Prohibition and Polities

Having lost most of the ground

past half century the prohibition

forces are now preparing to start a Dominion-wide campaign for total prohibition. Since they started monkeying with the laws of the country and securing all kinds of -prohibitory legislation the great masses of the people are rapidly slipping from under and are in revolt. Human

They must make their doctrine attractive’ and show the people how to smile and laugh without a stomach full of liquor.

The word ‘‘prohibition’’ is it- self contrary to human nature. To the average person ‘‘prohibi-

member for that part of the country. The next important consideration would'be locating the dividing line between east and west Umineca. Some think it should be drawn between Smithers and Telkwa to give a division of the population, ‘but if the geography-is considered the line would be moved much fur- ther east. In any dase the gov- ernment figures that the re- arrangement will give them a solid north, Hon. T. D. Pattullo will be hard to defeat in Prince Rupert city. Hon, A.M. Manson will likely take the east end af Omineca, where he has centered his efforts for several years past and this will leave west Ominec for Olof Hanson to fight out, possibly with a Provincial Party candidate, or perhaps -he will have a three-cornered fight. Mr. Perry will again carry the gov- ernment banner in Prince George.
