New Haven, Conn, Nov 1-OPl -The allied prohibition forces or Connecticut, represented in the council of twelve, declare in reso- Iutions made public to-day that the state referendum on prohibition November 8 is a "sham battle ana should be ignored.
 The resolutions adopted by the council in executive session az Hartford last Friday, were released by Mrs Raymond Dodge, represent alive in the council of the Wom- ems Law Enforcement league.
 At the same time Professor Mli- ton Conover of Yale, independent republican candidate for Uniteu States senator, charged that a vi cious whispering campaign" was afoot to try to convince voters all ballots not containing an expres- sion on the prohibition referendum would be disqualified. The coun- cils resolutions point out the ref- erendum will have no binding erect on either the Connecticut legisia. ture or the national congress. lt is therefore a sham battle and the dry forces of Connecticut have nei- ther the time, nor money for a con- test so devoid of significance, the resolutions conclude.

The only way to stop this new infamy is to vote social- fat 0
