Nations, prohibition candidate for president in 1920 and present editor of The Protestant, pub lished in Washington, says existing major political parties have no in tention of drying the, country up. To be sure, there are genuine drys in the Republican ranks, like Sen ators Borah. Fess and Capper. But there are also wets, such as Senators Wadsworth and Edge and Representa tive John Philip Hill. There are some bone drys among the Democrats for example, Senators Sheppard and Mc Kellar and Representative Upshaw. I lustrate. Senators Edwards and Jim I Reed and Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. Wayne B. Wheeler is a Republican, but so is Speaker Longworth, a wet. William G. McAdoo, dry as the desert, Is a Democrat; likewise Al Smith. Clearly both parties are dependent, in a national election upon a great many wet as well as dry votes. What a political party is dependent on, it can't afford to antagonize. As Dr. Nations sees it, an individual candidate may be dry, but so long as he is a Republican or a Democrat, his party organization never will be back of him, and by himself, he can't accomplish much. The doctor's remedy for this situation is a new party all dry. This isn't in line with the Anti Saloon League strategy. The league's experience was that Republican and Democratic drys wouldn't desert their respective political groups to vote for a third party candidate even on a dry platform. In other words, they were interested in other issues, too, and objected to disregarding them in order to plunk solely for prohibition. So the league concentrated on a policy of supporting the Republican or Democratic candidates it preferred and only boosted for a prohibitionist in case where it disapproved of both the Republican and Democrat. It must be admitted it was a system the leaguers got results from. It may have been all right as to putting across the eighteenth amend ment and the Volstead act, rejoins Dr. Nations, but it isn't proving success ful in the matter of enforcement. Nor does the doctor think that political conditions of today are what they were at the time the league was fighting to write prohibition into the constitution. The Republican and Democratic labels meant something then, and a voter had some Justifica- tion for hanging onto them. But now. I na Anoarvoa 1 Yi nrc la rte en rxar a n r f a 1 . . .. ... airrerence Detween tne Democratic and Republican parties on prohibition or any other subject." What he wants is a party which really is different. lie has no objec tion to including some other issues, but he proposes that prohibition en forcement shall be the dominant one. His conclusions concerning the Re- publican and Democratic parties are unassailed, but trying to organize a new and dominant political party of some permanence is something that hans't been done In many years. s It's a real job. -:o: NOTHING FOREIGN The American embassies to be built or bought In foreign capitals under the terms of legislation passed by the ( last congress must be furnished with , American made products. That has definitely decided, after a stream of protests had ben received by the foreign service buildings commission from American manufacturers of rugs and furnture.
