Dear Sir; | have previous to this
twice written you proposing that in
fairness to the people of Oklahoma
you join us in selecting number of
representative business men-men who
have stood always for Oklahoma's
good name and best interest--to in
vestigate and report the exact condi-
tions created by prohibition, in this
state.
You have lodged and quibbled but
have evaded entirely this proposal.
The time is short and | therefore re-
peat this request in the hope that
you will give it your immediate at
tention. In the selection Of these men
our only demand will be that they be
free minded, fair men, open to con-
viction and willing to tell the people
exactly what they find regarding law
enforcement, corruption and graft in
connection with prohibition.
If you refuse to accept this, third
proposal made to you, we and the pub
lie will be bound to understand that
your refusal Is prompted by guilty
knowledge Of the facts and fear Of
results.
| desire to call your attention also
to the fact that instead of taking the
people into your confidence as we have
done, you are making what appears
to US to be studied misrepresentation
regarding the law initiated by the peo-
pie and to be voted ON November 9Th.
You have absolutely deserted pro
lhibition so far as making any claims
for its morality or virtue.
You know that prohibition has Great

You know that in every populous
community in Oklahoma there are
more blind tigers and bootlegging
joints than their were regulated sa-
looms during the license days and you
also know that practically every popu-
lous city in the state in Oklahoma po-
lice records show more crime and
more drunkenness than ever existed in
the state before.
You know that the internal revenue
department reports nearly nineteen

reaching for them they burst on their

people will make excuses to keep bless

greatest excuses of today, worldliness
and so much to give up. The Gospel
only requires that men give up sin and
evil associations. These are the only
things that bring sorrow and death.
