This Is the slogan Of the anti
amendment forces In starting out on
the week before the final one OF the
campaign against the constitutional
amendment, campaign which the

won, but are cautioning their follow

to work a trick on them In the last

reported at headquarters that the

of the campaign. That practically adj

As viewed by the campaign leaders
