‘DRYS WILL BE GOOD sports: SAYS DR. CRAIN ‘But We Shall See That Promises Are Kept,’ He Adds. "Drys” of the nation accept the verdict of the thirty-six states ratifying the repeal of the eighteenth amendment "with good sportsmanship." but expect to go forward with "renewed energy'' in the conviction that "repeal ha' not settled the liquor problem, and that victory, though delayed, belongs to the drys,’ according to Dr. James A. Crain of Indianapolis, executive director of the national Prohibition emergency committee, and president of the national conference of organizations supporting the eighteenth amendment. Mr Crain's statement follows: "By formal action of thirty-six states repeal now becomes a fact and national prohibition comes to an end. Those of us who worked for the retention of the eighteenth amendment believe that the future will prove that the fourteen years under prohibition were the soberest years the United States ever has known. We are not disposed to whine or cry over a temporary reverse. We accept the verdict with what good sportsmanship we can command, in the fi rrTl conviction that, in the light cf experience with the relegalized liquor traffic, the people will reexamine the whole conspiracy of politics, selfishness and greed by which repeal was accomplished. Democrats Must Answer ‘I call attention to the fact that those who brought about repeal have yet to face the bar of popular judgment on the methods used to accomplish th n ir purposes. President Roosevelt and Mr. Farley have yet to answer to the nation for making repeal a part of the national recovery program and thus capitalizing the anxieties of the people for the wet cause, and for using the immense powers of the federal government to coerce the states to vote wet. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have still to answer for putting their party machinery behind the repeal movement. "All talk about ‘immense wet majorities’ is pure 'hooev.' In the nation as a whole, about 27 per cent of the qualified electors voted for repeal. In Indiana, for instance, 22,000 votes properly distributed, would have kept the state in the dry column. In Tennessee no pretense is made that the election was honestly conducted. or that the state gave a wet majority. "Liquor again is legal, but if the wets think the people will stand for old conditions, they are mistaken. Valiant promises were made as a condition of bringing liquor back. .These promises must be kept. The wets must eliminate drunkenness; they must drive out the bootlegger, the racketeer and the gangster. They have promised to prevent the return of the saloon. Evidence already is accumulating that they can not. keep some of these promises and that they do not intend to keep others. No Responsibility "The dry will accept no responsibility for framing legislation to make the ‘new (wet) deal' a success. Thos“ who brought about repeal must prove that they can control the traffic, and when they fail, they can not charge the drys with complicity in their failure. We shall do our best to compel them to keep their promises and when they propose legislation we shall tell the country what we think of it. but we shall not accept responsibility for framing or enacting it. "The drys will continue to support prohibition as the best method of control yet devised, and wherever it is in force in any form, we shall fight for its retention. We shall do our b-'st to extend it to new areas. Where state-wide prohibition is an issue we shall fight for that. Where local option is the issue, we shall support that. Where the issue is between two methods of regulation, we shall support the one which promises best to restrict the traffic. "We shall revise and reconstruct our whole educational program, enlisting the home, school and church in a campaign for total abstinence. We refuse to let the word ‘temperance’ stand for the ‘moderate use’ of alcohol. We shall seek to enlist the sympathy and support of all those interests which stand to lose by the return of beer, wine and liquors. We shall go forward with renewed energy in the firm conviction that repeal has not settled the liquor problem and that victory, though delayed, belongs to us.” SBO Stolen From Office Burglars who broke into the Allied Paper Company, 702 East Market street, last night stole SBO which was hidden in the office, company officials reported to police today.
