We take the measure OF the county

government once IN -FOUR years
Won ara going to take the measure
of Colorado on the 5th OF Novem-
bar to see whether you will have sa-
ioops ali the time. You have the
nreacher and the teacher ana the
conscience and in our civil govern
ment we take the measure by put
ting that conscience in the ballot
ox and finally on the law book,
When Washington became president
there was a state lottery in every
state in the union. We were q ma
tion of gamblers. not q church or
college or school house built with
ont a lottery, but the old Puritan
conscience awakened in 1921 and
four lines was added to the consti-
tuition and the lottery stamped In
New York and soon to the other
constitutions except Louisiana
which took another generation to
come up to this high standard.
"Do not forget this is due to an
educated Christian conscience crys-
talized in the ballot box and the law
book. The Anglo-Saxon race in
1900 years has never lost moral
battle, it won on the slavery Ques-
ton. Some times it has taken If
teen years and some times q hun
lred, some times five hundred. We
are fighting the greatest evil In the
world, the liquor trafic. today. In
Chicago we have 1000 churches
and 1000 saloons, every one a
gambling den and a bawdy house
running seven days in the week in
violation Of. law. What is the re-
suit? We have 144 Methodist
churches there and the pastors re-
ported that in the last four years
they had lost in membership, could
not get enough new members to
take the place of those who died OF
old age. Why? Because 80 per
cent of the Methodists from bishop
down to laymen every time they
took the measure of that city. state
or nation, put their religion into
cold storage till after election and
voted the whiskey ticket. coined
their religion into brewers gold.
The church stands for everything
that is good, the liquor traffic for
everything that is bad in the
world III iS uol ioSal 4ucStIoH'
it is national. Take the churches
out of Colorado and keep them out
twelve months you could not sell
the whole state for enough at auc-
ton to pay last years taxes. I want
you to get on one side or the other,
do not sit on the fence. Remember,

it costs to run a whiskey admins
tration in girls. 1t is awful. You
are up against this question on the
5th of November. It is not our
business to succeed, 1t Is our duty to
do right. We are the descendants
of the lost ten tribes. God gave us
the heather for our Inheritance
With our great resources and our
knowledge. invention and genius we
can. If we will. destroy the liquor
traffic and give the gospel OF the
Lord Jesus Christ to the heather in
every part of the world within the
next 80 years. Columbus discov-
cred America that we might bring
