NOT BY MY VOTE
Men will have strong drink, and men will sell liquor, but NOT BY MY VOTE. Hotels may go ori like the brook, forever, and men mary die by the hundreds through them, but NOT BY MY VOTE. Truth may be wrecked and character dismantled, homes may be destroyed and women and children beggared, but NOT BY MY VOTE. Children may be taught its snare; the victims of alcohol may fill our prisons and asylums, but NOT BY MY VOTE. Liquor may impoverish **»id degrade the people, producing idleness, disease and^ pauperism It may breed anarchy and crime, but NOT BY MY VOTE. The liquor traffic may corrupt the social and political life of the nation; it may worm its way into all business and even in?' the sacred precincts of the home and the chinch, but NOT BY MY VOTE. Strong drink will be driven from our land, yes, WITH MY VOTE. .
