thruout the nation, and when the Vol-

a vestige of the old dry laws in any
of the states.
' History will repeat itself if dry
enthusiasts do not combine as the
liquor forces are doing. Pay your

dates who are enforcers of the dry

for law enforcement rather than for
laxity, as in the last election.”

of law and order do not do their
