prize not absolutely required for
the purpose of government. This
method with the conscientious ap-
proval of the largest number OF
voters ir this State can and should
be so perfected as to give the great
est practical restrictions to the
whiskey evils. The State can de-
wise laws to keep this enterprise
within reasonable limits as well
as she can have laws for other
private enterprises. During this
election year what ia the duty of
the hour of those who think that
we are confronted with conditions
of real sentiment unsuitable for
prohibition, and who think the
State should go out of the whiskey
business at the earlier opportunity.
Can we vote prohibition to upset
dispensary or consistently vote
dispensary advocates to down pro-
hibition. If we would be aggres-
sive in advocating our method we
must have exponents to represent
our cause in the Legislature. To
be honest with ourselves and en-
courage others of like opinions to
cooperate in enacting our plan
now or hereafter we must show oar
strength for our own measure and
not our preference rs to the other:
two. If we do not believe that
either prohibition or dispensary is
the proper settlement of the ques-
tieu and desire o third method, J
why not now encourage exponents
of our cause rather than give hopes
to prohibition or dispensary meth
DDS. Many favor the third method,
but how ascertain the number un-
less we act for that method. Yes |
surely exponents can be rejected
to advocate our cause.
Elect prohibition governor and
dispensary Will prevail in the leg
islature, or elect disoensary gov
ernor and dispensary will ne fix
ture for years to come, 1 say if
we who favor the third method
shall do these things without any
effort to exhibit our strength, /
repeat we should encourage those
of like opinions to bring ont suit
able exponel ts and vote for them
to advocate our view in the legls-
lature.
