BERRY FOR PROHIBITION Methodist Churchman l)e --clares Liquor and Politics : Must Be Separated Few statements of men prominent I in the life of Pennsylvania have nt t -acted greater attention In recent ! tlayi tlian the declaration of Bishop Joseph F. Berry, senior Vilsliop of the Methodist Church, that liquor must set out of politics. The bishop is a resident of Philadelphia and one of the state's most active church men. His declaration will carry sreat weight this year and men of all uartits are discussing it. Th bishop's statement in full is as follows; "I am merely repeating a well known fact, and not at all in tlio | spirit of boasting, when 1 say that 1 j represent a church which has the ! largest membership among the Pro tectant bodies of Pennsylvania, The men uf our churches nre identified ' with different political parties, but n * ery larpo majority nre Republicans. | An Republicans find good eitir.ens , they are Intensely Interested this year in the nomination and election of members* of the Legislature who are drflnitely favorable to tht enact a ment of humanitarian mu! mom! lesis'.ationi "Among the measures v.-hich will have consideration will be the pro- j posed constitutional prohibitory amendment'. - Pennsylvania i;< .put down. l>y common consent* ns one of the half-dozen stat.es in which It will be most difficult to pass this j measure. 1 hnow as well as any man that If the amendment is passed it will be only after a struggle with j L tlie immense commercial nnd potiti * itil power of the liquor Interest-. Vie- j lory may not come this year-. But we have seven years for the cam paign. and the sober forces of the I < 'ommonwealth have enlisted for a seven years' war. "In tills struggle you may reckon j that nine-tenths of the voting I strength of the Methodist Episcopal j Church will be arrayed against the I rum power-. The Presbyterians, ; Baptists, Protestant, Episcopalians Lutherans and other churches-, in- i ■ Hiding thousands of Roman Cmtho- ! lies and battalions of high-minded citizens who are members of no ! church-, may also be counted on to ! do their utniost to free Pennsylvania j from the liquor curse. This issue j is to overshadow nli other issues-. i Want.* Tempemnoe Men" i "For this reason 1 am not only anxious that a majority of the men j who go to the Legislature shall be reliable temperance men-, but that the next Governor shall be free from i liquor domination. There cart be no , donbt but that a htajorlty of the he- I publlc-ans of Pennsylvania are now ! against the liquor traffic, h will not b# easy to Induce them to accept as a candidate for Governor any hian who i. even suapevted G f svmpathv with tliat traffic. If there shall be an attempt to foist upon the party a candidate who is not absolutel.v square on this dominant issue there will be a revolt, as there ought to i be. "Can any Intelligent observer of ruWie e\*ents fail to see lliat the liquor Issue Is the coming big Issue irt the republic? Can any careful student fail to see that the Issue pro ' iected by the <-onstitutlonal amend ment is to be one of the chief Issues , in the next presidential campaignv Prohibition can no longer be said to j be the fad of preachers and fana- i tics. It has gripped the leadership ! of the republic-. The great Indus- j iria 1 leaders are against rum. The j most influential labor leaders are i against rum. More than three- 1 fourths of the members of the I'nited States Senate and House of representatives have virtually gone on record as against rum. And the ! politicians cannot longer sidestep ' this issue and successfully hoodwink | the people. "I have never had much to do v.ith politics, and would not be greatly concerned now if the Federal | Government had not sent down for the vote of the people a great moral problem-. That problem is so vital to every interest of the Common wealth that no religious leader can | afford to ignore it. "I am. therefore, committed body, brain and soul to the task of helping to rid Pennsylvania from liquor con- 1 trol. And I ask that the dominant j political party, of which I am a j humble adherent, shall give uc in the next Legislature a body of men who i shall embody not only the highest I ideals of personal character and j '•onduct, but who sV.all respond to ' the reasonable demands of the peo- j pie on this greatest economic and j moT*l Issue of our time. And with the Legislature we must have a ! Governor in. hearty sympathy with its aim and legislation-. "Pennsylvania, wilt not always j (■onsen- to be boss-ruled, especially ' when that rule represents all that 1 is reactionary and bad in politics, I Rum has ruled the politicians who ; have uled the people. The hour has ! strut-;: for the people to speak." Was Bothered With Kidneys and Rheumatism Sanpan Worked Like Magic says M\ H. B, Nye, R. F. D, No. 8, 1 Itunimelstown. Pa.
