lar In construction and tone to the
advertisements and arguments
against prohibition which appeared
in the columns OF the Times prior
TO the dry election in Washington.
There isn't SO much being said
about the evil effects OF prohibition
in Kansas as was said In the adver-
tisements that appeared in Seattle.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
the men responsible for the wet
publicity have found out what !
have-that II isn't safe TO base any
arguments against prohibition on
conditions In that state. On the
contrary, have become convinced
that the results OF prohibition In
Kansas are about as powerful argu-
ments for the 'drys' as they could
possibly desire.
THE Times admits II was wrong
when It said, during the campaign
against prohibition. that the en-
forcement OF the statutes would
mean miles OF empty stores In Sc
attic, reduced bank clearings. re-
duced bank deposits, reduced rem
tails. reduced realty values and gen
