The number of illicit stills seized dur~ ing those years is as followsz~ 4,888 in 1920; 10,991 in 1921; 10,994 in 1922; 14,000 in 1923; 15,853 1n 1924. We have not the figures for '25 and '26.

There have been pleblscltes held, but the electors overwhelmingly re- fused to countenance the Act to the extent o-i wasting any time in kil- ling it.

But even those efforts had to be made. like the lliclt sale of liquor in the “Speakd-JEBY" style. it has been so obnoxious to the great majority that it has ' sunk under its own weight, if the popular voice is not smothered by sortie illegitimate means-even with money and liquor. This possibility brings , to mind the fact that this is n general P-ro- vlncial election which will be used as a cloak for Prohlbitloulst work- era, and shows the need of every iprecaution being taken by the Gov- ernment Control committees to de- tect and run down smuggling and bootlegglng by their opponents It is all bosh to raise’ the cry of non uforcement oi prohibition as _ Drastic steps have been taken to enforce lt-even to the extant oi" bringing detectives ‘here to procure evidence —.sil of. which proved a dismal failure. dis prmnoters also had the iull power oi the Legislature at their ibsoks to the extent of fram- ing thelr own amendments, on all of which ‘they have exhausted all their legal ingenuity-but all prov- ed an utter sfallure-the act could not arr cannot‘ be enforced! ‘ The question may be asked "what is the reason of this failure?
