be guilty of such acts. These poor deluded
creatures are more to he pitied than blamed.

hystcria. They lose sight of the fact that
while they have ratified the amendment,
they have antagoni2ed AT least 10000. 600
voters who are opposed to prohibition. The
majority has ruled, but this fact does not
pacify the minority by big majority, and
will be a big factor in the presidential cleo
