State Wide Prohibition 1o1

State Wide Prohibition 1910.
The greatest issue that will
be, decided by the people of Mis-
souri at the general election. in
1910 will be- that of statewide
prohibition. Under the inititiave
and referendum. less, than $4,000
petitioners can submit to the vo-
ters this great question. Petitions
for this purpose are now in the
hands OF. the people in all parts
OF the State and thousands of
signatures have already been Sc
cured. In a, very few weeks the
requisite petitions will be in the
hands of tn secretary of STATE.
He will then have no choice but
to place the issue on the official
ballot and submit it to the vote
of the people. Il
The submission, of the ques-
ton, therefore, in the. next gen.
eral election is inevitable wheth-
er we believe in wisdom of SUBJ
mission or not. The only alter
native that now remains open to
any citizen is as to which side of
the issue he will support with
his vote and influence. In No
vember, 1910, about 100000
Christian, voters will answer this
momentous question. The state
| committee OF the constitutional
amendment association awaits
with confidence the, enlightened
verdict OF the people.
The mighty conflict will de.
cice the future of the great i'm
perial state that lies in the very
heart of the Republic and forms
the great commercial gateway
OF the West. The most stupen.
dous brewing interests in the
world are located in the metrop.
