This is what President Harding
says about prohibition "In every COM
munity men and women have had an
opportunity to know what prohibition
means. They know that debts are
more promptly paid, that men take
home the wages that once were wasted
in saloons; that families are better
clothed and fed, and more money finds
it's way into the savings banks. The
liquor traffic was destructive of much
that was most precious in American
life. In the face of so much evidence
on that point what conscientious man
would want to let his own selfish de-
sires influence him to vote to bring it
back? In another generation / believe
that liquor will have disappeared not
merely from our politics, but from our
memories"
