Dear Bob,— ';■•••■ How goes it? Are you doing anything, in the liquor fight?. ': I've thought the whole thing over and have decided that I must' do as. 'ypli 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 no good any way you look at it. I've lost thousands of pounds through bad: debts on :account of liquor. You remember -,- who let me in for £1500> —that.. was all because he went to pieces through liquor. I-. could^ never make Tip my mind to vote against it before, but that proclamation fake sand -the ; three-issue trick : at .the general election helped to clinch it. >As ? for State' control; if we want vthat let's; get ■it by .voting the "trade" put now} for de 4,500,000; .instead of having tp pay thetn -£12,000,000 ! /toy£ls,ooo,poo at; the; next election. I hear .that dozens of business men are lookiiig at it that way, and my tip is that liquor is a loser on the 10th. Choero! Yours, JACK.*
