...personally favor a plank referring to the Eighteenth Amendment and the laws enacted to carry it into effect, and I favor a plank pledging the nominee to a fair, vigorous and faithful enforcement of them. In my opinion, it is the greatest moral issue of all ages, and public sentiment demands that both of the political parties declare themselves unequivocally upon it. Should I be nominated and elected President I favor meeting the issue squarely and believe in the strict and energetic enforcement of the laws to carry out the constitutional amendment...

But without being a Dr. Straton, he is not sanguine in the opinion of one school of adult commentators, that his contemporaries, with all their frankness and freedom, are still as strongly supporting the moral conventions. They are not, even if they have no spokesman to admit it. The precocious Miss Benson has discussed the subject in Vanity Fair, but she really is too young. Without being accused of ventriloquism, Judge Ben Lindsay has drawn startling statements from young Cleveland malefactors, and wielded them for his purpose. But the educated youth...
