woman suffrage. That's why the OPP
position 10 votes for women comes from
the saloons and broweries. That's why
I'm for woman suffrage. They know lf
tho women get n chance they'll remember
their suffering through the effects OF
booze and their fathers, brothers and
husbands, and they'll send the rotten
business 10 hell

eliminated from the land there would
be the greatest revival of prosperity the
world has ever seen.

The saloon has no right to exist any
place else except in hell, and I'm doing
