Another heirloom that is not out

Wall Street was betting odds on

Even after election day Wall street

One old political tradition still re-

that tradition would not long remain

president during that period, it is
said.
The women voters did not do what
some of their leaders declared they
were going to do. Those leaders
started out to beat Wilson because the
democrats had failed to pass a WOm-
an suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution, and they worked for
Hughes because he declared in favor
Of such an amendment, although his
party's platform did not SO declare.
Yet in spite of the activities of the
Hughes Womens Special train, the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-

about ten out Of the twelve woman
suffrage states. Illinois and Oregon
were exceptions to this general rule.

There are other classes of voters
also which apparently were not de-

MAKE THE VOTE DECISIVE

Milbank has been for about nine
months without saloons, and the
great difference in the town is
al eady noticeable. Even those who
have heretofore been in favor Of the
license system, if honest with
themselves, must admit the improv
ed conditions, There are no places
vomiting out drunken men and half
drunken men upon the streets, and
if there is drinking it is done in
private and not in the boisterons
public manner that the saloon
invites and encourages at all times.
AS the saloon becomes a thing OF
the past there will be less and less
Of even this private drinking, as the
practice will neither be fashionable
nor desirable as business PROPOSE
ton. With the improved condl-
tions SO apparent to all, we appeal
to the voters of Milbank to again
put their seal Of condemnation upon
the saloon. Should the saloon by
any possibility be voted back 1t
will only have temporary lease OF
life, and serve to keep up a
continual strife on this question.
The state vote this fall will
undoubtedly be for prohibition, and
even if it should not, the people OF
Milbank will never again rest
contented with the licensed saloon
in the community. Make the vote
so overwhelming that it will be
settled at this election once for all.
