on the ticket in the future that be-
ing the case, most of them are keen
ing quiet on the subject. I saw to
the voters of Delaware it won't do
for you to listen to the whiskev men
they will tempt you the way that
the Devil tempts, by getting at the
weakest point in your make up. If
you drink whiskey, they will tempt
you to vote for license, because with |
out saloons you will have trouble to
get your drink you will have to
send to some other state to get it.
and that will cost you a little more
and you might suffer for it before 4
came, etc. They talk very different
to the man who opposes liquor ; they
say to them, that if you vote for no
license, that there will be more
whIskey sold by the speakeasies.
and that boys will have a better
chance to get more oft, than if there
was licensed saloons in your town
There is as many speakeasies in
Delaware today in full blast, as there
are saloons, and more than there is
in prohibition counties. l have read
of several cases in Delaware
where illegal sellers of whiskey have
been arrested and heavily fined bv
he court in Wilmington. even q

When the whiskey men say to the
people who have the most of the
axes to pay. that if the no license
lde wins, the taxes will be higher

oom-all such talk as that is on
he same basis as that of the Devil
'hen he tempted our Saviour-wbo
al nothing to give, and could not 4
ellyer the goods. The whiskev
en promise that they will make
our taxes lower and all such nom !!

xes any higher than under license

The cost of the State Capitol at

essed at about the same amount 3
