SUNDAY FIGHTS BOOZE
Evangelist VIII Help Drys Win Elec-
ton in Michigan

Detroit, Oct 1S.-Equaling in inter
est. if not overshadowing the APP
preaching presidential and guberna-
torial election in Michigan is the ques-
tlon of statewide prohibition which
the people will vote upon early in No
vember. The Michigan anti-saloon
league and the Michigan Home Rule
league have mustered their forces for
the battle with great preparation and
poignant and forceful arguments are
reverberating thruout the common
wealth today.
One of the leading factors in the
"drys" fighting force is the Rev. Billy
Sunday, who is conducting an evan
gelistic campaign in Detroit. His Wit
riolic utterances in Detroit have spur
red the advocates of home rule to
quicken their efforts. Il helped tc
make Colorado dry and I'll help swing
Michigan into the dry column ir
November said Mr.. Sunday in a ser
mon in the big tabernacle last night
Il believe there are church members
who are unwilling to throw out the
cards and the booze. even tho they
know they will make their sons gam
blers and drunkards-
If 1 had my way, I'd have every
pack of cards on earth and every DROP
of beer in hell before midnight"
Michigan has not been legally dry
since 1875. For twenty years preeed-
ing that year a state law prohibited
the sale of liquor, but the system was
defective. Should the people of Mich
igan adopt the state wide prohibition
amendment next month. it will become
effective in April. 1917

that buying for immediate shipment
Is comparatively good. while ordering

tendencies is. Of course. a spirit of

but counteracting this are fears that
supplies may not be sufficient to meet
requirements. Industrial operations
continue at relatively high speed,
summer shutdowns are for shorter
