my opponent in the congressional
race in which we are engaged says in
every speech he makes that prohioi-
ton Is a dead issue" said Mr. Cobb,
continuing. "He will find when the
votes are counted at the close OF pri-
mary day that the man who tried to
dodge the prohibition question viii be
a dead duck in the political pond. He
says prohibition Is a dead issue. YET
when in his Bandera, speech he said
that liquor would be banished from
American soil when the prohibition
amendment TO the federal constitution
was ratified by a tWo-thirds majority
Of the states Of the union. he was tu-
multously cheered. He may have
mistaken those cheers as a tribute to
himself He is vain enough TO have
taken that view. The fact IS. that the
people Of Bandera county believe that
prohibition is still a very live issue.
What is true OF Bandera county is
true OF every other county in the dis
trict and OF the state OF Texas"
