C. T. U. REPLIES. Editor of Frontier: There appear ed in the local item.: of the January 25, 1929, Holt County Independent an article which to my mind is a direct insult to the intelligence of the Women of America, and especially those affili ated with the W. C. T. U. It reads in part as follows: “The W, C. T. U., an organization that has always been republican now seeks to resist the confirmation of Mrs. Ryan on the Board of Control, * * * Mrs. Ryan is chairman of the Woman’s National Democratic Committee for Nebraska, clean and able. Although dry in practice, she saw in Governor Smith a man who would do things”*** To my mind the American people saw the same thing that Mrs. Ryan did, and that was, according to his own statement, if eelcted president he would do all in his power to amend, if not entirely wipe out the 18th amend ment, and by her actions she upheld and favored that proceeding, even though it would be a violation of his oath when inaugurated as president. It is certainly gratifyingtoknowthat a great majority of the American peo ple so emphatically resented the prin ciples announced by Governor Smith, and upheld by his supporters. MARY A.
