Put Mayors In Jail. - Representa-

result in the strict enforcement Of the
prohibitory law. my plan is to put
the mayors of the wet towns in jail
instead Of the jointists," said he. ut
is crime for mayor to let joints
run in his town. He Is just as much
Of criminal as the jointist-perhaps
a worse one. because he is high-ton-
ed one. Send a bunch Of mayors to
Jail for failure to do their duty and the
rest will enforce the prohibitory
law ~
