was empty. Two farmers who had
come to town for their Saturday
night shopping, declared that they

the farmers as he glanced up and
down the streets crowded with auto

cmphatically stated that Prohibition
is better than saloons. One of them
declared that all the young men in
town so far as he knew felt,the same
way about it. When the interviewer
expressed surprise at this statement
the young man thought it over for
a moment and admitted that he knew
one young man in town among his
acquaintance who would probably
prefer saloons.

New York Democrats
Vote For Beer

The unofficial democratic state con-
vention in New York on August 4,
passed the following resolutions:
I'VE favor an amendment to the So
called Nolstead Act that will make
operative the act passed by the state
legislature and signed by Governor
Smith defining Notwithstanding beve-
RACES and providing for the regula-
ton of their sale
This resolution refers to the rs
beer bill recently passed by the New
York Legislature.
The situation in New York illus
trates the strategy of the vets in H.
linois. New York has beer law
and the vets want the Volstead Ma
tional Prohibition Act changed so
that their state law can become op-
erative. Illinois has a state enforce

ment law setting one-half of l per
cent as the alcoholic limit which
would continue to be operative even
though the Nolstead Act were
amended to permit beer and wine.
Therefore the Illinois vets are fight
ing not only for a wet Congress to
change the national law but also for
wet legislature TO change the state
law. That is why the president OF
the Cook County Liquor Dealers
Association recently said, I'VE in
Illinois have search and
seizure law that must be wiped out
before we can be benefited by nation
al legislation"

HOW TO VOTE
Cut This Out and Carry 1t to the
Polls With You

On account of there being three
representatives from each district, the
law gives each voter three votes for
Representative, which he may dis
tribute equally among three candi-
dates or divide the three votes equally
between two candidates, or plump"
all three votes for one candidate.
Illustration No.
" e.;., Ballot marked in this way
" D., for Representatives counts
Io,as one vote each for Smith,
Brown and Jones.
Illustration No. 2
Or he may divide his votes equally
between two candidates by placing a
cross in the square in front of the
names of two candidates, thus:
Ballot marked in this way
x Smith for Representatives counts
x Brown IL votes for Smith, IL
Jones votes for Brown. Moth
ing for Jones.
Illustration No. 3
Or he may give all three votes to
one candidate by placing a cross in
the square in front of one candidate
only, thus:
Ballot marked in this way
x Smith for Representatives counts
Brown three votes for Smith,
Jones nothing Brown. Nothing
for Jones.
This is called "plumping" the vote
for one candidate.
1t is plain that the best policy for
the drys in districts where they have
no representative in the Legislature
at present is to mass or plump" their
votes for one candidate in the party
that has the best chance to win at
election. 1t is clear that massing or
'plumping" the three votes for one
candidate increases the chances for
nomination of such candidate.
But in districts where the Anti
Saloon League has indorsed more
than one candidate for nomination or
election, dry voters should vote for
the candidates indorsed.

National Dry Law
Help to Dry Dixon
Only Fourteen Arrests for Drunk
enness First Year With
Nation Dry

A report to the Issue by the Chief
of Police of Dixon shows the advan-
tage of National Prohibition to cities
that were dry under local option.
Dixon went dry in May, 1916. There
was great decrease in drunkenness
but liquor accessible in nearby wet
places caused the police of Dixon
considerable trouble. During the last
wet year, from May l, 1915, to May
|, 1916, there were 32l arrests for
drunkenness. From July l, 1918, to
July /, 191o the last year preceding
national Prohibition, there were 70 ar
rests for drunkenness. From July /,
1919, to July /, 1920, only II were ar
rested for drunkenness in Dixon.

STRIKERS ASSOCIATION
OSTRACIZED BY LABOR

CHICAGO. April 1.-THE switch

here from various points, and
the claims OF railroad officials.
Decision of the railroad unions af-

leaves the strikers and their newly
formed organization. the Yardmen's
Association, completely isolated from
the support Of all other labor organi-

tive hostility OF the big railroad
brotherhoods, the threat of Federal
prosecution and a marked public
sentiment against the strike, appar-
entity has caused the switchmen to
realize that their chances OF victory
are remote.
In Chicago, the railroads began
lifting freight embsreocs and an

store the traffic movement to nor
