closing after Armour had run to GOV

Recent events in orr midst were
Dis -sed and the ladies present at

lowing appeal.
To our fellow citizens, men and
women Of Greenville
Within a short time our commun-
ity has been shocked by two terrible
crimes, it IS appropriate to ask. what
are the things that have made such
crimes possible2 In answer it seems
tous that one thing stands out above
all others as the cause of crime, a
disrespect for law, men violating
laws which conflict with their pleas
ure or convenience
We believe that 1awlessness in
minor cases, so-called, lead to law
lesshess in greater things. we there
fore submit as a reasonable PROPOSE
ton that those men who have vio-
lated laws. Sunday laws. gambling
laws. and Others, have contributed to
build up in our midst spirit II dis
respect for law and to that extent are
responsible for these sad and shock
ing crimes; and We would ask the
women also to think whether they
are altogether free from responsible
ity in these matters.
One of the foremost lawyers in our
town has said, "Why should you wo-
men talk about authorizing when
City per cent of the wot.en violate
the law nearly every day" Being
asked what he menat, he said. play
ing cards for prizes" What change
women leading the way as law-break-
ers
To the women of Greenville there
fore we appeal, no less to the men, 10
lobserve all laws, thereby building up
a law-respecting law-abiding public
sentiment. which is our surest pro-
lection against outbreaking criminal
ity.
