gives the same smooth,
steady flow of power.

THE W. C. T. U. REPLIES.
Editor of Frontier: There appear
ed in the local item.: of the January
25, 1929, Holt County Independent an
article which to my mind is a direct
insult to the intelligence of the Women
of America, and especially those affili
ated with the W. C. T. U. It reads in
part as follows:
“The W, C. T. U., an organization
that has always been republican now
seeks to resist the confirmation of Mrs.
Ryan on the Board of Control, * * *
Mrs. Ryan is chairman of the Woman’s
National Democratic Committee for
Nebraska, clean and able. Although
dry in practice, she saw in Governor
Smith a man who would do things”***
To my mind the American people
saw the same thing that Mrs. Ryan
did, and that was, according to his
own statement, if eelcted president he
would do all in his power to amend, if
not entirely wipe out the 18th amend
ment, and by her actions she upheld
and favored that proceeding, even
though it would be a violation of his
oath when inaugurated as president.
It is certainly gratifyingtoknowthat
a great majority of the American peo
ple so emphatically resented the prin
ciples announced by Governor Smith,
and upheld by his supporters.

Countv President and Secretary Local
