Address Of the Law and
Order League

To TIE CITIZENS OF WuLIAAsBURe:-
great moral crisis 10 upon us. AneE
fort is being made. as you know. TO re-
open the saloon. the deadliest enemy Of
our civilization, the parent OF three
fourths Of the poverty. misery aud crime
in The world. We. therefore. appeal TO ,
you TO 40 10 the polls on December 2e.
1908. and cast your vote IN favor of
Local Option.
The present law was adopted by you,
April s. 1901. Before that time intern
perance ran riot; fights and cuttings
were frequent; loud noises and pfofsne
language disgrsced our streets. After
the law was passed, .she change
Gas great. Corners that your wives
aud daughters losthed TO pass are now
thronged With sober persons pouring
their money into the mOney-drawers OF
our merchants. A moral regeneration
was noticed by visitors. All went we'll
until the illicit sale of liquor became q
subject OF general comment. Yes, ever
after this, the moral conditions were
better; for il 10 veil known TO some OF Us.
that, owing 70 the fear Of drtec-
ton, some violators Of the law refused
| TO sell 10 some persons, and others fear
ing the United States officers, will not
sell in quantities small enough to suit
ali the drinking classes. Very recently,
there has been some disorder. This. We
believe, is due 90 the desire of some hq.
uor dealers aud their sympatbiIers 10
bring Local Option into disrepute.
Some Of you. fellow citizens, say that
the Local Option law is a failure. You
say that il has never been executed. You
name such and such men sworn &C

not been properly maintained, and ye

We believe that property has increased

Since you adopted the Local Optic
law, the whole State has been swept b
