of"
drink."
Plenty of sassiety folks who don't
like saloons and take their booze in
their private clubs are also said to
be making life miserable for Bert Mc
Cormick, Jim Keeley, John Schaffer
and other publishers with an ambi
tion to bust into the smart set
