But North Carolina, remember ! is
the first State in the present tem

prohibition. In all the other States
the question has been decided by
legislative act, and how the whiskey
interests are claming that North
Carolina's vote will show that the
people, that the country people, are
not behind this movement of their

is the touch-stone. Its voice is eager

rural population will but exert itself
