The campaign waged by the foreign brewery and liquor corporations
under the name of the socaned South Dakota Local Option League"

Every known thief and bawd in South Dakota, every known gambler
and plugugy in the state has lined up under the banners of the South
Dakota Local Option League" to save the state for the saloon and dive in
terests. DON'T FORGET THAT.
Without a single exception, from the president down, every alleged
Official OF this alleged League" has always fought for license when the
saloon question was up and has always fought for everything that the
saloon wanted locally orn the state legislature. DON'T FORGET THAT.
SO rank has this been that more than one-fourth of the county presi-
dents OF the alleged organization have repudiated the fake, publicly de-
caring that the use of their names in connection with the fake organi-
zahon wa not authorized and denounced the forgery o. their names.
DON'T FORGET THAT.
The alleged statistics of the vets of depIorable conditions said to
GET Thai. - '"s"9 'N '' ~
The letters and the paid advertising of the vets is not prepared by the
officers at all but by a paid emmssary Of the vets of the outside organiza-
tons located at Sioux Falls. DON'T FORGET THAT.
They have hid behind a postoa6ce box in Huron, South Dakota, the
their trail. DON'T FORGET THAT.

You can not promote sobriety and thrift by opening saloons for the
promotion Of drunkenness and sloth.
You can not promote chastity and clean living by operating brohels
in communion with dirty saloons.
Let the news so out over the wires n the night of November 7 that
South Dakota has repudiated the saloon, the dive, the gambling hell and
has decided to join the 19 other clean, dry states.
So vote on November 7 that if your son asks you if you voted for
the saloons you will not have to tell him that it is none of his business.
Sovote on November 7 that when your little daughter comes to YOU
at night you can give her a fathers kiss and look her square in The face.
Don't vote to set trap for the destruction of your little ones.
