Look Into The Records And
Habits OF The Candidates,

The liquor interests Of Kentucky
claim to be In favor Of the county
unit laws OF Kentucky because they
know the State is Overwhelmingly dry
and that the people are itching for q
chance to vote 4 that way. Also, be-
cause the present laws permit them
TO ship liquor into the dry counties
No temperance man should allow him
self to be fooled into voting for the
candidates Of the liquor interests be-
cause they claim to be for the county
unit. Before you make up your mind
IN the Gsyernor's, race look carefully
into the records and habits OF all the
candidates and find who the liquor
people are supportins.-Bis sandy
