THE CHALLENGE STANDS OPEN.

The statement that The Times-Dis-
patch's "favorite slogan" is that
every man has right to drink liquor
TO his comfort is a small attempt to
create the impression that The Times
DISPATCH invites and subtly encourages
the individual man to drink liquor ana
condones and indorses him In his cups.
The insinuation is falsified by the
whole record OF The Times-Dispatch.
