Give me a man." he would say. 'one man in q community. and I win get all the rest done" so the third advantage to the sonth. she should say. was that it had ' lots of men, magnificent men. who. notwithstanding the habits of thirst credited to them, did not fear to do the right thing when they were con vinced what it was and that it was 1 necessary. They were ready to do it without so much of counting the most as the men of other parts of the coun- 1 try were accustomed 10.
 \ fourth reason was that they were not so much bothered with the fear of democrat and Republican" as the people. of the north They were po- liiicaily homogeneous. and their politic al homeeneity was worth something to them in this case. A republican had no show to he elected in the sonth: as T consequence all that the democrats had to do was to fight it on. among themselves.
 Not only had the sonth had men in this fight for prohibition. but it had had women as we'll Not only had the men of the south. when sam Jones died --Jonos who had said that no saloon could live in the town where he lived and had made good his word by driv- ing the saloons out of CartersviIle. Georgia-risen in righteous and effect i've indignation when the saloon men had said they would establish the sa- looms there again. now that sam Jones was dead. but it had also women who, though they were naturally and ordin- arily the most shrinking of women in their bearing toward public affairs. and she thought almost unanimous against the extension of the ballot to women.
