I claim that the socialists of
Europe, and of the large Ameri-
can cities, make war upon our
marriage system, and believe in
free love; that they oppose the
private ownership of land, and
every other ‘means of produc-
tion’; that they believe in racial
and social equality; that they
combat the church and religion;
rind that their creed dissolves
home-life, as we know it.

until you examine his platform
closely. Heae's one of the
strong planks that gives way un-
der inspection. vHe favors a law
prohibiting saloons within three
miles of a church or u school
house “outside of incorporated
towns.” Aiid that is exactly
wbftt the saloon interests .want,
too; they are wiying that the
oountry - should be dry :f the
saloons are permitted to operate
in the towns. Tho-tWIerence be-
tween Johnson aud Poindexter
on this score is that Jonnson
would clean them out of the
tow»s as [well as the country.
In other words, Johnson is a
sure enough prohibitionist.—-
