Editor of The Copper Era
1 find that many of my Clifton
friends are wondering why 4 have
taken such a determined stand
against prohibition-owing to the fact
that l am such a strong total abb
stainer and have been long before l
put my foot on Colorado's soil, over
twenty-seven years ago, and Is years
of that time in Clifton. They seem
to be under the impression that all
the proposed amendment stands for
is to ''close the saloons" when l ask
them, Have you read the proposed
amendment they say no. l have
had no time, but / want to close the
saloons, and they think that is all
there is to it, This is pure careless
ness on every voters part. They
should read and know what the
amendment means to them Mr.. Us
born, Secretary of State, has sent to
every voter pamphlet containing all
the proposed amendments to be voted
on next Tuesday, and which should
be read before election day, SO all
may Enow what they are consc1ent1-
ously voting for. 1 am so dead against
the saloons as any ultra fana: ical
prohibitionist in Clifton or anywhere
in Arizona-not excepting their chief
Mr.. Rinehart, but what am dead
against is the drastic and b1goted
provisions of the proposed amendment
when it prohibits wine for medicinal
or sacramental purposes infringing on
religious rights that should be held
sacred and alcohol for compromising
prescriptions None of the above are
allowed to cross over the Arizona line
under any pretense whatever, with
severe penalties for violations. It's
the most drastic and bigoted amend
ment ever written and should be
voted down.
Saint Paul, the Apostle, advised
Timothy of old to take little vine
for thy stomach's sake and thine other
infirmities," but Mr.. Rinehart's argu-
ments are that even a little wine Is
harmful and presumes to think with
his arrogance that our good old friend
St Paul didn't know straight up"
about the evil consequences of little
wine and that, anyhow he is the great
/ am at present in Arizona well, well,
dear mel he is not to me by long
way. Those of you that are Chris
tians are YOU prepared to follow the
advice of Mr.. Rinehart, the fine
specimen that the above article writes
about? (How' would you like for him
to be owing you that money, and had
to go to court and collectO and turn
down the teachings of St. Paul the, ser
want of God, that you profess to wor-
ship like myself? Those of you that
purposes and felt better after 1t are
you going to have Mr.. Rinehart die
tate and tell you that it was all
nonsense, and that you were actually
worse only you were not aware OF 1t?
Turn Mr. Rinehart down, and his
drastic and bigoted amendment, and
stand by the advice of our good old
friend st. Paul, and take little wine
when needed. l would do that my
self. I should like for all the voters
to spare the few minutes time and
read the proposed amendment and not
go to the polls not knowing what they
are voting for.
have nothing to gain either way,
whether the proposed amendment wins
or loses, but owing to it's drastic and
bigoted provisions that every voter
should know about. 1 can't consci-
entiously vote for it. 1 have been
told that Virginia has gone dry" Yes
that's good. Have you read the
amendment? No, 1 have not! have
been too busy so these are the kind
of people that has been wondering
why 1 take such a determined stand
against Arizona's drastic and bigoted
amendment.
The Virginia amendment and Ari-
zona's proposed amendment are no
more alike than chalk is like cheese.

most to me reads as follows: "Prohib-
it's manufacture and sale of alcohol,
whiskey and brandy in Virginia, ex-
cept strictly for scientific, sacrificial,
medicinal and mechanical purposes. !"
How does that compare with the
Arizona amendment? ardent spirits,
ale, beer, wine or intoxicating liquor
or liquors of whatever kind shall not
be manufactured in, or introduced into
the state of Arizona under any pre-
