SAYS P20HE3ITI0IT IS SAFE
Washington. Deets Pickett, sec
retary of the Methodist board of
temperance, predicted that pohibi
tion would ha "cindicatcd" if and
when the suggested new amendment
contained in the republican platform
is submitted. His statement follows:
"If and when the substitution of a
new amendment embodying the pro
visions suggested without recommen
dation in the republican platform
are submitted to the states, prohi
bition, as a federal policy, will be
vindicated by such an overwhelming
vote as will settle the question of
enforcement for all times. The pro
posal of "stai3 control" would not
be so easy to 'defeat' in the proposal
cf simple repeal. ' But, nevertheless,
it would and will bo defeated, be
cause it draws the i.::u9 clearly. "It
must not hs thought that the pres
ent situation takes informed prohi
bitionists by surprise. Tor two years
they have foreseen the developments
of this month and so far as the
church temperance organization go,
plans have been laid wifh extreme
care and with an absolute confidence
in the events."
