PROHIBITION VOTE
WILL REACH $4,000
G. o. p. Would Have Won Had

o. w. Stewart.

Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 9.-Oliver w.
Stewart. chairman Of the prohibition ma
tional campaign committee. to-day issued
Il statement in which he said the prohibi-
ton vote would reach $50. 600. and that
had the Republican party and its nom-
nee said anything against the liquor traf-
fic enough prohibitionsts would have
voted the republican ticket to have as
sured Mr.. Hughes election in earlier re-
turns. Mr. Stewart said:
Returns from our vote are slow in
coming in. but we have heard enough to
justify us in expecting the final total
of votes polled for Mr.. Hanly, the prohi-
btion candidate for president. to reach
$4,000 Mr.. Chain, our candidate four
years ago. polled 20S,OO0 votes.
so close was the race between Hughes
and Wilson that the increased vote which
Hanly received in several States. if given
to the loser. would have changed the
result. Many progressves who believe in
prohibition turned to Hanly rather than
Hughes because of the silence of the lat
ter on the issue in which they are inter
estcd."

han, eavc us motto. That motto is
Boom tho apple, and the ample will
boom Vermont"
we began booming the apple, but Cor
three years no answering boom was
heard. Last year at tho New England
Fruit Show. in Boston. the Vermont ap-
pie gave a boom that was heard all over
New England. The Vermont exhibit
that went down there came home with
fiftY-three ribbons. or more than all the
other states combined. except Massa
chusetts, which naturally go more, be-
ing right on the spot. Tonight the Yer
mont apple and other New England APP
pies are giving boom which will be
heard across the continent.
I'VE are glad the other States are
with us tonight. New England is not
a large place. and the States should act
in unison. We must not lay too much
emphasis on the fact that a certain box
is Vermont apples, or Maine apples, or
Connecticut apples. but on the fact that
they are New England apples. still
realize that it is hard to forget State
lines, but these New England fruit
shows are making it easier, The bet
ter acquainted we become with our
neighborng growers, the easier coop
Grafton win be- and when we look at
these apples here tonight, the finest
lot of apples in America. we can see
that the Massachusetts. Vermont and
New Hampshire apples are very much
alike.
Now here at this meeting. let us
start to boom the New England apple
and in two or three years that boom
will be heard across the Rocky noun
tains. and the people there will hear it
and understand that it means that they
can no longer send their inferior quail
ity apples into the markets under our
very noses and get the price per box
4 that we get per barrel"
