Or shall we let the saloons go on with the business of selling liquor? Shall this state stay wet? THAT’S THE SUBJECT OF THE STAR’S BIG DEBATE ON THE WET AND DRY QUESTION. It is open to every one of The Star’s 200,000 readers. It promises to be the greatest letter writing referendum ever conducted.

It’s this: The Star, in addition to printing the best let- ters for and against liquor, will award a prize each week for the best “dry” letter, and also for the best “wet” letter. The short letters, those to the point, those that deal with facts, will, of course, stand the best show of winning the weekly prizes. And the prize each week will be $10, or $5 for the best “dry” letter and $5 for the best “wet” letter. Now, get busy!
