because OF intoxicants He appointed
a commission on drunkenness whose
report is powerful arraignment of
the liquor traffic, and is widely quoted
as modern authority.
In the fall of 1915, Mr.. Foss being
convinced that national prohibition
was the only ultimate solution of the
evil of the liquor traffic and believ-
ing that this issue should be taken
up by the Republican party made a
strenuous fight toward this end and
was finally compelled to announce his
own candidacy for governor on the
Republican ticket with national pro-
hibition as the paramount issue. He
was defeated, but undaunted he went
before the Republican state conven.
ton and made an appeal for a pro.
hibition plank in the platform, but
was again turned down.

is a necessity as business, moral
and political policy, and impressed
with the wonderful results obtained
in prohibition states here and abroad.
Mr.. Foss is still working in every
way possible to promote the cause. To
this end he is a candidate for the
presidential nomination on the Pro-
hlbition party ticket because he real
ICES that prohibition without an ad-
ministration organized for it's en-
forcement would fail of the results
desired. He stands for prohibition
enthroned as principle of admins
trative government.

Mr.. Foss has shown by his record
that he puts principle above party
and right above expediency. He com.
bines the qualities most to be desired
in a man seeking the highest office
within the gift of the American peo-
pie, broad business training, practical

Mr.. Foss, or the "Old Boy" as he is
affectionately known throughout New
England, commends himself to every
voter in Minnesota who wants to make

quirements.
