THE BREWERS
WILL FIGHT
Prohibition in the New State Meet
ing At Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City, May 31-Twenty-
one representatives Of the brewing in
terests Of Oklahoma, and agents Of
The breweries outside Of the state, met
in the hoted Threadgill parlors yes
terday afternoon and discussed ways
and means for securing the defeat Of
the prohibition question, to be submit
ted at the same time the constitution
is voted upon.
The meA.ing was to have been Sc
cret one and it was not the intention
of those participating to info m the
general public that It was being held
The meeting was behind closed door
and none Of those wao attended would
discuss any Of the transactions with
the exception of President Braun.
@The meeting today is simply one of
the men engaged in the wholesale Il
quor and beer business" said he.
"These meetings ale not held at any
regular time, but are called when the
occasion denanda.
"In view cf the agitation over
statehood, he proposed constitution
ard the sep1sate prohibition clause,
which 50 directly affects our buisness
we wanted to get together today to
talk matters over.
Prohibition is to be submitted sep
parately. Neither Of the great par
ties has assumed to favor 1t in their
platforms, so It remains business
proposition rathe, than political
issue.
"Our people will vote on the con-
stitution according to their views. We
have not tried and win not try to in
fluence them. We are opposed to
prohibition and believe majority Of
the voters Of the state are with us
on that proposition. we are thank
ful for all the help that Is offered.
We see several organizations Of cit
liens in the state are now being per-
fected to work against prohibition
These appear to be independent oi
any liquor interests, made up simply
Of those who are opposed to the adop-
ton Of sumptory laws. Several mil
lion dollars are invested in our bus
mess in Oklahoma. Many men nol
in any way connected with us thinl
this investment should be protected
We mean to do what we can in an hor
orable way to defeat prohibition ?
