any LEADERS OF NATION MAP FIGHT TO * WETS Anti-Saloon League to Keep Close Tab on All Legislatures, By EARL J. JOHNSON United Press Staff Correspondent WESTERVILLE, Ohio, June 26. The Nation’s “dry leaders” today made plans to throttle “the Inevitable onslaught of the wets.” Steps to “dry pack” every State Legislature against following New York in repealing its prohibition enforcement code were taken by high officials of the Anti-Saloon League of America. Forty State superintendents and ten other officers sat in war council and outlined the first Nation-wide campaign to curb “back tracking” on prohibition. The fight will seek to: 1. Readopt a strict enforcement code in New York and combat repealer proposals in other States by packing the Legislatures with "dependable drys.” 2. Make certain at least a 90 per cent dry Congress by stumping every congressional district in the country before the next election. 3- Prevent the inclusion of 'a wine and beer plank in the next Democratic national platform. H. A. Baker, superintendent, declared the league is Convinced Governor Al Smith of New York and several other Democratic leaders are preparing to force across a wet candidate for President. “The onslaught of the wets is inevitable,” Baker asserted. “We are confident that Mr. Harding, who in all probability will run again, will remain dry. “Many more State Legislatures would Jiave attempted to repeal their enforcement codes had they been in session after the backward steps in New York We know a real fight confronts us when the Legislatures meet again this winter.”

Special Coal Bulletin—June 26 Issued by the Commercial Credit, Audit and Correct Weights Bureau, 708 Merchants Bank Bldg., Indianapolis. “The Consumer with Prudence and Foresight ” In a statement issued from Washington a few days ago, F. R. Wadleigh, Federal Fuel Distributor, said : "Considering the general situation today, and in view of the positive recommendations made by the Secretary of Commerce and the great national trade, transportation and public utility bodies, it is difficult to see how the CONSUMER WITH ORDINARY PRUDENCE AND FORESIGHT can avoid following the advice given; that his WINTER SUPPLY OP COAL, whether for domestic or industrial use, b® purchased and stored DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.” Everyone familiar with transportation conditions knows that a sh6rtage of railroad cars is inevitable this Fall. A shortage of railroad cars means a shortage of coal—unless the consumer insures himself against this emergency by Putting in Coal Now * The advice from "Washington is sincere. The conditions are real. It is only ordinary prudence and foresight for you who are responsible for the comfort of your home next winter to provide now for the coal that you know you are going to need. Talk the matter over with any reliable coal dealer. You will find that he is now booking orders for immediate and future deliveries. We advise that you get your order on file.
