spondence) AN Anti Prohibition League has been
formed in this city with the expectation that it
will develop into state and, perhaps, national

liquor men, but will invite membership of all who
are opposed to Prohibition
The organization will lay great stress upon the
reform of the saloon; the driving out of dives
