HERE TO STAY.
The following is quoted from a letter
written by Senator Moses e. Clapp of
Minnesota to George ". Perkins, chair
man of the Progressive national COM
mittee: 1.-THE prohibition movement to
day differs from that movement In
other times. When you and l were
boys, every spring there was seen a
temperance agitation and everybody
took the pledge. Some kept 1t and
some did not. The present movement
is entirely different. There is no hys-
terra or excitement about it. 1t is
simply a calm, deliberate judgment on
the part of the American people, from
the man who employs to the man who
is employed, that the saloon is a men
ace. Having come in this quiet way,
free from hysteria and excitement, and
as a result of deliberate Judgment, l
am inclined to think it is here to stay,
and if times are good, is liable to be
more of a factor than We sometimes
suppose"
