SHALL WE UNITE TO KILL THE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC?

SHALL WE UNITE TO KILL THE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC?
What shall this new plan be? Is
there such a plan NOW being promul-
gated?
We answer, with deep conviction,
based on wide experience, YES.
THE THREE MILLION LEAGUE
Is SUCH A PLAN.
1t is NEW Never before has SUCH
a gigantic voters pledge plan been
attempted The very audacity of the
proposition is an inspiration 20 heroic
effort.
1t is COMPREHENSIVE. Every.
body who hates the liquor traffic,
whether Prohibition, Socialist. Demo.
crat or Republican, readily enlists in
this great movement.
1t is FEASIBLE. 1t can be done II
but 100000 prohibitionists in the ma
ton would take hold of it the three
million signatures could be secured
before Christmas. That would only
be thirty names apiece, and one man
has already secured over 1000 sigma
lures. or course he has made a bust
ness OF it. BUT CAN'T WE MAKE
1T PART OF OUR BUSINESS?
Wouldn't it be a wise move TO make
one grand united effort and win out
rather than to scatter our energies
over the years, only to see the devas-
tation continued?
What will the League accomplish?
Three million signatures will force
this issue to the front
One hundred thousand signatures in
Texas will mean state prohibition with
a united party behind il. STRONG
ENOUGH TO MAKE TT EFFECTIVE.
The old pa-.ies will have it put up
to them so that they can not dodge IT,.
They MUST declare for or against II,
and doubtless they will both turn it
down, and so give impetus and snap
to the movement, and force large num-
bers to desert their standards.

A CALL TO ARMS
SHALL WE UNITE TO KILL THE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC?

\ grave crisis confronts MS The
liquor interests are united in solid
phalanx and the traffic fourishes as
never before.
The latest internal revenue report
shows the total consumption of all
liquors in this country for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1911, to have
been 2.l66.S4S,271 gallons-a per cap
tia consumption of 22.73 gallons This
is by far the largest consumption in
our history, and this showing is made
in spite of all the dry" territory.
Our forces are divided on innumer-
able inharmonious methods.
The nation is awaiting the leader
ship that will unity the foes of this
traffic.
God has prepared the hearts of the
people for this great reform.
Shall We Unite 10 Kill the Liquor
Traffic7
The method by which this is to be
done, gradually becomes clearer and
clearer, as all local option, non-parti-
san methods fail. and the political
party method looms high, as the only
logical, practical and historically ap-
proved way of accomplishing so great
q reform.
NOW THEN. The thing that ought
TO be done is to rally to the supper
of the only party that stands for the
destruction Of this traffic-the Prohi-
bition party everybody everywhere
clergy, laymen, social workers, educa'
tors. labor leaders and good citizens
generally.
BUT WILL THEY DO IT? Forty
years of earnest, honest effort by the
Prohibition party has failed to attrac;
large numbers to that standard, and
there is no immediate prospect of rap
idly augmenting the forces.
Herein lies the danger Here is the
crisis.
We must so forward, or we may
lose all
Everything depends on promptk ac-
ton.
Too much is at stake to be lightly
passed by.
The welfare, yes, even the per
petuity of the nation, and with thai
the uplift of the whole world, hinges
on the outcome of this struggle.
MEN, listen, 1t is up to us. the God
fearing men of the prohibition hosts
OF America.
SHALL WE UNITE TO KILL THE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC? Now it is eyi-
dent that some new, comprehensive,
feasible. popular plan must be de-
vised to effect that UNION at the bal
lot box which is essential to putting
in power a party that will be true TO
the high ideals Of our forefathers, and
will give us a government free from
graft, injustice, class legislation and
partnership with vice; a government
of the people, for the people, and by
the people, and withal a government
