tie probability of the amendment, says
| Against prohibition from 1000 to 1900
Comparatively but little crime, etc.
resulting from intemperance in this county
and people not generally impressed as tC
the necessity of prohibition, Perhaps no
in the vicinity of the Democrat sanctium
sanctorium, but is Rauch not aware tha
lively temperance meetings are being belC
and that the Dry's are doing much silen
work by the distribution of temperance
tracts, ETC.? 1t is so, however. and they

suppose they will, succeed, but they ar,
working in double harness to effect the re
suit desired.
