Get Out And Vote At The Option
Election Monday Remember A
Vote Not Cast IS A Vote For Saloons
Form Of County Option Ballot
. How to Vote for DRY" County
Shall the sale of liquor be prohibited!
COUNTY OPTION ELECTION.

Monday, Beltrami county will
7 hold county option election.
Monday, the voters Of Bel
trami county will decide whether
or not this county should have
=. saloons. ~zi .
You are the sole judge, Mr..
Voter, and we ask that you give
the matter your earnest consid-
GRAFTON. Ask yourself whether.
the county would be better OF
with saloons or without saloons.
The Pioneer stands with the
people at every stage of the
game. Ourshonest endeavor is to
stand sponsor for the people and
we hope that our efforts now
are meeting with the approval
of the majority Of the citizens
of Beltrami county.
The Pioneer is for ''dry''
county. The Pioneer believes
that Beltrami county is better off
without saloons.
Cold figures and facts show
that in every state, county and
city where prohibition has gone
into effect, financial, economical
and social conditions were great
ly bettered. Saloon men are un-
able to successfully dispute this.
The "wets'' in Beltrami coun-
ty have seen the handwriting on
the wall and they are flooding
the country with literature.
Their greatest strength, perhaps,
lies in the fact that they appre-
ciate their own weakness and the
/ precarious condition they are
now in. They see that In or.
der to carry out their nefarious
trade they must get out and
fight and they are employing
every means to win. They will
see that everyone who wants sa-
looms in Beltrami county will get
out and vote to that effect next
Monday. -. ,..-,S&. .,s-ss.~--..~
The weakness Of the 'tdry"
cause is that q great many people
think that the question: does not
affect them so vitality after all;
they do not drink and no harm
will befall them even If the
county should remain "wet." A
great many people think that If
some poor drunken fool doesn't
know enough to stay sober and
save his money, it is his lookout,
not theirs. -..
But is it? T.. -.z. ....
Every resident of Beltrami
county is as vitality interested in
the saloon question as the sa-
loon men. .z...@ - ....s...
Every cent the liquor inter-
ests lose is directly your gain.
The money that would have been
squandered in a saloon will,
when the saloons are abolished,
be distributed to the products
which you have to sell, be it
farm products, merchandise or
labor.
Can't you see, Mr.. Voter Of
Beltrami county, that by not
voting next Monday you are
practically voting for saloons?
Get out to the polls next
Monday, leave your work for q
short time and vote one way or
the. other, but vote. Express
your convictions and don't let
someone else run your govern
ment for you. You can do your
self more good on that day by
voting than you could earn in a
full week of hard work.
Mr.. Voter, the entire ques-
tion of wet or dry county
is up to you next Monday. Have
in mind the interest of the coun-
ty when you go to the polls.
