THORNALD LARSON 4 COLORADO WONANS VIEW OF PROHIBITION
her Observation Has Enabled Her To Form Correct
Conclusions AS To Results of Pronibtarv Laws
Where They Have Been Tried
e Argunlent Applies Va EauaI Force To Arizona

Her Argument Applies With Equal Force To Arizona
I have heard much during the last couple Of years since the
fade prohibition question been discussion regard
g e marvellous effect for the better had in Kansas
t1 nave zone Ce investigating Of along different
mes declared Mrs Henry Wright Of No 20l1 Court street re-
ce9 he result has been to lead that those who
are responsible Iof these stories either absolutely mistaken or
they ayIng fsr from narrow paths Of 1tbnnaes ON
more than willing for what know to be published
Mother OF large and representative family Of bor OWN for
church member and devout Christian and llnc ,1o
charitable work to the extent Of her and ability
cassed among the most careful thinking Of the city
With the advantage OF finished education naturally brilliant
and thoroughly capable of deep study on any sub
ect in which she be interested information that been
gathered by Mrs Wright is extremely interesting at this time
What have been able to gather iquorsel
ing has been stopped any apprecabe manner ahoh tho
supposed have dry for 25 years that drunken
ness more prevalent there than here minors and chill
den and Indians victims Of the boceggers rot and that
crime and poverty are still on the increase regardless of the glow
ing tales to the contrary find that Kansas frghtful taxes
due to The elimination Of from liquor selling which is going
ustthe largely responsible for many the communi
Overun With Affections
The recent report Of Fred Bur of the DOOR in
Sedgwc county, Kansas indicates that instead Of lack Of
er insanity and sickness in the state that Kansas actually i
overwhelmed with his Affections His staamen published in the
local tends to exactly the points desire to make
land that is that prohibition has not resulted any less drinking
any poverty any less sickness or nsanv # ror
has eliminated the eliminated the supervision Of
MY own experiences as result Of
nf
wide prohibition and the reports of commissioners Of moor
merely confirm what | already knew to be true
n Topeka last there 725 people arrested for drunken
ness 180 arrested for selling liquor without license and ~
arrested for conducting dsordey houses This all in state
which for years has been dry and which now s an hold m
las a shining example for Colorado o initiate
Kansas with her million start over Colorado uac ,no
approach the that COLORADO in gains er co
show lack OF of them actually havno Slid
backward while Topeka the capital originally much
larger than Pueblo surpassed by this city according to the
last report And Puebos progress has nothing but
seady natural growth unaded by booms sensational activity
Io any kind
In conclusion let say that do believe in hypocrisy
always willing what convinced truth rhgard
who may be offended Those who Kansas up as shin
ing example of the goes of prohibition to be censored if
they better but the Christianity that sn
support those who responsible starting of those
lid tales they do and know they are untrue am
firm believer that there is plenty good world Of ours
bat seek in the right channels but rebels at the
thought of outsiders attempting o something upon Colorado
she want and which they must will hurt her
both morally and physically
am much opposed the liquor traffic as anyone possibly
could be- and firm opponent of ntemperance any form
and would be willing support the prohibition the exam
Of other states had not always shown backward
step think that has got to begin home In other
words | am q supporter Of what call self option
Il appeal to every in Pueblo permit sen-
place in this matter
Save the disgrace Of the opponents Of equal suffrage being per-
ed so say that the are not COM
the ballot without harm to their interests To
vote o the proposed statewide prohibition amendment
vote for ntemperance but the contrary
vote hands local situation pre-
Oklahoma you all for rigid enforcement of effect
controlling the liquor traffic and the beseech
you No the statewide prohibition coming
