A� Al� Printing Neady and I romptly Done T_ ht e c o min g R u M Vote and Vote, "Yasa" on Ap�g-fl IS P'rHE OntaricP Temperance Act -as a war- time measure was an unqualified success. On -Octob er 25, 1919, the people of Ontario voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of the permanent continuance of the Ontario Tem- perance Act, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating beverages. The "Bootleggrer" blust Go On December, 31, 1920, came the repeal of the Federal Order-in-Council—which was also a war -time rneasure—Prohibiting importation, manufacture and export of intoxicating, beveragea. Thus it became possible for individuals in )rohlbi� tion. provinces to import liquors fo*r consumption in the home-, thus the "bootlegger" is able to* offer the same for SAle contrary to law, and thus the ekpressed will of the people in this province is being defeated. Importation Musd Cease Zvorything that applied in the last vote against the gate of intoxicating beverages within this province applies equally to the Use of them, and their I'mPorta- tioxx for beverage purposes should also be prohibited. Hence arose necessity for further legislation and another Referendum. - 4. 1 , , - " I .
