enough TO voluntarily deprive
the State Treasury of this great

increase in state tax figure
promptly in the report from prac-
tically every county. Without
doubt, the recent election
in Maine in which the Dem
Ocratic party was triumphantly
successful because its platform
was pledged to a re submission
of Statewide Prohibition and
the fact that Oklahoma, after a
trial of only four short years,
will vote on a repeal of an act of
the same kind, is having a
mighty SOLDERING effect upon the
average Missouri voter. Here are
concrete examples a thousand
fold more eloquent and reliable
than the illusions of any State
wide Prohibition orator. That
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican state platforms are pledg.
ed to local option as against
Statewide Prohibition has also
had a far reaching effect, for
average party man believes in
standing by his platform on
great public questions. These
are the chief reasons why, from
present prospects, the voters
OF Missouri will refuse to com
this state to a policy on No

us into the same commercial and

now characterizes such states
