nation.
There are already four million vot-
crs in America, on Il reasonable csti-
mate. who believe in Prohibition and
want to see it come.
one million voters banded together
at thch allot- box in hostility to the
retaliation of drunkard making and
to all parties upholding it. means the
crack of doom to the license policy
and to the lcgalizcd liquor traffic.
If one voter ont of every four who
believe already in Prohibition can be
secured. the million will he obtained.
If one out of every four voters who
are church members can be secured,
the million will be obtained. If one
new Prohibition Party voter can he
secured for every one that has already,
in the last six years, at one time or
another, voted the Prohibition Party
/ ticket, the million will be secured.
And there never was time, so far as
our experience goes, when new con-
verts were as easily made as they are
to-day.
Can we get the million We be-
i lieye we can. Can we get them by
