is a sight for the gods indeed;
Benz. L. Rosenbloom, as we stated
above, is not running on a wet
platform and is not making pro
liquor campaign as a candidate 1oo
Congress. AS we said above ne
simply stated plainly and In trutn
and candor his life long position on
the LIQUOR question as an honest
statement TO the voter6 OF th's
district OF his situation in that re-
spect-an honorable and manly
stand we think-and one which Mr..
Nicely in his whole political career
ever matched in honesty and frank
Candor. Now as the bona hde He
publican candidate for Congress he
is running on the Republican par
tvs platform and that platform
alone. Mr.. Rosenbloom Is no fool
and he Is not and never has advo'
Gated the restoration OF the saloon
traffic or the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors. Any one
who alleges or infers such thing
is distorting the truth and giving
currency to falsehood. we. tneTe-
fore, want to warn Republican Vot'
ers against this smooth Democratic
scheme to arouse dry Republican
voters and embitter them agatnet
their candidate for Congress on this
worn out issue and appeal to them
to stand steady and think clearly
and sanely on this camouhaging
campaigning scheme. It Is more
important by far to elect a Repub-
lican Congress than anything else
in this election. We believe the
bread and butter, the solid pros
perity OF this nation depends upon
the election of Republican Con-
gress this year. II Republican dry
voters, men and women, are going
to permit themselves TO be STAN
peded into voting against their
own candidate on side issue and
distortion Of facts and whispered
iusinuations they will play again
into the hands OF Democracy and
continue the misrepresentation OF
this district in congress.
In closing let us quote Mrs. Lena
Lowe Yost, the mother OF prohibit
ton in this state, who says, among
other things in detailed statement
to women voters OF this state on
this very question:: Governor
Cox has not lifted his hand nor
used his voice for the adoption or
enforcement of any laws prohibiting
the beverage liquor traffic. HIS
advocacy Of modification of the en-.
COrcemcut laws is we'll known. He
had the active support Of the. H.
quor interests in his nomination
and has through the liquor organs
still maintained by the organized
movement against prohibition been
heralded as the wet candidate.
lie has repeatedly refused since
his nomination TO put himself. on
record in any way that will show
any sympathy with prohibition or
to commit himself against modifi-
cation of the Federal law" The
Republicans who may be fooled by
this clever scheme tomorrow can
rest assured that Mr.. Nicely nor
none OF the speakers who appear
with him will dwell long on the H.
Quor record of his party and its
candidates aside from himself-and
that record as to himself Is nil
Our recollection is that Mr.. Nicely
was conveniently absent. and SO
noted in the question OF adoption
and submission OF the Prohibition
Amendment, and adoption OF the
Volstead Act. The artful dodger is
now attempting to plume himself
as tfue blue dry, Too thin!
There Is but one safe plan for
all Republican voters of every typo
and walk in ltre-VOTE a
STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICK
