Will Petition Congress.

The United German Societies OF the

against the Sheppard bill, which provides
for local prohibition. Memb bers OF the

The United German Societies of the
District OF Columbia, representing thou
sands Of citizens resident in this District.
oppose prohibition as a privstion OF the
inherent rights and an unwarranted in
terferenCe with their habits and privi-
leges, and as an absolutely unnecessary
measure in such a temperate community
as the District Of COlum bia, and upon
other social and economic ana Legal
grounds.
The United German Societies Of the
District of Columbia authorize that a Pc
ution opposing the pending prohibition
bills in Congress and urging Congress not
TO enact a prohibition measure for the
District OF Columbia without a referen-
dunn upon the question be promulgated
in this District.
The United German Societies Of the
District Of Columbia call upon all citi-
zens and residents OF the District who
are of similar views to sign this petition,
to the end that Congress may in the ab-
sence OF hearings having been held upon
the subject, be made aware Of the views
Of the people OF the District upon this
subject"
