YOU Vote NO

Editor Evsning Bulletins:
- One week from today Hawaii IL
to settle question, the like of
which has never heretofore been
placed before the people Of this Ter
ritory. and from what can learn,
and IL the people will vote the way
they say they will, there seems to
be nothing to fear in the, way of
trying an experiment that has failed
completely In every State where the
people have been foolish enough to
allow such u blight to be put upon
them.
II every man will go to the polls
and vote, vote the way he thinks Is
best for this Territory after having
the truths of Prohibitions cussed-
ness in other States placed so wildly
before him as has been done by the
press Of this city, do not fear for
the result.
But will every man go to the polls
and vote on July 20? Therein lies
the danger to this Territory. You
may be sure every Prohibitionist
will vote, and vote not early, but
often II he gets the chance.
II Prohibition should be sneaked
In oil dear Hawaii It will not be by
the voice of the majority. but Will
materializc through the fact that
many will think that enough votes
will he cast against Prohibition 20
sink II without the bother of their
going to the polls to put in their
one vote. Let no man entertain such
a thought Go to the polls and eX
ercise your privilege of suffrage re.
Rardless of what your reighbor may
do.
Undoubtedly there are many WIN
are in Quandary over this prohibit
ton question. They feel as I do in
regard to the liquor question. They
would like TO see the traffic con.
trolled or. better still, completely
eliminated This last condition they
will never see, neither here nor I'm
any community where man desires
liquor. When legal distilling ceases
Illicit distilling commences, and the
results are far more damaging.
The liquor traffic can be con
trolled in Hawaii as well as morta
minds and hands can do so. At the
present moment you have the power
regardless of any prohibition propa
ganda, to close every public saloor
in these Islands. Don't lose sigh
OF the fact that | said every publ,
saloon" Blind pigs you can moi
close. That problem has been wres.
tied with for over half century II
some of the Prohibition States, anC
they are actually further from thu
solution today than ever. This ques
tion has been placed before you b!
hundreds of people better versed II
the ins and outs OF II than |.
II there are any in this city to
day who are in doubt at all as re
CARDS the outcome of prohibition
law, and would seek adviee tina
they may depend on, let them turs
to the statements of their bishop
their minister or their, priest VIII
have given to the world their view
on the effects of Prohibition. YOl
who are doubtful, but who desir
to do the right thing for the goo
of Hawaii, could you ask for bette
authority?
Let me borrow n phrase. whicl
your sporting editor frequently uses
aud say, Let every prosperity fan
every fan who desires to see Hawai-
90 ahead, and not slump back int
the doldrums of stagnation, roll "a
to the polls and vote against Wool
leyism and all the attending evil
that go with such a propaganda.
