final WORD D TO
the VOTERS

For weeks The Colorado Business
Mems Home Rule League has pointed out
the evils and harmful results of Blanket
Prohibitory Laws in the states that have
already tried them.
We have shown that II American
commonwealths have rejected State Wide
Prohibition after sad experiences.
We have shown the deplorable
conditions now existing in the eight re-
naming states.
We have proven our contention that
Colorado's present effective Local Option
Law is far better than State Wide Pro-
hibition by quoting to you the actual
opinions of the country's greatest leaders
and thinkers men of national promi-
nence-whose observations are worthy of
your serious consideration.
We have shown that State Wide
Prohibition would mean big economic loss
to Colorado would deprive every com.
munity Of the right of self-government,
would destroy our valuable tourist business
and would NOT stop the sale of liquor.
