THEY CAN’T EXPLAIN THIS AWAY.
In a demcoratic country votes talk, and when they have spoken there is no douht about what they mean. Now ask the New Zealand liquor traffic how' it is that, in the U.S.A., iri tlie Stales that went' dry before National Prohibit! (oil, the’ pdoplc| after trying ifj voted to keep Prohibition by increasing majorities. Here are some of the vb't’bs that slibw' that' the voting rniijdrity like' Prohibition':.—
. The total aggregate increase in the “dry” majority for the six States was ,700.320 votes, after two years’ trial. When we get New Zealand Prohibition w 0 shall find the same results. People can find out when the liquor traffic is .abolished, that a wasteful, ’unmitigated nuisance has been , removed. Once they have tasted the benefits of Prohibition, no amount of lying and yellipg by tlie liquor interests can befool the people into voting it hack again. Prohibition is just, commonsense. N.X.
