Mr. Bradley thought it could be called
a bill to promote good fellowship. as all
were in favor of it. He then called upon
Senator Adrain to speak for the bill, as
the ladies present interested in the bill
wished to hear him.
The Senator from Mddlesex said that
he had the bill laid over so that he might
have the pleasure of voting tor it. He
believed that while the state received
much of its revenue from the sale OF
tobacco and liquor, yet this bill, he
thought, would eventually eradicate the
sale of these things. He then eloquently
showed that many of the crimes were
due principally to the use of stimulants,
that New Jersey was one of the six States

he hoped she would acceGe to so bene-
fetal a measure with a will.
