is tie place to set the pace and blaze
the way for the balance of the nation
and tie world.
This campaign does not propose to
interfere with individuals; it is wag
ing no war on tobacco; it is driving
only toward enforcement of the law
already on the statute books and the
enactment Of others that may be
necessary to reinforce them.
1T is intended primarily as a cam
paign OF education. Literature to
counterfeit the propaganda of the vets
is being disseminated, meetings will
be held and dry candidates will be
supported against those OF the vets
for every political office from presi-
