Are yon better off now than you were
under the Republican adm inistration?
Are you satisfied?
If you believe in the principles of the
Republican Party, if you are convinced
th a t these principles are the best for the
country, then prove it by voting for
your standard bearer, Robert A. Booth,
Republican candidate for the U nited
States Senate.
You know th a t under Republican
presidents the people of the United
States have good tim es.
You know th a t under Democratic
Hofer presidents you have Democratic tim es.
nothing whatever to do. The
real reason is found in the
fact that today there is a
vastly greater amount of
beer consumed. And beer
is not conducive to drunken
ness.
Prohibition is a failure
and has had but one effect
wherever tried: to put a
ban upon the open and
above-board drinking of
beer and other light bev
erages and to drive men
to s e c r e t, im m oderate
drinking of the strongest
stimulants. This is notably
true of Maine, a prohibition
state. There is ten times
as much drunkenness per
capita as there is in France.
