prohibition and put it In our consti-
tuition. That settled the question as
far ar Nebraska is concerned. Later

prohibition. I opposed those great
changes but I accepted them when
they were triumphant, and I have
since supported the laws necessary to
enforce them This I propose to con-
tinue to do"
