As "More Anon" seems to think ' that prohibition will increase the ' consumption of liquor, will he , B please answer the following ques tions: V Why did the liquor men in 190?: V pay out $14,000 in bribes to mem- j bers ot the Minnesota Legislature to 11 I obtain the defeat of a country local ) r option act? Why did they spend I i $110,000 last year in the West1 \ a Virginia Legislature to defeat the;1 * prohibition amendment to the con-; stitution.
