BATTLE CRY TO HIT DRINKERS Advertising Campaign Intended to Win the Men Who "Can Leave Liquor Alone" A great nntt-hnozc poster campaign, which Is to bo held the first week In May. will glvo no quarter. It will hit strnlght out ngalnst all forms and amounts of drinking. "you're either with us or ngalrst us" la the prohibition attitude. Nevertheless, the hardest slaps arc going to be reserved for the moderate drinker. Space Is too valuable nnd time too short. It is figured, to waste on argu ments against drunkenness. The public conscience, the campaigners say, knows that. What they wnnt to teach the people Is that moderate drinking Is the most In sidious form of all. Their target will bo the man who says "he can stop whenever ho wnnts to. but the little drinking he does can't hurt him." That's the man the posters are going to scream at. Business men. many politicians, tnanv moor organisations, all tho church and social workers will combine the first week In May In a big advertising campaign against the liquor forces. A general start Is working out tho flotnils of the attack now In the headquarters of the National Temperance Union. 730 Wldcner Building. Automobiles flashing the nr.tl-lmozo arguments will parade tho streets, and bill boards and store windows, church fronts nnd empty buslncsn plncea will bo nllvo with posters nnd prohibition displays. Sumo of tho posters will bo copied from those used In Boston, when Mrs. Kllza both Tllton carried on a campaign that brought thousands of recruits to the cause of temperance. "Safety First" will be the subtltlo of many of the posters, and Industrial sta tistics will be gathered to prove the dis astrous effect of nlcohol on mine workers, engineers, train crows and men employed In hazardous Industries. "lit your occupation a dangerous ono?" asks one of the many posters submitted yesterday. "Safety first means no drink ing; oven modernto drinking menns slower thinking." Another quotes Archbishop Ireland nr saying: "Tho great cause of social crime Is drink, the great cause of poverty Is drink. When I hear of a family broken up I ask tho cause drink! If 1 go to the gallows and ask Its victims tho cause, tho answer Is drink."
