who are now contributing to the growth and prosperity
of the State, and whose descendants will continue to be
influential in South Dakota matters, long after Mr. Hol-
saple and his imported agitators have sought newer and
greener fields.
Bear in mind the following facts: There is no ques-
ton of the use of liquor involved in this issue. The Pro-
hibitionists have in their advertisements admitted that
liquor can be obtained the same under Prohibition an
now. This being true, and when the Prohibihonists ad-
vertise such to be the fact-it must be true, then what is
to be gained by giving up the revenue, legal control and
home government for the deplorable and Iawless con-
ditions that follow in the wake of Prohibition?

Citizens of South Dakota

A question of major Importance to the State will be
settled by your vote at the election November 7th. Shall
the right of self -g~overnment, majority rule and legal con-
troll be endorsed by retention of the local option law, or
shall we substitute therefor a policy that has proved a
failure in every State in which it has been tried?
In support of our contention that local option is a
temperance measure" we have, through the medium Of
the public press, given you evidence of the most dam
aging character against so-caled Prohibition as recorded
in the newspapers of Prohibition States. We have illus
trated the conditions as they truly exist, and no denial
has been attempted oy those who would force prohibitory
control on this State.
The campaign of those who would rob the cities and
townships of their right to self government, has been
