Now be careful how You answer,

hands of the church people of this
country Shut up don't believe it.
Yes. Lowry, that is right; the very
day that all the Methodists. Baptists
and Presbyterians cease to vote for
me that day stop stock still, never
to go again The power of the
saloon is the votes of the church peo
pie of this country. What Is your
raw material? Bright American
boys" Here MIR. Lowry called to the
platform two little boys and said
These boys are such as many n poor
drunkard was once. but now he Is Ia
the gutter of sin" Then he read
speech made before a liquor dealers
convention in Columbus. O.. in which
il was urged that the only way toI
perpetuate the business is to build
up the appetite in the boys.
An Appetite for Drink.
1T will appear from these facts.
gentlemen. that the success of our
business is dependent largely upon
the creation OF appetite for drink
die. If there Is no new appetite ere
ated. our counters will be empty as
well as our money drawers. Our cnil
dren will go hungry. or we must
cnange our business to that OF some
other more remuneratiye. The open
field for the creation of this appetite
is among the boys After men are
grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change In this re
gard 1t will be needful. therefore
that missionary work be done among
the boys. and | make the suggestion
gentlemen, that nickels expended in
treats to the boys, now. win return
in dollars to your ILLS after the appe
lite has been formed. Above all things
create the appetite"

nable thing. anu yet of course thai
is what they must do. create the ap'
petite" or else 30 out of business.
l know that liquor men try to deny
that this statement was ever made, but
can produce sworn statement given
out by the man who was present and
heard it, If necessary.
Turning to the mill again. Lowry
said: What Is your raw maierial?'
Bright American boys" Turn on
your power, give us these boys; but
what is that hear?" A man from
the audience cries: Not that boy. he
is my boy. he is my boy But, who
are you? This is an American instl-
tuition, she has got to run. What do
We care for you Give me this boy.
What is that / hear--another cry?
1t is mother" What that boy. he
is the joy of my home, the hope OF
my life. you can't have him" Shut
your mouth, who are you, what are
American women and children, this is
an American machine supported by
the vote of its people and 1t has got
to run. It would be Just as Impossible
| TO run sawmill without logs as Il
would be TO run a ginmill without
boys" What is your finished arti
cle?" taere MIR. Lowry dismissed th'
boys) Let us go down TO the quite
