A PROHIBITION LECTURE. Fred +.
Britten, Michigan's Prohibition Apostle,
lectured i'll this city last Friday evening
before a very small audience of men and
women. His address is well spoken of by
those who heard it, He argued that the at
ttude of the government towards the liquor
traffic is wrong and ought to be changed.
If it is right, and the saloon ought to be
protected and perpetuated by law, lie said
that then there is no place for the Prohbi-
ton party He claimed that the old pOliti-
cal parties are incompetent to settle this
question and that the Prohibition party
ought to have the right of way and be sup
ported by the voters. He said the Republi-
can party could not abolish the liquor
traffic if it would, and would not if it could.
Likewise the Democratic party is utterly in
competent to down the liquor business, and
certainly manifestS no disposition to under
take the job. He claimed that the Prohibi-
ton party is competent, and that every
good man ought to get out of his old wfiskey
party and help the Prohibitions party to win
at the polls, regardless, it is presumed, of
the fate of all other of the great issues
which have made us nation among the
, most exalted of the earth.
