"Judge, would you mind tellin* Charlie here what you told me the other night aralkrn' home from lodge. 1 can't word it just the way you did."
' Sure thing. Tim. Here's what I told him, Charlie. There's no such thing as votin' a nation, a state, a county, or even a com-munity dry. We had proof enough of that
during our 13 years of prohibition. What you really vote for is whether liquor it going to be sold legally or illegally...whether the community is going to get needed taxes for schools, hospitals, and the like, or whether this money is going to go to gangsters and bootleggers. That's the answer, boys . . . simple mm A-B-C."
