\ Speaking OF the work Of the league
and its plans, H III. Rood, editor OF
the Issue and superintendent OF the
Detroit district, skd to The Times:
.rThe ultimate object of the league
Is TO drive the saloon from every
rouare foot Of BIichigan's soil and
from every square mile Of our ma
tioi1al domain. The slogan OF the
league II. The solution OF the saloon
problem Is no saloon The league
furnishes a platform upon which all
& ,od citizens of all parties and ereeds
who hate the saloon can stand and
battle Il to the death. Today, with
41.0O0,0O0. of our pop ulation living In
inhibition territory, $4,000 saloons
put out OF business in the past i've
Years. 80 counties in Michigan dry,
more than 200 saloons and is brew
cries compelled 10 close, with 25 coun-
ties now in the fight and voting the
first Monday IN April, there is Just one
word that ought TO rfrig in the ears
OF al decent citizens who love righte-
BUSINESS and hate iniqr1ity, and that
enc word IL forward
THE people recognize their respon-
sihilities In. this great campaign and
the. funds are being subscribed for
the work In exceedingly encouraging
way.
n want to say, too, thar the leagues
attorney, Mr.. Marsh, is deserving or
much credit for the fight that was
made in the case OF Ploof VS.. the
township board Of Bangor. In this
case an effort was, made to establish
4 saloon In place OF one that quit. Mr..
Marsh contended that the establish
mont would be violation OF the
Warner. Cramton law. which provides
that there shall be but one saloon to
every 500 Inhabitants, and that no
new saloon shall be established in
the place OF one that voluntarily quits,
unless the proportion is less than one
saloon to every 500 people. The su.
preme court upheld him. Now. IL the
spirit or the law be enforced in De
trbit and the rest Of the state, II viii
mean the elimination of hundreds OF
saloons"
