Gentlemen, including the one in the telephone oth! T will tell you tonight why prohibition must be repealed! (Cheers.) And why, if I am elected, that is the first thing that will be do (Cheers.) Gentlemen, a serious menace is imperiling this fair country of ours. A menace that is growing day by day and which threatens to de- stroy whi ever culture we may possess! This me gentlemen, is the He is indeed a yel- low peril because a yellow back is his lethal weapon! (Cheers.) A Nouveau Souse, puveau Souse! my friends, is a man who is not used to Ha vor, who never th ht of taking a drink before prohibition, or before he realized the golden oppor- tunities in’ its effects, who uses nature’s great gift: merely to show his opulence and as a key to open doors that he could not enter before! He is the al pre-war Seoteh as a sedative upon weak-minded sholic climber, using aristocrats! His method is insidious, my friends! He creeps up upon you when you are in a mellow mood! Give bim an inch and he'll take your girl! Beware of him, my friends! Shun him as yon would the y He is easy to spot. He makes a great deal of noise, so that everyone is sure to notice him. He puts ornate bottles on the top of his table, or orders expensive libations in a loud voice, and insists upon buying everybody a drink! He slaps you on the back, throws food, tells dirty stories and paws ladies! He insults waiters and bartenders, and the more he drinks the more offen- he gets!

In the meantime, my friends, gird up thy rs and give this ge the coldeve! Be strong and of a 1 cour age and reject his in- Vitations to wine and dine! Refuse his in- sidious offers of liq- uid sustenance! Re member that election time is not far off, ind then, my friends we shall be free of this beast of prey! We shall be free not only of the Nouveau Souse, but of the oppres- / sive high cost of living high, Tam a man ef few promises, but Tecan promise you, my friends, that if Tam clected the high cost of high living will come down! Once more it will be possible to yet on a merry- go-round for $1.50 without war tax; once more it will be possible to get in a telephoning spirit at the small cost of $3.00; once more it will be pos sible to take your girl friend out for the evening at the st 1 cost of $7.50!) And this, gentlemen, includes taxi fares, If Iam cleeted, I can prom ise you that the price of a good time will be eut not only in half, but in one-tenth of one-half!
