ment. [ then ask them why they don't
support it and the answer is:

ii is beginning to be chestnut Just as
if don't know and you don't know that
we have no show-to be elected l mean
am fighting i'll this cause to ease my
|. conscience. / want to know that 1 am

and your politics. 1t costs something to
run in a political campaign. We have
had to put up hundreds of dollars so far,
and Prohibitionists have put up money
willingly all over the state. Only today,
two men in Minneapolis, put up 500 each
Did they do it because they expected to
get something in return from the party?

Il say we have good fighting
chance. / mean that each year the Pro-
hibition party gets more votes, that the
good cause is growing. We may never
have any special power but we will al
ways have the power OF struggling

wants to be where everybody else is. No
body wants to be alone That's why
many people won't come under our ban
ner.- But-we will always keep struggling
