Why We Should Work for Pro-
hibitiOn i'm 1910.

We should work for prohibition
10 1910 because it is the only
sensible thing to do. We have
nothing to lose, everything to
gain. Some of our cautious
friends ask this: "What if we
should be defeated in 1902"
We are not going to be de-
feated, but if such a thing should
occur we would not be a whit
the worse off. We would not lose
a single dry county nor a dry
town. We would hold all we
have; what are left are already
wet cities and wet counties and
their latter state is no worse than
their former.
Even if we lost we would be
better off than before we had the
prohibition campaign. Why?
Because this is to be an educa-
tional campaign. The influence
OF thought and judgment once
awakened, and added to public
conscience once aroused, cannot
be stopped by a defeat at the
polls. 1t will go on and on,
bringing victory later. Two x
amples prove this: Iron county
lost her local option election and
inside of six months after, every
saloon was closed in her county
by defeating saloon petitions;
fancy county lost her local option
election and in fifteen months
time had closed every saloon in
her borders in the same way.
The sooner we work for prohi-
Ibition, the better. The hardest
things we have to contend with are,
First, our large city population
which is c~onfessedly wet; second.
the colossal brewery interests o.
the state. To-day Missouri's
great cities contain but two
seventies of the voters of the state.
The fve-sevenths are in the Sec
tions where the drys are in the
majority. Every year increases
the city's population of voters
over the country and towns. st
Louis to -day has three-fourths O.
a million people. She will have {
million by 1912. Which is easier
20 make dry, a city of three.
fourths of a million, or a city of
million people?
1t is estimated that we have il
Missouri to-day five Thousand
more law-breakers than we had a
year ago. Five thousand NOR
gamblers, confidence men, pros
titutes and boot-leggers than w
had a year ago. They came from
Oklahoma, Georgia and Tennes
see, since they went dry, ant
from Kansas since she enforced
her liquor laws. We are becom
ing the dumping ground for tn
riff-raff of creation. Work TO
prohibition in 1910 will stop thi
migration.
Brewers are coming into Mis-
souri, from states where they hav'
been outlawed. st. Louis alread,
has twenty-five breweries. If W
wait four or five years she vii
have thirty. Will it be easier t
fight thirty breweries tomorrow
than it will be to fight twenty -tw
to-day?
There is but one logical answer
work for prohibition in 1910.
