We are going to use all our powers to inifluonce the second ballot, and seeing that the vote for national prohibition is so large, that is our reason for immediate action. WhiJo we were disappointed that no more electorates went for No-License, we feel very hopeful that we need only one more stride at the same ratio of progress to emancipate this country from the liouor traffic."
