How the efforts of parents par-ents nnd Instructors havo been neutralized, neu-tralized, how character has been un- dormlncd, reputations ruined, and comfortnblo prosperity changed Into dlro povorty and want. Wo submit that It Is unfair to clietk tho moral and flnnnclal growth of wholo communities to foster tho financial schemes of a few men who nro engaged as browqrs, or as wholesale whole-sale liquor dealers; who havo In tho pnst few years, sought by tho modt flagrant abuso of advertising to allure al-lure and seduce our youhg men to drunkenness and ruin. Wo denounce such business methods nnd ask you In tho Interests ot tho common peoples to resist tho Iraportu-Itles Iraportu-Itles that they havo mado of you to provldo places and facilities for the carrying-on of their destructive traf fic. Citizens of Logan, rouso to this opportunity. Crush onco again tho liquor traffic. Victory is in sight for tho peoplo. Tho laws prohibiting tho shipment of liquors into dry territory will Hamper and curtail tho bo'otleg-gor. bo'otleg-gor. In two years moro with tho present temper of tho peoplo, we ' ean havo stato wide prohibition. Let us not now retreat; lot us not go backward; let tho spirit of true progression, nerve our souls to hold every fort we havo won, nnd In addition addi-tion proparo to capture nnd to mako white tho wholo Stato of Utah two years hence. Men and women of Logan; wo ask you to "Hold tho Fort" onco again at this coming election. Signed, ' SAMUEL OLDHAM, W. H. SHAW, D. W. JAMES, Committee. |
