And the cause of prohibition goes
marching on in Illinois, too. In the
county elections up there on that
issue Tuesday, twenty counties voted
dry and in a little more than sixty
other counties the prohibition vote
was SO large as to give good hopes
OF victory when the issue is fought
over again the next time. II is all
right to talk about personal liberty
and sunnptuary laws and that sort
of thing, but the fact seems to be
that the American people have set
