 1 Mfr. Paris declared it was his can did opinion" that fully 75 per cent of the citizenship is at heart against the continuance of the liquor traffic and want the Nolstead act enforced. "I am told there is more drinking now than there ever was before prohibit ton. My view is that most persons are not drinking at all."
 No definite blanks were suggested with the exception that he said The was agreed with a noted federal judge who said the Eolstead act should be amended so that the former aliens , who violate that law shall forfeit their citizenship and become automat- ically subjects for deportation" Compare our marvellous record of achievements with the record of non- action and non-results by the other parties. save as they were forced to action by the people after we had , educated them up to the point of demanding action and results" con- tinued Mir.

 Then you will have vivid contrast between a party eXpounding the truth and ever standing for righteous poli- tical principles and those whose chief end is that of obtaining and holding the office.
