Reasons for Voting Alaska Dry

Because: The liquor business em- ploys only one-third as many men for the money invested that any other business does.
 Because: It retards the develop ment of Alaska and It's people.
 Because: There are 565, ,0OD liquor made orphans in the United States.
 Because: Our drink bill would pay a five years course of education for 100000 children.
 Because: The licensed saloon is making 100000 drunkards annually. one boy in every five dies a drunkard.
 Because 1t has been proven that al- cohol has no food value; 1t is a pois- on. lowers xitality. lessons efficiency, is degenerating and destructive to man.
 Because: The cost of added crime, idiocy. insanity and pauperism, caus- ed by drink paid for by direct taxa ton. exceeds 100000 a year. In Col orado the expense caused by drink is double the revenue from the saloons.
 Because: Ninety per cent of the inmates of the State Homes for De- pendent Children are there because of drink. "Eighty-fve per cent of the prisoners in the State penitentiaries are there because of drink" Because: AS defective link weakens the whole chain, so the state is weakened by it's derelict citizens; and the State has a right to prohibit that which makes a man less valuable as a citizen.

RALLIES HAVE LOST MILLION MEN IN sOMA6E OFFENSIVE

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-British and French divisions, with total of over one million men, have been totally annihilated in the somme battle, says the military critic of the Overseas News Agency. According to the fg- 'ures from Swiss sources, as given by the news agency, the Russian losses from June 1 to October 2 were about one million men.
 The News Agency's military critic writes:
 "The heavy sacrifices suffered by the British and French for the recap ture of each square yard on the Somme front is proved by the fact that in three and one-half months about ninety fresh divisions were vir tually annihilated, so that 1t was nec- essary to withdraw them forever. (Ninety divisions represent a total of considerably more than 100000 men. There are about 12,000 men in French divisions and 19,000 in a British division). These divisions disappeared entire from battle. Eff ty-Ave divisions in consequence of their great losses, were able to en- gage in combat only twice. fifteen di- visions three times and only one wa {, able to engage in combat four times.

Buys Wool Pickings.

A picturesque individual is about
Bennington this week from Chelsea,
Mass, collecting wooden rags. The
man confines himself entirely to wooden
rag clippings for the cloth makers of
some New England mill-towns, goes
about without team, and pays from
zoe to 25c per pound for such as he pur-
chases. He ships them to Boston
where they are sorted and re-made into
cloth. The entire country is being
combed for wooden pickings for this
purpose. On account OF the war Eng
land is requisitioning all wool from Aus
tralia with corresponding shortage in
this country. The American wool sup
ply cannot produce all the wool used in
the manufacture of cloth and the mill
men have resorted to pulling old rags
for certain grades of cloth.
Several years ago Bennington con-
Germ ordered large shipment of dye
from abroad. On arrival it was found
that lot of black dye had been shipped
by mistake. There was some contro.
versy and it was settled by the Ben
nington company keeping the barrel
and putting it in storage. In storage
it stayed up to the outbreak of the war.
During the past month the travelling
representative for wholesale dye CON-
pany made his rounds and learned OF
the barrel. AS the color was such that
it could not be used by the local con-
Germ, the travelling man bought it for
his trade. The local concern in normal
times paid at the rate of So per 10C
pounds for what dye the barrel con-

Gov. Gates for the Perry Bill
Having Been Misrepresented by the
Local Option Forces, He Comes Out
for Prohibition

Feeling that he has been misrepresented
in the booklet recently issued by the Ver-
mont Local Option League, Gov. Charles
w. Gates, Vermont's honored executive,
furnishes the papers of Vermont on Mon
day, Feb. Is, with the following letter:
81 have just received a copy of the booklet
issued by the Vermont Local Option League,
in which my name, as governor, appears
prominently in such manner as to lead the
reader to think that am in favor of local
option on the liquor question.
81 have positive convictions on this sub
ject as many well know but have purpose
ly refrained from allowing the use of my
official position to influence the vote on the
Perry bill next March because l am deeply
conscious of my obligation, as governor to
all the people in the state, and in the course
Of correspondence made my position clear
to the secretaries of both organizations
Notwithstanding this my name has
been used, as above stated, by the Local
Option league without my knowledge or con-
sent in such manner and in such connection
that the impression conveyed by its use not
only misleads, but also grossly misrepresents
my position. For this reason l feel war
ranted in making this public statement.
THE words quoted in the booklet from
my inaugural address express my position
precisely, and would not alter word used
therein. They were used in considering con-
structive work by the state, but not the de-
structive work of those evils that call for
: exercise of the police powers OF the state.
II am not in favor of the principle of To-
cal option as applied to the liquor question,
but am in favor of prohibition and shall vote
for the Perry Bill"

Prohibition VS.. Local Option
A Striking Contrast Of the Two
Methods

l. Local option means at least SO Ii
censed saloons in Vermont each year.
PROHIBITION WILL CLOSE EVERY
ONE OF THEM.
2. Local option fosters the dive and
the bootlegger. The saloonkeepers say,
They are our best customers.
PROHIBITION WITH TEETH" WILL
PINCH THEM.
g. Local option means million dollars
of Vermont money worse than wasted in
licensed liquor saloons each year.
PROHIBITION WILL SEND MUCH
OF THIS MONEY INTO CHANNELS OF
USEFUL SERVICE.
4. Local option compels dozen strong
no-license towns to suffer from the licens-
ed saloons of town like Bethel, which
gave majority of one vote for license.
PROHIBITION WILL PUT AN END
TO THAT NUISANCE.
5. Local option means the partnership
of state in the Misunderstanding liquor
traffic through the license fees received.
PROHIBITION WILL SSOLV f
THAT PARTNERSHIP.
6. Local option in Vermont is favored
at the present time by the liquor interests
of the whole country, just as they favor
license in New JERSEY and PENNSYLVANIA
PROHIBITION is VIOLENTLY OPP
POSED BY THESE SAME LIQUOR IN
TERESTS IN VERMONT, JUST AS
THEY OPPOSE LOCAL OPTION IN
