1t will be a relief to us all when

President Wilson is tipping along

Chain Defends Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 24.-Milwau-
kee. frequently called the "City of
Breweries," is, in fact a stronghold
of prohibition.
This statement is vouched for by
Eugene w. Chain, prohibition ex-can-
didate for president. So favorably i'm
pressed is Mr. Chain with the prohibit
ton tendencies Of Milwaukee, that he
has selected this city as the place in
which to begin the work OF raising a
$1.0O0,000 campaign fund for the cleo
ton in 1916.
1T seems strange that people
should think Of Milwaukee as a city Of
beer drinkers" said Mr. Chain. The
returns Of the last election show that
the vote against saloons in Milwaukee
was larger, according TO population,
than was that Of any other American
city"
