Show OPEN LETTER TO THE BUSINESS M MEN OF OGDEN ALLIED WITH H THE LIQUOR TRUST. H Fellow-Citizens: It Ik a matter of H groat rogret to your friends nnd fel- H low-citizens to see In this morning's H paper your names as co-workers with H TFh.it Is known all over America as a H far worse and more dangerous trust H than the Standard Oil or any other H the Whisky nnd Boor trust of Aracr- H The "Manufacturers and Business H Men's association" is known evcry-H evcry-H whoro as the distinct movement of the H wholesalo liquor men to prevent pro- H hlbltlon. and for which they have H poured into state after state unlimited fl amounts of money. Hj They havo no concern for YOUR H business; they seelc but to make you H the catspaw for THEIR business. You Hl have our slnoero pity In being made Hj the tools of a trust that dares not come B out and fight in the open, and of a H business which over half the nation H has outlawed, and which courts all H affirm is the chief source of crime. H But few of you would so lower your- H pelves as to enter tho places of busi- Hj ncss you aro supporting, and whose H success means the ruining of your own H customers, the non-payment of your H accounts and the diverting of the mon- H ey of Ogden from your tills to the H pockctH of tho brewers and distillers, H many in distant states who have no H interest in Ogdon and its welfare. H Wo appeal to those of you who feel H conscientiously that you should sup- H port the 'wet" side, to do no without H joining this association, which is or- H ganized for the sole purpose of pro- H tecting tho liquor business and foster- M ing the open saloon. |
