Arguments In the present campaign
are not marked by much originality
They are confined chiefly to the asser-
ton on the one hand that better regu-
latlon can be obtained by the local OPP

liquor traffic must lead inevitably to
more drunkenness and crime, Both sides
have found ardent champions.

which an unusual number OF men turned
out to applaud the prohibition speeches.

a good margin. and indicating that the

who believe In maintaining the present
law are using The argument of health 10
