Prohibition la Alabama.
To the EditorsThere is so trued
wrong information afloat in Florida
regarding prohibition in Alabama
so people even have got the no
tion that Alabama has "gone wet"
giin that I crave space in your
valuable paper to set forth tbe real
raets. These are as 'ollows:
Alabama baa NOT ' gone wet"
again!
Every taw against tbe sale of
liquor in Alabama enacted by the
last legislature remains in full force
and effect to-day just as when it
ai written.
There is no saloon in Alabama
to-day from Athens to Mobile
No vote on tbe return of saloons
has ever been taken in Alabama so
iba't Alabama baa never said she
wants saloons ajain.
Anybody (except, perhaps, the
rankest liquor partisan) who knows
Alabama conditions will state tbat
tbe vote oz tbe Amendment Inst fall
involved so much aside from the
mere question of "Saloons or no
Saloons' tbat it was not an expres-
tion on tbe merits of the case.
To bold tbat tbe Spring primary
just held over there, indicates a
'wet' victory is tbe rankest non
sense. Mr. Emmett O'Neal, who
opposed tbe prohibition amendment
was nominated for Governor by a
mnjonty of 12,000. Bat Mr. O'Neal
always and everywhere during the
campaign, stated on every platform
that he would oppose all efforts to
repeal the prohibition laws now in
force Mark that down an I reaiem.
er it. His oppi.nen;, Mr. Mullory,
(made no stronger promise.
Anjther fact; iu the race for
lieutenant-Governor, Mr, Welter
. Seed was nominated by 11,000
ajority almost as much as tbat of
'Neal for Governor. And Seed
flavored the Amendment last full.
The pro liquor crowd fait to tell
Hhat. But it is a fact. If O'Neal's
election means tbat Alabama waniB
saloons again, what does Seed's
election mean?
Still another fact; Tbe Birming
ham Ledger says that the State,
widers have elected a majority of
the Legislature. And the Legisla
ture is the only body that can repeal
lie prohibition laws. Wbere does
tbtttucb vaunted "liquor victory"
show up in these facts? And they
we facts, too. The. following edi
torial from the DeSoto County
News is in point. Note that Edi
tor W. B. Hare is an Alabamlan. I
quote the editorial i
"MISLEADING ALABAMA HEWS.
"We do not condemn any pijper
from publishing its views of news.
That is its privilege. Still it is
amusing to read tbe 'Alabama let.
ters(?) cublUhed in about half
ioien Florida papers. These let
iters in lancuase are the same.
"Tbat tbey are sent out in the in.
terest of the liquor traffic is not
known to the masses; but we know
they are,
"We do think our worthy Florida
exchanges should be a little careful
about such stuff. We do not know
everything about tbe political situs,
tioa in old Alabama. However we
happen to know something.
"These famous 'letters' in describ
ing tbe 'failure of the statewide
prohibition' make many misleading
lttmenU.
' In a recent 'letter' it was stated
in substance, tbat tbe Birmingham
News tbe greatest evening paper
!o Alabama had seen tbe error of
It way. It supported the state-wide
Program, including tbe constitution.
1 intendment. The paper was now
AGAINST tbe whole thing, and was
for LOCAL OPTION (). What
is lacking to make that the truth?
The paper has changed hands. Gen
eral Rhodes, the former owner and
controller of Tbe News, is dead.
Tbe majority of tbe stock of the pa
per is now the property of Frank
G ass (and associates) tbe 'wet' edi.
tor of the Montgomery Advertiser.
Of course it has changed its policy!
Every well-informed Southern
Editor knows tbat Frank Glass has
cover by word or vote helped to Be.
cure or enforce prohibition in coun
ty or etate.
It was also heralded as news (?)
in those 'letters' tnat NOT A MAN,
who supported the prohibition
amendment would be elected.
Let's see. True, O'Neal was elect,
ed governor, but tbat was not tbe
WHOLE truth.
Walter D. Seed, a life.long pro
hibitionist, won for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor by 11,000. Many other men
who supported tbe amendment have
been elected to tbe legislature. In
fact, the Birmingham Ledger states
that the state-widers have a msjj-i.
Four of the Alabama congressmen
Taylor, Burnett, Hobson and
Heflin supported the prohibition
amendment. AH of the four have
been returned, some without opposi
tion. And Herlin, upon whom a
great fight was made, has swept the
field, carrying every county save
one, by overwhelming majorities.
Like Frank Chirk in Florida, Tom
Herlin spoke against the liquor tnifllc
and like liiiu he hug b;en returned to
congress.
Yet these wonderful letter-writers
from Montgomery had every one
'repudiated' and defeaied.
We are not a prophet or a reform
er. We do wa-t our Florida breih
ren to be fair especially in giving
the news."
Tbe liquor folks are welcome to
all the comfort they can get from
Alabama. Their comfort will be
short-lived. They place a tremend
ous discount on the intelligence of
Florida citiasenry if tbey think our
people are to be so easily misled by
arrant falsehoods and gross mis
representations of facts.
