Dry Leader Says Tuesday’s Election
Important To Those Opposing Liquor
Editor o£ Transylvania Times:
The most important thing to con
sider fd>ot:t a candidate in the elec
tion five days from today is not his
politics but his character; not his
party but his principle. There has
probably never been a more import
ant election in North Carolina than
the one we are facing right now.
It seems from reports that there
will be an effort made in the next
general assembly to put North Caro
lina’s stamp of approval on the
manufacture and sale of beverage al
cohol, and that too, in the face o.
the well known fact that the results
of the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment have been directly oppo
site to that which the advocates 01
repeal promised us.
It has not helped the temperance
cause or created temperance in youth;
it haf not brought in the revenue:
it has not stopped or even diminished
bootlegging activities; it has not les
sened the percentage of crime.
Some who favored repeal are bon
iest enough to confess these facts, an<.
express their diaappointment.
j E. R. Caton, chief of the Califor
I nia patrol, when reporting an in
crease of forty per cent in fata! Nh
| cidents due to drunken driving, saw:
l “I am particularly disappointed orec
the figures because I felt that taa
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
! would not only put an end to the
; tolerable conditions that were breed
ing crime but would also result ia
'less drinking.”—Pathfinder, October
! 13br. Theron Kilmer, police surges
•of Nassau county, New York, in t \

I convention just held in Washing!
cited police figures for different
parts of the country which show *
shameful inerta«e in the number <r
automobile accidents chargeable M

drivers had increased 25 per cent in
