Show The Smoot hyphen seems very much perturbed per-turbed regarding the attitude of the liquor men in the coming campaign for since the raw killing kill-ing of a year ago it has been difficult for the federal bunch to frame up a new trap to gather in the liquor Interests. It was so easy before and the results, political and financial, were so gratifying grati-fying to the bunch that they are having a hard time to plan another campaign, where as the price of silence they can get another bundle of 'sucker money. Of course, they haven't tjold where all the money went to, but that isn't really necessary. They got it to start with when they abruptly ended their campaign for prohibition; but who got it when Governor Spry vetoed the prohibition bill will never be 'known. Certainly Spry did not, though there were powerful Interests Inter-ests at Work making the veto positive, and they worked so hard that really they were entitled to some fair compensation. They got it com!ng and going, and it was as clever a piece of graft as has ever been seen In all the machinations of the tricksters who have controlled the situation in this state since Smoot came into power. |
