FIGHTING MAIL PLAN
OF LIQUOR DEALERS

A determined effort to stamp out the
system of "circulating" North Dako-
ia, as employed by liquor handling
concerns of the nation has been
launched by the North Dakota En-
forcement league.
F. L. Watkins, superintendent of the
league, makes this statement of the
matter:
'"The North Dakota Enforcement
league is receiving numerous protests
from over the state against liquor ad.
vertising coming through the United
States mail by the thousands and the
letters include such terms as an insult
to North Dakota an insult to intell-
gent people, There letters urge action
to put an end to such advertising.
There are two ways to stop this;
First, there is movement on now
backed by the united temperance
forces of the nation to secure the pas
sage of federal measure prohibiting
the use of mails for liquor advertising
Second, if the coming legislature
would pass what is known as the Bone
dry law prohibiting the transportation
OF any lnIOXlcaLlnS liquor lutO NOILH
Dakota for beverage purposes, the H.
quor companies would have no further
reason to advertise in this state and it
would practically solve the problem of
law enforcement. The people of Ari-
IONA and Oregon have adopted such a
law by popular vote and other states
are getting into line.
What do you say? We would be
glad to hear from you as to your opin-
;on on this matter. If the time has
'nme for such movement we are
ready to put the North Dakota En-
forcement league back of it,"
