eili gei that last scdIon of tie
amendment and print IL every das
until the election
Again taking up his line or argu
ment he said They may cloud The
issues as much as they can. muddy
the waters and conjme up from the
depths OF evil false issues to distract
the people but in spite this attempt

that reason | shall vote against L
Now, the man who believes the sa-
loon is good thing, who believes
it is not undermining the state gov

ought to get on the other side an
vote for dear life against the amend

why some of his best friends dis.
agreed with him He said he wanted
to suggest to this great audience
that after awhile when the CLOUDS OF

| If statewide prohibition is not right

the saloon then local option is not
right for the county because some
