(Continued from Page 3.)
Mr. Tinkham. The statement made
by Cardinal O'Connell, the senior
American cardinal of the Roman
Catholic Church, which 1 read yester
day is as follows: “Prohibitionists,
having formed the bad habit of mis
representation, will continue to re
peat that same attitude.”
This is an understatement, and not
an overstatement of the facts, and 1
desire to say.that 1 think the state
ment is totally and completely true.
(Laughter and applause.)
Mr. Upshaw. And 1 wish to say to
the gentleman, from my standpoint on
the dry side, that the statement is
•totally false, and 1 make that uner
ring charge os 1 stand by the white
ribbon millions of American men and
women who are standing by the Con
stitution and the youth of this coun
try. (Applause.) I am getting
mighty “blooming” tired ol not only
seeing the papers reeking with these
devilish charges but hearing them in
dorsed by members of Congress
against God-fearing people, whose
only crime is the fact that after gen
erations of education and agitation
they have put the eighteenth amend
ment in the Constitution.-outlawing
: the liquor traffic and it has been rati
■ tied by 46 of the 48 States of the
! American Union. It has been ratified
| also by the high decision of the Su
| preme Court of the United States,

which is the last word with every
loyal, red-blooded, constitutional
American. The Volstead law is the
eighteenth amendment in action. A
man has the right to seek to change
it peacefully, but he has no right, to
attack the honor and the moral pur
pose of patriotic, God-fearing,, decent
people in. this country, who love so
briety and righteousness better than
the outlawed saloon. .
I saj^ this with my last word. I
love humanity. Humanity has been
my hero. 1 have rejoiced since I have
been in this House never to have made
a bitter partisan speech on any ques
tion. I have rejoiced to stand and
speak always for the fundamental
principles of that old-fashioned, Chris-'
tian father of mine who taught me
around a family altar to love the Hag;
of our reunited country; and 1 rejoice I
that prohibition Democrats and pro
hibition Republicans and prohibition
Americans shake hands in a high and
ardent hour like this, to see to it that
the wet crowd that is encouraging
bootleggers and rum-runners and
liars in this country shall not pour
liquor and lager beer oner the most
beautiful flag in all the world. (Ap
plause.)
