and as violent partisan OF
Carlson. was it implicated in the
game of a great issue in 1918?
Probably not in both cases,
but in both cases it is certainly
making their (Lhe Anti-Saloon
league's) words good by firing
the first gun "the democrats
are wet. Elect US, and we'll give
you real dry law-the law you
want. +"
Now to sum up the facts OF
conditions: The Carlson la W
was better than the saloon, but
it permitted personal importa-
tions without any limit as to
amount, and the possession with
out restriction as to place. The
present law is better than the
old law in that it limits the guam
ity that can he imported, and
makes it a violation of the law
to be found with that boose out
side their private homes.
