Candidate wooley expressed his sat
isfaetion with the Special trip about the
country, and he said there was great
hope for the Prohibition party i'm tho
coming presidential election.
He said THE dominant issue In this
campaign IS the moral power of the in
dividual voter. This being so, 1t ma;-
ters more than anything else that you
carry yourself Ike a man at the polls
We are not trying to get victory quic--.y
Weak men are nothing 70 US now, but
for the present we need strong mon
We have come i'm search OF your choice
men. Men who can take punishment anu
stay for Jesus sake until we win.
I'VE cannot handle such men in masses
and have no expectation of doing anv-
thing with our ment except as the light
grows The whole question i'm this cam
psign is your own moral character. For
dirty man a dirty party is good
enough. For men who are content to
remain i'm partnership with the gin mill
the Democratic or the Republican party
Is good enough.
The holder" ne said Stands for
reelection, and that Is all. He has not
a particle of chance when his party wins
and his party cannot win without work
Mig the whiskey seller and the Christian
voter together iney stand for the
whiskey vote because IL might get away;
the Christian vote is to be depended on
at all times
The Prohibition party left this city for
Attleboro at $3.50 O'Clock this morning
and will from there go to Boston.
