your county must be different from anv

is true as shown by the conditions ex.
isting on the Eastern Shore where con.
ditions were so bad that the last leQis
lature had to pass another prnhibitory
measure limiting the amount each man
should have in any one month to one
gallon OF whisFey and twelve bottles

A man who knows the conditions
that exist at Benedict lin your county

In a legitimate way and everything is
open and above board, than in Calvert
County, where the conditions are horri-
BILE, yet Calvert County is local op--
ton county.
Among other thugs he cited the
Germans as an example, since it is well
known that the Germans ars a class 81
citizens that taks their drink but

He SAID there was more drunkenness
among the members OF that race in
Calvert County than be had ever
known to which be attributed the rea-
son that it was q local option county
where the whiskey or whatever else
they drank or took into their system
was obtained through iliega methods.
A drummer once told me that there
was no necessity for travelling sales
man.to take whiskey into Calvert Coun-
ty because he could get all he wanted.
In view If these conditions therefore,
| would urge your people to ponder
well and think what the results will be

that high license with strict regulation

local option or prohibition measure you
can pass. l don't know your views on
this matter as have seen to reference
