Ffsny man don't want to vote for
Prohibition because he harbors
some i'll will against THE LEADER or
its Editor, let it be understood right

1t is easier to run Penitentiary
and suitcase convicts than carry an
election in Lincoln county against
Prohibition.
We say to Prohibitionists, LET US
be sure to use only moral and legit-
innate methods but use these with
q courage born of conviction"
Whisky men, white or colored'
who carry liquor to the polls to
debauch voters On election day will
do so at their peril. Mark that

of this county are thoroughly
aroused, and they intend to carry
the election for Prohibition next
Tuesday, and don't you forget 1t,
Mr.. Anti.

slavery movement in Boston only

of the twelve who formed the first
New England society in 1882, are
now living.

next Tuesday and cast your ballot
for Betty and the Baby. fyou
haven't Betty and Baby of your
own, then in Heavens name cast it
for your neighbours Betty and Baby.
What are the people of this
country always to be dominated by
a corrupt and immoral whisky ring ?
Citizens of Lincoln, you who consti
tute the morality, intelligence and
virtue Of the county, 60 to the polls
next Tuesday and assert your
rights.
Fathers and husbands Of Lincoln
county, you have cast your vote

fore it has always been for the sake
of party, or for some candidate of
your choice. This time it is differ
ent. You are called upon now to
put your ballot in the box for Betty
and the Baby. Will you do this, or
will you cast it for the devil, the sa-
loon and all the evils it entails upon
your country, home and people ?
God help yon to answer this ques-
tion as in His sight.
Do Watts and Capt. Hoskins de-
Sire the people of Lincoln county
evil ? Do they love brutality and
drunkenness ? Do they desire
strife, family broils and misery ? Do
they wish to see the good women of
the county suffer because of drunken
husbands ? DO they wish the chill
dren of Lincoln county to suffer the
tyranny of brutal fathers ? II yea,
their conduct in this canvass is con-
sistent with their desires. If not
they have very poor way of show
ing it.
