What the Local Option saloon Did to
One South Dakota Citizen

As prisoner in the county jail
at Sioux Falls | have had the
chance to read a number of articles
for and against the open saloon in
South Dakota
The utter falsity and absurdi:y
Of the stand taken by those who
would handicap and cripple the
prosperous and progressive future
of South Dakota and its citizens by
granting license to the open
saloon. prompts me to place in
your hands the following facts.
On August 20, 1916, was found
in an alley in helpless, maudlin
stupor caused by drinking whisky
and placed under arrest Being
coatless, penniless and having a
general appearance of worthless
ness. was truthfully and legally a
vagrant and sentenced to 50 days
in Jail. thereby becoming a useless
and unnecessary burden and expense
to the county.
AS an active, constant patron of
the open, licensed saloon for the
past eight years, | am in a position
to state exactly just what peculiar
benefits and privileges it furnishes
its prey.
1t decreased my earning capacity
from 500 to $40 a month when
employed.
1t wholly eradicated my self
respect.
1t caused a total loss of ambition
to be Of use to myself or anyone
else.
1t at times forced me to dress in
such manner as to disgust a self
respecting scarecrow.
In fact, it took out Of my life

sacrifice Of better mental and moral

AN APPEAL.


The vice interests Of the whole
country are pouring thier money
into this State for the purpose of
defeating woman suti rage. The
WON en- Of our State and al! fair
minded men, should rise in their
might and smite this monster
machine that dares, in its wiley
way, to use every avenue possible
to attempt to prejudice the voters
against granting 70 the women Of
South Dakota the right of the
ballot. If the voters Of this State
are to be influenced in their de-
cisions, why not take the opinions
of the great men of our Nation.
They are openly endorsing this
movement. President Wilson
believes in it: Judge Hughes, Re-
publican candidate for the Pre-
sidency, is a strong advocate of it.
All political parties, both National
and State, have woman suffrage
plank in their platform.
Our State Universal Franchise
League, which has an organization
in nearly every county and
numbers its members BY the
thousands, is not monied organiza-
ton, since it is composed of the
women Of South Dakota who are
not women Of wealth. We have no
large treasury with which to meet
these Insldious attacks, and for
that reason. we are appealing To
men and women to do all in their
power, by word. and deed and
gift, to purge our elections from
the influence Of these outside in
terests, and our especial appeal to
the men Of our State Is that they
vote ~ rs on Amendment
Number s, which grants the right
Of suffrage to women.

SUGGESTIONS that voters
upon entering the booth on
election day should mark the
constitutional amendment bal
lot first, are worthy of con-
sideration. Records of the past
show that proposed amend
ments, often of great impor-
lance to the people, have been
overlooked by many thou
sands of voters. But the
suggestions may we'll be
carried farther. There will
be three ballots at the election
next Tuesday. all handed to
the voter at the same time.
The two small ones, those on
WnlCn the amendment and
the county division questions
are submitted, should both be
marked and folded separately

proceeds to mark his or her

who desires not to overlook
any of the offices, should
begin with the non-partisan

can SO easily escape notice.
