question at length, asked the following
question:
How many of you believe that no.
license won last year and that it
would have been so decided had there
been a fair count?
1T is evident that there are many
in this city who do not believe that
the saloon is a help. I want to feel
that is but the beginning of sentiment
that is to grow in strength until next
Tuesday. They say that the law can
not be enforced. Whether it can or not
it is a fact that it is now possible to
get liquor on Sundays. If the city
goes no, there will be no difficulty in
| suppressing dives. The saloons create
an appetite for drink and once they
are downed the desire will lessen and
| it will be comparatively easy to in
sist that the law be enforced and see
that it is enforced. The dives are just
as plentiful now as they would be I'M
| der nO-license.
| I don't think there is any east of
west side only on the license question.
Men on the west side who vote for Ii
| Cense vote for something that they do
not want in their midst. I believe that
| this peddling of liquor should be stop
| ped. The time when it is possible for
a woman to hold up any number Of
fingers, indicating the number of bot
/ ties of beer desired and have it de-
! liVered to her home should be made to
4 pass. When one visits the commission
/ ers and asks for cessation Of this.
/ the only reply is that it is within the
/ law and the commissioners don't make
! laws.

drunkenness in the homes. Mrs. Lake
was especially effective. and her great
