believe, with many others,
that we did the wise thing two
years ago in adopting a compro-
mise measure that would cause
only a partial prohibition at first.
But now that the big step has
been taken and the state is ac-
customed to it, we should go the
whole way. Abolish the poison
traffic from the confines of Wash

Here's what the automobile Or
ganization of the Rotary club did
on army post bond election day:
Carried more than 5000 voters
to the polls, keeping fleet of 5l5
automobiles on the go all Satur-
day afternoon and evening.
(There were more automobiles
than that, but not all of them
we're recorded.)
Kept an inspector with an auto
in every ward, circulating con-
stantly from voting place to vot-
ing place and reporting to Presi-
dent Ralph Shaffer at headquar-
tiers where automobiles could with
advantage be shifted from one
precinct to another.
Received 1000 phone calls on
the three phones at Rotary head
quarters between s a. m. and 8
p. m. President Shaffer and Sec
rotary George Woodbridge han
died the phones for ~ hours on
end without relief or anything to
eat.

Nearly 500 men besides the

worked in getting out the votes.

Now, boys. if l win or get beat in this race I will always be the same good fellow and I won't hold any grudge against anyone for their diff ference of opinion, for they have a right to their opinion"
 $. J. Bowie next addressed the meet ing and gave further reasons for Mir Wards election.
 "Dr. Barrett has not had the ex- perlence necessary for taking George Wards place." he said. He started to run for associate commissioner and that was within his province, for George Ward was an alderman first. and he made good and was promoted.
 George Ward has put Birmingham on the map and made Birmingham honest, and that is enough if he had never done anything else.
 ITO even make Birmingham as great as she should be, we must shake the chains of that constitution of 1875. which deprives Birmingham of that privilege that every other truly great city enjoys"

In conclusion he said: Nov, you have heard the platform of the T. As, and I want to ask if this is the only platform they have, why is it secret?"
