Dear Bob) — How goes it? Are you doing anything in the liquor Iglit? I've thought the whole thing over and have decided that I must do as you have done. It was a bit of a fight, for you know how many of my cronies are interested, directly or indirectly, in the "trade," but there's nothing else for it. It's 110 good any way you look at it. I've lost thousands of pounds through bad debts 011 account of liquor. You remember , who let me in for £lsoo—that was all because he went, to pieces through liquor. I could never make up niv mind to vote against, it liefore, but that proclamation fnke and the three-issue trick at the general election helped to clinch it. As for State control, if we want that let's get it by voting the "trade" out now for £4,500,000, instead of having to pay them £12,000,000 to £15,000,000 at the next election. I hear that dozens of business men are looking at it that way, and my tip is that voting for the child and the nation is a winner on the 10th. C'heerol Yours, HARRY.
