■ The Truth About | 1 PROHIBITION and MURDER | HH MURDER is being committed in prohibition Kansas with H| far greater frequency than in Nebraska. pi Official Prison Record: || Iff KANSAS-- Sentenced for Murder in 2 years 85 % Jj| NEBRASKA-Sentenced for Murder in 2 years 29 M. I Eighty-five Kansas murderers convicted and sentenced in the short space of two years ending June 30, 1916, as |jj against twenty-nine in Nebraska in the same period! jv The appalling murder record of Kansas carries a lesson of % terrible import to the citizens of Nebraska. Under prohibi- M. tion there has grown up in Kansas the inevitable “Alley Joint” evil. In these “joints” liquors of the vilest sort are jjP dispensed to men and boys by dissolute characters, both u male and female, spreading crime and debauchery to every m part of the state. j jf (Excerpts from article in “The Topeka Daily State Journal” ^ I of August 29, 1916.) j * * * “O/ the 166 criminal cases docketed for the September term of court, 106 are for violations of the prohibitory law. **** As a rule, about one-tenth of the cases brought charg• J ing violations of the prohibitory law are tried. They cost the ' county about SSO each, ’ ’ f "One noticeable thing about the criminal docket for the C September term is that forty-six of the JOINT cases are \ against women. ’ ’ * If you are opposed to the Alley Joint evil and the increase of crime, vote No on the prohibi- i tion amendment. The squares shown below will appear at the TOP of the ballot. An X marked in square 301 is a vote AGAINST PROHIBITION. j * YeS 1 300 Q Shall the above and foregoing amendment ft No to the Constitution be adopted? \ [X]| _| ' J The Nebraska Prosperity League §j OPPOSED TO STATE PROHIBITION.
