Hinton, able organizer of the Anti Saloon
League, made a strong temperance speech
here last night, and showed by facts and
figures that of the two evils, the dispen-
sary was much more desirable than the
open saloon.
In long bill of indictment he charged
the saloons with being responsible for IS
per cent of the crimes of the country, and
that 80 per cent of the divorce cases were
chargeable to the open saloon. He said
it was charged that the temperance move
ment would disrupt the Democratic party
The idea was absurd. The Democratic
party was immortal and would live on,
and if the statement was traced back to
its source, it would be found that it was
concocted in all probability in a bar
room. Mr.. Hinton urged all 20 vote for

mason's strike, which has ben on for ten
