cocaine in all their forms, drastic as to amount

hibtion of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic bev

asserted with greatest emphasis that the expulsion of
the saloon from a municipality spelled financial dsas

More About the National Farmers Union

Some time ago the Issue mentioned the fact that
the National Farmers Union being exploited in
the interests of the liquor dealers There is
question but that the rank and file of the membership
are in favor of no-lcense but it appears that the lead
ers of that organization have sold to the liquor
interests.
Peter Radford, general publicity for the
Union is furnishing free plate matter to the news
papers throughout the country In this plate matter
Radford takes an occasional fling at Prohibition. No
doubt many editors are using his stuff,
pecting for a moment that they working in the
cause Of the vets by doing. An editorial appear
ing in the Bonham (Texas) News throws some light
on Radord and the work he is doing in the interests
of the brewers and distillers. We quote from this
editorial:
Through Peters influence the national brewers and Ii
quor dealers last year deceving the farmers
openly opposing in refraining from supporting

er Union, Secretary Arnold somebody else in writing
stirring appeals against equal suffrage that his Radford)
friends the brewery and liquor dealers, do

watch little closely they will the following Peter
headed straight the camp of the fellows that and
always have been opposed the things that for
farmers best interests.
The American Press, from which quote the
Bonham News editorial, makes the statement that
Texas publishers generally dropped the use of these
free plates months ago. and predicts that the publish
ers of other states will doubtless do when they be-
come acquainted with the motive that prompts the
work of Peter Radford.
